Bleacher Bums Forum

MSNBC has been calling out Trump pretty much all along.

And Fox has been calling out Clinton and Sanders.   Both FOX on the right and MSNBC on the left have lost impartial credibility.  And BTW, Trump does have a couple of butt buddies on MSNBC in the morning.

The only good thing on MSNBC is Lockup.

And no Im not a Trump supporter.

Every Trump supporter Ive spoken to around here are only doing so because they like his racist promises.

If my options are Trump or Hilary then Im most definitely gonna write in Ric Flair.

Wouldn't bet on it.  There are guys in the wrestling closet.

I'm not sure that "calling out Trump" would have made much of a difference.  In the three weeks before the primary here in Florida, you couldn't watch TV or listen to the radio for more than 10 minutes without being bombarded with ads "calling out Trump".  But it made no difference.

Part of Trump voters actually think that Trump would make a good president.  But I believe an even larger part of Trump supporters are more interested in "sticking a thumb in the eye of the Republican Establishment".

For years, they have been told that only a "moderate" can win in the general election, only to see the moderates lose.  For years they have voted for candidates in the House and Senate that promised to end Obamacare, reduce spending, reduce the national debt, etc. only to see them refuse to do those things necessary to accomplish this because it might imperil their reelection. 

They are sick and tired of "political correctness", and are pleased to see a candidate who refuses to be "politically correct", even when that particular "incorrectness" is idiotic on the face of it.

Trump would make a horrible President.  But not as horrible as Hillary, Sanders or Biden.

I'd definitely be OK with Charlotte too but I bet me and you are the only ones here who know who she is Curt.

At age 29, she does not meat the constitutional minimum requirements.... regardless how much you might like her positions.

This is not what GOP voters are sick of. They are sick of being told all about the free market and having their entire party pander to bigpharma and all out protectionism.

They are tired of being told they stick up for the little guys economic interest while all full on voting for every bail out.

Obamacare is better then the alternative, where those who can afford and pay for insurance subsidize all those that do not pay for it. My only problem with obamacare is that they did not go full single payer.

Who is worse off today then they were 8 years ago when we diving into the worst recession in 80 years? show of hands on this board. whose life is actually worse off today then 8 years ago?

Mine is much better. i lost my job in the restaurant industry at the first start of the recession at the start of 2008. My company was bought out by Bain capital in 2007,  and they started laying us off with righteous vengeance at the first start of the faultering.

I am at a loss to find peers who were worse off 8 years ago then they are now. I'll wager that few off you are worse off now then you were at the time as well.

You choose an odd example of the voter's ire.

The most unpopular law in the land among republican voters is Obamacare.  You may find Democrats that like it, but most Democrats like free stuff.

I agree that many voters of both parties do not like free trade.  Many Democrats seem to be voting for Trump because, unlike those in charge of both parties, they would rather have protectionism.

I agree that voters in both parties are sick and tired of bail outs.  But, of course, although a great many Republicans voted for it, both parties have been in favor of bail outs.  Obama orchestrated the bail out of the Automobile industry and the Automotive Unions.
