Trump isn't playing that game, there is yno mea-culpa. Instead he is doubling down and his polling numbers have yet to take the hit the media are looking for. It's too early to tell, but what's the media and democrat party going to do if/when their standard playbook becomes UN-reliable? I mean what's the liberal media going to do when they throw a hissy fit and it turns out that the country isn't buying it anymore?

What are we all going to do when Trump gains the White House and treats it like he's treated every other business venture he's even been part of, and milks it for all it's worth to him personally and then leaves it a husk of what it was, ready to collapse and take down everyone else he abandonned to deal with it?

I dunno, I guess we survived Reagan and Bill Clinton, we'll survive him too.

But everyone is. you especially because you read the "liberal media" through your lol websites like hot air who eats the ***up and regurgitates it into complaints for their consumers... you're as much a part of the problem.

Personally I hope Trump gets the republican nomination because pretty much any one else can beat him in the national election.

Would be fun to see Sanders v. Trump and see which idealogical boat floats better in the waters of the electorate.

I'm grotesquely fascinated with that one, despite the fact I probably don't like the inevitable answer.

Nah.

I still don't take Trump seriously, but the American people are easily swayed by swagger. There's always a chance I'll not take him seriously all the way to the White House, and only then will people realize the mistake they've made.

Edit: For the record, I get exactly what Trump meant with the comment he made. His point wasn't to put anyone down, his point was just showy one-upsmanship. It's still a pretty damning statement, however, when trying to appeal to the demographic likely to vote for him.

Everyone who was all, "yeah, immigrants are criminals and rapists and awful, get rid of them!" are the same people who are likely to swill Budweiser and chant "USA! USA!" every time they see a man in uniform.

And those aren't the kind of people to show up to polls a year and a half before an election, so any numbers "not taking a hit" you see now are pretty moot.

Joe Biden makes un-PC comments/actions left and right, and there is no backlash. McCain insults trump, no backlash. Trump insults McCain? Now there's a backlash. Do you see any bias in that? Or do you just not see the liberal bias?

Because Trump is a buffoon.

You act like McCain has never received his share of criticism.

Remember when he was playing video poker during some important hearing or another? (I don't even remember which one it was, because I didn't think it was a big deal then either; I *** around all the time when I'm listening to important stuff. Doesn't mean I don't hear it, just means I need four different types of sensory input to understand what people are saying.)

So would you rather everyone think trump is a senile old man like everyone has painted Biden now so they don't take him seriously?

since when is McCain a liberal? Also, McCain has been hammered in the media before lol... I'm not sure which insults he's thrown around at trump but yeah why would there be backlash if it has to do with Trumps most recent comments?

There's definitely bias in a lot of media. When has anyone ever denied that? Your whole conspiracy theory is that the scary liberal media controls everything and only what they report on can be criticized as bias! I'm sure you get whatever you believe in from good ol rush or whatever other website you frequent and im sure they also either complain that something is unfair or criticize the actions of the people you feel should be criticized or whatever.

What you don't seem to see is that you're almost out there clamouring for it. one source puts it up there and youre reading that to *** about it and then you go to another source thats bitching about that source and feeding your need that way. I don't think there are that many media sources out there that don't come with some sort of bias.

Whatever un-PC criticism McCain has received, there hasn't been anywhere near an equivocal backlash.

You would call Trump a buffoon and in the same breath insist that you are un-biased.

Trump has more money than I'll ever even look at in person. He's clearly competent in his personal affairs. I just think he's shady as *** and is a sideshow with no intention of truly getting anywhere, and his money spent in this fashion is more for public exposure than true candidacy.

Please note the definition of "buffoon". I never said he was stupid.

It was pretty harsh, but I'd still vote for him over Hillary.

Maybe people are just pissed because this has taken the spotlight over the baby organ factory of planned parenthood, or the seeming "random" and "mysterious" workplace violence by someone with an Arabic name that may or may not have been a radical Muslim.

Who had stolen it from Xerox. Big deal, that's how the tech industry operates. Gates and Microsoft won, that's all.

Apple's business practices were just as bad, and their technical direction would have been vastly worse for consumers. The vitriol Gates gets is insane, given that Microsoft winning (and their blase attitude towards Windows home piracy for a decade) are a huge factor in what made PCs cheap.

Is this the M$ stole the GUI from crapple argument again?

This one still makes me have a chuckle.

I mean if anyone needs an example of why patent law is a sad joke:

Round corners.

I'll add that hardware hackers around the time also played a huge role. That's my beef with Gates, going after those persons.
