He's the front runner. The front runner always gets attacked. See Hillary Clinton for a textbook example of this truism. If you think Trump is getting attacked more viciously or frequently than Clinton has been for the last few years you are either myopic or simply haven't been paying attention. As the old adage goes, "politics ain't beanbag."
She's not getting attacked by prominent members of her own Democratic party.
She's not getting attacked by prominent members of her own Democratic party.
True. But then, she wasn't a registered Republican a mere six years ago, so the Democrats have no reason to believe she's merely an opportunist who up until recently was part of the opposition party. Trump, on the other hand, was a registered Democrat until 2009. You can understand why true conservatives consider him a fraud and don't want him leading the GOP.
I don't see any of the other candidates attacked with such viciousness by the media and talking heads as Trump has been.
trump is constantly on the media, getting far more coverage than any other candidate. the media covers his effing rallies when they don't bother to cover other candidate's rallies. that is not attacking or viciousness, he's getting a free pass over and over again. talking about his character and policy offerings isn't attacking or viciousness. If you want viciousness, look at trumps overnight tweets when he doesn't like what is said about him. He is a petty, petty manchild, and his spite and vindictiveness far exceeds the bounds of decency and reality.
No debate partner can show bias or endorse any candidate.
But, what about FOX? They should have been kicked out a long time ago, since y'all are soooo onto them vilifying trump at every turn. They shouldn't have been allowed to host, much less be moderators at any of the debates. Right?
Why is it that any time anyone points out something they feel is negative about trump, that is it always an "unfair attack" according to his supporters? Perhaps he is being 'attacked' because the majority of republicans don't actually support him, and wish he weren't the 'front-runner'. Perhaps it is indeed 'fair' on their part to discuss things that are considered by 'some' to be negative about him as the possible nominee.
Indeed, is it 'fair' to call people morons, basically because you don't like what they say? How about you explain why you believe these people are morons (i.e. wrong), and actually provide a counterpoint to their arguments. Nope, easier to cry 'unfair, unfair'.
And, palin crying unfair... is how she has always explains anything that happens that she doesn't like. It is unfair that she didn't get elected VP and track is a drunken bully and bristol has serial illegitimate babies. She is back on the stage, now saying everything that is wrong with her family is Obama's fault and that he deliberately kept her from getting elected. Yeah, unfair alright, but not the way she thinks.
I'll be glad when some actual votes come in so that all this 'polls' nonsense can end.
I'm not a Trump supporter and was merely pointing out his own words - that he would stay with the Republican party as long as he was treated 'fairly'. Since the party is attempting to 'take him down' (not that I blame them) - then I have to wonder why he stays with that party.
It's not that I think the National Review is 'unfair' but I think their attempt failed. I give them a D for effort but it will only serve as fodder for Trump to point out how he is 'anti-establishment' and so on and so forth.
Yes, I do think most of the contributors to the National Review (like Glen Beck) are utter morons even though I may agree with them on the Trump issue. They are ultra-conservative and I certainly disagree with the vast majority of their views. I have no love for the National Review and never will.
After being called everything from a "Witless Ape" to a "Bloviating Ignoramus", Trump has every right to stand up for himself. If we are going to be talking about exceeding the bounds of decency, try googling some of the rotten things written and said about Trump, then get back to me about his "petty" tweets.
And "effing" rallies? It galls you that the candidate you support doesn't get a portion of the attention he commands, doesn't it?
the democrat party will do the same thing when Bernie starts beating Hillary.....the establishment of the party will come out and try to destroy Bernie and how of a socialist and extremist he is.
its just a matter of time.
1. I think there is a bit of truth in what you write.
2. It's the Democratic Party ... not the "Democrat Party." Democrats are members of the Democratic Party. Jews are members of the Jewish Religion ... not "The Jew Religion." Do you realize how prejudiced and ignorant that makes you sound? No better than those ignoramuses who say "Repugnant Party" or "Rethuglican."
3. The Elites in the Democratic establishment will come out against Sanders but they will do it in a "nicer" or "more gentle" way. They will argue he's a great guy with some good ideas, but will have a tougher time getting elected. They are beginning to say he is much more establishment and an "insider" he portrays himself to be. They will say even if the Democrats re-take the Senate, the House of Representatives will still have a GOP majority and Sanders cannot sway them the way Hillary can.
Trump is against that, too. He wants to bring those jobs back here.
How many jobs would require that combination of skills? Not many.
The "no qualified Americans" argument is b.s.
I doubt there are that many jobs that require this.
Apple builds all of its products in China. They could be built here in this country.
You're turning a relatively insignificant thing into a giant thing. I'm not buying it.
There are a lot of jobs like this. All those people who negotiate with foreign factories for major companies? They look for people who speak the native languages plus English.
Where I live, Armenian is important. Here's 100+ jobs looking for Armenian/English or similar: Bilingual Armenian Jobs, Employment | Indeed.com (note that a lot of these are entry level jobs like retail sales and receptionists).
A lot of these jobs never show up in English language pubications or on the internet because they are looking for people who speak foreign languages fluently.
Until we tell them if they want to do business in the USA, they must communicate with port workers in English. They will change overnight.
Every airline that flies into USA airspace must communicate using English. Your "theory" has no basis in fact.
Yeah, this works now -- but when the Chinese take over, are you going to learn Mandarin?
