He's a smart guy despite what liberals say, he conned y'all, the same way Obama did blacks.

Again, if you're an adult and thought Trump could have followed through his campaign ideas please message me. I can also clear any debt you have and all you need to do is send me your credit card numbers.

lol Did y'all actually think he could bring back jobs and fix black communities too?

Poor white hicks that have been struggling actually thought a rich white man that was born with a silver spoon would have helped them. Lyndon B. Johnson had a quote, he said "Convince even the poorest white man he's better than a negro, and he won't realize when you're picking his pocket". And mr. trump who is smarter than any of his voters has/will be doing just that
The bolded. Clay County, Kentucky. The fools fell for bringing back coal jobs. Trump won't bring back even ONE. Furthermore, those poor folks had no health insurance. Under Obama coverage jumped 27 percent. One woman in particular got treatment for diabetes and even got cataract surgery. Yet the suckers voted 87 percent for Trump. P. T. Barnum called it as he saw it.

Maybe the WAPO article titled something like "What does Pol Pot, Stalin and Trump have in common?"

I actually tried to link to it but it's apparently been deleted although many rightwingers point to it.

That really only makes it noteworthy that they would pull the coverage. Pretty skeevy to try to hide what they actually wrote.

How is this different than Obama and Clinton?

Going to take those oil companies record profits?
Going to get out of Guantanamo?
Going to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan?

Any sane non-partisan realizes how much they are alike after all.

You idiots along with the birthers etc. can't recognize that Obama was Bush 3.0

You think that the media runs all the polls and manipulated them to help Hillary? Prove it.

They did? Maybe that's what the data said. Can you prove the polls were falsified, or not?

Nothing about any of the controversies surrounding it or Pay for Play allegations.
Yet I found these easily:

I just proved that false, so now what?

Why were you so naive? Donald Trump is a democrat. He and Hilary/Bill Clinton are FRIENDS!

Is this the one? Where Mr. Godwin discusses the origin of 'Godwin's Law' & its present day relevance?

Sure, call Trump a Nazi. Just make sure you know what you’re talking about.
The inventor of "Godwin's Law" about Hitler comparisons on the Internet says they're not always inappropriate.

Quote:
...To be clear: I don’t personally believe all rational discourse has ended when Nazis or the Holocaust are invoked. But I’m pleased that people still use Godwin’s Law to force one another to argue more thoughtfully. The best way to prevent future holocausts, I believe, is not to forbear from Holocaust comparisons; instead, it’s to make sure that those comparisons are meaningful and substantive. This is something a pleasantly surprising percentage of commentators in this political season have managed to do (like this piece on Trump by New America and CNN analyst Peter Bergen). And I’m pleased in any season to see more people revisiting the history books. ...

LOL about getting back in the freebie line...I think you guys need to update your playbook, specifically the insults section. So stale, so overused.

Trump has intentionally "scaled down" (not changed) his promises as an attempt to be viewed as more of a moderate in order to appeal to the majority of the people, however, it should be obvious that the majority of his picks are people on the extreme right who will impliment his beliefs, IMO!
