    He says he is going to bomb countries and take their oil... he thinks he might break the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty and use nuclear weapons in country that hasn't attacked us and doesn't have nuclear weapons... he is for completely removing the 1st Amendment by removing the Freedom of the Press and the Freedom of Religion...
    Campaigning on committing War Crimes... he's ideas on trade will surely decimate the economy and he thinks he can negotiate the US debt like one of his failed businesses (you can't).

    You're stupid, you probably not old enough to remember what it was like under Bush/Cheney... (which was probably only 1/10th as problematic as a Trump Presidency would be), you are spoiled from living in America under Obama.

    US Soldiers couldn't get away with smuggling Hustler magazine and Skyy Vodka in and out of Iraq... if they came across large sum of cash how would they get it out?

    Why didn't any legit news organization report the Operation: Hand Out Baskets of Cash... when they were reporting about how the Iraq War was an epic failure every night?


    It's a stupid conspiracy theory.

    Yeah... he is way worse.

    But.. he is the same in a lot of a ways.

    Both born into multimillionaire families with famous names.

    Both born on third base and dumb enough to think they hit a triple.

    Both use demagoguery and give people stupid nicknames.


    Both were businessmen due to being born in powerful positions with mixed results.


    Both have a low IQ and believe they have a high IQ.






    All that being said... Bush43 was the worst President in my lifetime... maybe ever... I would still vote for him over Trump.

    Bitcoin started being a thing in 2009...

    I could easily picture soldiers taking advantage of services like that and employing Tor for private networks

    Even though Irak is a big shithole Bagdad is still a reasonable place considering the conditions of the territory and they have Internet access

    I'm pretty sure US soldiers are familiar with those kind of tools

    I'm not saying that he's necessarily right but considering the atrocities that some of the American military have done there I don't see how it can be totally impossible

    I definitely don't believe the US Army handed out baskets of cash and then army grunts stole some and somehow manage to convert it into an online currency that 99.5% of the world's population wasn't aware of and kept it a secret for almost a decade.

    I mean, it's not neccesarily a secret, I've seen tons of people throwing relatively vage claims like that one without actually breaking down the process

    Then we have the conversation of what possible tools might the American military have access of that public citizens don't and how they can use them for their own benefits

    Trump speeches are absolutely hilarious btw, for either good or bad

    I admire much more his stance against demagogic left media and political tone than what he actually has to say (which happens to be hit or miss and when it's miss it reminds me again that America is just trying to find the lesser of two evils)

    What do you think of this article?

    EDIT: I meant this article, my bad

    I'm kinda busy now... but if he is saying that the nominee that does better against the competition in their primary wins the general... he must be forgetting how McCain blew out the Republican field in 2008 and how Obama barely beat Hillary in the popular vote.

    The formula itself might be flawed but its prediction score has been nearly perfect

    Do you believe this campaign in particular will be an exception?

    He spends almost nothing in marketing himself yet he's arguably a more popular candidate than Clinton

    The people who hope Trump wins make these kind of predictions... they don't take in to account that Trump self destructs daily and offends another demographic every week.

    How can you imply that this guy in particular is being biased when he has correctly predicted the victory of the democrat candidates?

    His method is less accurate than whether or not the Washington Redskins win their football game the Sunday before the election.

    I haven't read it besides him saying that the Candidate that does best against his primary opponents wins... which is completely wrong from what happened from the last Presidential competition without an incumbent... I also don't put any credence to these prediction methods.

    I would have a hard time believing Trump could win his US Congressional district to get into the House... so, I'll continue believing it's all but impossible for him to be elected President.


    Vegas odds makers have him at 20% right now. I trust them more than any proffesor.
