Tom Hunter – you could be right and the size of the crowds makes no difference? On the other hand Trump has the enthusiasm. He has a passionate base who will definitely come out and vote for him. His crowds remind me of Obama in 2008.

For the life of me I cannot remember big crowds for Romney? One of his problems was that he is a Mormon and evangelicals who are a big part of the Republican base couldn’t get excited about voting for for someone who is not even a Christian.

Trump however does excite the evangelical base, he’s got the working class vote, he’s got the men voting for him, he’s got white people voting for him.

I will be intrigued to see where the get out the vote databases can really motivate people for such an unlikable candidate as Hillary Clinton. Someone who lacks charisma and appears to be hectoring and scolding and angry. She is a bit like the grumpy old aunt that you used to try and avoid at family get-togethers.

It’s a different campaign and so I freely admit that it is unpredictable. But Trump doesn’t need much to regain momentum. Another terrorist attack, more bad economy numbers, high unemployment continuing, all of those things work in his favour.

What makes you think Trump is even a Christian, let alone someone who evangelicals would be happy with?

Funny how when a whitey ‘s arrested ( in Oz) we’re treated to a headline saying “terror” ,a photo of the guy , his alleged connections with “extremists”, but when Ali Akbar Mohammed chops off heads, stabs old wimmin or shoots up a homo bar , it’s mental illness.

Tuberculosis seems to be the disease many refugees suffer from. I dont mind helping refugees with health issues but I would have thought screening would have discovered these things. Does raise the question how good the vetting process is.
$17 million is a lot of health issues. Iirc we dont let legal immigrants with HIV/Aids, Parkinsons, Cystic Fibrosis etc into NZ?

The Frogs are already paying a high price:
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-08-07/french-tourism-slumps-as-terror-attacks-spook-foreign-travelers

Terrorist attacks are taking their toll on France’s tourism industry, with Paris bearing the brunt of a drop in visits by holidaymakers from outside Europe.

Overnight stays fell about 10% on average this year through July, with high-spending travelers from the U.S., Asia and the Persian Gulf states reacting strongly to the attacks, French Secretary of State for Tourism Matthias Fekl said in an interview.

Rich Prick, I’m fairly certain that if those refugees had been Christian or even Yazidi the 17 million would hardly raise an eyebrow or murmur from you and others here !

Scott , when did Trump have his Damascus Rd born again conversion ?

The US unemployment rate stands at 4.9 % cramping favourable with Germany ( 4.7 % ) and the UK ,

When Trump met with the Mormons he told them he didn’t believe what they believed but that he would protect their right to believe what they believed.
They seemed happy with that.

‘The US unemployment rate stands at 4.9 % ‘

That figure doesn’t include those who have given up looking for work (yet are still unemployed). If you include that group its over 9.6%

The sheer number of these articles might seems tedious, but it is amazing to witness the number of Republicans of gravitas coming out publicly against the GOP’s nominee. It’s unprecedented in modern US politics for a major party nominee to attract such public opposition from his own party.

Mark Lavin, who was Ronald Reagan’s White House Political Director from 1987 to 1989, shared his views on Trump –

“Trump falls short in terms of the character and behavior needed to perform as president. This defect is crippling and ensures he would fail in office. Trump is a bigot, a bully, and devoid of grace or magnanimity. His thin-skinned belligerence toward every challenge, rebuke, or criticism would promise the nation a series of a high-voltage quarrels. His casual dishonesty, his policy laziness, and his lack of self-awareness would mean four years of a careening pin-ball journey that would ricochet from missteps to crisis to misunderstandings to clarifications to retractions.

…

Less poignant is a part of the Trump story that ought to have particular resonance with Republicans: his four business bankruptcies, more than a trivial matter for a party that prides itself on thrift, sound money, and prudential management.
The bankruptcies reflect a man who either lacks reasonable business judgment or reasonable business ethics. By themselves, four bankruptcies are pretty bad. But four bankruptcies and a private jet is deplorable. How can everyone lose money in the collapse of a project yet Trump flies away again and again?”

Trump is not particularly popular with Mormons. As a religious minority, many of them are wary of his attacks on other faiths. Trump did very badly in the Utah primary, and a lack of Mormon support might be very telling in Nevada.

Good news, Hillary says there is no need for the public to read about those DNC leaks. They are conducting an internal investigation of their own and will report all the findings. Trust Hillary, as VP pick Kaine says, she’s for OPEN TRANSPARENCY. Be sure that the Clinton campaign is working overtime with the MSM to make sure that evidence of their collusion will never leak again!!

One problem the Democrats have is that Trump has given them so much to work with they struggle to know what targets to hit.
James Fallows has been preparing a Trump Time capsule on the Atlantic which is intended to be a summary of things Voters could have known about Trump in 2016 . He is up to item 71 now.
http://www.theatlantic.com/notes/2016/08/trump-time-capsule-71-someones-lying-about-the-gop-platform-on-ukraine/494789/

The Dems seem to be concentrating on Variations of the ” What is wrong with Donald Trump” theme ( ie he has a personality disorder) and the ” he is an agent of the Russian Federation theme” as being the most powerful and simplest to encapsulate in a 30 second ad. They could also use any of the other 69 but it gets a bit confusing.

Fallows could also do a Clinton Time capsule but it would be shorter , not many of the items would really stand up to scrutiny and he probably doesn’t want to get in the way of his own argument. The Clinton items might consist of

The emails. ( This is a biggie)
Benghazi ( Nothing in the substance of this but some confusion about what she said to the families)
Clinton Foundation and influence peddling ( some bad looks but nothing to show anyone in the family benefitted to any great extent and plenty to show the foundation has done some pretty good stuff and is well run )
Speech fees ( does seem to be a lot of money and reluctance to release transcripts indicates she must have said some stuff that conflicts with current positions on Trade and Wall street . However the info on this came from her Tax returns so not good ground for Trump)
Landing under sniper fire.( does seem to be some hyperbole there )
Trying to influence some the of Women who complained about Bill ( might be something there but I think it would be out in public by now if there was anything substantial after all these years)
Her state of health. ( I thought she was clearing her throat all the way through her acceptance speech but I have not heard anyone comment on that so I must have been hearing something else )

Considering Dukakis was scuppered by a silly picture in a tank the Clinton list might seem disqualifying but she is still in Kindergarten compared with Trumps problems.

Presumably because he is ABC – anyone but Clinton.

Apparently Scott is counting on the evangelical right has labelling her most likely to be the anti-Christ since Obama’s term is nearly at an end and he hasn’t yet signed the 7 year Middle Eastern Peace Treaty. Mind you, if you a Dispensationalist, doesn’t that mean you should actually vote for Hillary to speed up the Rapture, in much the same way as Israel must never yield an inch of the ~~occupied~~ conquered West Bank so it inspires the ~~USSR~~ ~~Saddam Hussein~~ Chinese to invade as a precursor to Armageddon?

Only if you think that they’re all lying whereas she’s telling the truth. Moreover, what she told them meshed perfectly with the bullshit the Obama administration was putting out at the time, about it being protests over a YouTube video. She was “on message”, only this time it involved looking the parent of a dead child in the eye rather than a TV camera.

Landing under sniper fire. ( does seem to be some hyperbole there )

Oh come on. “Some” hyperbole? No – call it for what it is – more lies. It’s ultimately a big nothing – except for what it shows of her character.

And what I don’t see on that list is her decisions, votes and recommendations with regard to the Iraq War and Libya?

But such things only counted in 2008 with Democrats. Now it’s memory hole time.

Why is Trump popular with the evangelicals? This from the Atlantic–

“The answer seems to be the growing anti-establishment sentiments held by many evangelical Christians. (After all, the Tea Party movement draws “disproportionate support” from their ranks.) Not only are conservative Christians solidly Republican, they are also fierce traditionalists who feel that their values are increasingly under assault by modern society.

They like a candidate who will stand up to “the media”—whether Jorge Ramos or Megyn Kelly—because they feel reporters don’t give them a fair shake either. They are drawn to a candidate who hails from outside the Beltway—even if his hometown is the elitist island of Manhattan—because they think the Washington establishment has abandoned them. And they appreciate someone who makes no apology for using politically incorrect rhetoric—even if this includes a bit of profanity or misogyny—because they believe society is increasingly intolerant of many of their sentiments, too.”

Why is Trump popular with this evangelical? Let me count the ways –
– he is going to bomb the hell out of Isis. It’s called defending Western civilisation and I approve that message.
– He promises to support Christians persecuted in the Middle East. That makes a change for me because quite frankly Obama and Hillary don’t give two straws about the Christians literally being crucified in Syria and Iraq.
– He will nominate conservative leaning Supreme Court justices. Liberals have been running rampant by using the Supreme Court to overturn the legislature and impose a liberal agenda. This is a big issue for evangelicals.
– He will get the US economy moving again which would be good for all of us.
– He is for his own country and seeing that America is the leader of the free world he is for Western civilisation of which we are a part

Hillary on the other hand is for abortion at any stage and at any time, she will nominate crazy liberal justices to the Supreme Court, America’s decline will continue, Isis will continue under her watch, she promises to import thousands more Muslim refugees from the Middle East and she doesn’t even know what Western civilisation is, let alone summon the will to defend it.

I know that Donald Trump is brash and arrogant and some would say a son of a bitch – but he’s our son of a bitch!

scott,

you missed this part from the Atlantic article ,,

“..Trump knows this and has ramped up his religious rhetoric on the campaign trail. But he has had a difficult time convincing anyone that he is within gunshot of orthodoxy. On the matter of asking forgiveness for sins—hardly an obscure Christian doctrine—Trump says he’s never done it. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right,” he said recently. “I don’t bring God into that picture.” Trump declared that his favorite book was the Bible, but when asked to name his favorite Bible verse, The Donald declined. And he spoke flippantly of the cornerstone Christian sacrament of communion, saying he “feels cleansed” when “I drink my little wine … and have my little cracker.

And what of Trump’s religious practices? He says that he is a faithful Presbyterian and member of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan, but after this announcement, the congregation released a statement saying he is not an active member. And, of course, Trump’s three marriages are painfully out of step with Christian restrictions against divorce…. “

He’s going to bomb the hell out of ISIS ? With whose cooperation ? Use tactical Nuclear weapons ?

The 6,000 plus air sorties plus training Iraqi troops etc is not caring about the Christians in the Middle East ,

http://www.defensenews.com/story/defense/air-space/2016/05/02/bombing-isis-cmdr-shares-lessons-6-months-airstrikes/83617858/

Since when have liberals under GWB and under ]Obama have been running the Supreme Court ?

Just how will he get the economy moving ? 45% tariffs and trade wars ?

“You can’t just pretend it’s just about relief,” Clark said of meeting the needs of refugees and IDPs and people living in other difficult situations. “Relief is important in the first instance, but you need to move people to self-reliance very, very quickly.’

Why is Clark so committed to the resilience agenda? “Because I’ve seen for myself how people feel completely stuck in circumstances beyond their control, dependent on others for accommodation, for food, for basic needs,” she replied. “And I know that with the resilience approach, and actually investing in the livelihoods and basic services, you can support people to have dignity and independence even when the world has gone mad around them. And that’s why I really like so much the work we’ve been doing in Syria and in Yemen and in the neighbourhood of Syria.”

According to Clark, industrious Syrian people “want the chance to work” and to earn a living in the Middle East. “If we can support that, then when peace comes, people will be ready to roll. So that’s my driving motivation.”

This sounds just like National’s approach to welfare. Perhaps she should have a chat with Andrew.

“I’m not joking, the thing’s eyes popped out of its head, then he cuts his throat.

I’ll laugh one day when I see a cartoon depicting Mr and Mrs Daesh sitting in their war-tent reading a copy of the Iraqi Herald. The caption would be:

Who in Allah’s name would read such liberal progressive crap?

Same juice as scottshris Sam, only he takes a triple shot. Example “Shame you survived your birth you worthless piece of shit” whereas I stick to a single. He’s just angry because he has to sit down to take a pee.

So the other day I went to the supermarket, and I was there for literally 5 minutes. When I came out there was a motorcycle cop writing a parking ticket. So I went up to him and said, “Come on, buddy, how about giving a guy a break?”
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. So I called him a pencil-necked Nazi lover. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for worn tires!
My wife then piped up how unreasonable he was being. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket!
This went on for about 15 minutes, until he sneered at us and walked off leaving several expensive tickets.

Just then our bus arrived and we made our way home. I always like to keep an eye out for vehicles with green party stickers, it just makes the day more enjoyable.

“It’s a boy!” he shouted, tears rolling down his face. “I don’t believe it. A boy!”

It was at that moment starboard decided that he’d never visit Thailand again.

One night in Bangkok and the world’s your oyster
The bars are temples but the pearls ain’t free
You’ll find a god in every golden cloister
And if you’re lucky then the god’s a she
I can feel an angel sliding up to me

Keep us up to speed with how you get on starboard. 🙂

Could this be why some baby boomers think like they do? It’s actually quite entertaining from most perspectives so have a look:

Just reading an article about Oliver Cromwell’s sense of humour. I had always thought him to be a rather grim figure: “The Lord made them as stubble to our swords”, etc. But it seems he was quite a larrikin, indulging in food fights and other practical jokes, even flicking ink at one of his friends when they were supposed to be signing the King’s death warrant.

Grrr, what is it with TV shows nowadays? There’s absolutely nothing worth watching on TV any more. I can’t remember the last time I actually watched a programme on free-to-air TV. It’s either talent shows like The Voice, Idol, or Britain’s Got Talent, inane sitcoms from the U.S that aren’t funny, crime shows that are basically the same show with slightly different characters (Homicide, NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds) or B-grade movies. I just looked ahead at the next week and there’s still nothing worth watching.

Starboard: I said “a victim of silly cultural beliefs”. Such as, you’re not a “real” woman unless you start pushing out babies at 15 and don’t stop until you’ve produced at least 10. Typical of sexist cultures, whose kids feature predominantly in road death stats because they have too many kids to take care of adequately.
But then I’m sure you vote for the Nats who support a sexist party that encourages such stupid behaviour.

I have just seen your 12:33pm comment

I still think your quibbling about health costs etc of refugees

Once again you misrepresent what I wrote.

It was you that was disputing the seriousness of the diseases that the refugees might be afflicted with. You had used the word “alleged”.
I wrote that I applauded the actions of the National Gvt in providing the necessary money for health services to the refugees.
See my 9:52am post

I was not the one quibbling about the $17m.

Just remember my children are the grandchildren of untermensch refugees that arrived in NZ in 1951.

Don’t you ever try to cast me as someone opposed to our refugee programme.

Well I doubt if any other country is spending like that on refugees, if that is what it takes to do it properly, then others are screwed. However, if we have made that commitment and it isn’t ‘appreciated’, then that will be very… sad indeed.
