    Islam isn't a race, so it isn't racist. If he said ban all blacks, then that would be racist.

    Is it Racist ?

    The post that VinLieger quoted: "Exactly its the butt hurt liberals trying to paint the donald as anti-islam and racist. The same people who made hideous lies that he got rid of dr martin luther kings statue from the oval office"

    and VinLieger's response: "He talked about banning all Muslims in his campaign, your saying thats not anti-muslim?"


    I see you've ran away from the last one, but you really are nothing if not predictable. That's intentionally misinterpreting/pretending not to to understand out of the way, so what's next up - semantics games, straw men, non sequiturs, or just diverting?

    Can you read?

    Ok so that being established. Wanting to put checks and balances in for a Religious and political ideology in the states that was mandated for by the people. Where are we going with this ?

    Do you tend to judge by the group?

    Are we going to find the ball anytime soon ?

    No, I wasn't fond of one side receiving money from Saudi but I wasn't fond of the other side receiving it also. You on the other hand, are remarkably more quiet on Trump receiving millions from Saudi Arabia (including the -eight- business he set up there along the campaign trail), as well as basically being bailed out directly from the House of Saud itself previously despite dozens of posts giving out wildly about his opponent doing it. You have higher standards for one than is the case the other, which there is a word for.

    You post no links to claims you make like how the Saudi government bankroll the Trump businesses. They may well do, and it should be all fully disclosed if it is the case, but sometimes your judgment is not always right and you post things including things that are not fact as if it is a done deal and all is correct.

    Sure why did it matter that he set up 8 businesses there during the campaign you said:

    On one hand, it's not too relevant a state in this election as they only have 6 college votes and the race is already over, but on the other, it will be interesting to see how much the Clinton campaign manages to "run up the score" on Trump for Nov 8th.

    I as the person you always dismiss:

    I think Trump will win this barring any more scandal.

    I can see him winning Florida, North Carolina, Ohio, Nevada, Utah and Arizona.
    Then flip somewhere like New Hampshire which would give a tie, or somewhere like Colorado or as recent activity has shown with both the Clinton and Trump camps campaigning in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan, and with Clinton having started TV ads there again, they are also back in play.
    States the Clintons thought they had wrapped up are showing trends to Trump, the thing is will the momentum be halted or will it continue.

    Kelly Ayotte looks like winning the senate seat in New Hampshire and while she doesn't like either Trump or Clinton, I think she could drag Trump to a win New Hampshire.
    That would put Trump and Clinton at 269 each, if Trump wins Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Nevada,think Trump wins Arizona relatively easily in the end.

    The signs are not good for Clinton, and election day cannot come soon enough for her.

    What is really going to be interesting about tonight is FOX. On one hand, they are FOX, on the other this is a presidential debate and not am hour with Hannity or O'Reilly. But then in the other hand, it is a Clinton... and this is FOX! But the on the other, Trump has completely burned bridges with them which cost cost him what may have (only saying MAY HAVE...) been an incredibly biased debate which has never been seen before in the US despite the Trumpeteers claims to the contrary over the last two.

    As for the debate itself, meh. It won't make much difference. This election has been finished for weeks.

    The thing is Billy you nail your colours to a mast, and spent the election campaign saying the election was over, so convinced you were that Trump would not win.
    Should I take your word as given, if you just say stuff and with no links to back it up?
    I know you will not have an issue with this request as you did say to another poster:
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=101575585&postcount=6130
    I take it you have reputable sources to show this as fact, and that you are not trying to spread misinformation and be deliberately misleading in your posts, or trying to pass your own opinion as fact?


    I think I called the election perfectly days before the election, and I did put some money on Trump based on the trends I was seeing.
    Can you please post reputable sources to what I am suppose to reply to.

    Non sequitur it is, in a follow up to intentionally misinterpreting! Let's see which one comes next...

    The thread has been reduced to just pointless bickering recently. I'm closing this for the moment. We'll have to review it and decide what to do with it because the current situation has to change.

    Meanwhile, I suggest everyone cool off a bit. Go on, it's a nice enough day. Get some fresh air.

    Edit: There's also a Donald Trump thread and several Trump-related threads in the Politics Café.

    It's been decided that this thread won't be re-opened. This is the third Donald Trump thread that ended up closed in the past three months because posters can't behave. We are not going to continue this for the term of his presidency.

    As I mentioned above, there's a Donald Trump thread and several Trump-related threads in the Politics Café where you can discuss Trump to your heart's content. Make sure to read their charter first and I'd suggest that you be a lot more civil there than what this thread was reduced to this week.
