2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[Salodin]

Which is a problem when said businessman works for a man who, by the things he's said, appears to be in a very comfy relationship with one of our biggest rivals.

[Fiye]

If Mr. Trump is willing to hire someone to head his campaign that has a comfy relationship with Russia, what's to stop him from placing a person like that in a part of his cabinet.

[TsingTao]

He would never do that, believe me. This is just Hillary's liberal media trying to screw over an honest businessman. I've heard people say she's got a time machine that she uses to plant bogus evidence for her liberal media pals to find year later. I can't say who, but there's a lot of people saying this.

So what you're saying is that Manafort is also a businessman.

A businessman whose clients for the past 30+ years have been one authoritarian/dictator/strongman/cronie after another.

A man whose business skills include 'infecting the propaganda', rigging elections, bribing elected and appointed govt officials, inciting violence and in at least one case (so far) driving a country into a civil war.

[Ragnus]

I think you guys missed an important one with Trump vs. Clinton.

Trump had to be told three times in one hour why we couldn't just nuke sovereign nations we don't like.

Read a couple of different articles on CNN. One, it appears to be no sane method to opt out of recurring donations to Trump's campaign. You pretty much have to call your credit card company and inform them that any attempted charges are fraudulent and to block them. Also, to be an official brownshirt to enforce voting laws and ensure Hillary voters don't vote 5 times each, you have to donate to his campaign to get an official shirt.

So why isn't he working for Hillary?

Probably because Hillary has no ambition to be or do any of those things, AND she would probably attempt to make Manafort's business model illegal in the US?

Also that doesn't do shit. I believe in most states you have to register to be an election observer. If you just show up and basically do anything in a non-official capacity you can get arrested.

Not like it hasn't stopped Trump supporters from using intimidation tactics so far. I have this horrible feeling that no matter who gets elected, we are going to have an assassination attempt on the president this coming cycle.

[archibaldcrane]

If they didn't even make a credible attempt on Obama, I'm not going to wager on Hilldog getting taken out.

[kisada]

people straight up lost their shit on a black dude being voted into office. if he didn't go down then i also wouldn't bet on people gunning after hillary.

[Cail]

I wouldn't put it past someone. People are getting crazier by the day...

Ive worked in my county during the previous election and I was told by one of my coworkers that they go through rigorous training on what to do. But basically, all they do is stand around in the ballot room and stare at the employees processing the ballots, i'm told they aren't allowed to interfere with the process but notify the supervisor if there is anything suspicious (which ive personally never seen). Also, there was like a maximum of 1-2 observers per party there so i don't really see Trump's calling for more doing anything at all except for maybe trying to get people to try to do some electioneering for him on a small scale around the ballot boxes (which in my county you have to be at least 25ft away from the ballot box to do any electioneering otherwise it's very illegal, and we had police deployed there on election night to make sure it was enforced).

Not an expert on the election or anything, just some experience working in the ballot processing center and at some ballot boxes.

So why isn't he working for Hillary?

she gets enough monies from saudi arabia

I'm seeing a lot of tweets about Giuliani speaking for Trump and saying "Under those 8 yrs before Obama came along we didn't have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the US"

Clip.

Wow.

If only... he even mentions Ground Zero 30 seconds before too. He also referred to Mike Pence as "your state's governor" even though they're in Ohio right now.

Ahh, well, his parody account had the same quote

In other Giuliani news, he defends Trump's insensitive remarks because Trump is not a politician.
