Trump Talk™

Wow. The absolute hate and overt racism in your post is not lost. Take a time out.

So lets look at a Gallup poll:







Looks like it'll be white men v. the world in this election. But that was already kinda obvious given the rhetoric route.

Trumps highest favorability are among married, religious, white men. Income factors in but Clinton is favored among the rich in ways that mirror Trump. Mainly because the two aren't too apart on issues there.

Of the categories that Trump is losing badly in, it would be very hard for him to lure over most of those groups. He could pull over some married women and the Catholic vote but his best bet would be to pull out more white male voters who might choose to sit out otherwise.

Might want to learn what satire is. They teach it in the college

I wouldn't recommend it as a major.... /stares at foney

hazing

can you show us on the doll where he touched you?

I dunno, I've found my degree to be very useful, but there is something to be said for professors in certain fields being out of touch with reality. Two personal examples:

1. My statistics professors (with the exception of one) told me that real businesses do not use Microsoft Excel to do data analysis. Yeah. Took me about a week in the real world to realize how out of touch with reality that was.

2. I had two professors in particular who would not shut up about a new philosophy in statistics, how it was changing the way the world views statistics and how the old ways were wrong. They forced the students to relearn how to calculate practically everything so that they were more in line with the "axioms of probability". I have yet to meet a non-statistician who has a clue what I'm talking about when I mention it, and I've never had a reason to use the "new" method even once (because if I did it would confuse the crap out of the people I make reports for).

College students are more swayed by rhetoric than any other group. A college degree more often than not leaves people poorly educated with a very narrow focus on useless trivia they forget within five years taught to them by close minded inexperienced adult students that stayed in college forever.

I want to see an Asian VP

The mayor and deputy mayor of a New Jersey city have ditched their Republican party affiliation, fed up with what they call racist comments by Donald Trump, the party's presumptive presidential nominee.

"It's crossing the line now. We're getting to the point where you can't be doing that," said Hackensack Mayor John Labrosse.

"This was not a decision we made lightly," said Deputy Mayor Kathleen Canestrino.

Labrosse and Canestrino ended their party affiliation Thursday and now consider themselves independents. They did not vote for Trump in the New Jersey primaries this past Tuesday.

Trump has been criticized for racially charged comments about Mexicans and Muslims, and drew backlash from many in the Republican party last week after implying an American-born judge presiding over a Trump University lawsuit may not be impartial because of his Mexican heritage.

With a roughly 40 percent Latino population in Hackensack, Labrosse and Canestrino said they owed it to their citizens to distance themselves from Trump.

"It was important for us to say to anyone who's listening that this is not anything we're fond or anything we'll tolerate in our city," said Canestrino.

Ben Rivero, a Republican and owner of Casual Habana Cafe on Hackensack's Main Street said he, too, is disillusioned by the election.

"I'm very happy to hear that the mayor stands behind the Latin community," he said, but added, "I'm not going to vote for Hillary Clinton, that's for sure."

Despite their break with the GOP, Labrosse and Canestrino also say Clinton doesn't have their vote just yet.

"I've voted for Democrats in the past and Republicans in the past, and I'm gonna vote for whoever I think is the best person at the time," said Labrosse.

The mayor and deputy mayor say the city council is a non-partisan voting body so their change won't have any effect on how it is governed.

They say Trump could win their votes for November if he changes his rhetoric.

Gary Locke, former governor of Washington state, is the best qualified Asian American politician. Period.

....
Mitt Romney is now a voice of reason. What the ***?!

"I don't want to see trickle-down racism" Romney said in an interview here in a suite overlooking the Wasatch Mountains, where he is hosting his yearly ideas conference. "I don't want to see a president of the United States saying things which change the character of the generations of Americans that are following. Presidents have an impact on the nature of our nation, and trickle-down racism, trickle-down bigotry, trickle-down misogyny, all these things are extraordinarily dangerous to the heart and character of America."

Romney again speculated about what might be in Trump's tax returns, which he has repeatedly declined to release, claiming that he's under audit. Asked what might be in there, Romney referred to a months-ago comment by Trump that he could not lose support even if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
"He's calculated that he could get support even if he shot someone, but if he released his taxes, he'd lose support," Romney said. "So there's something in those taxes that's even worse than shooting someone on Fifth Avenue."

"I don't think he got the scrutiny applied to him that is typically applied to a front-runner by the people running against him," he said, lamenting that they were "firing at each other." "Jeb Bush had a super PAC of over $100 million. And they focused their fire on Marco Rubio and others, as opposed to focusing it on the front-runner."
But if Romney had ran?
"Had I been in the race," he said, "I can assure you, I would have taken him on."

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump has a pattern of not paying or underpaying bills to everyone from waiters to painters and carpenters to a banking firm -- and was even facing foreclosure at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club, according to exhaustive new reports.
According to an investigation by USA Today published Thursday and a similar investigation by The Wall Street Journal published later in the day on Thursday, Trump's companies are facing hundreds of claims that Trump has stiffed people he contracted with for decades.

USA Today cited numerous examples, including a case as recent as last month in which a Miami-Dade County Circuit Court judge ordered Trump's company to pay a paint supply company more than $30,000 by the end of this month or face foreclosure of the Trump National Doral Miami golf club. According to The Miami Herald, The Paint Spot claimed Trump has owed them the money since 2014.

In another case, the Philadelphia cabinet business of Edward Friel Jr. was never paid more than $83,000 for work completed in 1984, the weight of which Friel's son said started the fall of the company.

USA Today analyzed at least 60 lawsuits and more than 200 mechanic's liens for the report, also finding 24 citations since 2005 of Trump's companies for violating the Fair Labor Standards Act "for failing to pay overtime or minimum wage."

The court records showed not only a pattern of not paying, but also of Trump companies tying up small businesses and individuals in lengthy legal dealings until they either settle, give up or sometimes go out of business altogether*.

You forgot to mention the overwhelming sense of entitlement that expects other people to pay for their useless degree. "Wah I spent all my time learning nothing of value in the real world, clearly it's someone else's fault!"

.... The small minority of college students who get liberal arts degrees and whine about underemployment and debt are just the ones who are the loudest.

I might listen to advice from Mitt Romney on a lot of things. Winning an election is not one of those things.
