Trump approval ratings thread 1.1

[Santander]

When I went there I saw so many Asians. Everyone always talks about Hispanics, or me it was Asians everywhere. That got me thinking, were they foreigners on vacation to Santa Monica, or were they California residents?

You can spot a foreign tourist by looking at them.

I agree.

Does this go into the Deplorapile?

Naso's entire posting history belongs in the deplorable or bad post threads

And yours belong in the irony thread.

TD,

Don't forget that when he refers to "the majority," he means the majority of White, heterosexual, Christians who don't live on the coasts or in big cities. According to him, that's America. Everything and everyone else is foreign and not to be taken into consideration.

That is America.

[Santander]

Why do people bully Naso?

[Santander]

Or we could just take this nonsensical debate out of this thread and let ReaganFan live his miserable life the way he wants. If he wants to be openly racist, let him. He's certainly not going to get anywhere in life with those out in the open views

Yes, I never understood why people get so outraged when they perceive someone is being "racist". Who cares?

[Santander]

These days, the big cities are generally the home of productive people who are paying for the rest of the country.

Makers and Takers right?

[Santander]

That's actually a great point. Ford almost winning in 1876 is what gave me pause, but then again, Ford was a lot more likeable and popular on a personal level than Pence ever is/was.

Yeah, that was wild how Rutherford B. Hayes won against Samuel J. Ford.

Lol FIFY. Though Hayes was a fluke too.

In the same way that Sergei Mavrodi was a fluke.

[Santander]

At this point, even I disapprove.

At this point, even I disapprove.

May I ask why?

Ultimately, it is for the same reason I turned on Obama after Orlando - the sheer insensitivity of his response was enough to push me over the edge and accept the tides that had been turning in my head for a while now. I still believe he has been treated unfairly by the media, and I am willing to be supportive of him where I agree, but I don't feel any need to actively defend someone who obviously doesn't care about me, or anyone but himself, for that matter.

Could you elaborate on what it was about Obama's response to Orlando that you thought was insensitive? I honestly don't remember what his reaction was, but just looking up his statement, it wasn't anything dramatically different from what you'd expect under the circumstances - calling it an act of terror, deploying federal agencies to work with local ones - is it just that it was a level political response rather than an emotional appeal?

He managed to bring Sandy Hook and other shootings into a statement which was supposed to be a response to an Islamic terrorist attack, and focused his speech on gun control, not terrorism. He later said the debate over his refusal to say "radical Islam" was a distraction. It may not seem that bad in retrospect, but remember how hot the political temperature was at that time last year.

[Santander]

Lmao, "other"

They might as well just go all the way and call it "ungood".

[Santander]

There's also the issue of fraud in the census. The 2000 census deliberately undercounted Democratic-leaning demographics and places.

That damn Republican Bill Clinton...

You can't simultaneously call a pollster "trash" and then say their poll is "worth noting" in the same sentence.

Sure you can! They mean the same thing!

...sorry, I know that was a typo but I could not resist.

Good catch.
