Reasons I cannot vote for Trump

[FlyerInHi]

I will be turning on cnn later today.

At this point, it doesn’t matter what Trump says. He just needs to sound badass and not wimpy and his supporters will turn out.

BG, I agree on the sleep point. Unfortunately for me, I need a lot of sleep (I cannot function on 5 or 6 hours), so I try to make up any sleep deficit as soon as I can.

[/quote]Well, I noticed how red and puffy his eyes were over the weekend and then last night I read reports (not sure how accurate they were) that Trump had been getting only 1.5 to 3 hrs of sleep per night while on the campaign trail. That’s hard to understand for me cuz he has a luxurious bdrm on his plane and can just take off his jacket and rest between gigs.

I suspect he’s been having too many long up-to-the-minute powows with his peeps (even regularly at 2 am) regarding what the airwaves have been saying about his campaign in the last 24 hours. He would do well to just ignore all this crap and plow on and let his peeps stategize over that sh!t. That’s what they earn the “big bucks” for so let them do their jobs.

Trump should devote no more than 10-15 minutes to powows (one before starting the day and one after ending the day) getting just the “bullet points” which took place over the airwaves in the last day (which he may be called upon by the MSM to respond to) and hear his peeps’ stategy on how they feel he should respond, even though he may have his own opinion and is typically pretty quick on the draw.

It’s way too soon in the election cycle for Trump to be suddenly hospitalized for “exhaustion” … or worse. The party is just getting started and this is one of the most interesting general election seasons most of us old boomers have witnessed in our lifetimes :=0

Sometimes, it’s hard to sleep when you’re thinking, developing tactics and strategies.

For me, I find that’s it’s better to avoid screens (TV, computer, smart device) 1 hour prior to sleep. It’s hard to do, because as you’re thinking, you want to look up things. I’ve gotten to a point where it’s hard to think without a smart device.

Why don’t you start going to the gym 3x per week to take spinning, lift weights and swim laps with other humans. You don’t need your smartphone for that and will leave 2.5 hrs later feeling like a new, refreshed person.

[FlyerInHi]

I do go to the gym. But j being my smart phone with me. The bigger phones now allow you to do everything. Even remote control and selecting content to cast to tv. Can’t live without smart phone. Believe me, I resisted for a long time. But it’s very useful and more productive to check things between things. I’m posting this from the bank.

That was funny and so true, but 20 min long.

Trump’s message is “we’re gonna win, and win big.”
low education voters seething with resentment just want simple one liners.

[no_such_reality]

Best Facebook comment I’ve seen on Trump.

2016: Trump can’t win.

2017: President Trump can’t do that, can he?

2018: Are you watching the Hunger Games tonight, I hope my district wins!

I like to use one liners on this board for similar reasons.

I’m not a Trump supporter, but all of you libs seem to have a real hard time with the fact that Trump is winning, and winning big.

I think part of it is the elitism that seems to go along with being a lib.

Elitism?

How about I don’t like an asshat who verbally pisses in the face of some people whom I love, and their familieS?

Makes you wonder.

All sourced from the Clinton machine no doubt.

The establishment is so fearful (of losing power) they are now resorting to identying Trump with Nazi’s, kkk and who knows what else.

Again, I’m not a Trump supporter but this is ridiculous.

How else should one supposed to interpret Trump’s failure to disavow david duke?

I found trump refreshing initially. But now he just looks like a mad racist.

You interpret based on the bias you have.

I saw the interview and his response seemed reasonable to me – he basically had no idea what Tapper was talking about. How does he know that Tapper is providing reliable/accurate info? He said he knows nothing about white supremacy. Fair enough.
