There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

Considering how little he actually said that wasn't just broad statements or promises that he probably won't be able to keep, I wonder, too.
Of course, my dad (huge conservative) defended him by saying that all politicians do things like this early on, but that makes zero sense because he should be able to know at least a couple things of how to accomplish these goals. And if he indeed already has ideas like that, he needs to show them.
Also, he showed that he's as xenophobic as most Republicans only dream of a president being.
But that's just my two cents. Feel free to correct me if I got information wrong there.

X3 Because most of us support the Dems, plus we have called foul on the Republicans, we called foul on the Republicans rigging attempts during the primary, where their attempts backfired and caused Trump to win.

Oh, that's because Clinton (the DNC favourite) is the nominee while Jeb (the RNC pick) isn't. That and the press need someone wake to drag the Dems down and make this a close race.
Yeah, that and money, Clinton isn't spending at this point I belive, let's see where the polls are once she opens her war chest.

“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranDoor to door is still important, also you're forgetting that while Trump gets a lot of free publicity from the press Clinton does get some herself. Not enough to outperform Trump alone, but with her financial advantage she should be able to null Trump's free publicity advantage.

Well, not Trump himself (I doubt he cares), but a combination of leaving things up to the states and a GOP majority in Congress (and possibly the Supreme Court).

I have to say while the DNC is grossly incompetent, how come everyone is only crying foul at them? Why are they being held to a higher standard than the Republicans who, no doubt, did the same thing?
