Did my own research into the Drumpf thing, turns out it's nonsense like most things CURRENTYEAR-man says.

There's nothing that connects the name Drumpf to Frederick Trump, at most his name was originally Trumpf and they dropped the pf sound to anglicize it.

Baptismal records show that even Frederick Trump's father(the Don's great grandfather) was named Trump/Trumpf, there was never a D in their family name.

Gwenda Blair claims in her book on the Trump family that they were originally named Drumpf but changed it to Trump in the 17th century sometime during the 30 Years War. She doesn't share how she got this information and there's nothing I can find to back it up. She also contradicts herself later and says Frederick Trump changed his name from Drumpf in the late 1800s, which is demonstrably false as I pointed out above.

Drumpf isn't even a real German name as far as I can tell, there are no notable Drumpfs and it has no German meaning. It's just a nonsense word with a pf added at the end to make it sound German.

Not that any of this silliness matters.

I've noticed all the people I know who still say "Drumpf" are unemployed.

All leftists I have spoken with are aware he is jewish.

It is rarely brought up for the following reason: race is only discussed in the "white majority oppressing colored minority" context.

How likely would you estimate it is that Trump wins the republican nomination and get to face the democratic nominee? I'm wondering this with regards to the public and establishment doing everything it takes to shut him down.
Handsome Creepy Eel 路 2016-03-18 16:55:00 路 #24262
It's practically a done deal. The establishment has thrown every dirty trick in the book at him and failed spectacularly. They don't have anything left.

Trump's all like:

100%.

If there actually is an illuminati-style conspiracy as some suggest...AND it is worried about who is president, this number could be as low as 65%.

Interesting choice for a first post.

All my life, living mostly in the US, I've always used white / jew interchangeably if it applied. I never understood all the jew hate, but then again I never lived in the northeast.

It will come down to the last day, June 7th, but at this point it looks like there is no way Trump won't have enough delegates to win the Republican nomination. Nothing is set in stone though.

Unless Cruz doesn't play ball (he's said on numerous occasions that a brokered convention would lead to "a revolt") or he's assassinated, the chances of him being in the general are 100%.

NYTs did a breakdown the other day. Trump has a very plausible path to get enough delegates to avoid a brokered convention.

There's new optimism today. The NY Times has a decent article on how Trump has a clear path now. Not guaranteed of course, but his path looks strong.



Quote:Rubio鈥檚 Exit Leaves Trump With an Open Path to 1,237 Delegates
By GREGOR AISCH, JOSH KATZ, JOSH KELLER and ALICIA PARLAPIANO MARCH 16, 2016

Donald J. Trump鈥檚 series of victories on Tuesday extended his delegate lead and forced Senator Marco Rubio of Florida out of the presidential race. Mr. Trump鈥檚 path to winning enough delegates to secure the Republican nomination is not assured, but he is in a strong position.

You don't have to know them personally to understand the general sentiment against them. A little bit of research would do the trick. A lot of Jews nowadays can be nice people, so knowing some wouldn't even automatically help you understand the sentiment based on personal experience.

But Jew-hate or not - calling Jews white is a deplorable custom and it would be greatly appreciated if more people were aware of the differences and not use that description for them anymore. It would be like calling Indians black. Just because the skin color can sometimes look the same doesn't make them the same ethnicity.

You'd be surprised. I live in an upscale town and I see Bernie yard signs all over. The other day I saw a decent-looking guy in his 40s with a Bernie tshirt.

Don't kid yourself thinking it's only "loser" millenials supporting him.

I work with a lot of Ivy grads and they all Bernie supporters. I'm the only Trump supporter around these parts and I have seen their glee turn dark in the last few weeks.

Another disturbing note: my students in China, every single one, says "Trump hates everyone, how can you like Trump?" Many students ask me if I like Hillary or Trump, which is funny that even they know that will be the election. The issue is, everyone is hearing the same message outside the USA, Trump is a maniac, Hitler, world ender. I explained he an American, for America. He wants taxes on Chinese selling things in the USA just like China does to USA things in China, no more Chinese going to the USA to have babies and a better America for Americans. Everyone nods their heads and says, OK, I get it.

Search for the Jew threads on this forum, and let's focus on Trump in this one please.

Marc Faber: "I Will Vote For Trump, Because Hillary Will Destroy The Whole World"

Quote:FABER: You can buy the Singapore stock market with a four percent dividend yield. Well, Singapore is a relatively sound economy. It's diversified and it's well run, unlike the U.S., unless, of course, the U.S. is run by Mr. Trump. Then the U.S. will improve.

HYDE: But Mr. Faber, I mean, we're seeing from Donald Trump's potential policies that he wants to slow international trade between the United States and other countries. Surely that's going to be a block upon free markets.

FABER: Well, I agree that it is negative if you have restrictions on a free market. That, I agree entirely. But you have to equally see that the U.S. has essentially given in on a lot of things that benefit other countries. If you look at, say, the growth, 2000 to today, which countries have done relatively well? The emerging markets have done fantastically well. Their GDP has gone up substantially. The standards of living have gone up substantially. They have accumulated large reserves, and so forth. The U.S. and Europe and Japan, relatively speaking, have been declining, and that, the statistics are visible from industrial production in emerging economies. It's doubled in the last 12 years. Global trade, you look at the share of emerging markets, it's gone up. The developed world, the U.S., Europe, Japan, it's gone down and so forth. So I think that maybe we have to find a way to have a more balanced approach to global trade. I'm not saying protectionism, but the more balanced approach that is fair to the developed world.

BARTON: Are you really a fan of Mr. Trump, Marc? Do you really believe...?

FABER: It is all relative. Given the alternatives, I would vote for Mr. Trump, because he may only destroy the U.S. economy, but Hillary Clinton will destroy the whole world. Look at her nation building in the Middle East, how successful that has been.

For those who don't know, Faber is a top investor, very famous.

Trump has 65% in New York.

He's going to win all 95 of this state's delegates.

I think with De-blazi-shmo it's time for us to uncuck ourselves.

So I go to the dentist today for my six month checkup. The hygienist, a 60 something San Francisco born and raised woman, is making small talk and she mentions Trump. Well I start gearing up for a fight. I very cockily say "well I like Trump!" She goes "me too!!" She proceeds to talk my ear off throughout the appointment about how great Trump is and how he is what America needs. She also says this is the most exciting election in her life time.

I said I meet a surprising number of people in SF who like Trump. She says "me too! We don't advertise it because the anti Trump people are so intolerant, but I talk to a lot of people in SF, many life time democrats , who are going to vote for Trump."

She also said the press is full of BS about Trump and most people see right through it. She mentioned the Chicago riots and how it was Bernie and Hillary people doing it, yet they blamed it on Trump which is infuriating. I said yeah, that's why Trump outperformed in Illinois.

I wouldn't rule out a last minute attempt to change the 1,237 rule if Trump gets all the delegates he needs.

Every hailmary that they can throw at him will be thrown.

If they do take it that far I will then be 100% sure(rather then 90% now) that they(GOP) prefer Hillary in office rather than Trump because if they do him wrong they can kiss a republican candidates chances goodbye.
