Posted this in the Social Media War Chest thread, but also dropping it here so more people can make use of it:

1. Selling Trump / Defending Trump from attacks

1.1. General Trump brochure

Trump is the only candidate who is against USA's retarded wars, regime changes and color revolutions.

Trump: "The world would be a better place with Gadaffi and Saddam Hussein still in power"
http://edition.cnn.com/2015/10/25/politi...m-hussein/
Trump: "I would have a great cooperation with Putin, whom the USA has turned into a world leader through its abysmal leadership"
http://www.themoscowtimes.com/news/artic...29295.html
Trump: "I would fire the Bush administration for invading Iraq"
http://www.rense.com/general54/bushs.htm
Trump: "Saudi Arabia only exists because of USA and there is no reason why it should get so much from us"
http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articl...f-the-u-s-
Trump: "Assad might be bad, but USA must stop 'nation-building' and must destroy ISIS, which is the consequence of our destabilizations of Syria and Iraq"
http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/...n-building

He also features the following important details:

- opposition to illegal immigration, including fake "Syrian" "refugees"
- opposition to corporate free trade bills and other lobbying, including GMO
- opposition to war on drugs, wants to let states decide whether to legalize or not
- scepticism about the Federal Reserve; big banks are spending millions to defeat him - https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cc1T_PvUMAAEAVz.jpg

1.2. Countering appeals to Christianity and the Pope

If Trump is "not Christian" for building walls, then Pope Francis is also not a Christian, since he lives behind the giant Vatican wall himself:
http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/x/vatican-w...020107.jpg
Furthermore, even GOD HIMSELF is not a Christian, since his heavenly city has walls:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=KJV
"11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:"

1.3. Countering "gish gallop" tactics

See, posts like this are EXACTLY why Trump is so popular. His opponents have nothing to offer except some buzzwords.

1.4. Countering "Trump is racist / KKK"

Trump has been endorsed by Charles Evers, Mississippi’s First Black Mayor and NAACP Field Secretary whose brother was assassinated by KKK.
http://dailycaller.com/2016/03/04/why-is...president/

1.5. Countering appeals to Obama

I was a huge fan of Obama when he was first elected, but sadly I have to admit Trump is right. Here are some of Obama's legacies:

- ISIS takeover of Libya
- ISIS takeover of Syria
- Rewarding megabanks for causing the financial crisis
- Supporting mass surveillance of innocent citizens
- Encouraging massive illegal immigration into USA (which disproportionately affects African Americans who get squeezed out of basic jobs and welfare and get massacred by Latino drug gangs)
- Stoking racial hatred and division in USA
- Forcing degeneracy and immorality onto States, removing their rights

Back in 2008, Obama was against pointless wars, against spying, against the banks, against illegal immigration and against gay marriage. He has trampled every single one of those promises. And that part - the shameless lying - is the worst of all.

1.6. Countering "Trump is a Republican" / "Trump is a Democrat" / "Trump only benefits X"

Donald Trump has sparked a powerful movement that includes people of all races, religions and political bents, and this is no time for petty squabbles. Both Republicans and Democrats will benefit from Making America Great Again.

The fact that both left-wing and right-wing media and establishment figures are united against Trump clearly shows that the left-right is only a circus made to divert the people's attention from things that actually matter.

Get on the Trump train or get out of the way.

1.7. Countering Godwin's law (appeals to Hitler)

[Image: attachment.php?aid=30376]
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736...e9b1bf.jpg

(or 1.3.)

1.8. Countering appeals to money / claims that Trump represents the influence of big money in politics

Donald Trump has spent the least per vote out of all candidates. His competitors outspend him on ads by a ratio of 100:1 and have spent half a billion dollars to fight him now. He has no super-PACs and runs the most cost-effective campaign in history.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=30382]

1.9. Countering "Trump is only in it for money and fame"

Unlike other candidates, Donald Trump has been a positive actor in the USA's vibrant culture and economy for decades, and has a rich history of kindness and helping others:

[Image: attachment.php?aid=30385]

1.10. Countering "Trump appeals only to the uneducated

Trump is popular with people of all income and education levels because everyone can benefit from Making America Great Again. However, polls show that Trump is the most popular candidate exactly among the most educated:

2. Destroying the competition

1. Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is controlled opposition.

1) His "conservative" platform is fake. He didn't adopt any anti-war or anti-immigration stances until they had first been popularized by Trump (and partly Rand Paul).

2) The genuine parts of his "conservative" platform are the most useless ones: sucking up to evangelicals and Israel. Despite all his conservatism, he's never done anything serious against gay marriage, abortion and feminism. All talk, no action.

3) He is a pawn of the establishment who will bend to their wishes very easily. If he's really some uncontrollable fanatic, then why does he have a $50 million super-PAC? What idiot politician or banker would donate to someone who was really against them? Which brings us to...

4) He is directly funded by loans from Goldman Sachs and his wife works at Goldman Sachs herself. For all the shit we say about Marcobot or !Yeb, at least they don't have such direct ties to the worst and most destructive part of USA.

5) He's an uncharismatic person who relies on media support, snark and rehearsed speeches, similar to Obama. Put him under the same pressure as Trump is subjected to every day and he'll crumble.

6) His campaign is based on outright lies and fraud - not something "distasteful" or "questionable", but outright fraud like telling Ben Carson's voters that Carson dropped out, or making shameless claims about Trump that are 100% the opposite of reality

7) For all his mythical American patriotism, he has been a citizen of Canada until 2014, the very last moment when dropping that became profitable.

8) Despite all his the "loathing" he supposedly inspires, he is heavily supported by the media and establishment figures. When have you seen Megyn Kelly give him a tough question? Is he compared to Hitler every day, despite espousing many of the same views as Trump?

Cruz is no better than Rubio or !Yeb. Trump or bust.

"These are temporary foreign workers, imported from abroad, for the explicit purpose of substituting for American workers at lower pay. I remain totally committed to eliminating rampant, widespread H-1B abuse," Trump said in a statement on his website, though he backtracked on his position during a recent Republican debate.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/03/10/news/tru...index.html

Although I have to say, this is one alleged immigration violation I can't get too angry over. Give us your thin, your hot, your sexy models yearning to be free!

So,

Quote:The agency is currently battling a proposed class action lawsuit filed by Jamaican model Alexia Palmer, who was brought to the country with an H-1B visa.

A single person files a lawsuit against Trump. It seems that anyone who is looking to make a buck off Trump is cashing in now while they have some leverage from the public.

Anyways, this is standard fare before every big vote. I've said this before: expect at least 2 new "scandalous" revelations per day from the media and Trump's opponents in an effort to blunt his momentum before Florida and Ohio.

Let's see, tomorrow there will be a big deal made about something dumb Trump said during the debate, and then perhaps another lawsuit that someone filed somewhere against Trump.

Yep. Just tell them that Trump isn't any kind of fanatic, hater or "xenophobe", he is basically a normal guy with a lot of charm who loves money, women, and success, and who in his life made a lot of money, lost a lot of money and then made even more and is now running for president because he loves the country that's been so good to him. He's doing it because he hates the idea that his country is being run by people with credentials but no common sense and no intuition for how the world works. He'll be perfectly friendly to other countries, other than monsters who want to chop people's heads off and need to be put down. That's all there is to it.

Or, you could do the opposite, and basically say that all of the press coverage is pretty much accurate. It is useful for folks outside the U.S. to think that our President is somewhat crazy, and willing to go to the mat with an irrationally aggressive military response to any perceived slight. No one fears the U.S. anymore, that's our biggest problem in foreign policy. North Korea takes a UVA student hostage for a ransom and no one seems to care. Many foreigners thought Reagan was some combination of trigger-happy and delusional, with his wife consulting an Astrologer she kept on staff. They were terrified that Ronnie had the nuke codes, and they didn't fuck us.

Many of you are likely too young to remember when Reagan joked right before his weekly radio address that "My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes." Russia didn't know what to think, and put its forces on alert. Cemented Reagan as a gives-no-fucks kind of guy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_begin_b...ve_minutes

I was initially pretty troubled by Trump's insistence during the recent debate that the military would do whatever he said, including interrogation techniques more aggressive than waterboarding. But I'm no longer troubled, because I think the true audience for those remarks was our enemies. They need to believe that Trump has full command of our military, otherwise the deterrent effect of that military is reduced. For Trump to have responded otherwise (e.g., well, I'll ask them and we'll see what they want to do), would have been ridiculous and foolish.

Go Trump!

Trolled a lady at work today. She's a New Yorker of Scottish descent (her parents were immigrants from there) and told her that she might be related to Donald Trump mother's family.

She pursed her lips angrily and said "don't you even THINK about it!" Her reaction was gold mrgreen!

Trump needs to KO next Tuesday to close this thing. He needs keep his promise of defunding EPA(the majority of the donors), and probably come out against online gambling(addleson), not sure what his views are on Telecom monopolies since Tim Warner(time magazine, CNN and HBO have been so anti trump its getting ridiculous). The necons will always be against him but they have such low numbers plus their "center-left" allies have been all but wiped out during 8 years of obama, the republican party is all they have. During the last debate trump "mispoke" by saying that we are going to bid on national defense, the right bid NOT the ones that fund "you" and "you"(pointing to ted and marco). He was so close to saying look at that fucking 1.3 Trillion$ F-35 fight jet program. Those are the kinds of "mishaps" that drive the Neo-Cons crazy!

Hilary's green energy plan of 60$ billion worth of federal incentives will likely tripple Elon Musk's net worth and help out Apple's new car launch. Its funny how this election has exposed that the US is run by a coalition of oligarchs, those of the right, those of the left and the ones that fund both sides.

The immediate proof is already there as to what the future of America could turn into.. It's not really muslim rapefugees that America needs to worry about. It's simple to close the immigration tap off when it comes to those guys but the ones right across the border is another story entirely.

Well, I have lived in the southwest my whole life and I don't entirely see it this way. For one, Mexicans have largely been integrated into western European culture through the efforts of the Spaniards. The vast majority of the country is Roman Catholic and has been that way for a couple hundred years. Many Mexicans have a mixed racial background between indigenous and Spanish populations.

The main thing separating Mexicans from Americans is language, so I will agree that pushing for maintaining the Spanish language in the US is the wrong way to go.

As far as the criminality thing and low economic potential thing goes, I would say that that is a mixed bag. Many of the kids who were second or third generation Mexican immigrants in my mechanical engineering classes (which were accredited by the way) outperformed me. A lot were getting 3.8's-4.0's and one even switched over to being a physics major and is currently getting his post-graduate degree in physics at UCLA.

A couple of my close friends who are second generation Mexican immigrants came from blue collar backgrounds had the potential to further the education (two were in AP calculus in high school), but their potential is currently not being reached due to a lack of focus on getting a degree.

I even went joined an outreach program in college and saw many of the kids living in a poor Mexican community in my city and I did see potential.

A small minority do become criminals, but there is a lot of potential in that community.

---------------------------------------------------------

I would say that my only problem with immigration from Mexico and Central America is illegal immigration. That I 100% agree with.

We need to stop illegal immigration, especially since we are facing a second wave of it from Central America.

In high school, I saw many kids who could not speak a lick of english and millions, millions! of tax payers dollars were spent on teaching these kids english and trying to get them up to speed in addition to the medical costs that the illegal immigrants would rack up.

Then on top of this the illegal immigrants would take pennies on the dollar for blue collar work that got paid under the table, which deflated working wages for native born blue collar workers.

It's amazing that those who champion "diversity" are perfectly fine that the overwhelming majority of migrants are now coming from one single country. That's not diversity- thats a takeover.

Here's a visual of the invasion.

Wow, my jaw just dropped.

It's been mentioned a few times in this thread the rolling "scandal" that Corey Lewandowski (Trump's Campaign Manager) had physically grabbed a Breitbart reporter, and the media heads were going apeshit about it.

I thought it was 50/50 that Trump campaign was either going to a) apologize (lightly) or b) just ignore it and move on.

But no, it looks like team Trump is doubling down and are firing back at the reporter.

http://redstatewatcher.com/article.asp?id=10174

I'm wondering if this will be the big "thing" against team Trump this coming weekend.

EDIT: It's on Breitbart now. Here's your big scandal until the vote!

Then we'll let the American people know that he brings in 10's of beautiful women a year into America, and not all of them get rich! That'll stop the American people from supporting Trump.

Breitbart Cucking for the Establishment.

Quote:Fields: “That was insane. You should have felt how hard he grabbed me. That’s insane. I’ve never had anyone do that to me from a campaign.”

Terris: “Can I put that in my story?”

Fields: “Yeah, go for it — that was really awful. That’s so unprofessional.”

Terris: “He really just almost threw you down on the ground.”

Fields: “He literally went like this and was grabbing me down. I don’t even what to do [about] what he just did to me. Oh my God, that really spooked me that someone would do that.”

Terris: “What threat were you?”

Fields: “Nothing. I was asking about affirmative action.”

Terris: “And he probably knows you, right?”

Fields: “Yeah, I don’t understand. That looks horrible. You’re going after a Breitbart reporter, the people who are nicest to you?”

Terris: “I know, I’m going to put it in my story.”



Yep, this'll be on the next debate and so will the HB-1

If this is all they have on Trump, I'm not worried at all.

Where's the violation?

It's a model agency!
Trump was fully justified to use the H-1B visa program for that.
He just couldn't find enough qualified (= young, fit, beautiful, female)
US citizens in Fatmerica to fill all the vacant positions, so he used the H1B.
That's precisely what it's for.

And even if he did something wrong, what was the result?
More hot young chicks in America.
We are doomed!

Anyway, just goes to show how consistent Trump is.
He already started to MAGA.

Obama: Brought a sharp increase in fat, ugly, snarky feminist warpigs.
Trump: Invited countless hot young girls to America.

No further questions.
Trump 2016!
