2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSo, you are Hillary and you get to ask Trump one question. Go for it:
What would your debate question be?Mine would be, "Are you now or have you ever been a birther?" It makes him seem more like a National Inquirer headline than a Presidential candidate. It diminishes any sense of gravitas he might try to convey. It paints him as the racist he is. It highlights how he isn't a candidate with real proposals. It places him ion his real place, just some blowhard with a Twitter account. And, it is a response to his blaming Hillary for birtherism. Trump cannot make his new lie stick and he diminishes only himself as a tabloid gossip if he continues to promote his lie.

(115,576 posts)But seriously, I might want to ask him why, as a millionaire, he uses his charitable foundation to pay his legal bills and buy paintings of himself instead of paying out of his own pocket. Does he know it's illegal to do that? And I would always use the word "millionaire" because he wants to be known as a yuuge billionaire and that would bug the hell out of him.

Maybe he is hiding the gray pallor side effect of anti-psychotic medication.

(47,209 posts)Now we are redirecting ire toward Trump to his mother? Encouraging Hillary to engage in cat fighting?
WTF DU?

(15,262 posts)"Have you no sense of humor?"
No one on this thread has blamed a woman for anything.
bettyellen
(47,209 posts)Implying she was nuts or somehow responsible for her shitty kid is boilerplate sexism. So there's also that.

(47,209 posts)Reagan's "soft bigotry of low expectations" against Trump. LOL. Turning this grading on a curve thing against the anti- affirmative action crowd. Now THAT's interesting to me.
I'm actually the funniest person you're likely to meet. Just very disappointed so many were hoping for some sort of catfight w Flowers. So much WTF, you know?

Welcome to DU! Great question.
Laura PourMeADrink
(42,770 posts)are you aware that is murder? When you said you would take Iraq's oil, are you aware of the fact it is against US and International law and the Geneva Convention ? Are you aware there are international laws? And what is your favorite international law?

(15,262 posts)I'd focus on the Alzheimer's first, "Do you remember Ronald Reagan and how would you compare yourself to Ronald Reagan?
You can just imagine how he would make himself greater than St. Ronnie, pissing off a lot of St. Ronnie loyalists and showing off his poor memory.

(67,084 posts)I had heard once he was in a deep depression at one time, but I have no link and don't want to spread unfounded rumors. Maybe he just takes a little bit of what Ben Carson takes. LOL!

(35,015 posts)He'll say yes, then she needs to follow up with a rhetorical "then why won't you release your taxes? A successful businessman would be proud to release them. I'm thinking you're not as successful as you say you are, after all, you lie about everything. I dare you to prove me wrong."

(4,840 posts)"....will not believe" what your investigators were finding in Hawaii regarding President Obama's birth records.
But you never revealed what your investigators found.
Would you care to share what exactly your investigators found in Hawaii?
Boom.
Trump will be dead in the water.
He's got nothing.
Coyotl
(15,262 posts)The birther thing is a no win with undecideds and independents, it is just a way to create a wingnut base of racist Obama haters. The more he is called a birther, the greater the gap between him and Hillary.

Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)His ego might lead him to say "None." This is great. With one word he's taken responsibility for four business bankruptcies, for all the Trump Foundation misdeeds, for the Trump University fiasco, for a legion of stiffed contractors and other broken promises, etc.
If he could bring himself to admit to a mistake about anything, then that would at least be a start toward cracking this image of the supersuccessful businessman.
I'd really be hoping for "None," though.
