2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHere is how you take down a Trump supporter:
ASK THESE QUESTIONS AND DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK:
1) If Trump wants to make America great again, why does he make his clothing brands in China and Mexico? If he's worth billions of dollars, why doesn't he do like others and make his clothes here in the USA?
2) Where are Trump's tax returns? Every presidential candidate in 40 years has released them, and don't hide behind a audit. He can release for all the years outside the audit period. Even Warren Buffet said he could release them. What is he afraid of? What is he hiding?
3) Why is Trump so cozy with Vladamir Putin? Are they having a Bromance? What would Reagan think of that?
4) If Trump wants to make America great AGAIN, then he thinks America is not great now. How come? Why does he think America is so bad now? Why do you think America is so bad? Please, I want to hear specifics.
HOLD THEIR FEET TO THE FIRE AND DON'T LET THEM OFF THE HOOK. Ask pointed questions and insist on specifics. Don't let them weasel. Watch the smoke come out of their ears and they will storm away. I've done it. It's wonderful. Case closed.

When you are with that asshole person at the water cooler you don't tuck tail and run like a coward. You put the asshole in his place. Ask pointed questions. They can't answer them and huff away. It is WONDERFUL!

(2,056 posts)I shared the newsweek article on facebook and mentioned conflict of interest and an old childhood friend decided to engage in a debate with me. Well, he just started to bash Hillary with the usual smears to try to turn me against her. He said "Hillary for prison," and started in on emails and Benghazi. I made it clear that I'm neither Dem. or Rep. and I investigate things and operate only on facts. I pointed out that Congress cut funding to security to US embassies abroad against Clinton and Obama's wishes and recommendations. I said the only people who give a flying fart about the emails are the GOP lawmakers and they need to stop wasting millions of tax payer dollars because it's over and she's not guilty of any crimes and it's time to move on. I pointed out Trump's bribery of Bondi, ties with Russia and other unsavory characters and that he is facing fraud charges and has a long history of ripping people off. He kept trying to argue over a couple of days until I started posing youtube videos of people describing how Trump ripped them off and didn't pay them. Then he gave up.

(4,103 posts)They are convinced that Trump is the racist messiah that they have been praying for to deliver them from people with darker skin than theirs and nothing he says or does with convince them otherwise. It's a cult and he is their lord and savior.
