the long game

Post by callmeslick »

after humiliating Trump in the last week, repeatedly, and looking better every time he responds, Warren may have a long game plan going into action:

I think, no matter who gets nominated, she will be the party stalking horse dogging Trump. Seems to have worked in the first week.

As great minded and smart as Warren is, I think having 2 women on the ticket is going to be a mistake. The misogyny in this country will expose itself like never before. :roll:

I'd rather see Sanders and Warren as the Dem ticket if anyone wants to see a future revolution in Washington.

Great what? Destroyer of the country? That's exactly what Obama has been.

speaking of destruction, Icahn took THIS position after Trump(whom he's spoken well of) clinched the nomination:

in other words, it is starting to look like SOME folks are pushing the Donald and BETTING that he causes a market crash.......

let the above sink in, potential Trump voters. You're getting played. Too much advice and leadership on bailing on stocks, and repositioning into commodities on the 6 to 12 month futures out there in the past two weeks for me NOT to take it seriously. The type of crash that Trump could trigger(massive uncertainty, coupled with rapid shift in global currency repositioning among other reasons), and according to most experts WOULD trigger, due to sheer incompetence coupled with rejection of serious advice, might well be the final shove that puts the US into second or third world status, and most of the population into poverty and servitude.

hard to determine that from any of your gun posts. I'm starting to get a strong vibe that some folks are purposely planning on disrupting the economy for personal gain, and using Trump to accomplish that. Maybe you find that boogy-man stuff, but I'm talking about how I plan on keeping an eye on my portfolio, as well as politics. What is sad is that I'll survive downturns, corrections and crashes just as well as my family has for 250 years......by being diversified and really conservative in equities. I have the liquidilty to pivot and not take a loss. Howabout all those white working angry guys supporting Trump? Goodbye, any hope of EVER retiring. Make America desperate and ripe for dictatorship ought to be the orangutan's slogan but that just isn't catchy and can't be fit on a goofy hat.

There is also the strong possibility that Trump is one of those people, doing a Pete Rose and betting against the success of the United States. Really though, the people who want to "shake things up" politically often don't think far enough ahead to see these types of consequences. They just want to feel like they did something. There will always some else to blame for Trump's eventual failures. "Liberals" or some crap.
