It's not a difficult concept. Donald Trump said that he doesn't believe in teleprompters and that people who use them should not be allowed to run for president.

Now, he is using teleprompters.

The fact that you cannot admit or realize this simple point probably means that you will concede no point against Donald Trump.



No kidding that Clinton is crooked. But we should be allowed to criticize politicians without saying "Well, she did it, too!" I'm talking about a specific Donald Trump flip-flop right now.

I'm using this stupid issue as a litmus test to see if Trump supporters will ever concede something about their candidate. It's not looking good.

To be clear, I do not despise Donald Trump. I'm willing to give him a fair shot on each individual issue. I try to walk into every issue and every policy proposal with an open mind. In this particular case, even though it is an extremely minor issue (teleprompters), it is blatantly obvious that Trump supporters will only begrudgingly concede a point against their candidate after multiple attempts, and only with disclaimers and caveats attached.

So it's no wonder that on more important issues, you guys will hardly ever concede a point or admit that Trump was wrong. You guys are just as bad as the average Sanders supporters were, honestly it's a little like candidate worshiping. It's okay to admit your candidate fucks up every now and then.

On the cuck issue, why do conservatives have such a weird obsession with this sexual fetish? It's just bizarre.


it's just a meme insult that triggers the left (also known as the cucks)

What say you about my points about Donald Trump, teleprompters, candidate worship, flip-flopping, policy analysis, etc?

" I jokingly say if you're running for President you shouldn't be allowed to use teleprompters"
President Trump prefers to not use teleprompters, seemingly because knows they are easy and often make boring speeches, but has very recently used some. I don't think President Donald Trump using a teleprompter after saying he doesn't like them is a significant issue to be discussed.

Something significant you can say is his stance mentioned years ago about vaccinations. If he was currently talking banning vaccinations or something ridiculous then I would take a stance against this policy.

The reason I mentioned a tiny amount of the glaring issues involving Crooked Hillary is because the issue you are raising is so insignificant compared to the candidate you are voting for and the establishment many worship

Like I mentioned before, I realize the teleprompter issue is relatively small. But that's why I'm using it as a litmus test. If a Trump supporter can't admit that was a blatant flip-flop, then I don't know what they will ever concede about their candidate.

Donald Trump does not take an anti-vaccination stance, but he is quite an alarmist about it. There's no issue with vaccinations in this country, including when vaccinations are given and the schedule of vaccinations. This has been a subject that has been studied for many decades.



This sort of rhetoric is indefensible, in my opinion. Yes, Donald Trump is not explicitly saying vaccines cause autism. But he is implying some sort of link. And that's dangerous. It's a claim not backed by science, and he is perpetuating an idea that could lead to a public health issue. It's very irresponsible. The scientific and medical communities do not support his claims made on the subject.

I'm not a fan of Hillary Clinton or the establishment. Like I mentioned before, I reserve the right to criticize the establishment even if I have deemed that one of their candidates is the best choice for this particular election. I feel motivated to do what I think is best for America.

Besides, I liked Donald Trump a lot more before he sold out to Super PACs, the RNC, and to special interests. He's not the same candidate that he was in the primaries, and you're kidding yourself if you think so. He's different. Much more staged and rehearsed. I liked him better when he was off-the-cuff.

this is something he tweeted years ago and does not bring up at all in his presidential campaign. I do not know his current views but they are clearly not important enough to be relevant. What super pacs and special interests used by Donald Trump are you unhappy about?

During the recent debates, he also supported an alarmist stance on vaccines. So his stance on the issue is still the same. Again, he did not explicitly say vaccines cause autism. But he implied some sort of link between the two, and said something was going. He specifically talked about the scheduling of vaccines, combining vaccines, and the dosage of vaccines. All such claims on this issue are not back by medical science.

It's the simple fact that Donald Trump was so adamantly against Super PACs and special interests and now he is taking them that makes me so upset with him. He always bragged about how he was his own man and how Super PACs control candidates.



The fact that you cannot admit this was a terrible flip-flop is also telling...Trump supporters used to meme and criticize about how other candidates took Super PAC money and how not taking that money was one of Trump's biggest selling points, and now he has sold out. Trump is no longer a special unicorn, he's becoming more and more like other politicians and being corrupted by our political system.

Other than that incredibly long discussion in one of the Repblican debates where he said that someone who works for him whose two year old "Went to have the vaccine and came back a week later, got a tremendous fever, got very very sick, now is autistic."

It's cool tho, no reason to worry about him being in charge of the CDC. lol
