Sincere question for those who support Trump and...

Buzzfeed reports that the Russians have video of Trump getting golden showers link


“I’m also very much of a germaphobe, by the way, believe me,” Trump says
Trump cited his germophobia as a possible reason as to why the reports from the dossier about alleged lewd acts on a hotel room bed were untrue.
“Does anyone really believe that story? I’m also very much of a germaphobe, by the way, believe me,” Trump said.
In earlier comments, Trump cited his high profile as a celebrity businessman as further evidence as to why the unverified allegations in a dossier published on Tuesday were untrue.
“When I leave our country, I’m a very high-profile person, would you say? I am extremely careful,” Trump said. “I’m surrounded by bodyguards. I’m surrounded by people.”
The president-elect said his awareness of hidden cameras possibly being places in hotel rooms was further evidence of why such a video would not exist.
“You better be careful or you’ll be watching yourself on nightly television. I tell this to people all the time,” Trump said, adding that “cameras are so small, with modern technology, you can’t see them and you won’t know.”

I said it once AND I will say it again, these "people that are long gone", many of which were quite nasty about Muslims and were rather nasty to me. I am lost on the hair flip of feigned nastiness.

Do you want just Trump supporters views or do you want Republicans that voted for Trump views also? They are two very different groups who seem to have totally different views and outlook for the upcoming 4 years.

Yes, I know when it comes to the peas it's a hard line. You voted for Trump, therefore you are a Trump supporter. This is bullshit in my real world though. There really is two very different groups! I also think that is why most republicans that voted for him (that's still here) will no longer chime in. Heck, I'm very hesitant to do so myself. I'm getting really tired of reading the same ole stuff here and hope to bring at least a bit of a different perspective.

As far as the conference goes, I watched all of it and thought he pulled it off a little better than I expected. There's a lot of information he put out that I'd like to verify. One instance is when he said he had absolutely no ties with Russia, no business deals past, present or future. I hope that comes to be true. I'm very interested in the ACA repeal and replace, but for now it's just the same old words being used. I want to see what kind of changes can be made to make it work for the majority. This is an issue I feel strongly about so I'll be following it closely. I did laugh a bit about the "watch out for cameras" bit. He should have developed that sense years ago, or did he just develop that sense after the Billy Bush fiasco. I'm guessing the later. I think that statement will likely take up a good portion of news covering the conference more than anything else he said. I truly hope that's not the case though. I'd rather bigger issues get looked into.

If there is something specific that he said and you'd like my view on, please ask.

I'm not a Trump supporter and never respond on these threads but I did have one thought that I want to share.

He was asked what his plan was for the ACA. All I've heard him say is 'repeal and replace.' Ok, fine, I understand that, but what are you going to replace it WITH? If he would just answer the questions and gave the viewer some idea of what he is replacing it with then I think he would get (a teeny bit) more respect.

THAT is what scares me the most, he gives us no idea about what his actually plans are.

She just said that she no longer is willing to discuss her thoughts because there is no discussion. It's all attack all the time.

You sure proved her wrong. 

I am so greatful to the peas that can be well spoken and say it better than I can. I sit on my hands A LOT!

Most peas who left (liberal and conservative) deleted their accounts and said nothing. I remember a couple of conservative I'm leaving threads and 1 liberal. If you go back and read some of the threads before the election, there are numerous deleted accounts. Most of them, I couldn't tell you what side they were on by just seeing a name and zero posts. Meaning, their posts didn't stand out as inflammatory.

I think the reasons are varied. There's now way to know if they said nothing. Sometimes it's just time to move on.

Anyway, I don't think deleting an account is a hair flip. I don't mind a political discussion, but when I see certain peas from both sides it's time to mark the thread as read because nothing good will happen.

michym, I hope you get some answers, but I don't have hopes either side will remain civilized.

Thanks for your thoughts on the press conference. It is interesting to see how different people thought it went and what they took away from it. 

It's not. There plenty threads against Hillary.
You didn't have to vote for Trump just because you're a republican. You could have written your own name down.

This is no longer a debate between dems and reps, this is an issue of character which you can't ignore. The sad nightmare begins next week of his Presidency. It's a complete embarrassment to have him represent this country.

Trump's offenses are not equal to Hillary's email scandal, which by the way happened to George W. Bush too but that story got NO traction.

I really appreciate you because you do say what you feel without being nasty towards those people who don't think like you. You are truly a rarity here, and I do like reading what you have to say.

I agree. It's a dilemma for me. I just could not vote for Trump, BUT I know others who did. They fit a wide spectrum too. Yes, some are definite assholes and others are none of the above that you listed.

If you answer the question, it will become a personal attack from a few peas. They will not stop. It happens with conservative peas too.

I'll never believe all Republicans are evil and I'll never believe the same for Democrats. It's an us vs them mentality leaving this independent voter sick of the threads. I'll participate and even start a thread, but past page 2, it is usually pointless.
