- So much booing and heckling.********
- Surprisingly he gracefully took everyone's boos, and it wasn't till the end was Trump able to pull everyone together behind his plan.********

Republican security experts rail against Trump in open letter
"He weakens US moral authority as the leader of the free world," the letter read.
"He appears to lack basic knowledge about and belief in the US Constitution, US laws, and US institutions, including religious tolerance, freedom of the press, and an independent judiciary.""The Republican candidate has questioned whether the US should honour its commitments to Nato, endorsed the use of torture and suggested that South Korea and Japan should arm themselves with nuclear weapons."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/electi…
Excuse my ignorance as I am not from the US but why did Trump not run as an independent? Money? Rocking the Republican boat?
Presumably he had support within the Republican party to even become a candidate?I know how things work over here just wondering if it is the same?
- Reps and Dems are so entrenched in the system(legislators, media, money, power) that only they can win the presidency. Independents can only be spoilers.IRNlun6
- Bernie switched to Dem to run, then when he lost to Hillary he switched right back to independent.IRNlun6
- < this group who has the gal to label anyone as weak in moral authority, are the same ones who brought us the wonderful war in Iraq and its consequences.IRNlun6
- okay... but how did Trump even get nominated by Repubs in 1st place? I presume he must have needed a certain number to nominate?fadein11
- Voters. He needed a nation wide 1237 delegates to win the nomination. They did everything they could to try and stop him but he won by an overwhelming majorityIRNlun6
- People really want that wall.monospaced
- Make America great again. It's got electrolytes. It's what America craves.monospaced
- I believe anyone can run under any party as long as you file with the FEC and file to get on all state ballots.IRNlun6
- Our delegate system is completely fucked, they can literally be bought. They have to give the appearance that they're not corrupt so they go with the voters.IRNlun6
- This year was particularly unique in that the Republican party did not support the nominee but voters forced their hand.IRNlun6
- Trump has done a great job positioning himself as populist nationalist which is why he secured the nomination against the entire Republican establishment.IRNlun6
- thanks for the clarification. I kind of get why he's getting voted but presumed he must have had to been nominated by republican party to start the race -fadein11
- but I see anyone can run which I guess is fair really as it leaves it in the public's hands... just aa shame in this case ha.fadein11
- getting votes* not voted.fadein11
- But in short, the very terrifying truth is theres a lot of Americas that support his views and his behavior. Thats why he's there. Its god awfully disappointingsofakingback
- and embarrassing.sofakingback
- yep I get that - we in the UK had a similar situation where half the country voted for a trio of c*nts on Brexit... scary days.fadein11
- So embarrassing.monospaced
- Thats good to know fadein. half of the UK are not fascist in voting not to be ruled by bureaucrats, i didnt know that.yurimon
- Johnson and Hunt not bureaucrats - megalolz... take your own advice and do some research before commenting #yurimongfadein11
- sorry to hear that you country is utter shit. maybe it the people who live in it? jkyurimon
- Gove* not Hunt.fadein11

Regarding this open letter on security.... From the NY Times...
FIFTY of the nation’s most senior Republican national security officials, many of them former top aides or cabinet members for President George W. Bush, have signed a letter declaring that Donald J. Trump “lacks the character, values and experience” to be president and “would put at risk our country’s national security and well-being.”
Mr. Trump, the officials warn, “would be the most reckless president in American history.”
It says he has “demonstrated repeatedly that he has little understanding” of the nation’s “vital national interests, its complex diplomatic challenges, its indispensable alliances and the democratic values” on which American policy should be based. And it laments that “Mr. Trump has shown no interest in educating himself.”
Trump's response? He blames them for terrorism. "They're the ones the American people should look to for answers on why the world is a mess, and we thank them for coming forward so everyone in the country knows who deserves the blame for making the world such a dangerous place.”
------
Ok, help me out here. FOX 'news' was riling everyone up about those Harvard kids answering a gotcha question, right? Remember, the one about "who is a bigger threat to global security, the US or ISIS?" Remember that?
Trump literally just said that this group of American foreign policy and national security experts deserve the blame for making the world such a dangerous place. Where is the outrage from the right-wing media? Trump tweets every couple days something about the dishonest media being biased against him, but they're clearly giving him a huge pass on this.
The people against Trump now includes a full 50 security experts that just went against their own party – risking their careers, finances, and chances of ever holding a position of power again – in order to speak out against Trump. There is no other Republican candidate, these people aren't angling for a better job, they're not trying to get a preferred candidate elected.
They're speaking out of concern for their country and global security. Trump says they're responsible for terrorism.
- Finally, the Globalists are coming to save us. good post nb. this means TPP has a chance. good news.yurimon
- #ignoreyurimon********
- I think its safe to say its ok for Republicans to be against Trump. The momentum has already started and everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.sofakingback
- He's gonna lose and like all spineless cowards, they're gonna make sure people don't remember hem as Trump supporters, even though they didn't oppose him.sofakingback
- What the hell happened to this world? The leaders we were supposed to admire and aspire to emulate have turned into the worst humanity has to offer.sofakingback
- Shit, comedians have more spine and conviction than these guys. Im interested in the effect this will have on our youth. "I want to be president" said no childsofakingback
- I would argue that a huge number of kids wants to be president thanks to Obama, though. Things aren't quite as bad as you say.********

- I haven't ignored his point at all - have listened to it about a 100 times now. And I agree Hillary is also potentially a disaster but not so much a disaster asfadein11
- small hands. Trump's behaviour / intellect / track record up until now gives me zero faith in him. It's comical that he is even running. But I know you lovefadein11
- being devils advocate (I hope) - or do you think Trump will make a good president Set? Genuinely interested in your thoughts.fadein11
- I think trump will rattle the current system in terms of miss use, inefficiencies. you will hear, "why are spending money for this?"yurimon
- "We spent this much money and look at the results". He will be the flashlight on the roaches that are financially dug into the industrial complex.yurimon
- he is not indoctrinated into the system like a career politicians so they are nervous if he will play ball in preserving how money flows in DC.yurimon
- if he sux it wont be any different then what we have now. he is more of a democrat then we think. because everyone is looking with media prejudgementyurimon
- except he'll never hold officemonospaced
- industrial complex = industrial military complex yuri - at least get it right - and looks like Trump has plenty of ideas of how to start more wars.fadein11
- Typical halfwit 'debate' tactics. Pointing out meaningless semantics to shout 'You're wrong!' like a child, rather than focusing on the points made.********
- I don't understand why you think rattling the system is a good thing in his case. mind you, i said his case. Because I do think an individual like him would...sofakingback
- mess with the current system. Absolutely not in the way people are saying though. He would use his influence to move money towards his benefit and the people...sofakingback
- That support him. Thats the only rattling he would do. Nothing in his entires life work has suggested he would do anything differently than that.sofakingback
- Look at his primary: Majority of his money was spent on his business' That means major tax write offs for him and all profit.sofakingback
- You guys have never had a president like this so the concept is new to you, but mexico has had guys like this for president since the beginning. Mexico had a...sofakingback
- President sell have the country for his profit!!!! Do you understand what guys like that can do to a country? and I know deep down inside you're thinking: he...sofakingback
- would never do that, not to America. its to great. so proud in its history." He outsources all of his work to foreign workers! its black and white in your face!sofakingback
- Not sure if you guys are familiar with ex mexican president Carlos Salinas de Gortari. Do a little research on that motherfuckersofakingback
- Hes in fuckin exile because he was so corrupt. He bled the poor Mexican citizens dry. No regard or regret.sofakingback
- You guys are crying of some emails??? you have no idea what corruption is and what it does to a country. Trump will never be president, but stop lying to yoursesofakingback

They're not speaking out of concern for the country and global security. They're protecting the military industrial complex, crony capitalists and oligarchs that are control the west. The most dangerous part in supporting everyone that comes out against Trump is how the left is now supporting the neo cons.
They're the ones who lied to the American public about the threat Saddam Hussein posed in the lead up to the Iraq war. They lied about torture. Many of them got us to overthrow Gaddafi, and supporting Islamists across the region. They destroyed countries causing people to migrate to Europe and increasing the threat of terror globally.
To list some of the names, and I'm sure there's other with dubious histories, CIA and NSA Director Michael Hayden; Robert Zoellick, former deputy secretary of State and president of the World Bank; James Jeffrey, former deputy national security adviser to the White House; and former secretaries of Homeland Security Tom Ridge and Michael Chertoff... just look up who these people are. They don't give two fucks about the American public.
Does anyone remember the Bush presidency anymore? Because the Dems are now on the same side, and looking at their collusion during this election probably always on the same side as many of these criminals.
- It is so brutal that the Obama/Clinton administration is not that far off from the Bushes with regards to foreign policy.********
- It's unfortunate that the Republicans couldn't get a sane candidate nominated, to have a real debate about foreign policy.********
- However, Trump repeatedly blames the Iraq war and ISIS on "Bill Clinton, Obama, and Hillary" and always leaves out both Bushes.********
- And if you think America started being a "war country" with Bush I, you just haven't read back far enough. It's been a war country for a very long time.********
- nb is right, we need to stick to bush's policies with hills. corruption is prosperity, just look how wealthy its made hills. proof.yurimon
- nb - I agree, they will lose all their power if Trump becomes president and yes as if they care about the public - who does these days, do you think Trump does?fadein11

- We clearly won't agree on this but Trumps character has been assassinated by these groups. He's a threat to them, not us.IRNlun6
- You're conveniently ignoring the fact that just as many "neocons" are supporting Trump. Such as Dick Cheney, Sheldon Adelson, Rudy Giuliani...yuekit
- not a threat to us? wow - I think you may have to eat your words if the worst happens.fadein11
- Trump does go against the U.S. consensus on a few issues such as Russia, but he isn't really a peace candidate. He was in favor of the same Libyan interventionyuekit
- you mentioned, originally in favor of Iraq War, and wants to rip up the peace deal with Iran. Also supports torture, indefinite detention and other policiesyuekit
- Bush put into place.yuekit
- as NB said - the US has been at war pretty much continuously post WWII. It didn't start with Bush.fadein11
- ^ Yeah I agree, I mean the U.S. was invading the Philippines over 100 years before Iraq.yuekit
- U.S. imperialism is nothing new. But in recent history, Bush represented especially extreme version, and it's interesting that Trump agrees on many policies.yuekit

Do you really want to have a president who intentionally uses the "Many People Are Saying" preface in order to

I really hope Trump continues to stay far behind in the polls for the next few months. As we get closer and closer he's going to go more and more insane. Imagine he's behind 20+ points the week of the election. He's going to end up saying some craaaaaazy shit. Not that I can even guess what that crazy shit will be.
- His economic plan isn't helping either. It benefits the rich, and for some reason his most rabid followers don't seem to grasp that.monospaced

"Now I’m Canadian, which, although it certainly undermines the credibility of my observations on the Trump phenomenon in some respects, actually does have its advantages. The whole thing is curiously academic, for Canadians, watching our cousins to the south play hysterical tug-o-war with their children’s future. What’s more, even though I’m about as academically institutionalized as a human can be, I’m not an academic, and I have steadfastly resisted the tendency of the highly educated to surround themselves with people who are every bit as institutionalized—or at least smitten—by academic culture.
I belong to no tribe, at least not clearly. Because of this, I have Canadian friends who are, indeed, Trump supporters. And I’ve been whaling on them, asking questions, posing arguments, and they have been whaling back. Precisely because we are Canadian, the whole thing is theatre for us, allowing, I like to think, for a brand of honesty that rancour and defensiveness would muzzle otherwise.
When I get together with my academic friends, however, something very curious happens whenever I begin reporting these attitudes: I get interrupted. "But-but, that’s just idiotic/wrong/racist/sexist!" And that’s when I begin whaling on them, not because I don’t agree with their estimation, but because, unlike my academic confreres, I don’t hold Trump supporters responsible. I blame them, instead. Aren’t they the ‘critical thinkers’? What else did they think the ‘cretins’ would do? Magically seize upon their enlightened logic? Embrace the wisdom of those who openly call them fools?
Fact is, you’re the ones who jumped off the folk culture ship."

Here's what's going to happen.
Drumpf is going to destroy his campaign as much as he possibly can while smearing Hillary as much as he can.

They aren't "Killary" as idiots put it, and they aren't the devil himself Drumpf. By default they'll win.
