Yeah, that was overboard. Not that I think Trumps thinks that, just, well, it is that "I am the Only Way'' that he has repeated so often sounds so much like when Christians say that about Jesus. That put's me off too. When I first heard that coming out of him I just sat there stunned. And then he repeated it over and over.

He's the only one who can change the way the Establishment is being run
And THAT is exactly what he told you isn't it. He is 'the only one'. He brags about it and has hammered it over and over. He is the ONLY one. Does this not sound, well, sensationalist to you?
Maybe even 'messianic' ?
Let's not get crazy here, messianic is a bit too 'religious' for me.

The proof is in the pudding. As they say.
Unfortunately trump doesn't want to share his pudding.

Who said he was under their sway? And, did you read the articles?

So now real estate corruption with the Mob isn't actually corruption, because it's Trump and everyone's doing it?
Can you show that he personally made the decision to work with the mob and not that he was just approving a decision made by a project manager?
Also if he was so connected to the mob why didn't the FBI or anybody else label him a "mob associate" ("the FBI's term of art for those under the sway of organized crime".)? Or seek indictment?

Also, is Hillary off the hook then because the FBI never sought indictment?

The real Donald Trump..... Hmm. Before the tape and before I knew about the rape lawsuit against Trump, below is what I knew.
Wanted to build a impenetrable wall on the southern border to keep illegals out -- CHECK.
Wanted to aggressively deport illegals presently here, going as far as calling for a deportation force -- CHECK.
Characterized illegals as--in many cases--being drug dealers, rapists and otherwise criminal -- CHECK.
Wanted to ban immigrants--from places like Syria--from entering the US until "extreme filtering" is in place -- CHECK.
Used inappropriate language to characterize woman, like Rosy Odonnell and Carly Fiorina and others -- CHECK.
No past experience which pertains directly to the role of president, other than maybe his business dealings -- CHECK.
This is a small snippet of what I knew back during teh primaries and why I'd never vote for him, given there're many other better choices--being Bush, Kasich, Cruz, Rubio and others. The rape lawsuit and the tape and other allegations which have emerged only solidify how I feel about him.
The real Donald Trump is a buffoon! Not presidential. To vote for him is--IMHO--disrespecting the responsibility we have as voters.
You are getting played dude, just like I got played by Obama, and just like a lot of liberals I know are getting played by Hillary. For some people it will still take a few more election cycles to get it.

He said/she said, you chose to believe somebody that waits 20+yrs before coming forward, I chose to believe in innocent until shown to be guilty. Anybody can say anything and file charges, happens all the time.
Wanted to build a impenetrable wall on the southern border to keep illegals out -- CHECK.
OK... And you have a problem with border security???
Wanted to aggressively deport illegals presently here, going as far as calling for a deportation force -- CHECK.
Again OK... You don't like laws to be enforced???
Characterized illegals as--in many cases--being drug dealers, rapists and otherwise criminal -- CHECK.
First, technically since they are in the USA illegally they 'are' criminals. but...
2014 (most recent publication) 679,996 illegal aliens were apprehended (Source: See table 34), of those 679,996 illegals 315,943 were deported (Source: See page 2 figure 1), I don't know why the big disconnect between alien apprehended and alien deported, but of those aliens deported more than half 56% were 'convicted' of crime.
So, approximately 1/4 of all the 'illegal' aliens apprehended in the USA were convicted criminals and deported.
Also maybe the disconnect I mentioned above could be due to some of apprehended illegal aliens being sent to Federal prison and not deported, that would bump up that 1/4 a little.
Wanted to ban immigrants--from places like Syria--from entering the US until "extreme filtering" is in place -- CHECK.
OK, so again he's not saying "never allow them to enter" he's saying better background checks, I don't have an issue with that, we kinda do have on going hostilities with some of the Countries in the Middle East.
Used inappropriate language to characterize woman, like Rosy Odonnell and Carly Fiorina and others -- CHECK.
IMO this whole OMG Trump said mean things is BS, people really need to stop walking around looking to be offended by something. 'stop being a bunch of whining little brats'. Grow up the world can be and is a mean, dangerous place, and the sooner you learn to roll with the punches the better off you'll be.
No past experience which pertains directly to the role of president, other than maybe his business dealings -- CHECK.
Yay! Somebody that's not a career politician!
This is a small snippet of what I knew back during teh primaries and why I'd never vote for him, given there're many other better choices--being Bush, Kasich, Cruz, Rubio and others. The rape lawsuit and the tape and other allegations which have emerged only solidify how I feel about him.
Yep, he's not my first choice either, but IMO a Clinton Presidency would be far worse, and with no viable 3rd party candidate...
The real Donald Trump is a buffoon! Not presidential. To vote for him is--IMHO--disrespecting the responsibility we have as voters.
IMO not voting for him, is allowing a continuation of the globalist policies and the spreading of the already present corruption, and disrespecting the responsibility we have as Americans.
