Donald Trump Campaign Manager Says Candidate 'Not Afraid' To Debate - 4 views

  •  
    Donald Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski says that the candidate isn't afraid of Thursday night's debate. "He's not afraid to take a question," he told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "Good Morning America." "The issue is an issue of fairness," he added, claiming that Fox News anchor Megyn...

    Donald Trump's campaign manager is saying that Donald trump is not afraid of losing the caucus because there is never a fair debate and he will still run and answer all the questions people throw at him.
  •  
    I think that Trump is pulling out of the debate, not because he's intimidated, but I think it may be a way of seeing how many supporters he has. At the end of the article, it says that there is expected to be substantially less viewers. I'm thinking that this is Trump's way of seeing how many suporters he has now, and see how hard he has to work in the future to get more suporters.

    "Presidential debates and their effects: An updated research roundup"
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    I can't help but say that the debates are where we see the best/worst in a candidate not when were watching the news or reading a paper.
  •  
    I think that in this case they are just like getting back at each other and being dramatic like that isn't what presidency is about at all, and if they are being childish now who knows what the future holds, nobody wants a childish president.
  •  
    The debates have effected very little votes this time around, not to mention, the candidates just bicker like nine year old kids. It's a waste of everyone's time, we don't learn any more about their ideas, we just hear them attack each other on how one deleted emails and how the other is sexist and wants to build a wall.
  •  
    In the debate they were trying to attack each other and their private stuff like the emails Clinton had deleted and Trump saying he hasn't paid taxes and they haven't said anything about their plans to "try" and make America great again.
  •  
    The debates - at least so far - have only helped Hillary's increase of voters. It appears that more and more people are figuring out that Donald Trump can be compared to that kid in elementary school who always has the same comback of "I know you are but what am I?". Personally, I don't like either of our candidates because I'm against some of both of their views, but I believe the debates are a waste of time. The largest reason people watch - in my opinion - is to see how many times Trump will interrupt Hillary, and how much they bicker.
  •  
    The 2 candidates in my opinion are very in maturate. Neither of them should be running for president. Also I think more people are starting to realize how bad Trump is for our country because Hillary's increase of voters.
  •  
    The debates have only proven that voters are now leaning more toward Hillary instead of Donald Trump because it brought up his past statements and views.

Shia LaBeouf Arrested After Allegedly Attacking 25-Year-Old During Anti-Trump Protest - 33 views

  •  
    Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New York early Thursday during a protest against President Donald Trump after he allegedly attacked a 25-year-old man - and video of the entire incident was posted online. The 30-year-old actor was taken into custody around 12:30 a.m.

  •  
    Not only did Shia have the courage to do this, but he kept going which was his mistake, and all outside the museum with his art in it. This could lead to multiple up riots, maybe even more violence. But Shia got off about scott free.
  •  
    If you don't know the background of Shia, you wouldn't understand why he went off like that. First off, the man he was yelling at was a neo nazi. He had said 1488 which is a reference to Hitler and the holocaust. Shia is Jewish, his name literally means praise god in Hebrew. Shia may have gone too far if it were just a common mistake, but when your ancestors have been killed in WW2, you're not going to be happy. He shouldn't have been arrested, the white supremacist should've for representing hate.
  •  
    I agree with Deven the man was just picking a fight and he got exactly what he wanted, nothing against Shia.
  •  
    I think it was wrong for that person to say that to Shia LaBeouf, that guy just want to see how mad he would get, most did it on purpose.
  •  
    I think that the guy got what he deserved. Maybe Shia shouldn't be so aggressive towards opposing sides of politics, like supporters, protesters, ect, but you can't fix or control somebody else's behavior and beliefs. So, since the man was pushing Shia's rage on and on, Shia snapped, and I believe the man got what he deserved.
  •  
    Everyone has there opinions and beliefs obviously and everyone is not going to get along, when you act out and hurt people for expressing there opinions you cant expect to not get punished. Especially when your around lots of people, you can't expect to not do or say anything.
  •  
    Shia could've used less violence but in a way I don't blame him because the man was saying things that were really bad and offended shia.
  •  
    I agree with Deven and Sydney. The man was representing hate and picking a fight. Shia wasn't all innocent but I don't blame him for his actions
  •  
    This is an example of growing tension between groups. nation seems divided by pro and anti trump people. the fact that people are speaking their mind is a positive, the fact that our president is causing so much negative uproar so early into his term is a negative.
  •  
    him using violence only builds support towards the opposite cause.
  •  
    The young man was representing hate and picking a fight. Shia wasn't innocent but I don't blame him for what he did.
  •  
    I agree with Jake, this fight shows the nation being further separated between pro-trump people and anti-trump people.
  •  
    I agree with Lauren that the man was picking a fight and I also don't blame Shia for his actions either.
  •  
    I don't think it was right for Shia to do what he did but I don't blame him and I see why he did what he did.
  •  
    I think this is kind of stupid, Shia should have had the self control not to get into that type of interaction especially because he's a well known person it kind of puts a shadow over him in some ways
  •  
    Shia should of had some self control, but I see why he did it and don't blame him as well.
  •  
    I agree with Deven. The Neo Nazi was just trying to pick a fight because he knew Shia's background. I understand why Shia did what he did but maybe he does deserve some type of consequence for his actions. Even though the man was trying to pick a fight Shia could've easily just been the bigger person and should've had the self control to walk away.
  •  
    The man he attacked shouldn't have said what he said so I think Shia was justified to do what he did. The man was asking for it.
  •  
    I don't blame Shia for fighting this man. Shia could have taken care of it in a different manner but it was out of reaction and the man was pushing his limits. Shia should have not been taken into custody for this.
  •  
    I think he did nothing wrong, he was defending what he stood for and the Neo Nazi was saying unfair things.
  •  
    I think maybe hitting him was going far but he was telling this man to knock it off by what he did to him which is because ti disrupts the social environment. That wasn't the place for someone to talk about hitler and i think it was fine that he taught that man a lesson.
  •  
    I don't think Shia is wrong for fighting the man, but she could of did something different then fighting him.
  •  
    I agree with most of the comments above, The man that Shia attacked should have not said anything to him because the guy just wanted a reaction from him. Also Shia was in the wrong for attacking the man, he could have just walked away and not put his hands on the man.
  •  
    I believe that the comments of the man who claimed victim were wrong. However, everything comes down to perspective. The whole debate is whether or not Shia being arrested for assault was right or wrong. Both sides are at fault. Shia should have had more control especially due to his celebrity standing. Everything a celebrity does is under close inspection and is able to be blown way out of proportion. The man was obviously saying the things he was to get under Shia's skin. However, assaulting someone with physical scrathches being documented is immature. Be the bigger person and walk away.
  •  
    Shia LaBeouf attacked a 25-year old man for saying "Hitler did nothing wrong" outsid eo ghis museum. I believe he could have handled the situation better than the way he did, i understand he was sticking up for what he believes in but he could have approached the guy a different way.
  •  
    With all due respect, I don't believe that most people saying that he should react differently would handle the situation peacefully. You'd be outraged if there was a genocide of Christians that had happened not even a century ago, and a random stranger (knowing you are of that religion) said something similar to "Hitler did nothing wrong", you'd be livid. It is essentially implying "they deserved it." Yes, he has a right to share his opinion. But opinions are more along the lines of "I prefer coffee over tea", not "I think that Jews are less than human, therefore Hitler did nothing wrong because they deserve to die." But it's not simply that, it goes beyond the Holocaust. Jews were the world's scapegoat for CENTURIES before the Holocaust. They've been targeted for centuries, and if I were religious and devoted to my religion and somebody said that to me. I'd more than likely react the same way. Yes, Shia deserved to be punished, he assaulted the dude. But the other guy had it coming for egging him on at what was supposed to be a peaceful protest.
  •  
    I think the man was trying to pull a publicity stunt on the actor because he's aware of some of his past actions and he purposely tried to get a rise out of him. Was it legal? Yes. Was it Right? No
  •  
    I agree with Reed, the person did this to get a rise out of the actor.
  •  
    The protester was clearly trying to upset Shia enough for him to attack him. Because once that happened, he was arrested and it was put all over the news, making him look like he attacked an innocent person for absolutely no reason.

Gallup: Trump job approval drops to 37% - 3 views

shared by lmakram on 20 Mar 17 - No Cached
  •  
    The approval ratings, Trump's worst since taking office two months ago, come as FBI Director James Comey is expected to tell lawmakers that there is no evidence for the President's unverified claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower during the election.
  •  
    " Aside from the controversy over Trump's wiretapping claim, the latest poll numbers suggest growing dissatisfaction with his performance following the chaotic rollout of Republicans' plan to replace the Affordable Care Act and reaction to his travel ban that has faced stiff legal opposition." Trumps approval ratings are the worst that they've been the entire time he has been in office.
  •  
    I think a lot of people haven't approved of Trump ever since the beginning and he hasn't really had enough time to prove his worth so people are only continuing to disapprove of his actions.

Biden seeks to close any path for Trump win in race's final days | AllSides - 4 views

    Biden might actually win, It appears the odds are stacked against Trump
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    It looks as though it's going to be a close race between the two. Biden is in the lead by a few so he might just win by a hair.
  •  
    It was pretty close at first but Biden is definitely going to pull through and win.
  •  
    There is no way Trump is going to win, Biden is definitely winning.
  •  
    It's pretty crazy how the red states flipped I was definitely more interested in the presidential election than the last one.
  •  
    I was not expecting some of the states that were red to flip to blue as they did, I was more into seeing who was winning in this election because of how close the race was.
  •  
    I wasn't expecting so many red states to flip. I see why Trump says it's rigged, however, can he find proof?
  •  
    there was a lot of events that I didn't expect nor intend on happening, I believe that both parties at this time are just in it to win it

'I concede NOTHING!' Trump says shortly after appearing to acknowledge Biden won the el... - 5 views

  •  
    It's unprofessional for Trump to have such awful sportsmanship towards his opponents and childish of him to make false claims continuously causing unnecessary commotion unless he gets his way.
  • ...5 more comments...
  •  
    I think eventually he will give up and admit biden won.
  •  
    It is very childish of him to make these statements and he should just give up.
  •  
    This is very childish even though multiple news stations have said that Biden has won he needs to just give up and admit his defeat.
  •  
    I think he needs to carry himself differently, that is not how a leader would act, crying on Twitter. If he thinks the election was rigged then he should move in silence while he takes things to court, instead of doing the most.
  •  
    I am not saying I am for or against Trump, but he needs to act like an adult and maybe people will vote if he ever runs again
  •  
    I think eventually you have to admit you lost. Whether or not he believes the election was rigged there simply isn't enough proof that has been brought forward.
  •  
    whether you vote for Trump or not I still believe that he should have more sportsmanship because this isn't his first go around. admitting that he lost is definitely a big step because that could mean failure in his eyes and he doesn't want to disappoint people, so I definitely applaud him for standing his ground with his beliefs

Trump Twist - 3 views

  •  
    It would be strange to see but it could be plausible, Trump isn't exactly safe with his words and what he does, so it wouldn't be that far off to maybe assume that he might be trying to find votes that don't exist.
  • ...1 more comment...
  •  
    There are many things Trump has tried to convince people. It is very unlikely that there is voting fraud by millions of thousands. It is going to take more than just saying that to make it true. He needs to find evidence that this has been proven true. If there is then I could see his point, but without it, it makes it hard to believe.
  •  
    Trump has lost and he needs to accept that. There is no evidence of voting fraud in the thousands and millions, and the votes he needed aren't just magically going to appear. Without concrete proof, this is just an adult throwing a temper tantrum.
  •  
    This is possible but at some point, you have to give up. There is no proof beyond a reasonable doubt that the election was rigged so maybe its time to stop trying.

Mexico Disappointed at Peña Nieto Meeting with Trump - 1 views

  •  
    MEXICO CITY - Mexicans responded angrily to what they saw as a weak performance by President Enrique Peña Nieto, who appeared to let Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump emerge unscathed from a meeting Wednesday. Peña Nieto tried gamely to take the high road and avoid arguing with Trump, who didn't waver an inch in his plans to build a wall along the two countries' border.

Highlights of Donald Trump's Immigration Speech and Mexico Trip - 3 views

  •  
    And the other highlights from his speech: * Mr. Trump made the case that Washington elites and the media have put the focus, wrongly, on the plight of an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country, rather than the Americans impacted by their presence.

Michelle Obama: The Clinton surrogate that could finish off Trump - 6 views

  •  
    "When they go low," Clinton says on the campaign trail, "We go high," her supporters shout back. In 2008 and 2012, President Barack Obama's campaign aides anointed Michelle Obama "The Closer." This year, Hillary Clinton may well designate her most popular surrogate the starter, the reliever and the pinch-hitter, too.
  •  
    The first lady, Michelle Obama has been known for her ability to persuade and has since been called "the closer" for her husbands previous campaigns. Just recently Mrs. Obama opened up with sexual assault cases against Trump, (not to her of course but past charges or claims). Thus being the second time this year alone that Michelle has connected with her audience and left her point clear with support.
  •  
    In her speeches you can tell she is very passionate about what she is saying. She is a democrat so many will say she's only taking Hillary's side because of that, but it goes deeper than that. She believes that Hillary winning will have people standing up against Trump and his bad comments towards women. She doesn't think that what he says is an okay thing for anyone to say, especially someone who might become our president.

10 minutes that could change US-China history - CNN.com - 6 views

    "The 10-minute conversation between US President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen was a major break in the accepted protocol -- something that evidently does not much bother Mr. Trump.

Trump says 'all is going well' on immigration order amid questions and confusion - 3 views

    President Trump continued Monday to strongly defend his immigration order temporarily banning entry into the United States for migrants from seven Muslim-majority countries and refugees from around the world. In a series of tweets, Trump sought to minimize its impact on travelers following confusion, angst and two days of protests that have erupted across the country since he signed the order.

    I think it is ridiculous how Trump rallies come to such violence and in some cases Donald Trump even supports the violence by saying in one of his rallies that is someone says something negative about him to throw a tomato at them.
