I have a feeling you didn't actually read a single one of those articles except for maybe the headlines. Not trying to insult you with that, but you do this so often.

Trumpers claim everything Trump does is "strategy".

He absolutely has none, but again, no one forced him to make the claim that he would.

Read his books.

Want to know Trump's strategy: Read his Book

"Republican rivals seeking to take on Donald Trump and wanting to know what to expect from him in Wednesday night’s debate might check out his book “Time to Get Tough” (which, conveniently, has been reissued in paperback with a new subtitle to match his campaign slogan, “Make America Great Again”).

All of The Donald’s basic campaign tactics are laid out there.

“I play to people’s fantasies,” Mr. Trump writes. “It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.”

Perception is reality, he writes. Mr. Trump projects himself as a winner, capable of being president. A large number of people have started to believe it.

“I’ll do nearly anything within legal bounds to win. Sometimes, part of making a deal is denigrating your competition.”

There has been plenty of denigrating so far in this campaign, of course. The challenge for other Republican candidates is to understand Mr. Trump’s approach while not stooping to name-calling. Trying to out-Trump Mr. Trump by mimicking him won’t work.

Ignoring him also doesn’t work. The candidates who stand up to Mr. Trump need to do it with substance. As many have suggested, calling him out on his lack of knowledge and foreign policy proposals exposes his weaknesses.

CNN says its debate format has been designed to encourage interaction among the candidates–in other words, conflict and confrontation.

But Mr. Trump won’t be able to get by on bellicose rhetoric alone. Voters are looking and will notice if he doesn’t offer substance. Yes, he will talk about trade and how the U.S. isn’t respected and how we have been continually bested by other nations, most notably China. But those points themselves do not make a campaign to be a national leader in a dangerous, complicated world.

Beyond seeking to put Mr. Trump in his place, the other candidates will be fighting to be true to themselves and get across their own messages.

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who had long been considered the frontrunner for the GOP nomination, is trailing Mr. Trump badly in the polls. He is still the establishment choice, and he has the most to lose in this debate. Mr. Bush’s debate performance in August was lackluster, and some are looking for evidence that he has the drive to not only to run for president but also to be commander in chief.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is quickly fading into obscurity. His campaign will weaken further if he doesn’t distinguish himself in this debate.

Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida both did well last time, and they will be seeking to keep up the momentum. A lot of attention will be paid to Carly Fiorina, whose performance in the “happy hour” debate in August kick-started momentum for her. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has lost the title as the loudest candidate in the race to Mr. Trump and has to provide a reason voters should keep paying attention to him.

In his book, Mr. Trump wrote: “The same assets that excite me in the chase, often, once they are acquired, leave me bored. For me, you see, the important thing is the getting, not the having.”

That’s the risk for voters–that Mr. Trump’s campaign has been a big publicity stunt and ego trip. Actually being president is about a lot more than getting attention and winning an election."

Did you read that story?

Cos I found this hilarious and fitting:

“I play to people’s fantasies,” Mr. Trump writes. “It’s an innocent form of exaggeration—and a very effective form of promotion.” -Trump

Do you actually read what you write cos I found this hilarious.

😂😂

I find it Hilarious how much Trump pisses you off.

Oh, lol. Now I see why you're flipping out and rage PMing me nastiness.

I didn't say "he has none" in regards to strategy, I was replying to your post on Trump's "obligation" in debating Sanders.

So you see, it's you who is at fault here and you should really apologize for calling me all those nasty names in here and especially the ones in PM. The question, will you be man enough or be petty?

Only a rtard would say this. Since you realize how stupid you are, now you moving goal posts.

So when it's shown that you made an error and attacked me in here and PM due to said error, you retort with more nonsense? Okay, I honestly expected slightly better from you.

You posted this^

You are impossible to deal with when you are in willful denial, idiot.

It was very childish for you to throw a conniption fit and rage PM me nastiness because you thought I said "Trump has no strategy", who cares, not the worst thing said about Trump. But when it's shown that you actually made the reading comprehension error, you resort to greater childish behavior.

Exceptionally poor form, TI

You said what you said.

"Trumpers claim everything Trump does is "strategy".

He absolutely has none, but again, no one forced him to make the claim that he would."

Willfull denial, shamefull. You accusing anyone of childish behavior is ironic.

I've explained it to you multiple times in here and PM. So either you're just too arrogant to admit that you made a reading comprehension error or you're an idiot immune to reason. Pick one; I don't really care at this point.

No, what you did is try and move goal posts from

"Trumpers claim everything Trump does is "strategy".

to

"I didn't say that"

Your a chicken eating idiot and a pathetic human being.

*Looks at thread*

Ooh.. Maybe this isn't a good time for this.

What the hell: What would happen if Trump decided to ditch the Republican party, and go third party?

The way I figure it, simply getting the nomination gave him legitimacy, so he'd leave the winner of a party that didn't back him, in most eyes. And, imost people aren't voting Trump because he's a conservative. Because he's not.. His own party shuns him because of core value issues. So if he goes, he brings most of his current voters with him.

And in addition, he gains many third party voters. Even if they don't like Trump, they'll be hungry for the precedent he'll set.

Add on the media frenzy from the move, and the hype of making history, and Hillary could be in for a tough time.

Thoughts?

Why ditch the republican party when he just got enough delegates to secure the nomination? Its already to late in many major states to get on the ballet as an independent. Literally yesterday he said anyone wanting to run as a third party now would be a fool.

If anyone is running third party it's Bernie. Bernie sanders to run against Hilary for stealing the nomination she deservedly won.

Would be quite the entertainment.
