" great turnout you guys were great thanks for coming through".. like those people were there to support his visit
Or are people gonna vote for a person that was gonna throw canned whole chickens at a bunch of hurricane victims but had to be stop and told to just shoot paper towel at them

We will see. That view performance today has some people pissed that US position on Israel has not and apparently will not change.
There are a lot one issue voters out there and Israel is that issue.
Curious what will happen in Michigan and Wisconsin.

Glad that she’s acknowledging you playa. Step proud! Myself and, I’m sure, other BGOL members see you as one us no matter who you love. Your right to love whomever you want is safe under Harris. Thank for your vote.
Shhh…. Don’t say that out loud
You may get “black balled” by your friends.
Wait till you get in the booth
Just warning you .. lol
Black Democrats who don't support Israel don't get elected. Trumps says you ain't Israeli if you don't vote for me. Where's the outrage? She is for a two state solution. Trump is for white people, dictators and himself. None that helps Palestinians. If your one issue is Palestinian suffering and the candidate you select is Stein or Trump, you are not being serious. You are being emotional. Which is an ironic reason to not vote for a woman.
Textbook example of a blueGOL democrat.Niggas as Trump rallies like..
“I’m not one of THEM! I’m a GOOD black!”
You’re white so it’s no surprise that you’re a trump dick sucker.
Stop calling us n words or I’ll request to have your account banned.
well those people better get ready if trump wins. netanyahu and trump are besties
Yes. Trump offers nothing of value in my eyes. I grew up around drug dealers and murderers, and they had at least one redeeming quality. I'd question why Trump followers support him, but they typically can't elaborate on any reason, or they're too cowardly to admit they're in it for the racism.
ain't nobody worried about gay folks when the whole republican trump maga party trying to take out everybody but the white man
What agenda? Trump's biggest financial backer is GAY ASF
If there’s any overarching commonality to draw between Donald Trump and Peter Thiel, it’s that rarely do the two men say or do what’s expected.

Peter Thiel: 'I Am Proud to Be Gay'
00:35
In any other election, the idea of an openly gay, avowed libertarian member of Silicon Valley’s elite addressing the Republican National Convention on the same night as the nominee would seem, well, unconventional, to say the least. At this point, however, it’s well understood that most things about this election — and the speaker in question, Peter Thiel — are just that.
Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal, made history Thursday night when he became the first person to publicly announce to the GOP convention that he is gay.
"Every American has a unique identity," said Thiel. "I am proud to be gay. I am proud to be a Republican. But most of all, I am proud to be an American."
The remarks were greeted with applause — a somewhat shocking turn of events considering the fact that the party had just approved one of the most anti-LGBT platforms imaginable, complete with opposition to marriage equality and bathroom choice for transgender people, as well as an endorsement of the medically discredited practice of "conversion therapy." Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, Trump's pick for vice president, is also a controversial figure within LGBT advocacy circles; last year, he signed a so-called "religious freedom" bill that was widely perceived to be a veiled attempt at enshrining anti-LGBT discrimination into law.
But Thiel seems utterly unconcerned with legislation like that. Nor does he seem to care about newer measures, like North Carolina's House Bill 2, that are specifically designed to keep transgender people out of the bathrooms that correspond with their gender identities.
"When I was a kid, the great debate was about how to defeat the Soviet Union. And we won," he said Thursday. "Now we are told that the great debate is about who gets to use which bathroom. This is a distraction from our real problems. Who cares?"
Thiel sent shock waves throughout the mostly Democratic Silicon Valley when news broke earlier this year that he would run to be a delegate for Donald Trump in California. The 48-year-old has called technological progress “the single most important issue” to him and the key to solving all the world’s problems. Trump, by contrast, has said he would “close up” parts of the internet in response to terrorism, and proposed boycotting the nation’s top tech company, Apple, until it agreed to help the FBI break into the iPhone of one of the San Bernardino shooters.

Most people don’t fully understand what Thiel sees in Trump; he did not respond to NBC News’ request for comment, and his words of support at the convention were somewhat vague. Thiel talked about the need to fix the country's "broken economy," end "stupid wars," and "rebuild America" with a non-politician like Trump.
But if there’s any overarching commonality to draw between Trump and Thiel, it’s that rarely do the two men say or do what’s expected.
To be sure, there are other similarities as well, which taken together may explain Thiel’s support for Trump. Both are, after all, hugely successful businessmen.

After putting his Stanford undergrad and law degrees to use by clerking on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and trading derivatives for Credit-Suisse in the 1990s, Thiel developed the online payments company PayPal, which eBay bought in 2002 for $1.5 billion. PayPal’s founders and members, known as the “PayPal Mafia,” went on to create some of the country’s leading tech giants — including LinkedIn, SpaceX, Tesla, Yelp and YouTube.
Thiel also went on to do great things himself. In 2004, he made one of the earliest investments in Facebook -- a $500,000 gamble that turned into close to $500 million. The same year, Thiel co-founded Palantir Technologies, which creates data-mining software that helps government agencies track down terrorists and other criminals. He also founded three successful venture capital firms — Founders Fund, Mithril and Valar — the latter two named after fantasy objects and beings found in the writings of J. R. R. Tolkien, one of Thiel’s favorite authors.

Right. That shit about to bombs away if Orange gets in. Wiped off the MAP
The only, and I do mean ONLY funny thing that would happen if Trump wins is watching these Muslims hell bent against Kamala see Trump completely finish Gaza and Lebanon off.
