Trump calls Warren 'Pocahontas' at event honoring Native American veterans

[Silver Pines]

It is called projection, and Trump masterfully is in her head.

She is a lame brain for trying to catch up with him.

"Masterfully"   

So who was he talking about, if not Warren?

Maybe they should have had it in the room with pictures from the Jamestown colony?

 Right!     I am an American,my People founded and built this country. You want to be a racist tribe..go for it. You are NOT my People.

I am fine with Andrew Jackson and the Indian Removal act. The Indian was far from noble. To much for a short post, but they should be thankful it was Christians who came here.

It almost feels to me like we have 6 year old as President. I hate the childish name calling. It belittles the office IMO.  His base may like it, but I don’t think it’s increasing the 46.1% of the vote he got last time.  Sadly, I just don’t think he can help himself.

What does Trump have to increase? Seems 300 electoral votes Be enough...Arrrggh.

Past results are not a predictor of future performance.  You have to consider the MOV in key states, the number of people who voted third party, and low turnout among certain demographics. 

Plus, any number of things can occur between now and then - both good and bad.

Yep, an asteroid could hit the earth.

Point still rests. 300 EV.  BTW, Trump has gained my full s'port. I am happy ..actually ecstatic so far. So there is THAT.   

[Silver Pines]

Complete moron.   But for some reason that D@mned fool just keeps winning!

@DiogenesLamp

I thought it was about the country "winning", not some individual.

No wall, no tax cuts, Planned Parenthood still being funded, Obamacare still with us...

I think there's a lot of Trump hatred out there.  As a result, I think the Dems will be very motivated in 2020.  Further, I think Trump beat an incredibly flawed candidate in Hillary Clinton -- in fact, she might have been the only candidate he could have beaten and he only got 46.1% of the vote despite how horrible she was as a candidate.  I just think he'll have to increase beyond his base to reach 270 electoral votes in 2020.  JMO because.......

I think things fell extremely right for Trump in 2016.  Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania account for 46 electoral votes. This election was effectively decided by 107,000 people in these three states. Trump won the popular vote there by that combined amount. That amounts to 0.09 percent of all votes cast in this election.  If Clinton had won these states, she could have sealed the presidency with 274 total electoral votes.

I expect the next Democratic candidate will be better than Hillary, probably much better.  I think he needs to expand his base yet I've seen virtually nothing that he's done to increase his base.  I have it at 3-1 that he won't serve a second term.  Not surprisingly, I've found no one who wants to take the other side.

The Trump hatred is democrats/regressives...they will always hate on. Conservative Cruz voters , like me, were worried 'Bout electing a democrat/liberal.... so far so good , Trump is picking us up.

Seems that the economy is where it will be. That is why this tax cut must be...now ..not set off until 2018 for the corporate 20% cut.

Democrat/regresives are in disarray. Without the black vote they will fail in 2020. Trump has some solid outreach there, bring jobs. Unless democrats run another black, not likely they are going to improve here.

If the gope will quit running defense for the democrat/regressive/left..... President Trump is a shoe-in in 2020.

Just the way this Simple Bricklayer sees it.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Bullshit.  He's called Warren "Pocahontas" in the past, it is reasonable for her to think he is again referring to her.  And, Sarah Sanders saying “What most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career." is proof enough for me that Trump was indeed talking about her.

Seems he is also in your head as well.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

"Masterfully"

@IsailedawayfromFR

That's the beauty of it.

He does not call her any names, does not refer to her by name, says others are saying things.

Yet everyone knows who Pocahontas is.  He is in her head bigtime.

Looking at the data that I'm seeing, Trump only got 46.1% of the vote against an incredibly flawed candidate.  He ran the table on key toss-up states by a razor-thin margin.  His approval ratings are in the mid-30's.  He's doing little to nothing to expand beyond his base yet somehow you've concluded Trump is picking up Conservative/Cruz voters and is a "shoe-in in 2020" if the GOP quits running defense for the Dems.  I'd love to know what data/evidence you have to support your assertions (beyond anecdotes of course).

You mean like your non- anecdote of an "incredibly flawed candidate"...Please. You have your opinion.. I have mine. Live it ,love it ..I do not care.

I have 300 EV as data/evidence...  When a bush could not ever do better.

Sarah Sanders Asked If Trump’s Pocahontas Comment Is Offensive. Her Response Set The Room On Fire
Daily Caller, Nov 27, 2017, Benny Johnson

<snip>

At Monday’s White House press briefing, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders was asked by a reporter why Trump felt the need to say something that is “offensive to many people ” at the ceremony. Sanders bluntly responded, “I think what most people find offensive is Senator Warren lying about her heritage to advance her career.”

I explained the data/evidence I was using as to why I thought the 300 EV was a concern in 2020.  I referenced his approval ratings, his results in 3 key states, his loss in the popular vote, and the fact that I've seen little attempt to appeal beyond his base.  I simply asked for the data and evidence you had for your assertions that Trump is picking up Conservative/Cruz voters and is a "shoe-in in 2020" if the GOP quits running defense for the Dems. If it's just your opinion ( or your guess or your hope or your wish), fair enough.  If you have actual data/evidence, I'd love to see it because I haven't seen it.  Unfortunately, many times when I ask for data/evidence, it can't be produced yet folks want to argue with me about their opinions.  I'd prefer to discuss data/evidence because I know I'm unlikely to change someone's opinion.  Unfortunately, many don't want to discuss/provide actual evidence/data.  I find that rather sad.  JMO.

@IsailedawayfromFR

Confronting simple facts with "Trump's in your head!" is not an argument. 

[Emjay]

And?   Warren is a liar who doesnt deserve any respect.

Sarah Huckabee just answered a question about that at the press attack.  She pointed out that Warren made an untrue claim for political reasons and wondered why the press was not interested in that aspect of the story.  She's good.

[Silver Pines]

@IsailedawayfromFR

Yes, everyone knows, so why are you pretending like it was some brilliant feint?  It's pretty clear and straightforward, like you said. 

Trump is in a lot of heads.  Well, he's a chubster, so I guess there's a lot of him to go around.

[Emjay]

He can't help himself...he's a 71 YO leopard that can't change his stripes. He wouldn't anyway, because his loyal Orange Brigadiers just lap it up!

You make no friends for whatever your cause is by saying things like 'loyal Orange Brigadiers just lap it up."

You are demeaning half of the people on this board, many of whom are probably smarter than you.

Actually, I wish he hadn't brought it up at that particular gathering but I'm not gonna go crazy about it.  It was a Trumpism and some of them hit the mark.

[Emjay]

Well, we all know the 'noble savage' thing was a complete myth and we all know that some unfair things happened but, for gosh sake, do we have to fight the Indian wars and the Confederate war all over again.

You are more optimistic than the dems are.  They have absolutely no good candidate.  Hillary would jump at the chance but I think even the dems are too smart to put her out there again.

Then we have the old commie, Bernie, who will be about 100 and we have 'handsy' Biden.

Or they could go with an unknown rising star like .... well ... thinking, thinking.

As for Trump running again, when he first won, I thought he would hate the job, hate the pressure, hate having to live in the White House and work every day.

But, I was wrong.  He's risen to every occasion and in spite of all the unfair press and attacks from unworthy people, he retains enthusiasm and Insouciance.

You may hate him, he may embarrass you but, hey, I think he will run again and win.

IF he gets his tax plan through and IF he repeals Bammycare and IF he get that wall built and IF he brings back jobs,  I don't think he has anything to worry about.  IF he doesn't he has a lot to worry about, as those are the issues that he campaigned on.

Whatever. I have no doubt many of those who kneel at Trump's feet are smarter than me. It makes me chortle when those who continue to take shots at "Lyin' Ted" complain about being lumped in as Orange Brigadiers.

The difference between now and 2020 is that whoever runs against Trump will be ready for battle, unlike the last election. If Trump runs again, it will be even dirtier, probably one of the dirtiest, slimiest political campaigns in American history. 60% or more of Republican voters will likely stay with him, which portends well for the primary season.
