Trump's campaign, continuing to amuse. Laughing

I'm continuously surprised at how many people think he's a legitimate candidate and take him seriously, though.

I think you're confused: this guy is a GOP strategist, but he's not a member of Trump's team. The GOP establishment hates Trump, and I suspect this guy is one of their lackeys.

let's take a short look at the field

bernie, actually blamed the paris attacks on global warming. so he's basically an old man yelling at the sky

hillary, her campaign strategy is to shut the hell up outside of choreographed events. but even the "debates" slanted in her favor don't help

jeb, he's hillary but with a smaller penis and apparently speaks spanish

rubio, jeb light

cruz, bucked his own party a few times but accomplished nothing, didn't really grow a pair until trump came along

trump, running as a caricature of what people think republicans are. the media, rnc, dnc all hate him but he's filling stadiums.

our country is screwed no matter what anyway so I'm going trump just to keep this train wreck going

So he thinks he'll pull them away from Trump to another GOP candidate by insulting them or something? lol

I hate Donald trump and don't want him to be president but say childless single man masturbate to anime porn is really offensive to anime lover and otaku,s and I am an otaku I really love anime and manga its more then a hobby for me and reason like this I don't admit to people I am an otaku but my friends. seriously can people stop think anime is porn just because it show ass or breast doesn't mean it porn it just means it for a more mature audience.

Ever since Trump joined the race, it's pretty much been a contest to see who can insult who the best.

This guy did not win.

As a childless, single woman who masturbates to anime, I'm quite insulted to see the GOP once again discrediting the importance of women voters. Laughing

Amen! xD I was thinking the same thing while reading this xD But, you know, women don't masturbate. =P

We don't? O_o I never got that memo....

I find it insulting that hentai is the only anime refereence the jerk has, we've had anime coiming over here since the 80s and hentai is the only genre he can think of.

He didn't say hentai he said anime. You know there's gotta be people that get turned on by DBZ


Trump will make anime great again. Have you seen the anime coming out lately? It's weak, we're losing. Anime's not a winner anymore. He'll get a Sunrise to start making shows like Cowboy Bebop & Gundam. He's got connections with Japan; Japanese people love him, they always come out to his rallys. It'll be the biggest, most luxurious, most classy anime you've ever seen.

As a Brit, I am watching events unfold with increasing horror. Republican candidates have been in a steady downward spiral since the 1960's.
Nixon - Amoral shyster
Reagan - B movie hack
Bush Senior - Complete nobody
Bush Junior - Grade A moron
Palin - Oh dear Lord
Romney - Cold blooded zombie
And now we Trump. A have the man, baring a complete miracle, that will be this year's Republican candidate. A man whose every utterance on TV is like an ISIS recruitment video.
I would like to say that there is no chance in hell of him being elected. But we all forget that G W Bush was elected, twice. That he won in 2004 still beggars belief.
Plus of course there is what he will be up against. Most likely will be the Ice Maiden of Washington. Miss Lady Macbeth herself, Hilary Clinton. Hardly the person to inspire any kind of loyalty or devotion. Then there's your very own Jeremy Corbyn. Mr Bernie Sanders, an elderly socialist whose sheer honesty and decency seem rather quaint.
I would love to see Sanders win and win big. Much like Corbyn did over here. But when you consider what is lined up against the two.
I mean Sanders v Trump. Well at it will be different. At least they will be different. None of this 'could put a fag paper between them' nonsense.

Rick Wilson is an establishment Republican operative who worked for Romney in 2012. Like most of his brethren he is shocked at the direction his party has taken this year. His remark was designed to smear Trump voters, not support them.

I was amused when Chris Hayes and the others in the discussion just nodded their heads as if they, too, saw masturbation to anime as an normal behavior among the single males in the Alt-Right.

And AltRight avatars aside, aren't real anime fans the ones posting all those Attack on Titan mashups, heckling Trump's Mexico plans? Laughing

(It was the year the great Wall went up...)

Supporting an arrogant, smug, lowest common denominator-pandering garbage heap of a human being is much more disgusting than being a childless single male who masturbates to Japanese animation.

I wouldn't debase myself by stumping for a proto-fascist who never told a single truth in his life. Now that's something that should make people clear their browser history.

It's okay to masterbate to comic books and western cartoons then? I mean why else would he only bring up anime/manga and not other forms of media.
