I really don't think we want to get into arguments about draft dodging. There are soooo many of them to choose from. And Trump didn't run off to Canada or claim conscientious objector status like Bernie. Trump received legal student deferments and then when those were up, he went for his military physical and was found physically unfit to serve by a military doctor.


 Facts seem to be elusive to some.

She didn't want to make a big deal out of it but reported what happened to her boss. She said it was just one of those "Oh BTW, things." And then her boss told her not to say anything and that she was not to speak out against Trump. THAT is when she went to the police which was totally her choice.

You want to pretend that I'm making all this stuff up but it's all over the news. He was arrested. I didn't make that sh!t up and it has nothing to do with me disliking him. It's just a fact that is in the news right now. If I wanted to be bitchy about it I would have thrown some spin into it. All I said was what happened. And the fact that he was arrested means they had some reason to arrest him. They generally don't arrest you for no reason at all. So really, stop saying everything I post is anti Trump. This was simply a freakin news story.


 That makes zero sense.  She didn't want to make a big deal out of it--so she did?

Draft-Dodger Trump Said Sleeping Around Was My ‘Personal Vietnam’

 

Draft-dodger Donald Trump once said that the danger he faced from getting sexually transmitted diseases was his own “personal Vietnam.”

In a 1997 interview with shock jock Howard Stern, Trump talked about how he had been “lucky” not to have contracted diseases when he was sleeping around.

“I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world. It is a dangerous world out there. It’s scary, like Vietnam. Sort of like the Vietnam-era,” Trump said in a video that resurfaced Tuesday on Buzzfeed, “It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave soldier.”

Thank you for your service, Mr. Trump. serving your country must have been hell.

Youère a great and brave soldier.

 Her point is crystal clear. Yours...nope.

 Kids eat what is put in front of them. Obama was a child. There WAS no point to that analogy.

 That is simply put--a stupid comment.

There are people who are paid VERY WELL to predict who might do well in a presidential election--and EVERY ONE of them got the Trump phenomenon wrong.  So, to say he would not be a good president simply because he UNDERESTIMATED the number of votes he would get is foolish.

You know, the silent majority has been silent for a very long time. I think they are pi$$ed and/or were ignored in the polls.

People are also purposely lying to the poll takers this year. I would too. That is how pi$$ed I am about the current GOP henchmen.

I only read the OP so I don't know that this has been addressed, but according to a notable website the woman that wrote this article never worked for Trump:

Stephanie Cegielski, a little research. She never worked for the Trump campaign. She worked for a distant PAC. She portrayed herself as... Well, it's titled, "Open Letter to Trump Voters From His Top Strategist Turned Defector." She never was his top strategist. She was never close to the campaign. She was never part of it -- and even the leftist Snopes.com fact-checked it and came to that conclusion.

Okay, Snopes says:

WHAT'S TRUE: Stephanie Cegielski was a strategist for the Make America Great Again super PAC.

WHAT'S FALSE: Cegielski was Donald Trump's communications manager and top strategist.
