REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Donald Trump has told terminally ill people to “hang on” and vote for him.
Speaking at a rally in the battleground state of Nevada, Trump said that it was important that people voted for him.
He said it was a “magnificent chance for justice” for supporters to replace the “failed, corrupt establishment”.
He told the crowd that he would repeal and replace Obamacare and show “America is back”.
He then said that voter turnout would be important, prefacing his comments:
“I say kiddingly, but I mean it. I don’t care how sick you are.
“I don’t care if you just came back from the doctor and he gave you the worst possible prognosis, meaning: it’s over – you won’t be around in two weeks.
It doesn’t matter – hang on until 8 November, get out and vote. All we’re going to say is we love you and we will remember you always.
“Get out and vote.”
Nevada is one of the states that Trump will be aiming to win for the Republicans after it was held by Barack Obama in 2012. However, its six electoral college votes are a toss-up at the moment, with both he and Hillary Clinton leading various polls.
However, a number of swing states are now leaning towards Clinton, two new polls show.
Polls released by Politico/Morning Consult and CNN/ORC show Clinton with a six-point and five-point lead, respectively.

This numpty is barking mad, how sad for America!
@Gus Sheridan: Hillary is the one who loves starting wars.
@Gus Sheridan:
No sense of humour. Or you just read the headline. Did you miss the bit where he said was just kidding?
@Fred Johnson: no, we all read the full quote.
“I say kiddingly, but I mean it. I don’t care how sick you are.”
Its better than Hillary getting dead people to vote for her.
Does he actually think before he opens his mouth or does he think his baby, black, sexist, crippled, terminally ill gags are funny. The man’s a looper!
@ Gus..how worrying for the planet. This clown could be the most powerful man on the planet by November. With an ego that’s now completely uncontrollable, no political or statesman acumen whatsoever and the most homophobic xenophobic, sexist unintelligent ape ever to go for the office of President, be assured, if he does get in we’re on for a worrying 5 years.
You done joke terminally ill patients. I’m suffering with a degenerative Illness. So not ok!
Ann are you suggesting terminally ill people don’t have a sense of humour?
@Gus Sheridan: to vote for Trump is on the top of my Fücket List.
Hes still a numpty
@Congress Tart:
He was kidding during the full quote. You definitely don’t have a sense of humour.
@Fred Johnson:
Yes he was definitely kidding. But the least funny of all,for the elderly and termnally ill was Hillary obfuscating on ‘Healthcare’ earlier this yr.
—”Medicare-for-all is not economically feasible.—-”
In short Clinton said ”we are not gonna take care of you” but we will take great care of ‘The Clinton Foundation’.
SANDERS: There is one major country that does not guarantee health care to all people. There is one major country–the United States–which ends up spending almost three times per capita what they do in the U.K. guaranteeing health care to all people, 50 percent more than they do in France guaranteeing health care to all people, far more than our Canadian neighbors, who guarantee health care to all people.
CLINTON: We share the goal of universal health care coverage. But I think the people deserve to know how this would work. If it’s Medicare for all, then you no longer have the Affordable Care Act, because the Affordable Care Act is based on the insurance system. So if you’re having single-payer, you need to level with people about what they will have at the end of the process. Based on every analysis I can find, the numbers don’t add up, and many people will be worse off than they are now.—”In other words Hillary Clinton expects dying people in the direst of straits to emphatise with Hillary witholding of a better ‘Healthcare’ .

@Patrick J O’CONNOR: Nobody is gonna die on the streets of the USA when Donald Trump is POTUS.
—”. But I say all the time, you can call it anything you want. People are not going to die in the middle of the street. People are not going to die on the sidewalk if I’m president, okay.—”
That’s more than OK with the homeless who are dying in Obama’s America and will get lots worse if Hillary Clinton and Huma Abedi becom POTUS.
@Patrick J O’CONNOR:
Donald Trump on NBC meet the press.
—-”TRUMP: Chuck, excuse me, I say that to packed houses with thousands and thousands of people. Republicans mostly. And I get standing ovations. I’m not going to let that happen. If I’m president, we’re not going to have people dying on the streets. You can call it whatever you want ——”

@Patrick J O’CONNOR: That thing about Trump saying that ‘nobody is going to die in the middle of the street of the USA when Donald Trump is POTUS’
Oh dear,you really are seriously deluded!!
You have not even looked at his new healthcare ‘plan’ since he made that stupid announcement ..
Will his new ‘plan’ increase the number of people who would be uninsured by scrapping Obamacare and making cuts to Medicaid.
Has he guaranteed coverage for people with pre-existing conditions ?
Cray cray!
4 years actually
@Francis Mc Carthy:
have you not read Patricks posts before? of course he’s delusional. he cant handle change.
obama tried to get medical cover for every american citizen, something we take for granted in Ireland, and @Patrick wants to demean that
@Stephen Coveney: @Fr.Mc
The Great Obama Healthcare scam the likes of which only Hillary Clinton can scheme up better.
-
—”Obamacare advocates point out that 16.9 million previously uninsured people have got coverage under the law. But more than half got it through their employers, not from Obamacare. One-quarter got coverage through Medicaid, the welfare program for the poor that has been around for 60 years. Of the people who actually got coverage through Obamacare exchanges, more than half previously had insurance plans that were cancelled under Obamacare. Only 4.1 million newly insured people owe their coverage to the program — less than one per cent of the population.—..
Let’s not forget that obamacare as it is is only what the Republicans would allow and as such is a watered down version of what was actually planned
@Dave O Keeffe:
Let’s not forget all the other watery excuses made for a mushy president.
@Patrick J O’CONNOR: Before Obamacare ,people used to have minimal insurance, so when they got sick, the government paid
Or they discharged in bankruptcy which raised everyone’s costs
And,I was replying to what you said about Trump.
Try to keep up.
@ Stephen : I always knew he was a wee bit delusional.But now,it seems to have gone to a higher level of delusion…
@Francis Mc Carthy: How many accounts do you guys have!
This guy is getting bye on comments that would impeach a working president WTF
@Patrick J O’CONNOR: 1
Wow Donald. That’s something else. Sure terminally ill people are more concerned about themselves than whether it’s you or Clinton that wins the presidency. This election has really shown the calibre of people running for president in America and that calibre is so low.
@LITTLEONE: Donald is the real ill one. Narcissism is a terrible disease. He only cares about himself.
@JFN:
The pity in this case is the narcissism of Donald is not a terminally ill condition.
Donald trumps argorance and stupidity and lack of sensitivity just gets worse with every word from his mouth republican party must be at all time low to pick him as canditate
@ktsiwot: narcissism proved to be ultimately fatal!
@Richard Doherty:
Its the Republican party’s own fault for facilitating the likes of trump, this did not happen overnight it has been an ongoing process where the tea party and religious and ugly far right sectors have taken over the party base (those that vote in primary’s). The republican party have encouraged and facilitated this sector and the result is a Donald Trump.
@Anne Marie Devlin: 3
Hopefully, but we will not know for certain for another few weeks.
Spoken like a true beta male Richard. I hope that doesn’t hurt your delicate feelings too much.
I’ve decided this tool knows exactly what he’s saying at every step..I mean nobody could be that crass could they?
Who? James or Trump?
True.
Yes. The delusional!
@Richard Doherty:
Donald Trump is regaining his prev. lead over Clinton/Huma and so looks good for GOP as well.
-
—”It appears another “oh shit” moment looms for the Clinton campaign. Having ‘tweaked’ their polling in July (to remove the silent majority), helping to push Hillary Clinton to a reportedly insurmountable lead Reuters/Ipsos latest poll shows Donald Trump has now taken the lead nationally, after having been 12 points behind on August 22nd.—”

@Patrick J O’CONNOR:
And another widely respected poll org.Rasmussen Reports has Donald Trump out in front and picking up steam as Donald Trump cruises towards The Whitehouse to become POTUS.
-
—”Thursday, October 06, 2016
Donald Trump has gained another point on Hillary Clinton in the wake of Tuesday night’s vice presidential debate.
The latest Rasmussen Reports White House Watch telephone and online survey of Likely U.S. Voters finds Trump with a 43% to 41% lead over Clinton. Yesterday, he was ahead 42% to 41%. Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson again earns eight percent (8%) of the vote, while three percent (3%) prefer the Green Party’s Jill Stein. Two percent (2%) like some other candidate, and four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)—-”
http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/white_house_watch_oct06
The very definition of scraping the bottom of the barrel
So he is asking ill people to vote for him so he can repeal the health care bill which makes it easier to get health care without paying through the nose I get it now Trump isn’t orange from sunbeds it’s the shine off his brass neck
America Politics is the new Meet the Kardashians.
@Gary Guilfoyle: isn’t it just. Like a real bad reality show with scripted nonsense thrown in. Frightening thing is the winner of the reality show is going to be president.
Have either of them mentioned policies yet?
@Paul Furey: policies Paul. That what real politicians do. I have heard Hilary plugging her book more than anything else when she takes a breath from telling us how bad trump is. He spends all his time saying things that only he knows what he is talking about. Unbelievable what is actually going on.
It’s absolutely insane.
Lmao!
What an absolute gimp! He’s taken desperation to a whole new level.
Oh dear!,this is just a step too far. Perhaps this man needs to visit a doctor himself as he really needs help. He is very disturbed. Some member of his family needs to sign the order to bring him him. He has lost the plot.
Is like watching an episode of South Park!! Just when you think it can’t get anymore ridiculous or offensive!
Giant douche or turd sandwich
If you think Trump’s joke is offensive I assume you watch south park from behind the sofa.
The jury is ouT
@aboutallthethings: Member when politicians had brains????? oh I member ¦)
Ah the fianna fail/ fine geal tactic
So, Doctor, the bottom line is that I’m a goner and all I have to keep me clinging to life is the hope of seeing Dodalf Trumpler in the White House?
Please! Just give me a cyanide pill NOW!
A really new low in American politics
@Joe Murphy: You need to develop a sense of humour, it’s obvious he was making a (not very good) joke.
Donald Trump: “I say kiddingly, but I mean it”
Not funny.
This guy doesn’t hold back does he
Hillary got caught yesterday using child actors to ask questions
She is that stupid, she though no one would notice.
Can people not understand a wisecrack when they hear one? Of far more concern should be the reality that dead people are registering to vote: “FBI Investigating More Dead People Voting In The Key Swing State Of Virginia” http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-09-29/fbi-investigating-more-dead-people-voting-virginia
No James. He said he meant it. Is there anything that evil, racist, misogynist, xenophobe will say that will shake your blind faith I him?
@James Odin: i said the same thing in the previous Trump hit piece today but people seem to much prefer being offended
@Ann Enright: It’s called a joke.
http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/joke
@ James Odin… Have you no clue as to how much of a laughing stick you are here on the journal ? Your constant mindless support of the greatest certifiable nutjob ever to enter the presidential race is truly baffling ! I suspect that that your not playing with a full deck yourself in fairness !
“I say it kiddingly but I mean it. I dont care how sick you are” That is one of the funniest jokes I ever heard
@Eamon Mac Gowan: LOL,
LOL, it’s gone very bad when poor Anne has to have the meaning of a joke explained to her. She really needs to get out more.
Karl I don’t form or post opinions just for the approval of a bunch of cucks on the journal.ie.
@James Odin: Define “cucks”
James> Good for you expressing an opinion and then repeatedly coming back to repeat. Why would you bother if you don’t care about approval of some sort. I do find it interesting that 8 red thumbs appear on people who comment on you negatively very quickly and regularly.
A cursory glance at the red to green thumb ratio on my comments on this article alone would clearly disprove your crazy theory there Kal.
Tell it like it is. Thank you for making me laugh!
@Kal Ipers: ” I do find it interesting that 8 red thumbs appear on people who comment on you negatively very quickly and regularly.”
The clown car occupants have up to 10 accounts at any one time.
James> Classic response from you ignore half of what is said and then use deformed logic to attack the other half.
@James Odin:
The Thumb Jihadis are always busy red-thumbing those they disagree with such as youself and myself. The MB have no shortage of loot to pay the Thumb-Jihadis. They have less morals than Hillary Clinton and are rabid Donald Trump-haters fearing the loss of MB influence when Donald Trump moves into the Whitehouse. Critical faculties are paralyzed with such hatreds and name-calling is the result.
Brexit voters love this guy.
Clinton is readying the PC faux outrage machine as we speak fresh from the phony PTSD “controversy”. While Trump dreams big she’s playing petty small ball.
@James Odin:
Hillary has flaws but at least she doesn’t mock people who have mental illness.
Don’t mind James, he still thinks AIDS only affects gay people and believes that the only reason someone wouldn’t support the defunding of AIDS treatment is because they’re gay.
Well at least he’s dependable. Every time you think he can’t stoop any lower, he always does.
He is an absolute cream cracker !
Just when you thought Trump had scrapped the bottom of the barrel… a new low bar record set
Another day,another anti Trump article.The journal seems to have their own agenda,pro halawi,anti trump,
If you class an article reporting what a person says as anti-that person how do read any articles? He said it and it is an incredibly stupid thing to say even as a joke.
My point was not what he said,but rather the fact that their is an anti Trump article at least once a day.Also it’s always Trump versus Hilary,rather than Clinton.Makes no difference to me as I can’t vote for either of them,thankfully,
Would someone please put a spanner in his works! He is unbelievable. I am seriously ill and could not listen to any more drivel, as I am so upset. What is he on?
Then don’t listen
If Hillary gets in you can be sure there will be another for profit war !
@JJ: If Trump gets in, you think there won’t be?
@JJ: Possibly a civil war in America.
That man is nuttier than a squirrels turd … He never fails to make me laugh.
Looks its quite evident he DOESNT want to be president. Watch for more zany stuff he says over the next few weeks. He is trying is hardest to be disliked by the floaters, the rally folks will lap it up he knows that but he doesnt want any floaters to come around to him.
This was all publicity for him start to finish, a vanity project that went a bit too far. Now he will try his best to sabotage because he doesnt like to be seen to quit.
what a legend this guy has to get in just for the fun factor alone
One sick puppy !
Is there any actual criteria for POTUS??? This is not even funny any more.
If the terminally ill don’t vote for him all he’ll be left with is the mentally ill.
Love to see him win, just to hear and see all the lefty nut jobs squirm, they’ll have to crawl back into their safe spaces.
What would he say to terminally ill people who refuse to vote for him? Will he pull a Bervie?
Bertie*
I would like to know who the puppet masters for both canditates are. Does any one know?
There are few things you should never joke about and that is those that are helpless. I do not get how you can joke about those in suffering, in hopeless situations that no one can do anything about, only God.
Seriously, no one can imagine their pain. I have had people close to me die from cancer. It makes me laugh bitterly at how sad it is or just cry. Even more so thinking that millions in USA and across the world acknowledge and support this sort of attitude.
NOBHEAD
have your say
