Donald Trump

[JimLes]

Who is in charge of making sure the laws which are passed get enforced? Via administration (for public policies) and via enforcement (for civil/criminal law).

In theory, the Queen(as represented by the G-G) and the cabinet. Since the PM is heading and a part of the cabinet, he or she is included there. This goes for foreign policy too. Of course, in reality the PM isn't simply first among equals as it originally was in the UK, and his or her opinion carries more weight than that of a random member of the cabinet.

And who's in charge supervising the military and deciding on foreign policy? And selecting the judges? Those are all major roles of the President/executive branch, in the U.S.

In theory, the G-G appoints supreme court judges, based on advice from the Cabinet.

So, perhaps I should qualify my earlier statement. The office of the Prime Minister is not an executive position per se. Certainly not on its own. The Prime Minister cannot go against the parliament or against his own party. He or she cannot veto laws, and if legislation introduced by the PM does not pass, it will generally mean that the PM either has to resign and allow a party vote on a new one, or ask for the parliament to be dissolved, upon which a new election takes place. In essence, if the PM does not have the confidence of the House(ability to pass major legislation, but not absolutely all legislation), they will no longer be the PM.

Both DNC and RNC are private organizations

The superdelegate idea reflects the basic underlying fact that our party politics is not fundamentally democratic, or constitutional republican for that matter.

Both the DNC and RNC organizations are tightly-held private organizations, and the superdelegates are there to make sure the people don't interfere with management.

Here we go again, this time with the caucus being a problem too.

14 votes in wyoming. Candidate A wins by 12 points. Yet they split the delegates at 7 each? And the states Superdelegates go to Candidate B anyway?

I think the Republican party has hit an all time low.

Trump is disgusting. Period.

Shameful. Shameful. Shameful.

What started as a joke candidacy has become a mockery of the American people. If you support Trump, like you really like the idea of him as our President, please consider beating your head in with a hammer. You're dumb. It isn't any more complicated than that. You're the problem. You're the scum of our nation. You are why democracy is doomed.

Enjoy your authoritarian demagogue. Enjoy making America a joke again.

You need a daddy and you think Trump as president will be your daddy. Grow the **** up!

This is sad.

But I read somewhere recently (I think CNN?) that if Trump wins then he has no chance against Hilary.... so I guess my question is "is this a moot point"?

Give me a break.
I'm no Trump supporter, but to say Trump supporters are the scum of the earth and the problem with democracy is hot air. Some of the most kind-hearted, brilliant, successful, and FULL of philanthropy people I know are staunch Trump supporters.

And let me tell you something. If they stood toe to toe with anyone here and gave their chapter and verse as to why they support him, you'd find it very difficult to refute their positions (I've been there with them).

The problem is the two-party system and how it's manipulated by so many artificial factors that no "good man" wants to even run for President. The system is what makes a mockery of our "democracy."

One last thing.

I believe the huge majority of Trump votes are less pro-Trump and simply more so anti-establishment.

 

[Dr. Jones]

Okay, I guess one more.

How GF described Trump and his supporters is very close to how I feel <insert Hillary>.

So what does that say?

We are f'd no matter?

No. It means we get to choose between career "establishment" politicians or the Donald... because the system keeps the would-be great Presidents away from the cauldron.

After a two term administration they say the next president is a direct referendum on the previous president not only in policy but in style and temperament.

Do two more polar opposites exist on this earth other than Donald Trump and Barack Obama?

My wife's a lifelong Republican but is going to vote for Clinton. Trump disgusts her. As a human being. As an educated person. As someone with common sense. That said, I can't help but wonder if he could surprise us he was elected President.
