Donald Trump

My concern was very poorly worded. It's not a question of Americans not being intelligent enough to avoid electing Trump. But it does seem to be a perfect storm favoring Trump in any event. And nobody seems to play people and play the media better then he does.

...if the American public were gullible enough to elect a guy named "Obama" shortly after 9/11, electing Trump is a walk in the park compared to that!
 
Haha. Whatever you need to tell yourself.

You seem to be confused. I'm not saying the Republicans are acting smart. I'm not saying I agree with what they're doing/how they're acting. I'm just saying that the candidates for both sides suck.

...obviously, you misunderstood what he said! He took his "formula" and applied it all the way back to the 1912 election, not that he was alive in 1912!

It was a joke, you simple minded twit.
 
Well, ya know, in an interview with NBC Nightly News anchor, Lester Holt, he did say he isn't going to talk or behave the way he is now, once he is elected. That he will somehow become more Presidential in his demeanor. Yet, just this week, he stated he wanted to punch a protestor in the face:

And, of course, the crowd cheered wildly. We all know by now his campaign catch phrase of "make America great again". Yet, clearly, right now he irresponsibly ratchets up the hatred the two Americas have for each other. We've had 8 years of gridlock in Washington, and lots and lots and lots of Americans are fearful and resentful of what they see as the direction of the nation. We have the culture wars, which in turn are poisoning the political wars. Surely, no good can come of causing more hatred and anger between and among Americans. This is simply not healthy for the body politic. We don't need people making every effort to divide Americans more then they are already. "Make America great again". For Trump, it really seems to be "make America hate more then ever." The party not in power is the loyal opposition. Not the blood enemy that needs to be roughed up, that needs to be punched in the face. This is not how we heal this country.

Your wishful thinking may be spot on. But, in the meantime, he is helping to build up the reserve of anger and resentment some feel. What a crossroads in our history the election of 2016 surely will be. We just cannot go on stoking fear, anger, and resentment to such a degree and somehow expect to be one nation again.
Fascistic post
 
I really thought there was no way this *** clown could get the nomination.

I'm honestly horrified.

Unlike Joe Bagadonuts, I like the U.S. to show some humility. We aren't the superior race on planet earth, we are humans just like the people trying to eek out their short existence all over the planet.

I think another bully president is long term very very bad for us. One day the U.S. will not be the top dog and when that happens we are going to be treated the way we have treated the rest of the world. I wish we would have conducted ourselves, over the last century, in a way that wouldn't encourage retribution when that day comes. As it stands, I fear for future generations and what punishment they will suffer for being descended from dumb asses like us.

I hope I'm just blowing it out of proportion. Presidents don't necessarily matter. If he's elected I hope that's true.
 
I thought Rubio and to a lesser extent Cruz did a good job last night showing that Trump is the emperor with no clothes. "I'll get Mexico to pay for the wall." Yes, you've said that before... but how, Donald?? You have no plan. "I'll fix health care by giving people more options." Duh. Yes, Donald, that's what ALL of the Republican candidates plan to do. But how specifically are you going to do it? You have no plan. Etc, rinse and repeat.

I still have hope that he won't get the nomination. I thought Rubio was clearly the best in the debate.

Rubio definitely rattled Trump a couple of times. Although I thought that Mexican reporter rattled Rubio a bit about his U-turn on what he said in Spanish, he was clearly very defensive when trying to explain away what he did. He's not as good as Trump in batting away those pesky questions IMO. He just looked nervous even when in attack mode.


I thought Cruz's challenge to Trump releasing his tax returns was also effective, a minus to Trump but unfortunately not really a plus to Cruz though.


Overall I don't think the debate did much to change the votes... Trump still has the momentum (unfortunately), and now with Christie throwing his support behind him, he looks like an unstoppable runaway train now right.

Wonder if that is a tell on Trump's future VP pick. I saw an interview awhile back where Trump said he doesn't want anybody like him to be the VP, referring to political experience mainly I think but also his brashness. I like Trump alone, and kind of like Christie alone. But I don't think I like that pairing.
