You need to care because he has no qualifications.



Do you want his finger on that button?

Oh I agree he has no qualifications. That is what I care about, not his comments on immigrants, which everyone obsesses about.

That is the role of the media, though.  They fixate on it and on him.  For different reasons but the result is the same.

MSNBC spends more time on Trump than FOX.

If Trump grows the economy 4-5% a year for 8 years, think of all the funding we'll have for social programs in 2024!

It's funny until you realize there are dipshits who will actually vote for him, and then it's just sad. Though I do enjoy it quite a bit when Republicunts fight among themselves. It was the only entertaining thing about the last GOP debate.

As a son of a Mexican immigrant his comments about immigrants piss me off greatly. He's talking about force whole families of Mexicans back to Mexico. USA has a track record of fucking this up and deporting U.S. citizens (like me) in the process. This scares me greatly.
Secondly, I don't see how making legal immigrant and naturalization absurdly difficult helps stop terrorists and drug lords at all. I have a friend from the Netherlands who is having a difficult time immigrating here. This shit is stupid.

Finally, he plans to waste money on a fucking wall.

Trump isn't politically incorrect like Ayaan Hersi Ali facing her former religion with harsh facts.

Trump is merely a pandering Jerry Springer Shock jock circus ringmaster.

The difference is when he offends is that he is doing it for show, he has no facts to back up the bullshit he sells.

Seems to me the best thing that could ever happen is Trump goes independent.

Not if Clinton is the Democratic nominee.

Often 'PC' is a euphemism that allows one to talk about treating people with respect as though it were a bad thing.

Totally wrong.  The money wing of the party is shitting a brick because Trump doesn't need them.  Unlike the other turds who are owned by one billionaire or another Trump can tell them all to go fuck themselves.  He's still a fucking douchebag who thinks this is some kind of a game but the GOP's elites are not at all happy about him coming along and pissing on their parade.

I don't know. I'm not saying he'll be bought, because your reasoning is spot-on there ... but I'm saying that he comes from the business class and has absorbed their views.
