vote Donald trump!?

He'll probably tell us that he's going to build a wall around Europe and make the EU pay for it.

I think Republicans will make sure Trump doesn't get the nomination.

It's kind of like Alien vs Predator though, whoever wins, we lose!

It would be much cheaper to build a wall around him and make him pay for it.

No, both Hillary and Bernie are beating Mein Drumpf in the polls, but even if Ted were to be the nominee history shows that the winner of a fractured party gets their ass handed to them in a general.

"It helps if you think of it as a game, Bob"  -Dick Jones
A candidates most important attribute of character is sincerity. Once they can fake that, they've got it made.

I don't see how anyone can look at the American political system and expect Mr. Smith honesty.
Our voting process, to outward appearances, seems well controlled, compared to, for example, Zimbabwe.  At least the disenfranchisement, gerrymandering and outright fraud that goes on happens at a low enough level or is hidden well enough to give us the impression that things are on the up and up.
But if every vote is equal, and the winning candidate needs at least a plurality in the electoral college which supposedly represents the will of the people, then it is necessary for a winning candidate to attract the will of the people.
The people are a diverse mob, always with dearly held, diametrically opposed views.
So in order to win, a candidate is obligated to lie to one, the other or many sub populations on any specific issue.
Before the day of instant, global, communications, this could be done more in private where each group being misled could fool themselves into thinking the candidate actually did share their views.  Now things like Mitts 47% bullshit gets outed too much of the time for us to keep our cherished, though false, beliefs.  A large part of running for office is now keeping statements vague enough to be acceptable to both pro and con constituencies or to artfully distract them with bluster and sleight of hand.
Drumpf is the first candidate (I know of) to simply cut out the pretense of honesty and lie, lie, lie.  It seems to be working.
Initially I thought he was only in the race to be paid off to get out.  I don't know if he was a serious candidate from the beginning, but either he is now or the payoff hasn't yet gotten big enough.

What a mess. At least imperial China required their officials to pass competency tests before allowing them to join the kleptocracy.

Polls aren't always right. People may be afraid to say they support Trump because of all the liberal crazies out there.

Nobody likes to be outed as an idiot. Present company excepted.

Let's see, gun-rights rightists who own a couple of firearms, afraid of leftists armed with a fucking latte? I guess they haven't heard of the radical notion that in these polls, you don't actually give out your name?

No, Trump is behind against both Dems because he's a loser. Mark my words -- I'm going to be here the night of election Tuesday, gloating over his loss as you get blind drunk and have a bittersweet fap session over your AR collection.

Seriously most people will vote trump, but not admit it. We live in a crazy PC world with thought control and public shaming or professionally outraged social justice warriors who attempt to ride around on their high horse scoring points with their freinds on pointing out how others are not acting PC. The left are insane. Most in teh US don't really care what people in other countries think either. It's only because the US is the most powerful and infuential country in the world that the world is getting upset. Rather amusing. You don't see people in the US getting their panties in a bunch over the vote of other nations leaders. In fact the more bashing, the more support he gets, from some. Others are more worried about offending people so it does go both ways.

Anytime he talks about national security, he's labeled a bigot or racist. Europe will see what happens this summer. In fact what happens there will change the way people vote towards November. I'm more wore worried about the US. 

Not saying he will win though. There is a lot against him.

[abaris]

No, scoobs.

That's got nothing to do with PC. That's go everything to do with some 80 years old turds being regurtitated by toilets around the world. Walking turds, who think hating and downgrading others is the way to go. That's Trump in a nutshell. But he only is the most dangerous of all of them, since he stands a real chance to get hold of a nuclear arsenal.
