He very much resembles Ronald Reagan, albeit more corrupt and a lot more xenophobic.
It really surprises me how in other Western democracies, almost all their traditional conservative parties have liberalized socially in order to tap into the millennials and progressives who are fiscally conservative. Why can't the Republican party do the same?
1. Do you really think Trump has a chance?
2. If he loses the nomination and runs as a third candidate how will things change?
3. If he does become president do you think he will be able to bring about his radical changes?
4. Do you think Hillary is our best bet for the Democratic party?
5. Will hate crime against atheists go up?
1. No. Red meat politics really only plays in the primaries. He will lose the general election if he gets that far.
2. He'll ensure a Democratic win, and the GOP will loathe him until the end of time.
3. He'll discover that being a CEO is not the same as being President, and his fantasies about doing as he damn well pleases will crash and burn.
4. Yes.
5. Why would they?
