I think if trump gets it Canada should offer a bursary for Americans with degrees or trades who want to move.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

1. No. He's too much of a misogynist and an asshole. He says too many controversial things that will never earn him a nomination.
2. Things won't change. He'll still be an asshole.
3. He won't become president, so there's no real worry here.
4. Oh Hell no.
5. This really has nothing to do with Trump. Even though it's an entirely different topic for discussion, I venture to ask, where are all these hate crimes against atheists occurring? I see hate crimes against other religions, but I have yet to see a specific hate crime against an athiest as of late. Interesting topic for debate though.
As a side note to funt clap, honestly dude, you're assholishness is really starting to show.

Thank you for all the references. I find it sad that none of these made it onto major US news channels.

It doesn't fit the story they want to tell. That atheists are the evil oppressors not the oppressed.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

1. Of getting the Republican nomination? Yes. Of winning the general election? No.
2. The Democrat still wins the general election, only by more votes.
3. No, thank goodness for the separation of powers.
4. Provisionally.
5. I think hate crimes in general would go up if Trump had access to the presidential bully pulpit.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.

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?

I don't really care about Trump.
I do have a bone to pick with your thread, which is where you say 'all other western democracies' have had their conservative parties socialize liberally. That's patently untrue. Unless your list of westernized democracies only counts the collection of tiny countries in western Europe as 'all other western democracies.' Before I can really give in to the rest of your premise, I need to know what you count as the rest of the civilized world?
