Could Donald Drumpf actually pull this off? Could he become president?

Mildly amusing but I've seen a hundred bits like that about Dillary. This was a not so subtle attempt to support her candidacy by making Trump out to be a fool. Hillary has been legitimately exposed as a liar countless times when her honesty was questioned as opposed to being the object of a spoof. Also, the final clip with the McDonalds Grimace was insulting to people of color, IMO. At least I would be insulted because I would not want to be identified as generally needing to be reached out to because I am a person of color.

If it weren't for Trump, I would have no hope at all that anything was going to change. If he wins and ends up being a bad president, we couldn't be much worse off. We're in for radical change here at some point and I'd rather it be by our own choice rather than letting the wind blow us wherever it wants to.

I hear you. Personally, I don't think things will change regardless of who wins the presidency. Democrats and Republicans are owned by Wall Street.

I'm trusting that is not the case with Trump.. I have a feeling his ego is more important to him than his money and he'll do anything to go down in history as the guy who turned it all around.

---

I have to disagree with you Rook. Trump is consumed with his ego and I have no doubts that he is capable of some really heinous decisions to soothe it. I'm not a big Hillary fan either but as far as lying goes, ALL politicians lie. That's job #1 for them. And I agree with Kofla, until we get corporate money out of politics we don't have a say. Oh, I also predict that Trump would quit within 1 year in office. As soon as he gets tired of throwing tantrums every time Congress refuses to let him have his way.

if that's the case, I'm glad Hillary has no chance of being VP. One more reason to vote for Trump, IMO.

Yes, I could see Trump quitting after elected more than the others because Trump is not a team player. He could get overwhelmed by trying to run his own game...but I don't know I don't want a conventional president again.

---

The way I look at it is Donald couldn't be any worse than Bush Jr. or Bush JrJr. (Obama). Pretty much know if Hillary gets in, it'll be more of the same as Obama and Bush, big government for the same of big government payoffs. Whatever other politician could get the Republican nomination than Trump, same thing.

Trump, well there's a good chance he's just as full of it as the rest of them. But at least there's some chance he really might try to get this country back on course of some sort of fiscal responsibility.

Sadly, I'm starting to think that it won't matter who is President. As long as we have a totally dysfunctional, bickering congress nothing will get done anyway. Glad I'm retiring to the outback of No. Cali in 4 years. I'm gonna unplug and concentrate on riding and fishing. Maybe I'll even have Trump build a wall around my property to keep the riff raff out.

In my opinion, George Pataki was a better candidate than most of the current republican candidates. Unfortunately, his message didn't resonate with people during the campaign.

I also think people are overestimating Donald Drumpf popularity. Most people are focusing on Donald Drumpf numbers, I don't think Donald Drumpf poll results so far will make him the Republican nominee. If we look back, Santurum won Iowa in 2012, and Huckabee won Iowa in 2008 and they both lost the nomination.

My prediction is that Donald Drumpf won't win any caucuses.

Harry Truman once said, "the one big poll that counts is the voice of the American people speaking at the ballot box"

I just don't see how the majority of Americans will vote as president, a person that spouts the same rhetoric Hitler did. Just a few days ago, even Anne Frank's stepsister compared Donald Drumpf to Adolf Hitler.

"Sadly, I'm starting to think that it won't matter who is President." It is sad but I have to agree. Politicians don't care about so called middle class anymore. They don't even know what middle class is..like Hilary said in one of her speech. Politicians work for their own benefits and then for people who give them $$$.

I'm following your footsteps, not sure I want to wait four more years to retire. I'll be basking in the sun and running a Tiki bar by the ocean in the Caribbean. You're all invited!

If Clinton gets elected better to retire now, convert your IRA/401K to gold and run as fast as you can to some tax haven Caribbean Island, because after 4 yrs of Clinton your retirement savings may not even buy you a new 2020 ZX17R turbo II

Bush, Clinton, Obama, same old drama. They are all married to Wall Street interests. If I could recoup the money I lost during the 2008 recession when Bush was still president, I could probably retire right now.

Me too. I still don't understand how many people don't recognize what a disaster George W was.

I would support a new law - no Clinton or Bush for president ever

Trump's slogan is "Make America Great Again" I'd like to know what era he's referring to when America was greater than it is no w? Was it after the Civil War when Emancipation fell apart in the South after Federal troops withdrew? Was it at the turn of the 20th century? How about when FDR and WWII pulled the economy out of depression? Was it when Ike was President and there was no Federal deficit due to 91% income tax on rich folks?

Trump says he'll create more jobs. When asked for specifics as to how, he replies, "I don't know, I just will." Colbert had a great bit the other night when Trump played debate hooky in which Trump debated himself, sounding like two different people as he leaped back and forth across the fence. The only thing he's done is to tap into the frustration and anger that almost EVERYONE in the USA feels, but has proposed no practical ideas for change.

He's a master showman and the Republican Party is scared to death he'll be their candidate. Even THEY have no idea what he actually stands for or what he would do given the chance. If they did, they'd get behind him and make sure he's the nominee. I personally don't see how thay can stop him, but that doesn't mean they won't spend a few million trying.

---

Debating politics and the candidates feels like we're on a conveyor belt headed toward a huge grinder, and we're debating whether it'll be better to go in feet first, head first, or maybe sideways.

Also like re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.

I will agree with that. Trump is speaking what many of us have been thinking and that is why I like him. Yes, it has crossed my mind that he is a salesman and he does pretty obviously maintain a particular public persona which influences everyone's perception of him. However, i was asking early on what any of the candidates were planning to do to "fix" the problem and I haven't heard of anyone's plan. At least Trump has suggested putting tight limits on immigration as an anti-terrorism measure. That's not exactly a plan but at least it is an idea. What ideas or plans have been suggested by other candidates?

---

We know with Clinton we get 4 more yrs of Obama with the addition of lies, deceit and deception.

We know with anyone but Trump we get the same old DC 2 step Blah Blah Blah and nothing gets done and nothing changes.

At least with Trump we will get a national debate where he calls Clinton a deceitful liar who is under investigation by the FBI for multiple felony charges of mishandling national security info on national TV ... none of the other RINOS would try that because they are all worried about their next job as a lobbyist or election.

I'm gonna support Trump just for that reason alone, cant be any worse than Clinton, Bush or Obama??

The bigger question is "What do you perceive are the actual problem(s) that need to be addressed?"

Bernie Sanders said the first thing he would do after assuming office is to reverse the Supreme Court decision that has allowed billionaires to buy elections. I believe that is a HUGE problem, but in the current political climate, and until several Supreme Court justices retire, we're stuck with what we have. So, problem identification, good idea about it, but no practical solution. If you look at Trump's statements, his ideas are no less impractical. "Build a 'beautiful' wall on the border and get the Mexicans to pay for it." "Make friends of the Russians and Chinese." Do any of you Trump supporters have any clue as to how complex, expensive and unworkable those ideas are? Of course it feels good to say we're going to kick ass and leave footprints. It's quite another thing to actually do it. If ALL the candidates would just stick to reality and quit promising impossible fantasies, we would all have a better idea of who to support.

Chinese could build the great wall back when there were no technologies. It would be interesting to see the great wall of America.
