The Trump Thread!!!

[Marvolo]

What base? Last I looked, Bernie Sanders is catching up to her in the polls, while Trump is gaining momentum in the polls. I saw his thing on the news about John McCain, and I got news for you, it's not stopping his momentum for nothing! In fact, the local news seems to make it out that the military personel that are still in service now, hate McCain, and don't seem to be bothered by what Trump has said at all.

The Republican party doesn't have to nominate the Republican candidate that wins the primaries. The almost always do but its not a law that they have to. Who they choose is up to them. If Trump continues saying this sort of stuff and alienating backers and upsetting the Republican National Committee then he won't get the nomination. And needless to say the GOP, the Committee, backers, and people that can make it very hard on him are pissed off and annoyed with him. And it's still very early. He has support from voters right now, but things get shaken up during the debates and primaries. Trump isn't getting the nomination.

I can't see Trump winning the nomination. I mean, I have a low opinion of the Republican party, but the entire party isn't crazy. Trump can only get so far on race baiting.

 

[ThePhantasm]

The RNC came out with a statement denouncing Trump's words about McCain. And while Trump inexplicably seems popular with a certain crowd, the majority of Republicans despise him and wouldn't vote for him.

 

[Thundercrack85]

I am curious to see how the Tea Party will react. Sort of an unusual predicament for them. To chose between a bigot like Donald Trump and upholding the values they pretend to have.

The longer Trump is in this race, the better for both sides.

 

[Evelisse]

Just way too many people online saying stuff like "Hey, he's just saying it like it is" or "He's not scared to tell the truth", I don't want to underestimate how badly the Republicans would want to win at any cost (I'm sure Democrats fit this as well), and frankly I really don't trust my fellow Americans to not accidentally let this man be our President.

 

[Schlosser85]

The people who cheer Trump's comments are far more troubling than Trump himself. Especially those who claim patriotism out one side of their mouth and cheer his shameful insults against POWs out the other.

Can you honestly say that you would feel secure with Donald Trump as the President of the United States?

Leafar,

More secure than under Obama for sure, who has let Putin have his way in Eastern Europe, and just gave Iran the deal of the century, allowing them to spin 5,000 centrifugues with a cushion of 24 days before an inspection, and import billions of dollars.

How secure is a nation that is badly in debt, and has its politicians “ bought “ by other corporation and nations? Or a nation that does not have a secure boarder?

Trump has some Reaganesque qualities on defense, space, and foreign policies. Its not that hard to see, and as such I think the USA will be safer under him. He’ll bring the fight to Isis and call them for what they are.

Illegals can get government aid, but our veterans cannot? Something is very wrong here.

The only thing Trump needs is a better speech writer and campaign manager to soften his message a bit.

 

[Schlosser85]

Someone who made his shameful comment about POWs and refuses to apologize should pretty much be ruled out for commander in chief.

And I see no convincing evidence that Trump is qualified about....anything. He's not even a good businessman.

Agreed. We would be better off with Trump than what Obama has done for the US. Trump needs polishing and diplomacy before he can ever truly be considered the Republican nominee. I can stand here and say that Donald Trump will do a better job than Obama has or Hillary will.

 

[Schlosser85]

....how?

 

[NYR94]

Read the above quotes...those are just a few of the many, many ways Trump would be better than Obummer.

 

[KevanG]

From what I've seen of Trump with his general attitude and business sense, he'd sell off the country to pay off the debts then move to South America.

 

[NYR94]

I'd be ok with him selling California to the Chinese for 17 Trillion...

 

[Schlosser85]

You think Trump cares about veterans with how he insulted POWs?

 

[craigdbfan]

This walking toupee is going to cost the Republicans the election by choosing to go third party and taking a chunk of votes from the former.

Cannibalization at its finest.

 

[Legendver2]

I don't like how people are propping Trump up because he's a good businessman and that is something we need for this country that's having financial problem. You have to understand the guy filed for bankruptcy 4 times. Sure, you can use the argument that he did it for business purposes to protect his own assets, so the guy has financial intelligence. But that's a faulty argument, because by protecting his own assets, he screwed the other party. Now we he consider the US his own asset? Highly doubt that. If he was successful in running a business, he wouldn't have to file for bankruptcy in the first place. He's got the money to afford failing, and he can try again if one business does not work (hence 4 bankruptcies). But you pretty much only have one shot with a country. You can't start over with a country. So I don't know why so many are so quick to trust a guy who technically struck out 4 times.

Do you seriously know anything about Reagan? That's not the administration to use if you're trying to tout competency. The Reagan administration is pretty much defined by ballooning debt, scandal, sowing the seeds for Al Quaeda, being Saddam Hussein's best friend giving him weapons and turning a blind eye to his use of chemical warfare, while selling weapons to Iran under the table, and of course...amnesty. Please don't use Reagan as some kind of positive example. In today's political climate Ronald Reagan would be Obama on steroids.

Because they like his hair?

Since the Progs use this as their get out of jail free card all the time, I'll use it for Trump and say he "misspoke" when he said what he did regarding John McCain.

Could be because he "struck out" 4 times and is still a BILLIONAIRE.

Does that mean Trump has your vote?

 

[herakles]

Let's pretend the impossible happens and a giant wall is built that separates Mexico and the USA. Illegal immigration is suddenly stopped. Do you honestly think that suddenly unemployed America citizens will willingly take the farm and construction labor jobs that the illegals once had? The costs of buildings and food would skyrocket, the economy would go into a depression, and you know it! This is why I believe that all this tough talk from the Republicans about illegal immigration is all bullcrap. The corporations that control the GOP would never allow it, because they would lose billions.

Unemployed Americans took those jobs during the great depression and the Economy recovered and grew.

Sorry but prices wouldn't skyrocket. Also most of the construction workers are native born.

 

[C. Lee]

Nope. I've thought he was a giant piece of **** for years....his insult to vets is just one more tier on the **** cake that is Trump. I was just pointing out something that I have heard a few people say.

And Trump would change this, how? It's not even in his best interest to downgrade the power of corporations.
