Adolf Trump

So when you replace Muslim and mosque with Jew and synagogue, doesn't he sound like quite the Nazi?

I further liked his idea to close the internet until he has seen Bill Gates.

Frontrunner.....wow.

Perhaps you got enough to keep you busy up there in the Northern Lats than comment on what's going on down here. But alas, knock yourself out if you must. Far be it me to keep an individual from their pleasure.

And you accuse us Americans with meddling.

Pot meet kettle!

Lol yes, somebody commenting on a forum is the same as invading countries around the globe.

Can't wait for the bestseller Mein Trumpf.

Watch the expressions and body language here.
Doesn't it look very Trump-like?

Yes cause not supporting a ban on all Muslims is the same as supporting extreme followers of Islam.

If I were a Muslim soldier in the US army, I would be wondering how I am supposed to go home.

I know. Not a big fan of that kid. Voted for the big bad conservative.

To think you guys laughed at us when we had Ford as a mayor.

Well we all knew Cheney was but a closeted socialist. I mean look at this Karl Marx quote and tell me Cheney couldn't have easily said the same thing:

Yes, supporting the right of Americans to return to their country is indeed very Politically Correct.

Refreshing....

Now this gave me a belly-laugh!

Advocates bigotry and hatred.

Suggests "roughing up" a heckler in the crowd.

Not too refreshing to me.

And yet his support keeps growing. Among the section of the US population that forms the base support of the Republican Party Trump's positions are popular. Not universally, but in the minds of significant numbers of them.

I'm reasonably certain that he cannot attain the support of an absolute majority of Republicans. But I don't know all the intricacies of the primary and nomination process. Is it possible to gain the nomination with the solid support of about a third of the party? Because he seems to have reached that level.

The major difference is Hitler was a better speaker; much more charismatic.

That's the "million dollar" question, isn't it?

The scary part is that it seems to be very possible. One of the bigger criticisms of the primary system is that, often, "middle of the road" voters won't bother to vote in the "lesser" elections. So the only ones voting in the primary elections are the extremists.

Also, some states require a declared party affiliation to vote in a primary. Which means that the independents and undeclareds (I've never declared a party affiliation, although I tend to vote conservative - mostly "R").
Which again, leads towards weighting the vote towards the extremists.

Kind of like how Obama seems to have brought all the racists out of hiding, Trump seems to be doing the same. Albeit in the opposite way (opposition to Obama vs support for Trump).

Hey!!!!! Watch how you talk about our next president!!!!

Seriously though, he will be our next Prez. A couple of things to consider:

Low education voters: People know his name.
Our current politicians: The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Trump is different.
Political Correctness: He doesn't have it. He is saying out loud what a lot of people think in private. The more he says the more media he gets, and when you are an entertainer, there is no such thing as bad media.

And has he even had to dip into his own money yet with all the free press?

Don't get me wrong, I hope someone else gets the nominee because in all honesty, I don't trust the guy. He comes off like a snake oil salesman. But with our current politicians sucking so badly the best way to describe him would be a "market correction."

Anyone else got a better way to describe the Trump phenomena?

>Seriously though, he will be our next Prez.

I agree; it's getting more and more likely.

And we may need this. We may need to make a mistake of that caliber to get people more involved in our government. We may need to let the disaster that would be a Trump presidency happen so that next time around, people do not put up with the sort of idiocracy that creates the popular candidates we see today.

I'm pretty sure that a Trump nomination would pretty much guarantee another Clinton Presidency. Even with a good Republican nominee she is going to be hard to beat. Against Trump she would attract at least some people who would otherwise vote Republican, and Trump will not draw any crossover voters at all.

At least that's my read from way up here in Canada. My track record in predicting election results is not that good. But as I get older it's getting better.
