    Can you imagine being an average citizen from another country and seeing that the American people had elected a reality TV star with a notoriously bad hairdo and fake? tan...
    And then you see him stomping around calling people dummies and saying the stupid stuff he says...
    It would be way worse than the Bush effect, at least he was affable.

    And a wrestler got voted in as Gov. of Wisconsin. Weird shit happens.

    And after the latest revelations I'll stick by my earlier point...if for some reason Hillary is the nominee it will guarantee a victory for whomever she is running against.

    I usually don't wear the tinfoil cap, but I think there is a 10% chance that The Donald is in cahoots with the Clintons.

    He has contributed to them in the past and spoken fondly of them. He is bringing issues with women and race to the forefront of the GOP debates without even declaring a platform. And he is willing to go independent which will surely hand the election to Clinton.

    Most likely it's his ego, but it something to think about.

    Listening to him today.I can see where his Schtick is resonating with the Washington outsider crowd.Im not going to be so dismissive at this point.He is striking a nerve that has been untapped.I wouldn't vote for him but I can see where others would as a vote against what has been.

    I don't know what to think anymore. This election cycle is crazy. I don't think I could ever vote for Trump but I do like listening to him speak. I really enjoy listening to him talk about the Iraq war, "disaster".
    What I seen of his press conference today was fascinating. Lol

    “Jeb Bush is a puppet to his donors,” Trump said donning his red “Make America Great” hat. He also slammed the former Florida Governor for saying we have to prove we have “skin in the game” in Iraq.

    “It may be one of the dumbest statements I ever heard,” the GOP frontrunner said, adding Iraqi officials are a bunch of “crooks” and Bush should apologize to the families of fallen U.S. soldiers.

    Lol!

    Clinton, walking with the former U.S. senator from Iowa, Tom Harkin, shook hands with supporters, with a large press pack in tow.

    As the group neared a meat-on-a-stick stand, a helicopter began circling overhead.

    "It's the Donald!” yelled an onlooker, as eyes shifted to the sky.

    They also voted in a comedian. Al Franken anyone? He's a senator for Minnesota. I guess they like their TV personalities up there huh?

    As for Trump? He will garner some attention but no momentum. He will surely say something to anger a whole group of voters...

    Unless there is a major Hillary scandal Trump isn't winning the Presidency. He can win the Republican Nominee though. Trump most likely can't win Florida, California and Texas with zero Latino support and if you don't win any of those 3 states it's extremely difficult to get enough electoral college votes to win.

    and my money is still on the 50/50 chance he doesn't really want to run a full campaign and is doing this for publicity and will pull out at some point and blame it on the media.

    he already has..this weekend he stated he wants to deport all ilegals along with thier children(anchor babies)...not a bad Idea in my opinion but it's only wishful thinking.

    Illegals are not a problem that we should be focusing on. Income inequality is our biggest issue. Anyone in the middle class that doesn't see that has blinders on.
