It would be refreshing to have someone in charge who is not a politician, who is not a polished spokesperson, who is not indebted (obligated) to any particular person/place/or cause.

I have thought this for sometime before he came on the scene. It would be nice to have someone who speaks for themselves and does not rally the crowd based on some scripted bullshit that somebody else actually wrote and is actually expected to be said and which actually makes my eyes roll around so hard (so hard) so hard. (aka blah blah blah stfu)

Mind you, I would definitely vote for Keith Richards over Trump. Or even Jack Black maybe.

unfortunately, tho, they aren't running.

But Trump is.

wait, what is my one other choice? Hillary?
Well, at least I still have time to decide ......

    So, refreshing is the term you use for someone openly displaying racism, xenophobia, bigotry, and misogyny?
    I call it bullshit. My alcoholic, asshole of an uncle "speaks his mind" too, do you want to write him in??

    That came off pretty harsh. I guess I am just sick and tired of people treating Trump like a benign joke. Our resident trollmonkey thinks it's hilarious...
    It's not funny.

    It's refreshing to have a racist running for candidacy of president of the United States!

    I don't like Hillary one bit, but I am most definitely Anti-Trump.

    Trump specifically aside, I get the sentiments of the OP, of the desire for a break from the political norm.

    *edit - by political norm, referring to how campaigns and its puppets are run.

    I agree as well.
    Trump speaks so much to fear and division and hatred, it would be nice if someone came in with a nice Dalai Lama style approach lol

    Why is it that the internet can join forces to name a 9-figure boat ‘Boaty McBoatface’, vote in a goon to play in the NHL all star game, give a Rick Astley video 200,000,000 hits 30 years after it first sucked etc etc….but we can’t get a campaign going to write in a capable candidate when the parties refuse to give you one?

    This country needs a moderate - Trump is the polar opposite of Clinton, plus he has no actual plan for anything. He just shoots his mouth and people think he should be president. He won't be elected. The turnout will be historic and his 'people' are a fraction of the overall population. Youth vote will see to it a Dem is in the WH again - which isn't really what our country needs. Just like the Supreme Court, that has to be a balance. Can't have one side having all their agenda items met. Not what our country was founded on. OP, a vote for Trump is your decision - if you respect his 'anti-establishment' ways bare in mind that's all the substance he has. When it comes time to deal, he won't have a clue on what to do next.

    Hence my initial phrase!

    Agree with you on your balance comment...and so tired of sides and agendas but it seems those ways have bled beyond politics. It's just how many live and see things now.

    that's a brilliant idea. Instead of a wall, there will be a moat.

    As Nelson Muntz so eloquently stated, you gotta nuke something.

    agree but do you have a capable candidate willing to endure the bs to be President?
