I don't know if you're serious or not, but there is no way Trump wins anything. I doubt he wins a primary. Nobody wants a guy that is worth $10 billion running the country. Not that Reagan, Bush, clinton, bush, and Obama weren't rich. But trump is on a different level. He can't connect with middle america. Just because he wants to put landmines on the border?

That being said, I can't count how many times in the last 2 weeks I've heard "I'd vote for trump. Better choice than Hilary." I chuckle when I hear that. As bad as I think Hilary would be as a president, there is no way she would do worse than trump. Trump is obviously a brilliant business man. But that doesn't make a great president. It doesn't even make a good politician. Do any of you that think trump may be a good option want Donald Trump negotiating peace treaties with the likes of iran, north korea, or syria? That would scare the piss out of me.

I do think trump is serious about a run this year. But inevitably, he will put his foot in his mouth much like Rick perry, Howard dean, mitt romney, and countless less other have. Hell, he tried his best on the first day of his campaign. In my opinion, he will not make a good president or a good presidential nominee.

I doubt seriously I'd vote him (he's dangerous) I'm just pointing out that him winning could be very real.

Would love to see the quote where he said all Mexicans are anything? I'm having trouble finding that. Are criminals coming across the border from Mexico illegally? Yep. Are good people coming across the border from Mexico illegally? Yep. Thats what he said. Mind boggling how that could be offensive.

I can't find it either...and I looked, this is turning into a witch hunt.

And you won't find anything remotely close to that.

Funny, I wonder how many other candidates are saying they want legal immigration to be made easier? They want to make all health insurance plans available across state lines. They wat to make sure those that cant afford insurance can get it. They want to penalize corporations for moving manufacturing and jobs out of the US?

To be fair, you guys do have a point. To my knowledge he never said "all" and it has been misconstrued that he did.

Still an asshat though.

Shawshank · July 2015

Don't get me wrong. He's a prick. But none of those people are your friend. I prefer to have someone be blunt and to the point, whether I agree with them or not. That is where he's going to have the upper hand in comparison to the other robots running. He will lean way left compared to some of them and still capture the conservative majority, because people are sick of the establishment. Of course that's if he doesn't screw up.

You're joking right? You do realize that banks and corporations hold Presidents hostage for their contributions right? People wouldnt be electing Jeb Bush, they would be electing Goldman bankers and every other corporation that finances his campaign. Same on both sides.

Would you rather a billionaire run the country that you can see? Or a group of them hiding in the shadows pulling the strings?

"Some, I assume, are good people"
If he has to assume that some are good that means he has never met any that he thought were good.
That's pretty bad.

Pretty clear message Trump conveyed when you listen to what he said and how. As pointed out "some may be good".

You clearly missed my point. I'm well aware of the Fed and it's stranglehold on American politics.

"They are bringing drugs, and bringing crime, and they're rapists,” this is what trump said. If you can't see the racism in that, you may be a racist.

Its racist because it's racist. Not because he's white. They're rapists. Sounds to me like he's saying they are all rapists.

Donald Trump officially put his name in the ring for the 2016 elections, and he touched down like a tornado with his presidential announcement at the Trump Tower in New York.
The well-known entrepreneur and American success story is brazenly taking a stab at real change for our country, with a solid plan to do away with the “losers” who run what was once the most powerful nation in the world.
His announcement speech exposed the flaws of the nation’s leaders and recalled strong elements from his best-selling book, “Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again.”
America has become the world’s “dumping ground” for everyone else’s problems. A “whipping boy” for other countries as we sink further and further into the debt of no return.
Trump warns of so-called leaders willingly giving our jobs to foreign hands and further crippling the economy. Literally taking future opportunities from our children and grandchildren.
Meanwhile those same leaders feed America’s looming debt beast — an $18 trillion tab — with foreign aid and terrible negotiations.
And what then do we get for extending our wealth to help a legion of other countries? Lack of respect. We’re the “laughingstock” of the world.
Americans are tired. They’re apathetic when it comes to political rhetoric. And Trump wants to “Make America Great Again.”
“Time to Get Tough: Making America #1 Again” is a pointed reflection on America today. It’s a face-the-facts profile of the damage the Obama administration has done and the concrete solutions needed to stop our decline. Some topics include:
• How to undo the fraud of Obamanomics and the disaster of Obamacare
• How to secure our border and stop Mexico’s illegal tidal wave
• How to create American jobs by forcing Communist China into truly fair trade
• How to retire our debt without endangering long-established programs — like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid — that millions of Americans depend on
• How to put OPEC out of business

hahhahhahha get ya some of that !

he says those things... but they are so vague. The equivalent is if some candidate came in guns ablaze for the Democrats promising to 'fix the climate' or 'broker world peace.'

"How to undo the fraud of Obamanomics and the disaster of Obamacare" What does that even mean? In what ways does he feel like "Obamacare" is a disaster (and what is the alternative?)

These people get twisted up that Obama and "the left" make "America" "look weak" and that Obama goes on "apology tours"... but out of the same mouths claim that "America has become the world’s “dumping ground” for everyone else’s problems." and "Lack of respect. We’re the “laughingstock” of the world."

Says he doesnt want to be a dumping ground and fund everyone else's problems... but I wonder if that includes Israel... I bet not.

How does one "put OPEC out of business"?

Clinton 70% Trump 16% in this poll of Hispanics. I'd say they are offended by his remarks regardless of how he wants to spin them.

It was totally racist. What he said is not a mystery. He said that Mexico isn't sending its best. It's sending drug dealers and rapists (and a few good ones). For one, since when did the Mexican government send illegal immigrants? That made no sense. At any rate, what he essentially said is that there are a ton of Mexicans in the US, and a bunch of them are drug dealers and rapists. What this does is create a stigma that racists will cling to, and breed suspicion of Mexicans in general. When someone running for the Presidency says something like this about an ethnic group it absolutely suggests that he feels like extreme criminality is a common trait among the people of that ethnicity. Of COURSE it came off as racist. But honestly, whether you think it was a truly racist comment or not, are you seriously okay with a person so painfully lacking in tact and sensitivity - so completely lacking any political skills - being the POTUS????

exactly....and the goal is to fire up the GOP base so they are mad at hispanics (which ones are illegal? who can tell?) and ignore how the rich are getting richer on the backs of the middle class and poor.
