    if he by some SLIM chance he does win the election you guys know I aint the "I told you so" type.......LOL!!!! RIGHT !

    You may not be the I told ya so type, but I sure am the betting type. I have a clean crisp $100 Bill that says trump doesn't even win the nomination. Let alone the presidency.
    what does a $100 bill look like ? no way buddy ! I have to agree with on that but if it were up to the people he'd have a pretty good chance but in the good ol' boy politcial arena he's toast...for now anyway ,at least until he crosses the line with the American public then who knows.

    but I'd be willing to bet 1 American dollar that he will be the guy that people will say "I wonder what would have happened if he became president"
    I am affraid he would get us into deep shit with his tough guy way of thinking and actions...but also he could be the guy who sourounds himself with experianced people rather than make resh dissisions (like obama)

    I also wonder sometimes if the expos would have won the world series in '95 if the players didn't go on strike. But ultimately, nobody cares.

    Lets put Trump and Bernie Sanders on a debate stage and see what happens. It would be a bit like putting me and Mike McCready on a stage for a guitar shootout. :lol:

    I'd love to see Bernie Sanders and Trump on the debate stage. Sooner or later, Trump is going to have to give some specific details in his answers. Trump stated he will repeal and replacement Obamacare with "something terrific." Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy ... what could it be?! Where is a sarcasm emoticon when you need one?

    If they are able to eliminate state lines for insurance like he's said time and again that will be huge. He's also said he wants people to be provided insurance if they can't afford it. He's not opposed to a single payer system like Canada. He wants to eliminate the rape job we were given when the Republicans fucked up Obamacare, which worked out REALLY well for insurance. Those are just a few of the reasons why Republicans want him eliminated from the race. He's waaaaaaayyyyyyy too left for the right wing whack jobs.

    Thanks for the heads up. Eliminating state lines for insurance would be a huge win for many people. We already have provisions for health insurance for those who cannot afford it. I had not heard that he would consider single payer like Bernie Sanders. Interesting.

    Sweet Jesus, the train keeps on a rolling. According to CNN this morning he's within 6 points of Hillary and has the support of over 80% of the Republican and independent voters. This is going to be one crazy election if it keeps going lIke this. I personally love to see Bush, and assholes like Chris Christie dumbfounded and scrambling to discredit him. So choice.

    Think those that strongly oppose him will keep him from being elected. Will be very interesting to see what the republican establishment will do to derail his campaign. They are gun shy though and Trump knew they would and will again try. Why he keeps his trump card visible, running third party.
    This will be fun.

    So happy Trump entered.

    Course Dems aren't fairing better with front runner's emails being perused by FBI for indiscretions. HA.

    That is exactly how I feel. I know that the potential future of the country shouldn't be a "fun" adventure, but man...it's exciting. After soooooooooooo many years of boring, lifeless, robotic candidates and everyone being controlled by the donating puppeteers...finally something that is refreshing on both sides. I love Sanders' attitude as well and he makes excellent points. I would absolutely love to see Trump and Sanders be the two nominees. I think the debates would be awesome, and it would be a close race between the two.

    One thing about Trump that I don't think people really consider is...I'm sure he wants to have a strong economy, probably more than any other candidate. And I doubt his economic policies will be built around what big corporations and banks want...it will be centered around the general population having better income overall. He wants Americans to have jobs, and have additional disposable income. He owns hotels and and casinos for God's sake...he needs people to have extra money. lol

    Choosing the President of the United States is not supposed to be great fun or great entertainment...but it often becomes both. Particularly if you buy in on a particular candidate or feel strongly against another.

    From Iowa through the drama leading up to the DNC, 2008 was an epic roller coaster. Who the hell knows what is going to happen on the Republican side this time? And would anyone really - honest and truly - be stunned if Hillary has to drop out for one scandalous reason or another? The Dems could be thrown into chaos, too.

    I agree with one and only one piece of his spiel, and that is this: " America is headed for grave grave disaster, financially, politically, socially, and the family values are already GONE! Family is no longer a structured effort, but instead it's whatever suits your personal whims and fantasies..but worst of all, America has forgotten it's roots, in hard work, faith, family, and integrity."

    Anything after that is just his ego stroking itself. He is definitely one one of the greatest Narcisists of our time.. However I worry in his getting elected because this country is FASCINATED with famous people.. And we have nincompoop techno-robot-voters holding ballots... It's scary, but I hope for the sake of this country you all are correct in saying this guy will never see the Oval Office other than to visit..

    the same ones that voted obama in right ? we have to look at what is going on in our country to understand why Trump is so popular, obama himself set up Trumps lead in the polls creating a mess of this country since he's become president, Trump fit right into an opening that the voters need filled and he's saying what Americans need or want to hear..it's that simple, the people are tired of lies, scandle and burden and a seasoned polition is trainned to lie from the start and make false promices to get into office, maybe Trump is not the man for the job ? but he's not hiding behind political bullshit to sway the voters, he has become popular and if he gets voted in we will find out if he's worth a shit...just like all the rest.
