    I think Trump actually DOES know what he's doing. He is feeding off of hate, and what do angry americans love the most? shoving themselves and their patriotism down the throats of the world and pissing everyone off in the process. I think everything he's saying and doing is totally calculated. But I don't believe it will work.

    Agree.

    Keep America Safe, that's what's most important right now.
    You want another Paris? 9/11? S. Bernadino?

    Trumps rhetoric and his supporters creates hatred for another 911.

    God, I hope Americans prove that they are thinking when they go and vote. And I hope that not just the hillbillies go vote. If that guy wins we are fucking doomed. It almost feels like a joke. I hate that I cannot vote yet.

    Its a slippery slope to yellow stars, cattle cars, and the showers.

    Hate is driven by fear and ignorance and should be dealt with accordingly.

    Well this is fun. There are a LOT of gifs and memes out there for us to share. :lol:

    Leeze, do you think maybe that everyone who doesn't want Trump to win will come out to the polls as a vote against him? If so, he'll surely lose by a landslide. :prayer:

    In my opinion all the candidates that are there are very polarising. This might make possible voters tired of making a decision. Any vote that is not given will make it easier for the wrong people to win... I hope people realise that their vote is important and go vote. If that guy wins, I might consider moving back to Germany.

    Trump is currently polling at approximately 30% in the GOP primary. 70% of Republican voters prefer someone other than him. He may be the front runner right now but it is highly doubtful he wins the nomination, never mind the general election.

    I've said it before, Koch always wins out in the end for the GOP and he's already made enemies with them. Even teabagger extremists politicians are finally casting him out.

    Candidates in the early stages of campaigns are often polarizing. Early on the goal is to get the party faithful on board and active. As the campaigns progress, a lot of the fringe candidates will be weeded out, and you'll see more of the general voting public start to get interested and involved. That will also cause candidates who are still in the running to moderate somewhat, to capture the independents/moderates/undecided voters while still trying to hang on to the more polarized party activists. We're still early stages here. I am surprised Trump is doing as well as he is (I thought he'd be done after a debate or two), but there is no way in hell that someone so polarizing has any shot at winning. By definition, being polarizing means you aren't capturing the votes of the moderates who make up the majority of voters.

    I agree, and this is a calming thought. This is the first presidentail election I am following a bit more closely, and also from in America. It is interesting to see how things develop and hear everyone talking. But yeah, some things sound like a joke.

    When you said you "Hate that you can't vote yet", what do you mean?
    What is in Germany that is holding you back from going there now?
    Why would a POTUS affect where you reside?

    Record numbers will vote if he miraculously makes the election & he won't win. He's a king troll. Nothing more. Place him in the halls of idiots like Ross Perot & Ralph Nader.

    That is a huge insult to Perot and especially Nader, who has done so much for this country that people don't even know.

    Neither Perot nor Nader is a good comparison for Donald Trump. Not sure one truly exists. Strom Thurmond and the Dixiecrats in 1948 may be the best example in somewhat recent American politics.

    Local Imam ousted for siding with Trump on immigration ban...

    A political conflict is playing out within the walls of the Muslim community in Southeast Texas. A man who was the leader of Muslims in the area said Thursday the conflict has resulted in his ousting.

    "Don't get me involved in any political games in the name of religion. I am not here a political man," Dr. Nidal Alsayyed said.

    But it's political motivations he said have forced him to resign as Imam.

    "Sadly, it's Clinton versus Trump," he said.

    Dr. Al Sayyed told KFDM News he was forced to resign as religious director of the Islamic Society of the Triplex after making comments Monday in which he agrees with Donald Trump's statements that the U.S. should temporarily stop accepting any new Muslim immigrants into the country.

    While the religious leader said he expected the call to resign eventually, he said it was sped up by politics.

    "I think any future candidates, presidents who do not support the fact that we need to be more safe and more cautious about whom to bring into this country, whether a Muslim or not," Dr. Alsayyed said.

    His comments he said had nothing to do with politics, but the former Imam said Trump's comments are in line with the Islamic religion.

    "The text of the holy Qur'an says the loss of one life is equivalent to killing the whole mankind," he said.

    His viewpoint, in part, shifting after lingering questions about the backgrounds of the couple responsible for the mass shooting in San Bernardino.

    "But the way it happens when you see this mass shooting and you see some people coming with such a very peaceful background and all of the sudden the intelligences themselves, the agencies are not able to figure out what's happening, why all of a sudden this guy or this girl or that lady open fire and kill 15 people, because American Muslims are not doing their job in the country. So we need to stop, we need to stop taking new ones until we fix the existing situation," Dr. Alsayyed said.

    The religious leader said there is a problem with some American Muslims seeing a conflict between following their religious beliefs and their patriotism to the U.S., and an issue differentiating the religious community and its political role. He said the two should not mix.

    "I came to know this morning from some close contacts and friends over 102 Imams, religious people in Houston, were fired and forced to be basically leave their jobs, leave their mosques only because they did not get along with the political agenda for their board members," he said.

    Dr. Alsayyed said he took the position to help young people here understand Islam, and it's the youth where Islamic leaders should focus their attention.

    "Nobody is investing a dollar to basically raise the understanding what does it take for a Muslim to live in the United States," he said.

    KFDM News spoke with a board member of the Islamic Society of the Triplex. He said the board is deliberating and will issue an official statement by Saturday in response to the comments from Dr. Alsayyed, but the Islamic Society of the Triplex does take issue with the statements made by the former Imam.
