That was said about the last 200 "Trump stunts". Not holding my breath.

Remember, he could shoot a man dead in the middle of fifth avenue and wouldn't lose a vote, according to him.

I was never voting for the guy unless he and Hil/Bernie were the last ones standing.  I admit that his campaign has intrigued me.  Said so many times.  And I think more than anything else, he's laid the groundwork for the way some will run their campaigns in the future. Here's a quote from GH:

 "He is using an angry populist message to pander to an electorate that is very fed up."

EGG-ZACHERY!!!  And I would venture a guess that the majority of these people aren't doing any real research to determine how or even if Trump can fix any of our problems.  They just know that the status quo of American politics ain't workin'.  They're tired of the fact that we're about to bust $19 TRILLION in debt.  They're tired of our soldiers getting killed in needless conflicts around the world. Tired of double digit inflation...of sending millions of jobs to China and all parts of the world...tired of millions of people entering this country illegally and the untold damage that does to our economy and the crime rate.  Tired of all of it.

It's been happening under both Democratic and Republican leadership.  And what I think people who hate Trump don't get is the more you rail against the guy, the more people hear that you just want to continue with business as usual, whether you support Hillary or Bernie or Ted or Carly etc.  I loathe politics and politicians.  But I've done more research in the last 3 weeks than I have in the last 5 elections combined.  It's because of Trump.  It's because I wanted to see if there was any real substance behind what he was saying.  To see if a brilliant business man that was so brash and anti-Washington could really handle the job as Commander in Chief. 

I'm convinced he can't! 

And I think/hope many of his supporters will come to their senses and realize the show is over.  I'm just hoping that in the future, someone with some of the same bravado and brashness, who actually has a well thought out plan and a history of tackling many of these issues will capture much of the American public the way Trump has.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

And I'm saying, it doesn't take a rocket surgery degree to realize Trump is NOT the solution to any of that shit. But I guess he's blunt and uncouth, so stupid people somehow think he is.

And that the dummy is pointing out all the problems but isn't gonna do a damn thing to fix it. If one looks close enough to his policy positions, they will see that he is part of the problem. Not the fixer. His message (which is a mirage) is that he is the one to save us all - much like others who have said the same creating a cult of personality which nothing behind it. Hitler, even Obama. A populist savior.

No, he's not.  He's simply run on a message of "I'm not them".  And whether he's the man to fix any of this shit or not is not the point.  He's right.  THEY have put this country straight on the path to Greece level bankruptcy.  At least Trump knows a thing or two about bankruptcy.   :thumsup:

Here's the thing.  Last night I read Ted Cruz' plan for a flat tax to cut the national debt in half and save SS and Medicare.  I'm sure the number crunchers in his camp have number crunched and it appears that in theory...it would work.  Looks damn fine on paper.  I'd be all for it.  I think we NEED it.  I've pretty much decided that Cruz is who I'm supporting.  But I don't believe for one second that this will happen or that he'll even try very hard to get it done.  Well why not?  Because like every other "politician" in this race, he's going to find that as soon as he tries, he's going to piss off some of the very powerful and influential people that he's beholden to, who helped put him in office. 

No, Trump can't get it done either, for a variety of other reasons.  But his message of "I'm not them" is enough right now for people to say fuck the status quo. IT'S NOT WORKING!!!!

Hmm.  I think I'm going to refuse to go to my next job interview.  That should handily win over the favor of the people hiring me.

It's not working?

Why is  he leading?

Regardless of whether or not he's the "guy", you might want to strap in.
He's got to be helluva following. And most of these are right down the middle.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Dude, he thought W was a great president.  He will vote for whoever has the highest numbers with an R behind their name.

Please to be looking back with your little penis brain and find a post where I said W was a great president.

He was a shit ton better than the black Jesus and I NEVER doubted whose side he was on!

But please to be searching?

When you have a typo, do you put white-out on your computer screen?

Boom...Pow...that very original joke just happened.  Srsly, I was talking about what "politicians" have been doing to this country.  That's what's not working.

I'd take Trump any day and twice on Sunday if he is up against Hillary or Sanders.

For God's sake Sanders is a fucking Socialist.  Do you hear that...a Fucking SOCIALIST.  We have fought wars to beat back socialism.  You can not possibly have socialism and still abide by the constitution.

And Hillary.  She's a Fucking CRIMINAL.  And not just for the emails.

Bush:  Pussy
Kasich:  Whiner
Rubio:  as deep as a puddle
Carson:  While nice enough guy, he's DULL
Paul:  Horrible on foreign policy
Christie:  Obama Hugging Fat Ass Moderate
Cruz:  Fine with me but will get pummeled in the general election
Fiorina:  I like her but she has been shut out by the establishment and the media
Huckabee:  really???
Santorum:  Really????

3/4 of the electorate doesn't want him.

And the ones who do are letting their anger guide them. The symbolic pendulum is swinging too far in the other direction. Trump is the right's 2016 version of Obama in 2008.

Thy said the same about Reagan.

The polls disagree with this premise.

Trump is the only one who loses to Hillary head to head right now. And that's before Cruz eviscerates her in the debates and before she gets indicted by the fbi.

Well as one supporter stated, "Having a relationship with Trump, is like having a relationship with Jesus."

No matter how big of a hammer you have, you can't pound common sense into some people.
