I'm sorry I aint been hear-I started this thread,after all
I been in the hospital-I had another stint put in.

Trump-criminy-TRUMP!
I dont know what to say except that he touches a cord in extreme right wingers.
Like Hitler.He encourages fighting at his rallys-like Hitler.
He's a racist extremist-like hitler-hes not stupid-hes running on the cult of personality-this is AMERICA.WE LOVE TV.
Trump is a DESPOT.
Why is he on the GOP ticket? Even Nixon Republicans hate him! He's the most dishonest scumbags who has ever run for president-If he does win-I'll bet you dollars to donuts somebody shoots his dumb ass.
Wake up.

My god-hasnt history spoke to you f**king Trump morons? You cant see? Trump supporters are comprised of folks who want to be in a pre WW2 Isolationist world. WAKE UP! Hes a f**kin billionare! How does he speak to the common people-?Because dum f**king TV addicted morons will vote for him-I would rather live in f**king Germany right now.-Because-the home of Hitler-has more intelligent politics then this joke of a s**t country election.Trump+HITLER. And that aint a joke or even a simile-it IS. hes a big mouth personality.God help us.-or you-Im an atheist.  I aint putting my life in  the hands  of imaginary comic book gods.
Yup-I s**t on Trump supporters and Christians all at once! Aint it groovy?

Without even getting into whether Trump's policies are right or wrong, I can say he cannot be the leader of this country. There's no other candidate I call recall in my lifetime who has been so loathed. His rallies are becoming riots.

Sadly, much like ancient Rome, we, as a country, seem to enjoy a spectacle. Talking puts the average person to sleep, or they tune out and wait for the mutated version of what happened to pop up on Facebook and Reddit.

I'm not going to repeat what RC said would happen if Trump wins, but I will say that I would not be shocked, given the volatile response he brings out in both supporters and opponents, if he doesn't survive until the election itself. If he does win, then I think RC may be correct.

The only real upside to Trump making it to the election would be that we may see the largest increase in voter turnout in decades (hopefully to keep him OUT of office).

As I have already said in other postings, I'm not a fan of any of the candidates. The bulk of their "promises if elected" will never happen, which has been the norm for decades. So don't slap any labels on me for disliking Trump. I've disliked that blowhard since he first started oozing into the public consciousness ages ago.

His rallies are becoming riots because of free speech hating thugs. Since when do people go into an event to protest it? Do anti abortion protesters go into abortion clinics pretending to be patients? gimmee a break they are trying to be confrontational and to intimidate people.

if he runs for the president and gets the most votes then he is. thats all it means. Obama isn't our "leader' in any other significant sense

should we just perpetually be at war ? we're SUPPOSED to be "isolationist". We joined ww2 effort because we thought Hitler was a threat to us. Hes gone

Bring America Home isn't the what George Mcgovern said? Instead people elected Nixon! past time to correct that mistake

I mean  I think he cannot possibly get the majority of votes. I have never seen a candidate so hated in my lifetime. I'm shocked he's made it this far.

I see. Personally I was a Ron Paul guy and see Trump as sort of a Simon bar Kakhba https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simon_bar_Kokhba figure. i watched his rally this morning it was okay in terms of presentation but substantively it was not really my thing other than generally being anti establishment.

Well-going to an event to protest it is free speech-Where else would you protest? Outside a laundromat?
And anti abortionists dont sneak into abortion clinics-they BLOW THEM UP.

I take it you haven't seen peace riots taking place, since that won't get in the news as much as a f**king violent riot.

Do anti abortion protesters go into abortion clinics pretending to be patients?

No, they burn them down without realizing that it isn't just for abortions

Thats an entirely different subject I mean when they have protests they don't go in to the clinic to do it.

When the Republican convention was in NYC in 2004 there were a million people OUTSIDE protesting. they didn't try and take over the convention or something. That's not what a protest is.

A protest is demonstrating that you don't like what is happening, not trying to physically sabotage the thing. that's censorship.

I'm also getting annoyed by this Hitler comparison because the comparison waters down the horror's of Nazi Germany. (No thanks to Glenn Beck who seemed to believe Trump is one of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse...) I don't mean any offence to the other's posting the Hitler crap... I just decided to avoid it because the argument is stupid.

I'm not sure if Trump is going to build a wall, kick the illegals out of America, ban sharia practicing Muslims in this country... but I'm willing to take that chance... Hillary is not going to attempt to do any of that stuff... And I have doubts that Cruz can beat Trump in the primary.

What I like about Trump - he's taking away 90% of the democrat talking points. So far the only thing they can b***h about is his wall and kicking illegal aliens out... And those ads are making others want to vote for Trump. (A friend at work was telling me that all those negative ads make him want to vote for Trump - I said Awesome!)
