I was going to ask everybody's opinion on Donald Trump as the idea of him running just seems nuts but sure enough he seems to be doing well so far.

Anyway what does everybody think of the candidates so far? I haven't been following it too hard but it sounded like democrats decided on Hillary Clinton. Personally I think they want to have a female president much like some wanted to have a black president with Obama to show how forward thinking the democrats are. It's all about image in some cases.

As far as Trump goes I think it's a bit insane he wants to build a wall between the usa and mexico. I think even most people against illegal immigrants weren't too thrilled about the idea of a wall.

Crap this is mostly related to the Political Junkie thread. You can close if you want. I was expecting a similar title to this one.

On one hand I think he's crazy. On the other I think he could be the right kind of crazy.




I keep telling myself the Regan was a really good president and he was an actor. Sooooo.....

He will never make it. NEVER.
He is crazy enough to scare away moderates.

He isnt popular in parts of Scotland, the rest of the Uk doesn't care. He is Americas problem unless he is trying to feth over residents of the Menie dunes. And it appears he has given up on that.








Donald Trump is for all intents and purposes the Democrats best card in the upcoming election, and this will remain to be true so long as he is in the running.

It can be boiled down to this.

We the Republican party have yet to learn that it is a very bad idea to select morons for high office.
We the Democrat party don't want to interrupt you making as mistake, but pounce afterwards on which particular part of the freakshow makes it though selection. We sincerely hope you give us an really entertaining candidate, it will make our trip to the White House so much easier.

Yeah this really does fall under the other tread. No censure in this lock mind you, just for cleanliness sake and what not
