Maybe Donald can get Beavis and Butthead to appear at his next rally.

If Donald wants Bernie and Hillary at his next rally, all he has to do is ask.

Is this from your own survey of teenage girls?

A large part of the Donald's problem is that as a lad he never was taught respect for females.

Failing to criticize Trump for denigrating women sends a message to teenage girls that it's OK for men of power to verbally abuse the opposite sex.

Failing to criticize HILLARY for enabling a sexual predator sends a message to teenage girls that it's OK for men of power to SEXUALLY abuse the opposite sex.

Maybe Donald should aspire to Bill Clinton's level of respect for women?

A shout-out to members of the BGP 'I Hate Hillary' Men's Club: Ask your wives if they also sanction candidate Trump's shameless denigration of women, as you do.

Shameless denigration of women, the women who work for him don't seem to think he doesn't value them. He says a lot of things for shock value and to get attention. So many of his statements have been taken out of context altogether. Can anyone imagine a debate between Hillary and Trump, I have a feeling a lot will be bleeped out. No, Science Friction, I haven't made a choice and won't until May 2016.

Ouch. Not to mention her attempts to destroy the women.

Sounds like you're defending Trump's anti-female rants as "Donald just being Donald." So you're comfortable with Trump's references to menstruation and schlongs and such?

Overact much?

 

"Oh, Rhett. Where shall I go? What shall I do?"

We haven't even gotten to THAT yet.

twotoplace is going to single handed turn me into a Trump voter.

I do agree with this, but it's also precisely why I find him so troubling. I think he knows how to appeal to a certain segment of Americans and I think he knows how to sell himself as their savior. That gives him a certain amount of power on its own; he's tapped into something unnerving about our society and he knows how to harness it.

 

To the extent his policy ideas can be gleaned, there's a strain of authoritarianism that undergirds them. His ideas appear unconcerned with the reality of how our government is designed and what constraints are placed on the office he's after. It is an equation for a crisis of republicanism: He will fix problems and he will do so because he is a powerful man and anyone or anything in his way is a weakness and he will have a gaggle of unswerving supporters cheering him on.

 

FWIW, Cruz is more frightening to me. He's more egomaniacal than people perceive Trump to be and he's far more shrewd as a politician. Trump would be up against a Congress unlikely to give him what he wants - and dare I think might fight back - but I expect that Cruz would abuse them into submission. I really don't know what Cruz would do or wants with all of that power either, but even taking his policies at face value would give us an extreme and cruel government.

 

 

The fact that everyone is ignoring this post right here is troubling and just another reason why discussing politics is a waste of time these days. Habib broke it down so well no one wants to engage in this debate with him.

 

Tells me all I need to know. Habib for POTUS 2016. Word up.

Dr Phil is in the house.

I would vote for Habib.

FWIW, the Talking Heads in one of the 24/7 news channels that I was recently watching seem to think that the way the Republican nomination machinery is structured that Trump can't win. The general thought of the discussion panel was it will be a brokered convention and the likely choice will be Rubio or Cruz.

So, all these Trump-Clinton election discussions are a moot point and probably not going to come to fruition.

I could never vote for Hillary because of her support for free trade agreements and for the h1-b visa program, which doles out jobs in my field to cheap foreign nationals. I also believe she is just too old for the rigour of the Presidency. Add that to liberal SCOTUS appointments and expanded gun control and there is no way I can consider it.

 

America is fed up with federal government and Trump is effectively cultivating this anger. I find his total disregard for political correctness refreshing and his candidacy having the potential to bring needed revolutionary change to presidential politics.

 

I find his Islamic immigration pause proposal to be completely reasonable, as France has already implemented similar immigration restrictions. I also find his ability to separate defence of country from foreign interventionism refreshing. His positions on free trade and other middle class issues appealing. Lastly, his financial independence frees him from influences that are not constructive for the general population.

 

Do you really want another President controlled by special interests and insensitive to the needs of the electorate?
