December 26, 201510 yr Bought or not bought Science, there is no Republican gonna vote no third party in this election this time, or if they do they might as well cast a vote for Hillary.
December 26, 201510 yr I'm aghast that there are so many people that are seriously considering that man. I mean he's been entertaining and all but his act is growing old and is getting disturbing. He is bringing out the worst in people. It's very disturbing. Don't like Hillary? I get it. Vote for one of the other candidates besides Trump or vote for a third party candidate. I don't agree with a lot of Bush's politics but he is a decent, sensible, capable man. Trump has all but castrated Jeb and effectively ended his campaign. What are people thinking? I know it's just a minority of people that say Trump is their guy but it's still disturbing that a man like that is able to sway that many people. I've often wondered how in the hell a man like Hitler was able to brainwash so many to think that hate was the way to make a country great(AGAIN). Scary... What polls are you reading? lol. I say that there is more than the polls show. As a matter of fact I think one recent study shows that.
December 26, 201510 yr Bought or not bought Science, there is no Republican gonna vote no third party in this election this time, or if they do they might as well cast a vote for Hillary. Oh there's a ton of them that will. I was told as much by at least a half-dozen at Christmas functions these past couple days.
December 26, 201510 yr You are going to be terribly disappointed then. I will take Sanders over her as well, but he's not beating her and neither is any Republican. Keep thinking that.
December 26, 201510 yr What polls are you reading? lol. I say that there is more than the polls show. As a matter of fact I think one recent study shows that. Trump is carrying roughly 35-40% of Republicans which is probably somewhere around 20% of the voting population if I were to estimate. What scares me is the question: is Trump isolated and just a caricature of this frustration held by a portion of the US, or is he the new normal? Will we have candidates blaming our issues on the weak instead of asking the strong to make us better? If this is the new status quo I see 2020 now: Trump vs. Kanye West.

Well, in all fairness, Obama and Hillary have brainwashed much of the Left, yourself included.
December 26, 201510 yr This is whats really important. If America does not get turned around quick' date=' like a 180 degree turn from the direction its going in, there will be nothing left.[/quote'] This thinking has been around since cherry trees were chopped down by a cat with wooden teeth and funny hair.
December 26, 201510 yr This thinking has been around since cherry trees were chopped down by a cat with wooden teeth and funny hair. Yep. I hear it every election cycle. "Make America Great Again." "Bringing Back America." Every four years I learn just how much we stink.
December 26, 201510 yr Two comments: 1. When he first announced as a candidate, there is no way I thought Trump would be in the leading position that he enjoys now. Maybe like the classic underdog is an athletic contest, ".....the longer he hangs around..." Who knows? 2. I agree with Rockmom that the division the USA is feeling now is nothing like the Vietnam divide and the race riots of the late 60s. I think our country (and the world) is trying to learn how to handle and cope with the internet and social media, such as I am on right now, and the massive amount of information and viewpoints (bogus or valid) that are so readily available. Every Tom, Dick and Harriet (I included) can now give his or her view along with the more established pundits. I think this ability serves to create a divide that appears wider than it really is. Younger folks may not realize the vast culture-changing effects of the internet.
December 26, 201510 yr Yep. I hear it every election cycle. "Make America Great Again." "Bringing Back America." Every four years I learn just how much we stink. This is exactly why so many people are considering Trump. We've heard the same speeches and same rhetoric from candidates on both sides of the aisle for the last 20 years. Have they bettered our country? No! Our Immigration policy is downright dangerous, not just physically but financially. National debt, scary! Military downsizing, scary! Terroristic threat to Americans, scary! There are many serious issues facing our next president and Hillary Clinton is not a viable option for me! This is a person who was handed a great deal of responsibility as Secretary Of State, and failed miserably, and didn't even have the decency to own it! If Trump is the Republican nominee I will take the risk.
December 26, 201510 yr Ron Reagan on Trump: Trump is awful – for America and for the Republican Party. But we’ve known that for months. I know those hardcore Trump Yahoos are not all Republicans or conservatives. But when they go nuts over something as idiotic as Trump’s plan to keep out Muslims, it’s scary to me -- very scary. Many Trump Yahoos are just as confused about what conservatism really is. If the Republican Party nominates Donald Trump, it’s certain that Hillary will become the next president and we’ll all lose. Trump is nothing like my father. My father united people. That’s why he won elections. Trump doesn’t unite anyone but confused white people. No Such Thing as a Trump Republican - Michael Reagan - Page full
