This is a very interesting read....

“There’s only one: Trump,” he said. “The reason why, in my opinion: He spends his own money. He’s not going to have any lobbyist or any high zillionaires that he has to do favors for, and I understand Clinton has already got millions of dollars from China and Japan and all them. So who in the hell does she owe favors to? If Trump got in, he doesn’t owe anybody. I haven’t heard him say one word that I don’t agree with. I don’t think he can do a lot of the things he said, but by God, he’s saying it.”

He has no ideas, just catch phrases. Let's make America great again (but I have no idea how).
Voting for Trump is voting for "Hope and Change".

Good lord... Really guys, Trump? Why do you like him? Because he has a big mouth and likes to say he's not PC? I haven't seen the term PC thrown around as much as it has lately and I blame that on Trump. Just about every political thread some conservative is mocking a liberal for being PC.
Here's a question, what does Trump actually plan on doing if he's elected? This country has huge problems, debt and lots of it coming from every angle, War and we are constantly at war with no end in sight. So let's keep it simple and ask what are his ideas to quell these issues?
Bueller...Bueller... Bueller...

America has been in trouble for a long time with the corruption running within our government, thanks to private interest big pockets.

President Trump...It not only could happen. It's happening.
Like the rest of you in the beginning I didn't take Trump very serious.
Well, he is up 20% on the GOP field and that is before San Bernadino.
Trump has guts. Americans are patient people. But, we are not cowards.
We will not tolerate another religion or culture demanding we Worship their way.
So what I believe you are seeing is a message to the rest of the World.
We will elect Trump. We will go Postal on your a$$ if you don't knock it off.
After all that has happened. You might just see how it rolls off your tongue...
President Trump

I have been on the Trump bandwagon from the get-go...I can't wait when he sits in office and starts working on cleaning up this mess. If that means in some way in using the iron fist on those politically correct pundits to do away with inefficient behaviour so be it.
It is hard for some to admit they support Trump.
20 trillion in debt....Anyone but a politician.

Nope. Hillary is FAR more preferable than Trump ever would be. I look at Hillary as Obama 2.0. I don't mind living here under Obama, so I wouldn't mind living here under Hillary. As for Rubio, he is the best moderate Republican candidate behind Bush (but Bush is all but washed up at this point). I'd welcome a Republican that was willing to compromise with the other side instead of just stubbornly refusing to compromise on anything like we've had for the last 8 years.

He will rip out Hillary's jugular.
Oh my dear lord. I'm telling you right now, should there ever be a Trump v Hillary debate.... I'm going to prepare for it the same way I do for the Super Bowl. BBQ up some wings and ribs. Get the beers in ice.
I've thought about this a little bit over the past few months. Hillary just isn't very good speaking off the cuff in general. I'm struggling to picture her trading jabs with Trump. Especially since it is very likely he will not use kid gloves. ALL THAT corruption and ALL THOSE lies.... and there is so much of it..... I can't wrap my mind around her being anything more than a deer in the headlights. Unless, of course, Trump really is a Hillary plant.

Pretty amazing that a lot of people are looking for this guy to be our president...this presidential debate looks like it's part of a Ricki Lake show.....some of the same people that are hoping he becomes president are the same people that feel like the government is run by the corporations...but somehow he will be different..he can't be bought..who cares if he can't be bought...doesn't mean he's fit to be president..
Well you know what? People who voted for Obama thought he was going to be different...how did that turn out for folks...

Fixed that for you. I'm surprised you didn't make that parallel. You were on track to do it.

this about sums it up
Enter The Donald.
His popularity is traceable to the fact that he rejects the moral authority of the media, breaks their commandments and mocks their condemnations. His contempt for the norms of political correctness is daily on display.
And that large slice of America that detests a media whose public approval now rivals that of Congress relishes this defiance. The last thing these folks want Trump to do is to apologize to the press.
And the media have played right into Trump’s hand.
They constantly denounce him as grossly insensitive for what he has said about women, Mexicans, Muslims, McCain and a reporter with a disability. Such crimes against decency, says the press, disqualify Trump as a candidate for president.
Yet, when they demand he apologize, Trump doubles down. And when they demand that Republicans repudiate him, the GOP base replies:
“Who are you to tell us whom we may nominate? You are not friends. You are not going to vote for us. And the names you call Trump – bigot, racist, xenophobe, sexist – are the names you call us, nothing but cuss words that a corrupt establishment uses on those it most detests.”
What the Trump campaign reveals is that, to populists and Republicans, the political establishment and its media arm are looked upon the way the commons and peasantry of 1789 looked upon the ancien regime and the king’s courtiers at Versailles.

Not going to happen. Once somebody starts to spend some money hitting Trump with clips of him praising Hillary, Obama and calling Bush Jr and idiot or him claiming to have plan to keep out illegals while also claiming he can not keep illegals out of his own company or that he knows how to defeat ISIS and the clips of him not know who is even involved, or a million other things. Trump is an easy Target in the general election. Not that I ever see him getting that far. His support has remained about the same all along, slipping as of late but, are GOP candidates leave the filed their supporters do not go to him. In a general election he would galvanize the opposition who would fear his Presidency as a global embarrassment and lower turn out among the general GOP who are embarrassed by the guy. Add to that just general fatigue from him being in front of the camera so early so often. If Trump had pooped up later in the primaries he might have a chance but, peaking so early has is never a good thing.
