Re: Republican nominee for President
 

If a Republican politician candidate doesn't emerge out of tonight's debate then I will likely vote for Trump - if I vote.

Given the potential candidates I don't see how anybody could vote for anyone else:
Clinton: She's a well versed power hungry liar who has made a mess out of every appointee job she's had.

Sanders: Not into making USA the USSA just yet

Bush: Please not another one.

Most of the rest of the Republicans - 4 years of mediocre political hacks running the show.

I think the only politician with any shot that I would support is John Kasich, and I think he would be an excellent President, but the public won't elect him.


One note about Trump, and why I think a lot of voters ultimately will support him if he is the candidate, is his ability to get things done. If he pulls off this event competing with the Republican debate, and gets any major sway from it, that is crazy good given that he had maybe a week or less to get it done.

Anyone who thinks Hillary/Bernie/Jeb/et al are going to change the status quo is kidding him/herself.

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;1138518]Not wanting a ton of discussion on this, but does anyone personally know a Trump supporter? He's high in the polls, but it's like people don't want to admit they support him. EVERY ONE I talk to (working at an extremely conservative University) thinks he's fucking nuts. By now, I would have thought I'd have seen a sticker, a shirt, a hat, but nothing. Anyone met one? If so, did they give any rational reason as to why?[/quote]

I have some friends that are voting for him only because they think he can beat the democrats.
They refuse to vote democrat because they want to associate themselves with wealth and god.
Funny thing is, they are drowning in debt and talk shit about everyone in their church.

They also voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger for Governor of Cali.

I don't think Trump is anything other than the next Vlad Putin looking to line his pockets with our money.

It's a lot of that, also I think people are fed up with the same crap political process. They want a true outsider.

I think trump is really a salesman, ultra competitive and willing to say whatever to ge the job.

I dont see a lot of honesty

I got friends who are lazy and want everything for free and don't think they should pay for any of it. They are Bernie supporters.

I mean come the fuck on...as many people who call trump crazy should look at Bernie. He is just as nuts. Free college, actual free health care, free paid leave to have a baby....fuck him. What has this country become? socialist! Man fuck you Bernie

Exactly. I don't really align with one party or another, but I sure as hell am not going to vote for someone just because I like/dislike the other candidate.

What's truly sad is those are the top two candidates the Republicans have. It's like a bad SNL skit. Reagan must be rolling in his grave.

No, what's truly sad is the top 4 candidates both parties have. Jefferson, Washington, Roosevelt (both), Kennedy and Reagan all are weeping at what their country has become. None of them would want the drivel that passes as United States political discourse.

The left looks at the right and laughs, while blindly praising snakes and vipers. The right looks at the left and scoffs, while blindly professing morality.

He screwed up by continuing, but these repetitive statements of ideology aren't anything new in politics.

Re: Republican nominee for President
 

There's a difference between repeating ideology and crowbarring the same exact phrase in over and over even when it wasn't on topic. I think Christie is right, he's the boy in the bubble.

Christie is right to a point, but let's remember young senators like Rubio and Obama are/did face this same criticism. Both green.

I actually think Christie has been the biggest surprise in my eyes (except for Bernie-never thought he'd be this great on the national stage). Christie is a guy who talks actions and plans...trump, Rubio, etc really haven't so far. I like that.

About Rubio yes he was and he was right about the taxes on the millionaires at least in NJ but what he tried to lay off on his predecessor was that it was him and not Christi and folks that just ain't so .Christi is just as big an ass as Corzine and Codey or McGreevey when it comes to taxes and fees on residents in NJ.

They had a good interview with him on NPR the host and him are very confident about their showing in New Hampshire. Not sure I would call it a surprise as that is where he has invested his time and money to be casual followers it will sure seem that way.

What about Sanders seems like a cartoon character?

Hold banks responsible?

Minimize the gap between rich and poor to avoid economy collapse?

Raise minimum wage since wages are stagnant?

Raise taxes and institute universal healthcare (like most modern countries) that will save people in the end in money they are paying for health insurance?


Exactly what part of his platform seems cartoonist?
