US Election 2016

Hendo, do some more research on Fred Trump. I read the article I'm pretty sure you're basing your argument off of. But if you look deeper into it, Trump hasn't just maintained his father's company. Fred Trump was a carpenter who went into real estate during the great depression selling cheap homes. Donald Trump worked for his father's company for several years before inheriting it. When he did finally inherit his father's estate, he drastically changed the company's business model. Rather than building cheap homes Donald focused on investment properties. He bought 40 Wall Street for $1 million and over the course of a few years developed it into the Trump Tower which has to be worth at least 300x his original investment. He really is a brilliant investor..

In my opinion he's running his campaign the way he is because it's working. He never expected to get as far as he has. In the beginning it was a joke to him, but his attitude in the beginning has gained him a ton a traction so he's stuck with it. He's become a lot more serious since he became the front runner though.

I don't know.. I'm just rambling on. I respect the guy. He's a loudmouth and sometimes an @sshole on TV but that is not the real Donald Trump. It only makes sense for a business person to run our country. Career politicians are clueless.

Clown show is right. I still think he would quit after a few months... once he realizes he doesn't wield supreme power to just do whatever he wants, like build a wall or ban everyone of a single religion / heritage.

He's not a moron, he knows the presidency is not a dictatorship.

All he's doing is proving the presidential election is a popularity contest.

Nothing like having a President who is willing to bail out his voters who beat up those who appose him...

Has anybody ever watched Idiocracy? If you have not seen that movie, now would be a good time... It is kind of a "futurementary" A documentary about America's future. We are getting closer and closer to that every day.

It is interesting because in head to head polls I have seen vs Hillary Clinton, Trump is supposedly getting 25% of the African American vote. Which is crazy because Republican's never get anything over like 8%. But with his immigration policy I see why African American's vote for him. They lose the most jobs due to illegal immigration.

Always make me laugh because Canada has the you can be an idiot policy! People who have dumb stuff like a DUI can't even
visit Canada. Haha.

Yet, yet, yet, the hoi polloi appears on intend on racing into the path of horror playing out in the present.

G-d Save America indeed.

about Canada...Customs is much less rigourous than the US Customs...as long as the person doesn't come reeking of liquor/drug use and the person isn't acting a-fool, many times that person will get in without issue...

Anyhow

Trump encourages ppl to act up during the rallying is exciting the masses...

98% democratic or independent, lol.

Trump's shot himself in the foot with minorities...

Some news yesterday that Gary Johnson the Libertarian candidate is poling at 10% in a theoretical race with Clinton vs Trump. Would be cool to see a third party get on the debate stage. Libertarians are the only other party that will be on the ballot in all 50 states.

Would be nice to see his GMAT score for getting into Warton. But he won't release and I don't blame him. Obama wouldn't even release his grades so why so anyone else. And that was the guy who promised to have the most transparent US Government ever. What a clown!!!!

Obama is a made up person! Where was his birth certificate after so many years?

Those currently in office are doing ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING to keep him from being elected because they feel threatened by him. But the reality is he's a brilliant businessman, while all other candidates are nothing but career talking-heads.

I live in the South and I can assure you minority turnout against Trump will be far less than minority turnout when Obama was elected. Hundreds of thousands of minority voters cast their one and only vote for Obama in 2008, and have not voted since and will likely never vote again.

I do agree with you about the two-party system being flawed, Hendo. Which is part of the reason I so adamantly support Trump. The Republican establishment BEGGED him to run as a Republican a year ago. But the same "establishment" now despises Trump because he can't be controlled by the party.

Denying Trump's momentum would be denying common sense. At this point it's apparent it will be Trump vs. Clinton. Hillary Clinton IS A LIAR. As others have said, she will say/do anything to gain support. It's shameful that anyone would rather elect a pathological liar over a successful billionaire.

Hendo - I appreciate the ongoing dialogue. Most on the forum have been ignoring this discussion, but I love talking politics

And you think Trump, who yesterday said he could go out on the street pull out a gun and shoot someone and no one would bat an eyelid about it, is a viable option over Hilary for President!! The guy is out to lunch permanently, he thinks building a wall to keep out Muslims is the way forward. Americans need to build a wall alright, around Trump Towers to keep him in and as far away from the Presidency as it's possible to get. America is turning into a laughing stock even considering him, he rants and raves and has been encouraging aggression in his rally supporters then steps back not knowing what to do when they start fighting!
