i think barring 1 or 2 people on this board, we're all pretty much in agreement Trump is not good for the country. What happens if this continues and he is elected? I will agree that barring something crazy like Hillary being indicted, she will beat him, but what if?
What does that say about our country that someone like him could be elected?
D-Dog, what it says about our country, plain and simple, is that
we have no leaders. For a man who has declared bankruptcy four times to convince people he is the one to fix our economy is incredible. For a man who wants to be our President to say he will have to research the KKK to see if he should repudiate a former Grand Wizard's endorsement is incredible. For a candidate to make up the excuse that his earpiece didn't work at the precise moment the words "Ku Klux Klan" were spoken, and he didn't say he couldn't hear, and every single other word during the interview came across just fine, and for voters to blindly and blithely accept that childish excuse, is incredible. For a candidate for President of the United States to not be familiar with what the KKK was and is, illustrates that he is particularly ill-educated, unknowledgable, and particularly unfit for the highest office. For a candidate for the most powerful office in the world to base his campaign on his ability to insult his opponents rather than lay out specific, well-thought-out positions and solutions, and for the voters to not care, is incredible. For a billionaire who has contributed at least hundreds of thousands (probably millions) of dollars to political candidates all up-and-down the political spectrum in exchange for back-room access to the policymakers to sell himself as an outsider when, in fact, he is more of an insider than any of them because of his monetary contributions to politicians of all philosophies, and for the voters to be taken by his con, is incredible. For a man who has absolutely no experience militarily to simply say he's going to wipe out ISIS without being able to give any specifics on how, and for the voters to be ok with that, is incredible. For a candidate to say he's going to build a wall on the Mexican border that is estimated to cost $19 billion (testing my memory on that figure), and not tell us how he's going to pay for it other than to promise that Mexico will pay (even though Mexico has already said no), and for voters to accept that as sufficient, is incredible. For a candidate to employ illegal immigrants at low wages to hypocritically say we need to get rid of them, and for the voters to accept that, is incredible. The idea that these candidates are our best and brightest is incredible. At this point, I would prefer Mitt Romney as the Republican candidate. And i think it's entirely possible he may come out of a brokered convention in just that capacity. We need someone with the courage, humility and genuine toughness of that Navy Seal that just won the Medal of Honor, not a blowhard bully who dyes his hair and paints his skin.
