He can seriously be considered president of the most powerful country in the world?

Reading and watching (like yesterday debate) a lot lately and would love to know what you people think about him and his ideas to "make America great again"

No doubt he has an endless ambition to gain power (and money in the process)... and listening him talking is clear he going for everything :shock:

Re: Donald Trump

He wouldn't get elected, I can promise you that, but he makes great headlines doesn't he? Media loves him like they loved Obama, because of the novelty factor.... sit back and enjoy the circus, since you don't live here in the States, but "no" not electable, fact.

Re: Donald Trump

[QUOTE=floridaorange;1172718] sit back and enjoy the circus [/QUOTE] Lol, you would be surprised to hear the amount of political circus material i hear on a daily basis around here...

I will take for granted your "not elected" but i wouldn't be that sure... When the basic things you think are sure aren't that sure, shit goes real and really primitive.

Will see.

Re: Donald Trump

You should see some of the clowns we have elected. The last one just got booted by his own party.

Donald has less government experience than Sara Palin - she at least managed half a term as a governor of a remote state. He hasn't even been mayor of a small town.

In a few weeks he will disappear (from the presidential running). Only to make huuuuuuuuuuge money on the speaking circuit. He's a playa but no no serious candidate.

I don't think that he'll necessarily disappear, but his popularity won't last - being able to ride a wave this early and sustain it all the way until the Republican convention is unheard of. But, he's much like Rob Ford - he's a voter's reaction and statement of their dissatisfaction of the status quo - almost a protest vote, but more likely to harm than help the system in any meaningful way.

The Repubilcan establishment will never give him the nomination - it'd be suicide if they did. But, if he decides to run and ignore the (meaningless) pledge he signed as a 3rd party candidate, they're fucked anyways.

America can't afford another Republican president. all they want to do is go to war just to keep the military complex strong and flex the American "dick" so to speak in order to prepare for the second coming of their white long-haired carpenter which will never fucking happen. we need progress and future-oriented policies, not war and individual freedom-stifling policies that just push us back into the Dark Ages.

Re: Donald Trump

The Republican Party needs to get out living in the past and get ahead of issues instead of denying them, or using religion as a means of keeping voters ignorant, if they want to remain relevant.

Re: Donald Trump

despite the previous two statements - which seem very sesnible - WHOEVER is republican nomination will gather close to 50% of the US popular vote - (same for democrats). Its just a few % points either way

Completely dude, the swing vote is essential to a win. But that's now starting to change - they're becoming a dying breed, as younger voters are not connecting with Republicans on a lot of social issues and ideas. Add to that the Latino vote having to deal with some pretty racist bullshit from some of the candidates, and feel pretty alienated to put things mildly.

It'll swing back eventually, but not with most of the candidates that they've put on the debating stage this presidential cycle. No small feat to top last cycle's clowns.

In light of what happened in Paris (and more recently San Bernardino), a temporary injunction due to insufficient vetting isn't necessarily the end of the world for the bleeding hearts (while it could very well be for innocent bystander citizens). Chicago and Toronto are now on the target list after all:

Re: Donald Trump

So Obama is here in Argentina.. I'm listening him speaking and it's quite clear his oratory and all.. very easy to understand his ideas and concepts (agree or not) generally speaking, but one question (imo) made him sound with doubts or at least less clear than all of the other answers..

What do you think about the possibility of Trump winning the presidency and why lots of americans sort of "buy" his ideas and concepts considering how crazy they sounds for the rest of the world?

Thought it would be interesting to hear your inputs on this because i think is a valid question.. And every time i listen Trump speaking i cant imagine why would anybody might choose such an irresponsible person to take care of your country.. Really hard to believe.

Maybe Obama is not the best president you can have but comparing with Trump... :shock:

Re: Donald Trump

Trump won't win.

He's too polarizing a figure for the Republican party, and it would be the Republican establishment committing suicide if they did. Think about the people he'd have to work with - Paul Ryan, Rince Preibus, Mitch McConnell and others who hold office in the legislative branches - they'd never be able to work with him, and would cause a huge fissure in the party that's already happening.

The Republicans are in a very precarious position - they're almost verging on what could become a split in their own party with the nominees that are making it to the top with Ted Cruz and Trump, and that's partly because the Tea Party has taken them further right than they have before.

The reason Trump is getting as much press as he is, is because his outrageous statements sell air time and units. Swing voters are the people that decide the elections, and I highly doubt they'll go with Trump. If he gets the Republican nomination, he'll drive the Republican brand into the ground. If they do a brokered convention and give the nomination to someone else, the Republican party will likely face a split.

Re: Donald Trump

I feel like America is being trolled right now.... Donald Trump is a celebrity, a reality tv celebrity, and a larger than life figure with fantastical ideas and an enormous ego. He doesn't represent the majority but he does represent an angry portion of America who loves a rich angry white man who they can relate to, regardless of what he really stands for. Having said all that, he basically is guaranteeing a Hilary Clinton presidency. But social media makes it seem like Trump is extra special, he's not. Don't buy into the bullshit.

Re: Donald Trump

I would love to see him elected, purely for comedy value alone. Kinda funny how the opposition have not dug up his exploits at Studio 54 yet. Donald Trump, legendary clubber.

Re: Donald Trump

If Trump wins the republican nomination at least he (almost) certainly won't win the presidency. Cruz on the other hand...[URL="http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/between-donald-trump-and-ted-cruz-trump-is-the-lesser-of-two-evils-which-is-why-cruzs-popularity-a6971261.html"]

Between Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, Trump is the lesser of two evils - Cruz's new popularity should worry us all | Voices | The Independent[/URL]

[QUOTE]Not only does Cruz flat-out refuse to acknowledge the existence of man-made climate change, but he also claims Christians can’t be terrorists and doesn’t believe in the constitutional divide between church and state. And when it comes to healthcare, President Cruz would happily drag America 30 years into the past just to satisfy his own curious belief structure. [/QUOTE]

Re: Donald Trump

Cruz can't even get his own party behind him - other members of his own party in the Senate hate him.

He'll get demolished by whomever the Democratic candidate is. The Republican is basically trying to decide which bug they're going to have to eat.

Re: Donald Trump

at least we can count on another 4 years of Republican obstructionism ie not doing their job. i am just glad i live in a liberal state as the Republican's motto is "return everything to the States" or White-Catholicism Reigns Supreme and nobody else matters but us and our attainable dream of being a billionaire. maybe once all of the bigot racist assholes die off from heart disease and lung cancer, America will finally be moving forward progressively. of course by that time, global warming will have its hands over us and our kids' kids' kids will hopefully find a way off this Planet we are doing a fine job of killing.

I guess if everyone were as open minded and accepting as you, we'd all be a lot better off ?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, you're the reason someone like Trump is as popular as he is.

I can certainly see the appeal of Trump, sure.. just as I can see the appeal of Hitler post-WW1 Germany.

I tend to use logic and truth when evaluating any major decision in my life not just "beliefs". I have said this many times before.. I would definitely consider myself a Republican if they were the party that they were before the 1990's. I don't take it well when a major party wants to create all of these specialized rules around religion/its OK to discriminate or be outright racist in the name of religion. Religion is created by man, therefore we are its rules and how we interpret those rules is in our court. Also, Yes.. I do think we would be better off if people were more open minded and accepting of people who are different than themselves. There is only 1 party in our politics that is taking the White Catholicism Power message to heart while the other just wants people to live out their lives, no matter if you are a man, woman, straight, gay, white, purple, whatever the fuck. A life is a life and we should cherish it in my view.
