Americans Won't Elect a Vulgar/Bullying Blowhard

[bripat9643]

The irony as I see it with Trump is that he'll win the GOP nomination because they finally found a real asshole who says out loud exactly what they think and hates having to explain anything beyond perpetual one-liners. But then he'll lose the general election because moderates will deem him beyond colorful and into asshole territory, which is unattractive.

His strength right now will become his weakness later.

The independents are all supporting Trump. Your belief that they support Obama's policies is pure delusion. They all hate Obamacare and the want illegal immigration controlled.

The only ones supporting trump are old bitter uneducated white people in flyover states and there are not enough of those to elect anyone nationally

Right, that's why he's beating all the other Republican contenders for the nomination by a mile.

If there is one useful thing that Donald Trump is doing, it’s identifying who in the Republican Party and the conservative movement the true rubes are.

No, what he's doing is making it plain that the Republican establishment has no intention of doing what rank and file Republicans want them to do. They are openly telling the rank and file to stuff it.

The American people won't elect a vulgar/bullying/blowhard for President even if the ultra-right wing of the Republican Party manages to nominate him. We have never before seen the kind of campaign we are seeing this year within the Republican Party. All their chickens are coming home to roost. The worst excesses and policies of those running as Tea Party candidates in the past few years are combined in the two leading candidates, Donald Trump and Canadian born Rafael 'Ted' Cruz.

Trump and Cruz are espousing policies and positions appealing to the worst instincts in our nation in an effort to heighten people's fears over terrorism and the economy. They are playing to existing racism and the intolerance of the religious right in America. They think nothing of lying to excite a crowd or gain a vote.

Trump is speaking to the least educated in the nation. Cruz is speaking to them and evangelical voters consciously displaying a total lack of respect for our founding fathers who understood what they were doing when they opted for a clear separation of church and state. They understood people came to America to escape religious persecution and to be allowed to practice religion, or not practice it, as they saw fit and not have government pass laws favoring the beliefs of one religion over another.

The founding fathers, all white men, did leave things out of our constitution and some were added with the Bill of Rights. We just celebrated the 224th Anniversary of its ratification. Because some were and represented slave owners it wasn't until the civil war was fought that between 1865 and 1870 the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments were passed giving African Americans their rights. It wasn't until 1920 with the ratification of the nineteenth amendment women got the right to vote. We have yet to pass the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) to fully include women in the constitution. But change does come, even if much too slowly, because the majority of American people are decent and with the right leadership eventually overcome their fears and biases to do the right thing.

Trump and Cruz campaign on the premise they can turn back the progress we have made and it could happen. They could appoint arch-conservative Supreme Court Justices and reverse decisions including Roe v. Wade legalizing abortion, Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage, and a host of others like The National Federation of Independent Business et. al. v Sebelius, Secretary of Health and Human Services et. al. declaring the Affordable Care Act constitutional.

Trump has called for building a wall to keep out Mexicans and for deporting eleven million undocumented immigrants, most who came here to make a better life for themselves and their families. He would close our borders to Muslims, supports registering those here now and sending government informants into mosques. His recent vulgar attack against Clinton was considered obscene enough that many media outlets bleeped it out. He sounds like he is adopting fascism and the views of Mussolini. Ted Cruz, the current reincarnation of Senator Joseph McCarthy (R-WI) who conducted the witch-hunt for communists and homosexuals in government, said he will reverse laws on same-sex marriage; approves building the wall to keep out Mexicans and opposes any pathway to citizenship for the eleven million immigrants here now. He refuses to call Trump to task for any vulgarity or race baiting and opposes equal pay for equal work for women. He opposes any controls on the sale of guns including assault weapons. He regrets his vote for Chief Justice John Roberts because he voted that the Affordable Care Act was constitutional allowing millions of Americans to get healthcare. He supported shutting down the entire government because of a small allocation for Planned Parenthood which works to protect women's health.

These are the two men leading in all polls for the Republican nomination. None of the other men running, with the exception of Jeb Bush and only because he is in a personal feud with Trump, is saying anything against the policies or positions they support. As an American who cares about the rights of people and the future of our nation, I believe it is imperative the positions and irrational bluster of Trump and Cruz be defeated so soundly they are seen to be fully repudiated.

The only person running with the qualifications to be President; the person with the experience, knowledge and intelligence to lead our nation and the world; the person whose election would make real the goal of our constitution to form 'a more perfect union' is Hillary Rodham Clinton. When the dust settles and the nominees of both Parties are chosen; Democrats, Independents and even moderate Republicans will understand what is at stake in this election. They will support Hillary Rodham Clinton because she is best able to lead us into a better future.

Amen! Trump and Cruz have no final path to the White House.

Just when you thought America was looking better, along comes Trump. He is making a laughing stock of America.

And Iran is still currently working on its ICBM program arnt they? because they were never held to task for anything during so called negotiations. Which were no negotiations at all. The Democrats have made us a laughing stock to our enemies very well all on their own. The only people they can be tough with are the opposing political party. they see that as the only real threat in the world. Which is all part of their mental illness

Republicans’ 2016 math problem, explained in two charts


The 2016 electorate, demographically speaking, will be worse for Republicans than 2012. And unless Republicans can begin winning more of the nonwhite vote, the 2020 election will be worse for the party than the 2016 election.

America elected two prize winning undisputed empty suit blowhards TWICE.
Or have you forgotten about Bill Clinton and Barack Obama?

Ummmm..we already did, in 2008 and again in 2012... and don't even get me started on the blowhard that was in office before President "Fuck everybody that doesn't see things my way" got elected.

there it is. He's showing me who the traitors are in the Republican party. I've had enough of both parties. It would be nice if the Democrat base looked at their PARTY the same they do Republicans and kick out all the corrupted asses in it.... but they won't and their party knows it.
they've become what they call: sheep

 

[Yarddog]

They are still formulating their brain cells. Yes , they look like the best and brightest on the Left! haha

 

[FJO]

Hillary is the only logical choice!

Trump could win, although that doesn't seem likely. Trump is targeting people with a high school education or less and he is definitely reaching that group. The average Trump supporter has an educational level of high school or less. They make up 60% of the adult population, they don't follow politics as much as most voters, and they are far more interested in results rather than means of getting those results. Trump's egotism, bullying, and gross behavior is seen as a sign of strength. Trump is exactly what they are looking for in a candidate.

Less educated voters are less likely to vote. This can be a problem for Trump because he doesn't have the organization to get out the vote.

Lots of people with ONLY high school education have more wisdom, common sense and self-taught smarts than some college graduates who need help to spell C-A-T.

The 60% you speak of so condescendingly put the food on your table, makes the car you drive, the bed you sleep on, the clothes you wear - unless, of course, those jobs have been outsourced to China or Bengladesh.

The 60% you speak of are more interested in honesty than the usual politically correct nonsense the "educated" liberal Democratic crooks spew upon the world.

 

[paulitician]

They've elected a foreigner Muslim/Communist and a serial rapist pervert before. So i'm pretty sure anything goes at this point. Go Trump!

That number is likely skyrocket if your 2 parties leave us with those untenable choices. We'll be consuming more vodka than Russia in a brutal winter. And THEN -- we'll get even with BOTH of your dysfunctional parties..

So you are blaming uninformed lemmings with no self control on both political parties?
Funny.
I'll bet that 99 of 100 people in that video who actually can find their way to the polls, will vote for the DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE.

My anger for both parties really has nothing to do with IQs or navigating abilities of their bases. The party faithful --- the TRULY faithful --- are less than 50% of us.. The rest of us homeless are there because of the sordid antics of both parties.

The intentionally politically stupid will ALWAYS find their ways to the polls. I'm talking about one party which doesn't deem it necessary to have a candidate contest ---- and the other who let the press provoke in-fighting amongst their candidates at highly controlled 'debates'. Only reason we're staring at a Trump/Hillary choice is because the arrogant, vacuous, and dangerous egomaniac is playing off the FAILURES of the previously elected GOP candidates to TAKE A STAND -- and make shit happen..

So THEY will end up with the egomaniac that makes shit happen --- , but has no solid conviction to any party principle. And no political compass. The people have lost control of the political process -- because BOTH parties are dysfunctional.

Wrong, people like Obama, and have gotten a better opinion of America, despite the guns and violence, during the past 7 years. You ignorant right wingers have no idea of what is going on in the world.

Yeah like imaginary red lines. You liberals don't have a clue.
