What do you think Hillary will actually accomplish that Trump would not do?
Trump bankrupted numerous companies. How do you think he'd do with access to unlimited money?I see here and elsewhere people who otherwise identify and conservative or Republican or both. Yet if you asked them even 9 months ago, would you support a life long Democrat who favors single payer healthcare, favors use of eminent domain for private gain, favors abortion, and has never held office they would answer a resounding NO.
And yet here they are supporting Trump, who is all those things and more. A man with professed intentions to commit war crimes, an idiot on foreign policy, a serial adulterer, a man who plays footsie with racists.
How to explain this?
Conservatives don't want brown people in this country and Trump was the first one to make a big deal out of deporting the brown people so all is forgivenHow many thousands lost their pensions and savings because of Trump bankruptcies? Don't worry. We'll find out in the General Election.
Trump doesn't have the Federal reserve to let him avoid bankruptcy like the US government does. Where would all the entitlement programs be without the Feds being able to go into perpetual debt? They'd be bankrupt, just like Trumps companies. Only difference- Trump gave them jobs to start with.
Obama--Hope and Change
Trump-Make America Great Again
Two sides of the same coin.
Only one is an establishment whore.
That might be the most unintentionally hilarious statement ever made in this message board.
Explain yourself.
You don't think a man who inherited $100 million dollars and has spent his whole life hobnobbing with the elites in Palm Beach and Manhattan - who has, by his own admission, used his money to influence politics - is an "establishment whore"?
Can he be bought? It's one thing to buy influence,it's another to be bought.
For immigration: Which laws should we be enforcing that we're ? Be specific, cite the legal codes.
For terrorism: Who should we kill? Again, be specific - and tell me how killing those people will "eliminate" terrorism.

I just addressed that.
For terrorism: Who should we kill? Again, be specific - and tell me how killing those people will "eliminate" terrorism.
First, Al-Qaeda, ISIS, the Taliban and all other affiliated elements whose sole purpose is to threaten America and the western world. Second, terrorism can't be completely eliminated, but the threat it poses can.

typical. Trump wants illegals out- regardless of color. Why do you lie?

Of course, cause we've all heard Trump talking about Swedish "murderers and rapists", right?
The appeal of populism is that it gives "easy" answers to the problems that anger the ignorant masses.
Ignorant huh? I'm offended.
I voted for the man and I'm FAR from ignorant. Most of the so called "solutions" taken by our legislators have been too complex. Trying to apply complex solutions to simple problems. That is bound to fail.
And so we're ignorant because we want a more direct approach to policy? This is quite infuriating to be looked down on as ignorant for supporting someone like Trump.
Not all of us are blind fools or mindless automatons. Yes, we're angry, for far more complicated reasons. Perhaps that's why so many of us support him, because people take such elitist attitudes towards who we support. It may not even matter why we support the man, there will always be people looking down their noses at us calling us ignorant.
I didn't say that everyone who voted for Trump was ignorant, I said that populism appeals to the ignorant.
As for what you said - there's no such thing as a "simple" problem, and that's the whole point. Trump isn't offering a "direct" approach to policy, he's literally offering an ignorant approach to policy - an approach to policy that just doesn't understand how the world works.
There is no simple solution to immigration, it's a complicated problem. There is no simple solution to terrorism, it's a complicated problem. There is no simple solution to "bringing jobs back to America", it's a complicated problem. There's no simple solution to trade policy, it's a complicated problem.
And so on.
Immigration is a political football. They are welcome by both parties because they drive down the cost of labor.
The fact is, Obama has done more to stop illegal immigration than any other president. Trump claims he will do more but it's all BS.
There is a slight flaw in your premise when you ask, "Why do people support Trump?" People don't support Trump. Republicans support Trump.
Trump is a criminal and Republican voters love criminals.
Yes, I understand that he's the front runner even though he's being investigated by the FBI and may be indicted in the near future. Those Republicans love criminals.
Trump University and the ensuing fraud will nail him and I doubt that too many Republicans will run interference for him.
That's is a civil case, there's no criminal case against Trump you idiot
WRONG AGAIN! It was criminal fraud you pathetic moron.
Trump University: How Bad Are the Charges Against Trump ...
Defrauding people and using the US mail and FCC regulated stations to do it is a criminal act.
Fraud - Criminal Law - FindLaw
Trump committed state and federal crimes. Fraud is a crime.
Standard of living has been declining in many areas for some time. Do you deny this?Well I think you are underestimating the portion that want it fixed compared to those that want it to remain the same, and you are seeing the effect of ignoring them. When people are ignored they become desperate and don't care, they want change and will deviate from the norm to try and achieve it.
What is the "it" that you (and this portion of the population you claim to speak for) want "fixed"?
Be specific.
You'll have to be more specific than that. What do you mean by "standard of living"? In what "areas" is it declining?
The part that's declining is the part that appears on your paycheck, doofus.
Speak for yourself, clown. My paychecks have gone up the last few years - maybe you should be working harder?
In my opinion, people support Trump because they are sick and tired of that cesspool that is the establishment political system.
Both left and right.
Same reason they support Bern.
How can you deny it? Amnesty has been the order of the day since Reagan.

I disagree. Socialist Bernie Sanders support comes from Millennials. He has promised to wipe out their school loan obligation and provide for FREE COLLEGE and no responsibility.
While the financial industry and other businesses are bailed out to the tune of billions. The middle class is still waiting for the benefit of saving those vultures.Standard of living has been declining in many areas for some time.

Average income for workers has dropped the past seven years by $3,000.00. The reason is simple, the jobs replacing those lost in the recession, are lower-paying jobs.
How can you deny it? Amnesty has been the order of the day since Reagan.
President Reagan was lied to by Democrats who promised to immigration reform and tightening the Southern border. Never trust a Progressive.

What's complicated about illegal immigration? Simply enforce the law. That's the only thing you need to know.
Which laws?
Be specific, and cite the parts of federal criminal code that you're referring to.
Let's begin with this one, which states plainly the process by which aliens are granted citizenship to the US.
8 U.S. Code § 1181 - Admission of immigrants into the United States
This one should have kept the illegal immigrant who killed Kate Steinle from entering the US. But nope. Sanctuary cities.
8 U.S. Code § 1182 - Inadmissible aliens
And this one
8 U.S. Code § 1227 - Deportable aliens
Or this one
8 U.S. Code § 1231 - Detention and removal of aliens ordered removed
Or this one
8 U.S. Code § 1302 - Registration of aliens
And this one
8 U.S. Code § 1321 - Prevention of unauthorized landing of aliens
And this one
8 U.S. Code § 1325 - Improper entry by alien
Or this one
8 U.S. Code § 1326 - Reentry of removed aliens
Ok, good. Now we've got some laws to work with. Now, all you have to do is show which ones aren't being enforced.
Let's take Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez (the suspected murderer of Kate Steinle) as an example.
Which of those laws do you believe were not enforced?
