Republican vs Democrat, they both suck.YOu wouldn't vote against Hillary?
Kasich has had his moments, but recently he's been getting soft on Immigration, and we can't afford that.
I will vote as I have always done. I will consider the value of the Republican candidate. If I find him fatally lacking, I will vote for the best person out there. I vote in favor of candidates. I'm not so stupid as to reduce myself to merely voting against someone.
If you're so obsessed with voting against Clinton, then you should do your damnedest to make sure Trump never gets nominated.
Yes, it is interesting the way that America bought the line the media sold them.
The media didn't have to sell anything. Fact is, half of marriages have someone who commits adultery in them. Most of us don't think people deserve to have their careers ruined because their marriage hits a rough spot.
And, yes, when your Party of "Family Values" is filled with guys who get divorces, cheat on their spouses, break up marriages, and hire prostitutes, it's kind of hard to take you all seriously.
My complaint is that if we give the illegals citizenship, it will be like giving the Libs a Texas, and will usher in a long period of ONe Party Rule as I said.
I don't see how you consider that a "personal problem" instead of a real problem for the nation,
though I note that your naked bigotry against Southern Whites takes off the table any pretense of moral superiority from you, so don't bother with any answer like that.
Frankly, I'm all for a period of one-party rule. The GOP just fucks things up when they get ahold of them, anyway.
And just because the South is full of dumb-ass crackers who are soooooo fucking stupid they vote against their own economic interest, I don't really mind taking texas away from them.
ok so I am going to have to repost the links on this thread because apparently you don't know SHIT!!!!!!!Trump's style is not presidential, I grant you that it is a minus.
But, on the issues, he is what America needs, if there is any chance of things improving any time soon.
Trump is not anything on any issues. He's hidden that in a veil of virtual hand jobs.
As you said, it depends. I'm not sure more conservatives showed up for Romney. More people did.Trump would need a significant number of independents plus all of the GOP base which would rather vomit than vote for him in some cases. The hard right isn't going to show up for him. Christians are not going to show up for him. And it's entirely likely that the establishment Republicans are going to sit this one out.
Advantage Hillary.
It depends.
Conservatives said that conservatives would stay home if they nominated Romney, and more conservatives voted for Romney than any other Presidential candidate in history. So I'm not sure if conservatives would stay home for Trump. In fact, given the passion conservatives here show for him, they may be more likely to go to the polls with Trump on the ballot.
Some of that is spot on. I think something you're overlooking is that "coolness" isn't what it once was. When I was a kid about 300 years ago, the whole "If your neighbor is coming into your yard, you build a fence" notion was not just good sense, it was done regularly. Today's youth are more sophisticated than this. They want to know how you'll pay for it, why the wall is only on one border, and if the spotted scarecrow will be effected.The biggest threat Trump poses to Clinton is him peeling off blue collar Democrats, who - along with minorities - are Clinton's base. He may also bring out new voters, voters who generally don't vote. The other group to watch are young people. Young people would probably still vote for the Democrats, but Clinton doesn't seem to inspire young people in the way Obama did. Clinton isn't cool. Trump is "cooler" than Hillary. Clinton probably doesn't pull the same amount of minorities as Obama did. Clinton also has to be wary of the Left pulling her to far away from the center. The Democrat Party is shifting left, which threatens their viability. The final thing that could benefit Trump would be if terrorist activity increases.
Spot on.OTOH, moderates decide elections. What appeals to the Republican base probably turns moderates off. Trump does relatively poorly amongst educated, higher-income Republicans, let alone moderates of the same demographics. Trump needs to win A LOT of white votes. Assuming minorities vote the same as they have the past few elections, Trump would have to win the same percentage of whites as Reagan did in 1984, which seems unlikely. Also unlikely is that he would do appreciably better with minorities than either McCain or Romney. The Democrats were also way, way ahead of Republicans in terms of technology in 2012. Have the Republicans closed that gap? Would it under Trump, a 69 year-old man whose primary advantage is amongst older, rural and less-educated voters? Another question is funding. Trump isn't spending any of his own money. Where will it come from? He probably would do better amongst small donors, but my guess is that big donors will sit this out. Of course, Trump doesn't come across as Presidential, and that matters also.
Don't discount Rubio. I think he will be the nominee, and I think Hillary would beat him, but I think it would be a lot closer than many Democrats think. People have dismissed him throughout his career, and all he has done is win. He's a better campaigner than Clinton, he'll do well amongst Hispanics, he appeals to moderates, he's young and attractive, and Americans look forward, not back. Clinton represents the past, Rubio the future.
You see, this is where you got it wrong. Moderates don't decide elections.
It comes as no surprise that for the most part GOP leadership excludes the interests of African-Americans, gay Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Muslim Americans as being entitled to protection.Well, you better get used to it. Because if Trump gets the nomination, the White House is going to stay Democrat for another four years.
YOu know, I like Trump on the issues,
BUT, it will be a nice bonus to know that if he wins, that it will kill you guys.
What are you talking about? Oh I see, you're one of those fake conservative types who think that being conservative is about being an ignorant, low class slob. Get out and go sign on with the Democrats. That's where you belong. You fifth column types are the reason the fine tradition of the GOP has been shredded to tatters.
The only tradition of the GOP I care about is protecting and advancing the interests of American citizens.
The Grand Old Party leadership has been dropping the ball on that with regard to Trade and Immigration Policy for far too long.
And how well has your dem concern for the interests of Blacks worked out for them? Are the democratic controlled cities filled with harmony and light where the black population strolls about stately gardens while enjoying the sound of classic music in the air and discussing art and literature?
And women are generally not very forgiving of men who cheat, nor men who cheat with much, much younger women.
And yet in this case, the vast majority just accepted it...very odd.
But yes, I agree it should not be a reason to have your career ruined.
Now the sexual harassment of Paul Jones? That's another story.
Actually, they do.
Republicans win elections when they are within 10% of Democrats amongst moderates. They lose when they aren't.
This has been the case in the nine past elections.
I will admit that I certainly thought The Donald would have been gone by now but there seems to be zero inclination on the part of GOP challengers to The Donald to take him on. It's allowed him to basically bully the field into silence.
The lack of courage on the part of Rubio, Christie, Bush, and Kasich is all at once bewildering and saddening. Much more for Rubio than anyone else. He's set up his "white house or bust" scenario by saying he is resigning from the Senate. Christie and Kasich have day jobs to go back to. Bush is the most bewildering of all in how little he seems to really want the job which was the one question mark besides his bid to start with.
Rubio's cache on the lecture circuit is far from established as a fairly incompetent Senator, a pretty lousy Republican, and someone who has been exposed as being as petulant as his age would indicate. Someone in the Rubio camp, one would think, would mention to the Senator that this is the final sets of his professional life and it's time to start spiking the ball when he can.
Trump is basically lying his way through the campaign season and nobody is checking him or calling him out. Democrats will not be as accomdating. The GOP is setting itself up for a shameful defeat and it's candidates seem content to let it happen.
Let me get this straight? The Democratic Party complains that taxes are to high on the middle class but will vote enthusiastically against a canidate that will zero out the income tax for anyone making below 50000. When did you guys stop supporting the middle class?

Do they do that in GOP controlled cities? Examples please....
Thank you for not denying that One Party Rules is what you want or what you expect, with a Path to Citizenship.
Want to take a swing at explaining how this will be better for the US, when Dems have everything their way?
A lot of cherry picking. You sound like the scientist who chops all the legs off a frog, yells jump and concludes legless frogs are deaf.
Is Trump under an FBI investigation for security violations and other assorted felonies, and facing a possibility of doing time in a federal prison???I will admit that I certainly thought The Donald would have been gone by now but there seems to be zero inclination on the part of GOP challengers to The Donald to take him on.

That's true, but still . . . Donald Trump of all people???
He is the one that had the brilliant idea of actually addressing the interests of the American People.
Debatable.
Immigration usually polls at 6% in off years (this is actually an off year).
Terrorism rises and falls with the actions of the terrorists.
In all cases, he basically tells you what you want to hear and has zero plans to do anything about it logistically, logically and in fact legally. No, we can't round 11 Million People up; no, we can't ban a religion.
IMO, he gets 1, 4 and 5 by a wide margin with his positions on Trade and Immigration.
Your assumption that he is lying about his intentions is just that, an assumption.

You mean we'll finally get single payer health care, we'll finally get income equality, we'll finally get more rights for working folks, we'll finally get racial equality. We'll finally get sensible gun control laws.
yeah, just not seeing a downside here.
The added joy of watching the Evangelicals and Gun Nuts and Homophobes get ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED will be icing on the cake.
You're living in a world of wishful thinking.Obviously the Christian Coalition won't care much for a thrice divorced man who pretty much mocked their religion.
Independents have little to like about what they know about his plans
Establishment Republicans are even less likely to show up.
The real pain for the last group is that none of their candidates are willing to stand up to this guy who is just lying his way through the election thus far. There were no thousands of celebrating muslims in Jersey, there is no way Mexico would pay for a wall that will never be built anyway, there is no fiscal planning to round up 11,000,000 people much less detain them, etc...
They have to be wondering just how empty a suit Rubio is at this point since this is an all-or-nothing bid on his part and he is not exactly set for life; especially given his perpensity to mismanage other people's money.
Feel free to eleaborate with some details. Oh yeah, I forgot; Trump and his supporters don't get into details...ever
Details? You libs lose the right to whine about details when you voted for Obama.
So I guess you think Obama was a failure judging from that statement? Am I right?
....
No, I think he ran of vague generalities like "Hope and Change".

I didn't say he was lying about his intentions.
I did say that his intentions (genuine or otherwise) have zero chance of coming to fruition. Even if he could get passed the logistical impossibility of detaining 11,000,000 people, having their cases tried, and then developing the apparatus to physically transport them back to where they came from (you just cant send them to Mexico)...we couldn't afford to do that. And that is simply the case.
It would be easy as pie for every candidate to speak to what their voters want to hear but serious and responsible politicians have at least a blueprint for implementation that is somewhat workable.

Of course, you know I could QUOTE Hillary on the mouth piece of trash part....For sure, Trump has been a plus to date for America---because he has absolutely routed the Political Correctness Nazis in New York and New England.
No, Trump has mad an ass of himself. That's about it. There is a difference between rebuking political correctness and being a gutter mouthed piece of trash.
