Thanks for your Service...🇺🇸
We cannot be the generation that loses our Republic.
Time to dig in. We need some leadership.
Americans give billions to people who hate us. Our Vets can't get an appointment.
If it takes a loudmouth like Trump to fix things...So be it.

What astonishes me is how well Trump is doing in the polls.
I think Mencken's quote is quite appropriate in The Donalds case.
Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public.
Perhaps America deserves Trump! He certainly fits the bill as a Cultural icon.
We are looking for a leader. Someone who will not lie and deceive us.
Somebody that loves America. Remember "Iran is a tiny Country" ?
That tiny Country just made our leaders look like fools.
We need a Leader...And, I don't give a damn what Party they come from.
Besides, Trump isn't a lawyer--everybody's tired of lawyers running things.
Trump will peter out. He's just the new flavor and something different. The enthusiasm will fade.

What's his service history?
Hiding under several deferments I suspect. Plus he was too important to ever serve in the military! Silly question!

Another thing about Trump is that in the past he was liberal on the issues
I don’t know what he believes now but he wasn’t a conservative at all.
On universal health care he said, “we got to take care of our people”
On abortion he was for it
On Iraq he was harder on Bush than the Democrats like Hillary
So it’s strange that Cruz, the tea party and the GOP base like him.
I know its for immigration but
Something weird is going on here, I don’t precisely know what but something is in the mix

At this point Trump is just seeing how dumb people are. He says and does everything that makes him a terrible leader and yet he has supporters. Granted it is only 18% of Republicans who are splitting their votes 15 or 16 ways and he is dead last in national polling against anything the DNC has. Still at this point he has to be laughing his butt off, know he could walk out on stage and say dogs should be banned from the US because they take jobs humans could be doing and his supporters would declare what a great leader he is telling it like it is. Maybe he really is working for the Democrats because nobody can be this stupid.

Are they supporting him because they believe in him or because they are using him as a protest against our current corrupt political system?
I would say "DUMB" would be those who continue in the doing the same experiment over and over again expecting things to change for the better?

That's it, in a nutshell. People are tired of voting to be fed more of the same crap in a slightly different flavor.

How classy of a future president.
I'm sure all the POWs and troops captured in Afghanistan & Iraq or Nam & WWII can't wait to vote for this guy.

There are numerous articles around to this effect.
I'm not sure what to think.

I agree, anyone with a thimble full of sense wouldnt vote for this guy , if they do they are voting for him for the same reason that people voted for Obama,(hope and change and platitudes and no real policies) and makes them hypocrites.......
No way in hell this idiot gets my vote.........we dont need another narcissistic megalomaniac whose more concerned about money and his image then the country.......
Again.......what are his policies people? Ive asked this over and over and NO ONE ever answers me........
because he has none........
