The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

Enlightened people understand the futility of this, and refrain from participating in a pointless exercise, amiright?

Nah. If you want to vote, what should I care?

The banning muslim thing wasn't a question from a reporter. He volunteered it in a speech. The video is there for you to enjoy. It's not a question of being misrepsented. The words he used didn't leave a lot of room for interpretation. What you should be arguing perhaps is that he doesn't really mean all the things he says.

I was speaking about the closing of mosques. The quotes I've read over and over is that he says it should be considered. The articles I've read lead with "Trump to close Mosques".

So maybe there are more quotes out there I haven't seen in which he isn't saying it should be considered or looked at and actually said he would do it. But the articles I've read are missing that part.

It would be fun if someone commissioned a poll in Utah among Republicans. I would suspect Trump isn't as popular there as in other states, but I could be wrong. It would be funny if they did a poll there that showed him getting a low percentage. It would make news because it would really stand out as different than all the others. Maybe it could even goad Trump into making a disparaging remark about Mormons.

I don't even thinks he comes in third in Utah.

This is rich, Trump questioning whether another candidate's temperament is right for the presidency:

"I don't think he has the right temperament," Trump said of Cruz on "Fox News Sunday." "I don't think he's got the right judgment."

Pressed to elaborate, Trump said, "You look at the way he's dealt with the Senate, where he goes in there like a, you know, frankly like a little bit of a maniac. You're never going to get things done that way."

Meh. Trump has a point.

[Eddie]

Meh. Trump has a point.

Is that the 'ole "takes one to know one" defense?

Trump does have a point. He just lacks self awareness.

[All-American]

Meh. Trump has a point.

He's exactly right. Anyone as maniacal or more than Cruz should not be President.

In other words, so long, Donny.

I just dont get Trump. He is sitting there on TV, a week after saying we need to stop all immigration or even tourism visits of muslims and, sporting orange skin and a comb over that goes down to his eyebrows (this is not an exaggeration; look at the Brit hume interview) he actually calls someone else a maniac? who could vote for this clown?

About 40% of the electorate, if the polls are to be believed.

That's actually a little frightening.

That's actually a little frightening.

I thought Trump was just a sideshow for much of the year. Now I'm starting to think he's going to wreck the Republican Party for a generation. I still hold out hope that when the voting starts his campaign will implode a la Howard Dean.

Maybe a woman shouldn't be president...

What a couple of dumb-dumbs. Of course, Hillary can be forgiven for making such stoopid remarks, she doesn't know better. Carly, on the other hand, ran a fortune 500 tech company (into the ground). She should know better.
