The 2016 Presidential Election Trainwreck

I saw where he threatened to have arrested anyone who was out on the streets during the blizzard.

Yeah, that was pretty awesome. I understand what he was getting at. There is no room and the sanitation crews needed to be able to work unimpeded. But his tough guy authoritarian schtick when it suits him is tiresome.

also, the uber fiasco has been bad. and his whole bikes thing has been obnoxious.

Also a severe case of foot in mouth disease with anything related to the police, the snow removal controversies, and the spike in shootings. People are realizing things don't run well just because the guy at the top claims to care. Bloomberg and Giuliani were a-holes but we don't need a buddy as a chief executive.

Interesting tweet. Really hope the polls hold the same flaw for the R race.

Which is supposed to be more accurate? The random dialing calls still screen respondents.

I think if Cruz wins Iowa, it severely weakens Trump going into NH. That may be our last good chance at a sane nominee.

I hope you are right, but I fear you are wrong. The only person with enough traction to maybe (not likely) catch trump at this point is Cruz. What an awful election cycle.

There are two other candidates (Kasich and Rubio) running essentially even with Cruz in NH. A win by someone other than Trump or Cruz in NH is unlikely, but not out of the question.

China's economy is slowing, oil prices way down, Fed raised rates that is what I am mainly hearing about why my 401K is going down. I wonder if there isn't some thought out there as to with the front runners winning, what the crap would our economy look like.

As far as Trump goes his style might be great for a real estate tycoon, but not so sure if it works for the leader of the World's largest economy. Tarriff's, really?

Also I wonder how he feels about putting all his assets in a blind trust?

Falwell Jr. endorses Trump right before Iowa, simultaneously lowering my respect for both of them.

One of the more entertaining/horrible things is his spokesperson Katrina Pierson. She's makes Sarah Palin look wise and articulate. A few things. Her appearance on TV with a bullet necklace.



Then her twitter feed where she describes both Mitt Romney and President Obama as half-breeds and was very vocal about supporting Ted Cruz up until about six months ago.

RedState recently posted an old email she sent. Pretty funny.

Yea, I have often wondered how she got that job. I will admit I have also wondered how anyone can take Eric Erickson seriously. Those two deserve to e-mail each other back and forth into eternity.

Falwell Jr. in a crass attempt to garner political favors/power, and Trump trying to win over the evangelical vote he likely despises.

So one of the more prominent Pastors calling Mormonism a cult during Romney's run is a now a visible Trump supporter. lol. Being a straight-laced Mormon is bad, but the Pastor is cool supporting a philandering strip-club owner. I hate everything about Election 2016.

Well a lot of them put their faith ahead of even their country or family. Sad and probably a reflection on me I guess, but I wouldn't trust a devout evangelical very much. I think they could justify a lot of situations I wouldn't feel good about as God told them to do it.

Didn't someone tell us that Trump's handlers/staff will help hold back the crazy if he gets elected? So much for that theory.

One of the things Donald Trump is always touting is his ability to find quality people and put them in the right spots. It’s basically the entire answer he has to the objection that he lacks any sort of experience at all. Meanwhile his campaign is staffed largely by flaming trainwrecks, and none is more flammable than his national spokesperson Katrina Pierson.
