He is simply a genius ...

It's been almost too good for him ...

Presidents don't get "Elected" they get "Selected".

According to recent polls Trump now has a commanding lead in every single state in the USA, including Iowa. I don't believe anything can stop him. This is a movement folks. People are sick and tired of rich politicians being bought by lobbyists. Everyone who attacks Trump ends up with a red "X" next to their name. Look at Jeb Bush, Lindsey graham and now sinking Ted Cruz. Cruz is just not electable, he's way to niche to take on Hillary Clinton. Trump is the unifier that can win independent voters!

I think most signs points toward a brokered convention and in that case, he might loose the nomination against establishment republicans. They know how punished they have been in the last two presidential elections because they haven´t been able to reach out to latinos and african-americans, and trump is like the worst candidate they could ever conjure in that regard. In the general election, he would not even reach 45% of the votes, so that´s good atleast.





Can anything be worse than obama? I don't think so.

In what way has it been bad for you under Obama?

On the republican side you mean? He doesn't stand a chance against Bernie

 

Stock market is going down fast, the democrats have been at the helm 8 years and achieved nothing.An extra 10 trill on the national debt.

Economy is always #1 issue, no matter what the far left pro gay marriage folks say.Republicans in a landslide.

US economy relatively is doing well compared to any other developed country. The stock market has seen large gains overall the last 4-5 years, it's down at the moment, but that happens. Dow Jones Index is at its highest numbers ever the last 4-5 years. National debt has risen regardless of who's in office (Democrat or Republican). 

Trump doesn't win if Latinos and women come out in large numbers to vote. It's not 1955 or even 1985 anymore. 

For example if he loses Florida, which a state with a huge Hispanic population, his chances of the White House become very slim, the electoral votes lost there would be devastating to a Republican bid. 

I think he knows too that a lot of the stuff he says is bullshit, he's saying it because he knows how to manipulate the Republican masses, but he's winning the Republican tickets at the expense of his chance in the main race. Hispanics are going to remember the things he said for a long time, while it won him short term attention, there will be long term blow back from that in a general election. 

That said, I don't think it's that amazing that he's leading. The rest of the Republican field is weak. Cruz is a nut job with no charisma. Bush is a Bush but soft spoken and weak-ish. Rubio is uh ... one of the "They Took ER JERBS" people that Republicans don't like. Ben Carson uh .... yeah.

He will certainly win the republican nomination, but he won't be president. Hillary is certainly a better canidate, and unlike trump, has experience in politics...

*Certainly* ?   Define what makes her a better candidate.  Zero private sector experience. She was given her head start in politics because of who she was sleeping with.  She's not proven to be particularly mentally gifted (Failed her bar exam at first pass) .  Serious questions on her judgement (Libya among other things), serious questions on her character (Outright lies "I was under Sniper Fire"), serious questions on her consistency (Anti Gay marriage, Pro Gay marriage). 

"Experience in politics" means exactly what?   The foundation of this country were people who worked within the private sector and weren't career politicians, they had to establish themselves in their own right and then they went into politics for the good of the country.  They had to live within the very same environment that they claimed to represent.  

He's polling ahead of Hillary currently and that's without any form of 1 on 1 debate.

Republican party is going to be dead on arrival this election. When people have a choice of Trump VS Hillary/Bernie they're going to vote Democrat and polls have shown that. Trump has a lot of press and media coverage on top of already being famous, yet the people still picked Bernie over him. lol

I wouldn't be so sure.

Trump seems to have massive appeal to the rather large "they took our jobs/I'm not racist, but..." demographic. The sort of people who say his political incorrectness is "refreshing" because he voices publically the beliefs they keep to themselves for fear of being criticised 

 

I fear for the world of he wins. 

Why?  

He was clearly against the entire Iraq occupation.  He publicly has stated he would let Russia handle ISIS.   Conversely,  both Bush's led us into long wars with Iraq and the Middle East.  Obama has bombed more countries than Bush did.  He claimed to be anti-miltiary intervention, but he has clearly proven otherwise.

Trump is mostly an isolationist who wants to make America and only America better.

lol at Trump living in the same environment he represents. Don't think he's ever lived a day in his life like an average American does.

He's been all over the map. First he says US will stay out of it, then it's bomb ISIS, then it's let Russia deal with it, then its Russia is getting too powerful, blah, blah, blah.
