He lies constantly and has no principals whatsoever other than doing whatever it takes to feed his narcissistic ego. Being "blunt" doesn't mean much when all his policy positions are stupid and not well thought out to begin with. Is Mexico gonna pay for that wall for example? Nope. Think logically for even ten seconds here and ask yourself if that makes sense. It's bullshit, all part of his "marketing" to oversell everything he does (I'm big, I'm the best, I'm yyyhhhuge, blah, blah, blah).
If anything any other candidate would've been sunk months ago saying half the stuff Trump does, insulting a Gold Star family, insulting John McCain for being a prisoner of war, lying about Obama's birth certificate and now back pedalling off that position, etc. etc. etc., if anything the media has been soft on him because of "entertainment" value. Any other candidate would've had their political career over a long time ago if they tried pulling half this crap. The leaked video is just something even he is finally having a hard time spinning out of.

I think Trump can negotiate some kind of deal there. Mexico can have a nice northern wall to match their southern wall
Since that is the only policy you brought up its all I can respond too.
Seems dems can only spout off about stuff not related to running the country. Let me lnow when you have problems with his policies, not his character. Because I mean really if we are going off character, Hillary and Trump are in a tie running to the bottom, but at least one has done it on his own dime and not as a politician.

They are not "equal" in character in my eyes, Clinton has given 30+ years of her life to public service, served as a state senator, served as a two term first lady under what I think most Americans would consider a prosperous presidency, marched in the civil rights movement, etc. etc. In reality I think she is one of the most experienced people to ever run for the office. Trump is maybe the most morally bankrupt person to ever run for the presidency.
It's hard to debate Trump's "policy" positions because most of it is bullshit which he will flip flop on. Case in point, he whines about China this, China that, trade deficet this and that (something he's been parroting since the 1980s by the way, only then he was blaming Japan).
Of course America has a trade deficet with other countries. They consume more goods than anyone else in the world because they are the largest consumer market. The average Chinese household doesn't have 2-3 cars, 3-4 TVs, washer/dryer, and a mountain full of other shit. Most average Chinese people are working just to have food on the table. Of course we are going to have a trade deficet with them, they work themselves to death for pennies on the dollar so we can buy a bunch of cheap crap to feel happy about ourselves for 10 minutes. This is the part Trump won't tell you because it doesn't sound so good.
Personally too I think the "she's a politican" line is so incredibly stupid. What exactly do you think the person nominated is going to be doing? They are going into the world of POLITICS. Hate to break it to people, but that's the reality of it. It's like saying you don't like your soccer team so you're going to have basketball players play instead ... well yeah, lets see how that goes when they have to play soccer.
I understand there is frustration against the "system", but Trump is the (very) wrong answer to the right question.
