Also, people say he's cool for "speaking his mind".

He legit said he wants to kill ISIS and "take their oil".

I guarantee you 100% he'll probably lie and try to invade Syria, even after he "cuts the head off of ISIS".




Oh, and for the Conservatives saying I am only bashing him to suck up to another candidate, I actually hate the liberals and conservatives in this race. They all suck. They are not what a leader should be if they want to run for the most powerful country in the world.

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

Hes a god

Amusingly, he is still better than Cruz or Carson.

For opinion about Trump - I share same opinion Ayn Rand had about Ronald Reagan. - "I don't think of him. And more I see, less I (could) think."

So either he's lying...or he's guilty of massive tax evasion, because you can't just hide $7.1BN is assets from your government.

Probably tax aversion which is legal and all large companies do it. If taxes weren't so high then perhaps companies and the wealthy wouldn't need to be hiding their money offshore.

Wait, applicable American tax rate is high?

And he really shouldn't.

Came in here to write almost exactly this!

Well, regardless of how you may feel, Trump will never win in a general election and the reality it, he probably won't even win the Republican nomination.

He's too vitriolic and he's hurt his chances with Hispanics. You need about 44% of the Latino vote to win the general. Mitt Romney got about 20%.

If you think otherwise, you're in the "conservative bubble" which blocks out reality. Think back to 2012. You had Obama, who had already passed Obamacare, he was a Muslim, he was born in Kenya, he was socialist, he was coming for your guns, he was a communist, and he was (and is) absolutely despised by conservatives, yet he won re-election against Mitt Romney, who is far more Presidential and moderate than any of the clowns leading now (Trump, Cruz, Carson).

I didn't know the Super PACs were running for president...

No, they're just buying one lol.

Which is exactly the point that I was making.  The top 1% are spending millions of dollars on ads against Trump because Trump is not looking in the best interest in them, but rather the other 99% of the people.  So essentially they are trying to buy a candidate (Rubio) and the majority of the Republicans see this.  Meanwhile you have Trump who has solely taken small donations, spending the least amount of money, and having the best results.

I think it's more of a product them having invested HEAVILY in other campaigns and being unwilling to start investing in another campaign.

As far being self-funded is concerned, Trump's campaign has been anything but: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/donald-trump-fec-fundraising-214838

I think (I haven't checked EVERY candidate.) that only Sanders can make the "not beholden" to big donors campaign.

If you are not super wealthy, the effective tax rate is high (45-50%).

He is kind of dumb in a smart sort of way. At the same time quite smart in dumb sort of way. Personally i think he doesn't believe in most of the stuff he is saying and catering to the ever growing segment in the Republican party, if not the whole United States. For good or bad people like him because he seems unlike most other politicians. Interesting video below about how he tackles a question in much different even if the answer is sometimes or most of the times fluff.
