All candidates have their issues. However I still strongly feel Trump is the worst of the bunch. Recent example- his whining about how the election process is "rigged". He had all the time to read about how it works, or have some of his loser group do it for him. But they failed at that, and now he's so suddenly surprised its "rigged"? People running for president should know the process completely- not just ignore stuff until they get the time to do so. If it was rigged in his favor, obviously he wouldnt care.


I'm amazed at how many aspects of the American legal system - including elections - he is completely ignorant about. He talks about the primaries as if the internal process of who a party eventually puts on the ballot in November is part of election law, when in reality they can pretty much do whatever they want. Including changing the rules and making them up as they go along. It wasn't so many election cycles ago when a small handful of party highest-ups would simply get together in the proverbial smoke-filled room and decide who they wanted to run for president.

Which tells me he is trying to game the system. He's trying to run as a major party candidate by pwning the party itself. A political hostile takeover, if you will. Not exactly the honest, transparent sort of person you want as your President, in my opinion.

An excellent reason to vote someone into the highest elected office in our nation...

Hey - has anyone done an analysis of the effect each candidate is likely to have on the lives of autistics?

You know, via health care policy changes, anti-discrimination laws (including the ADA, which could be challenged in part), SCOTUS appointments and the like?

In jail for what? Trump has something like over 200 businesses. He's built a fortune. I couldn't do what he's done and I know you couldn't. When did Trump say anything raciest, or homophobic? Black civil rights activists have endorsed him, Ben Carson endorsed him, Allen West has defended him. The only ones calling him raciest is the media and uneducated people who just blindly follow the media and don't research things themselves. How is Trump worse than Hilary Clinton, who compromised national security and who got soldiers killed. She cares nothing about America, especially our military. She is a sociopath and has no remorse for anything. By the way, she was against gay marriage not too long a go. She was also for the Iraq war, which Trump was against. She should be in prison for treason.

Then that leads us to Bernie Sander, who is not evil like Hilary, but his policies are ridiculous. Someone who wants to make America like a Scandinavia country where most of our income is taxed. If you think the economy is bad now, if Sanders gets his way, there won't be any business that isn't government controlled. In fact most business won't be around anymore. If you want to look at a prime example of a socialist country, look at Venezuela where you have to wait in line for things like toilet paper. I already mentioned Cruz in my original post, so there is no need to mention him again here.

All the garbage Trump has spewed about Mexicans (and Mexico, the country itself). At one point he claimed the Mexican government was sending over criminals on purpose. Several times he made jokes about how Jeb Bush's wife is Mexican.

On a side note: I agree illegal immigration is an issue, but the whole wall nonsense wont work. Many employers will just find ways to get the people in anyway.

Then there is his hate for Muslims. He had said he wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the country. That's pretty extreme and realistically wont happen.

Then in the non-racist department.. there is the whole "if she wasnt my daughter, I would date her" comment Trump said. There is NOTHING that can fix what he said. It's plain and simple.. sick. Incense isnt a joking matter, period.

As much as I like Bernie, Clinton wins on this subject. She has an excellent plan.

It's pretty darn detailed.

Well, that explain your position. Honestly, I can understand why someone wouldn't like Trump. I have friends that don't like him; however if you like Hilary and think she's better than Trump, you are a naive fool. I guess it's okay to put the security of the entire country at risk and let American soldiers die, just as long as you don't say bad words on television.

Trump has had countless people work for him of all colors. If you actually listen to him, he simply stated how criminals come from Mexico across the border. That does not equate to him being raciest to the Mexican people. It is no secret criminals come across the border and it is no secret that drugs come across the border. Furthermore, having a temporary ban on immigration at a time of war is constitutional and in this care a no-brainer. We are at war with Muslim terrorists. Where do Muslim terrorists come from, oh gee golly they come from Muslim countries. Look at what happened in Brussels, look at what's happening in Germany, whats happening in Sweden. I rather a president not be politically correct and actual protect us, than be afraid of upsetting people and have the terrorists walk all over us like what they are doing in Europe and starting to do in the US now. Sharia Law is not compatible with the United States Constitution, nor should it be adapted to.

In the 80's Trump hired several undocumented Polish workers indirectly though a 3rd party. Even though they worked 12-hour shifts, seven days a week, many of them weren't properly paid and instead threatened with deportation. Trump got his project completed while keeping a safe personal distance from the liability. The only thing he's successfully managed is his own personal success, people who buy from him, do business with him, or work under him are all on their own. I've seen enough charlatans in my lifetime to know that Trump is one of them.

Trump is just an arrogant slime-ball just like Cruz.

Jeb Bush's wife is from Mexico. Jeb met her there. Also Jeb identifies himself as "Hispanic", not "white".

Mexico is sending over their illegals by not stopping it.

They have a train, called "The Beast" that brings Central Americans & Mexicans through Mexico to the America border. Mexico could stop it, but they don't. America receives very poor , uneducated, desperate people.

He wanted a temporary ban until a proper background investigation can be done.

Since we have killed millions of them, bombed the heck out their countries, and continually support their enemy -- Israel -- there is a lot of hate towards Americans.

A recent poll showed that the majority of Americans support Trump's effort on this.

So much about Trump in this thread, while it's about both him and Cruz. Well, I'll chime in about that Canadian born, looks-like-a-police-sketch-of-any-serial-rapist, son of a fundie minister, Grandpa Munster stand in:
Cruz just threw his support behind that abhorrent Anti-LGBT law in North Carolina. Well, we'll see just how enlightened the GOP voters really are, if they throw their support to Cruz over this issue, or if they'll do the right thing and reject Teddy and that cracker law he loves so much.

Cruz is loosing support rapidly. I mean the man said he doesn't believe we have the right to masturbate.

Trump is the most qualified candidate in either party, he is the only candidate free of the special interests and the only candidate that marks a true departure in RELEVANT policy. Hillary will double down or continue the policies of the previous 3 administrations, Cruz doesn't look that different from George W Bush right now. Moonbat Sanders can talk of a socialist utopia all he wants but he has no way of paying for it nor will he actually stand up for American sovereignty as opposed to the globalist/internationalist viewpoint which has destroyed this country, we won't even have a country any more with the policies he supports in regards to immigration and internationalism. Bernie Sanders has voted with the Democratic majority like 94% of the time, more style than substance when it comes to the champagne socialist from lily white rural Vermont.

Trump wins on immigration, trade, and foreign policy. There is a marked difference between him and Cruz + Hillary who more or less share the same views when it comes to these subjects which means whatever is convenient towards getting elected. Democrats have veered off the deep end with immigration, they've abandoned the inner city poor for new third world poor.

Trump may not be homophobic, but he is a misogynist.



And more of the awful things he's said: http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/5501 ... uotes.html
#14 is particularly cringe-worthy.
