i am legitimately scared about trump becoming president

I'm hesitant to vote for anyone that has not held office since there is no record of actions taken by them in that capacity.
Having said that, if it comes down to Hillary or Sanders vs. Trump I'll have to go with Trump. I don't really know what we'll get with Trump (campaign promises don't count) but I know it'll be a $hit sandwich with either one of those other two .

Gosh, I wonder why all the Republicans, who strongly asserted that Obama lacked experience, are silent about Trump. For the record, I thought they had a point with that criticism.

GOP hypocrisy in action. anyways, nobody has the power to take away my dreams of what good things will happen should the freak occurrence of sanders winning in November should come to pass- nor disabuse me of the accurate estimation of the bad things that will happen [loss of affordable health care, punitive tax increases for the working class et al] when a GOP fanatic takes office.

If Hillary is the nominee, it could look like 1980 all over again. Trump is reuniting the Reagan coalition, the GOP has a 10 point lead in the enthusiasm gap and I don't think that's getting better with Hillary as the nominee. Most Democratic voters aren't super progressive women's lit majors, minorities and the poor/working class tend to be quite culturally conservative and these people are the primary victims of this unending globalization which has stolen our jobs, brought danger to our neighborhoods, and is hollowing out any idea of a safety net in these countries. Rich conservatives and liberals don't care, they live in their gated communities and far of college towns far away from reality on street that we have to deal with each every day. Cheap labor, cheap servants, loyal voters. What's not to love for the oligarchy?

You know why education has this reputation as being so bad in Arizona? The unfathomable amount of ESL kids, what is messed up is that some of these kids are even born here and still can't speak proper English. It's bleeding us dry, Mexico and every other country needs to foot the bill for their illegal citizens. There should be a tariff put on every country that sends us illegals that pays for a lifetime of the services they will receive. Also tax remittance payments, we have to put a stop to all this nonsense. As the world's supposedly lone superpower, we shouldn't be getting bent over by these third world countries. This is suicide.

Trump has plenty of experience in the business world, he is Billionaire a few times over. Obama was community organizer that become a State Senator who became a US Senator so basically he never had any executive experience with making decisions pretty much ever. We don't need anymore lawyers-turned-politicians, these people are why there needs to be term limits.

Off to the caucus, god help us all

I am legitimately scared about Trump becoming President!

He's more like Vince McMahon than like Eleanor Roosevelt!

Trump will besmirch the dignity of the Office.

Pretty sure any dignity the office had left ended up on some blue dress back in the 90s

Don's a proper Cockney Geezer!

What could go wrong?

E'll 'andle it, you numpty!

reminds me a bit of darth vader after a few pints of Guinness.

The quality of that experience factors in, too.
Hillary and Bernie are both democrats with track records in office to prove it, something republicans want no part of. Trump would be nothing more than the lesser evil if he makes it that far which I still have my doubts about.

how many here think both parties will end up with brokered conventions?

You don't want to know what 'append to the last guy who called me daft, the muppet!

If you know what's good for you, you'll vote for Don. Awight!?

I don't think we'll have to worry about Trump bowing to any Saudi kings like shitforbrains did in '09.
Talk about besmirching the dignity of the office.

I think the Democrats might since the DNC carries a lot more influence on who win the nomination than the RNC with it's party, Trump if he wins tonight appears to be running away with it. I don't see Cruz or Rubio being able to mount a real challenge to Trump, Cruz is even less electable and Rubio is a dolt who should of been one of those pretty talking heads on Fox News instead of a politician. No one else is going to rise from the pack, Jeb is done and Kasich never had a chance. I think they want to keep the race as big as possible to split up the delegates as much as possible so maybe there could be a brokered convention.

for sure, this is going to be the wildest election season I can remember

I disagree. One has to start somewhere and the ones that have held office before don't impress me. I think a total outsider from the political arena is exactly what this country needs. We need someone who is affected by the present economy and the closest to that right now is Trump - he knows about hiring, building, budgets, business with other countries. Trump has something to lose if the economy takes a nosedive - Hillary isn't going to lose anything no matter how bad the economy gets and the same goes for Cruz and Rubio and the others who are Senators. Besides that neurosurgeon (I'm having a brain fart on his name right now) Trump is the only other "outsider" and that's why people like him. He happens to have a lot of money, true, but he's not a politician. People are tired of politicians. Even Republicans don't want another Bush for president.
