  • Trump is a "smart" businessman just as mobsters are "savvy" entrepreneurs. He's just a market shark no more no less. Yes, you can make a lot of money in this country skating the ethics line, doesn't make you the kind of smart people want to run the U.S.A

  • Too bad intelligence doesn't directly relate to income.

    Well, it probably does correlate some

  • I'd rather vote for vince McMahon

    His wife ran for US Senate a few years ago (2010. My how time does fly)

    I'm sure the Donald and the Don have mutual interests

    His is a specialized brain. Yes he's figured out our bizarre version of capitalism and through much corruption and gladhanding on his part throughout the years he established himself. In our current system such established entities are very difficult to unseat...which is a problem with our system because the winners these days are not always the best the market has to offer...they're just the most connected.

  • Ehhh, connections help a ton, obviously, but Trump obviously isn't an idiot

  • The guy is certainly hated by people but I wonder, besides his clown like persona, which platforms actually offend you guys? I'm talking about the actual platforms not the paraphrases from the Huffington Post etc.

  • I know he supports an assault weapon (liberal speak, assault weapons are full auto and require so many hoops that only extremely wealthy people can afford it) ban. Or at least he did when he put it in one of his books in the early 2000s.

  • It is too easy just to blame Mexico for our mistakes like Trump is doing. Nobody forced us to sign NAFTA and there has been nothing to prevent us from building a border fence.

  • We don't have the money the country is bankrupt from fucking around internationally.

    direct quotes from his speech suffice

    I don't know his true platform, but I see crap like this and there is no way he is presidential material - http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/26/media/donald-trump-univision-doral-golf-courses/index.html

    Trump is the little kid that yells and screams when he doesn't get his way.

    He's a temper tantrum under a bad rug

  • And still no one has given me anything except examples of his own bombast. Which policies would you hate as badly were they delivered by Elizabeth Warren or Ted Cruz?

    Wanting an assault weapon ban would definitely make me hate anyone who proposed it.

    Fair enough but that's a pretty mainstream platform that seems to cross party lines except in a few cases.

    I think the assault weapon ban, especially just the idea of classifying bunches of weapons as assault weapons for no reason, should be unconstitutional. Still you don't find many politicians willing to repeal that.

  • assault weapons are already banned, unless you go through a lot of work to

    be granted a license to own one.

    Another example of term redefinition by liberals.

    Yeah I already mentioned that nonsense. Assault weapons are fully auto and already very regulated. They should just call it the "guns that look scary to me" ban. GTLSTMB?

    Like a shotgun with an aluminum stock is now an assault weapon.

    When the ban was enacted(1994), the politicians only banned imported guns....which was a nod to US manufacturers....so, even when banned, it was Ok to own one, as long as it was made here......

    They are not banned anymore. It was only a 10 year ban....plus, it was against foreign guns only.....and only ones made "after" 1994....the ban "expired" in 2004 and assault weapons are now completely legal.....and I own a bunch, btw.....

    Any "semi-automatic" combat weapon with certain features....pistol grip, folding stock, large magazine, interchangeable magazine, suppressor, etc is considered an assault weapon....

    AR-15, AK47 & SKS are the most popular and common assault weapons and all are semi-automatics.......and can be bought at the store....without a special permit.....all day, every day.....
