  • saying that he wont pay more in taxes is exactly what we all think and know - how can anyone slam that?

    Trump admittedly said he is not preparing for the debate - saying that he is not a debator...

    that is probably another advantage for a guy like Trump - who thinks on his feet and wont rely on scripted BS

    so yea - keeping it real.

    It will at least sound natural and not robotic like the rehearsed horse shit that is normally spewed during debates.

  • yes its like -

    who doesnt love hearing that we are gonna beat pitspuke this year?

    without a winners attitude, you wont win, plain and simple...

    but really - not only Trump - but a few others like Cruz, Walker, Rubio, And Fiorina

    can deliver a message that isnt scripted.

  • But is Trump's recent success a good thing for the GOP?

  • Why not? A celebrity is the second most revered republican president of all time. America tires of petty politics no matter what side you're on. Tell me, woody, do you really want to see hillary Clinton as president?

  • Hitlery is now under investigation by the FBI.

    If the whole thing is going to be a joke (this applies to both ends of the political turd), it should at least be a funny one. Idiocracy is on the way!

    I think so. He is not your bat shit crazy far right winger. He may say some brash remarks but he seems honest and closer to the middle.

    Preach.

    Both parties are a joke, so at least make it entertaining and worth watching. I certainly won't be tuning in expecting to

    hear candidates discuss serious ideas and policy. Nothing more than the usual platitudes---red meat to the base.

    At least Trump will make it entertaining. And maybe, just maybe, he'll be able to yank some of the other candidates from

    their snoozefest of talking points into some actual back and forth and exchange of ideas. And if not, he'll hopefully throw

    a grenade into the room and make it interesting.

  • I'm all for Trump throwing a grenade into the room and watching other candidates duck and hide.

  • I agree with liking Trump for how has says things, and how he is campaigning. Straight talker, not pandering to billionaires (cuz he has the money), etc. But I can't agree with everything he says. I think that's where the difference in opinion comes from.

  • Mark Cuban on Trump:

    "I don't care what his actual positions are," Cuban wrote. "I don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This is more important than anything any candidate has done in years."

    Yes indeed. Yes not bought and paid for like Scott Walker. K-sick, Christie, & Hilary.

    He may fall on his face in the "debate" tonight, but he is 100% real.

  • I always expect bullshit and plenty of it in any political debate. I have not been disappointed yet.

    WSS

  • I'm looking forward to this one. Hope Trump eats them alive.

  • My first problem with Trump is Bill Clinton apparently encouraging him to run for president a few months ago. What is up with that? Bill certainly did not want him to run as a democrat. Now Trump is not saying if he won't run as a third party if he doesn't win the GOP nomination. If he did run third party would that throw the election to Hillary? probably.

    Also some of the big claims Trump is making he will not or cannot be specific how he will do it. He says he will make Mexico pay for a wall on the border. He was asked by FOX Bill O'reilly how he would make Mexico pay and he said simple and then did not answer the question even though O'reilly asked him about three times...

    I like Trump exposing the mealy mouthed republican politicians but the devil will be in the details of the promises he is making.

    Details didn't hamper Obama too much did they?

  • He also has a plan to end ISIS. He's keeping it a secret though

    And look what we got. Obama not just makes promises he knowingly lies when making the promises such as he did to get Obamacare passed.

    A candidate should have to explain how they will accomplish the promises they are making. Just saying because "I said so" is not enough.

  • I trust Trump more the the other chumps....
