    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?

      Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind...

          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.

                      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.

                          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.

                                  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.

                                      Trump saying he avoids tax - though not a surprise - will further alienate about 40% fof the vote. He'd better be pretty damn on point on the rest of the topics if he wants to win and I don't think he will unite the swing voters enough.

                                      He could win the candidacy, but if the core decide he's too loud mouthed and a liability, he has no chance..

                                      Fwiw, if you think Obama has damaged the US reputation around the civilised world (he hasn't) then wait til trump has a go.
