Unfortunately it's hard to force some folks to accept the difference between being opposed to illegal immigration and widespread terrorism and racism. People are stupid.

Good chance he is a crazy racist. There is a lot about Trump that should scare people. He strikes me as more dictatorial than someone who's gonna bring people together to get things done. So Id be watching who he's using for advice and who would surround him in Washington, though I doubt he's actually willing to take any advice....which is the scary part.
There's a difference between being a racist and appealing to racists. Jingoistic and nationalistic? Absolutely, but nothing Trump has said is actually racist.
He says he's a deal maker, but theres not much truth in that. He's a builder, basically. So, there are not really many deals getting done in his line of work....and if you check the history of his "amazing" success, you will many many monumental failures.....many....Trump Unversity, which lasted 2 years and is now being sued for fraud....Trump Airlines lasted 3 years before it went bankrupt(and screwed a LOT of people).....Trump Magazine, gone in 2 years.....Trump Mortgage died in ONE year(great with money, eh?)....Trump Travel, less than a year......Trump Vodka?...gone........Trump Casinos have only filed for bankruptcy 4 times.....and all of these companies were basically Trump dictatorships, not joint ventures or businesses that "made deals" with other businesses....just Trump being Trump....and if it doesnt work, oh well....
Yet he's still a billionaire. People bring up his bankruptcies as if they're a bad thing. With all the projects he's been a part of, some of them are going to fail, and that much is going to be true for just about everyone with a lot of money. Bankruptcy is what you use to protect the rest of your assets if a business venture fails, and Trump successfully used that to protect the rest of his assets. It's funny, the people on reddit called 50 cent a genius for declaring bankruptcy, but when Trump does it, apparently it means he has no business acumen.
So....yeah....he's not part of the establishment, which is good.....he's not on the take, which is good....but is he the right guy to lead a nation that requires cooperation and an understanding of politics and how Washington works?.....hmmmmm
You don't own a billion dollar corporation without being good at working with others to get deals done.

I completely disagree....great business people dont file bankruptcy over 20 times and fail in 90% of their ventures. Trump would have failed 100%, but the banks bailed him out because they couldnt afford the hit....do the research. He'll tell you that he started with $1m and built an empire, but the truth is that he inherited $200m AND his fathers uber successfull building business and real estate portfolio...which, in 15 years, he ran down until they were mired in $8 billion of debt....he then has systematically sold off those holdings, acquiring more wealth......had he just invested the $200m and sold those holding when he had them, and NOT done all his great business deals....he'd be worth over $50 billion, instead of 4.....so, its all out there....he has taken a fortune and turned into unmanageable debt time and time again.....
One Post From the Truth said:
If anyone on earth can get our trillion dollar debt knocked down its Trump. He's all about America something we need.
Ha!.....or he could bankrupt the whole country....we shall see,,,,,he's never knocked any debt before, except in bankruptcy court....but, I will grant you, he IS very good at that

On a selfish level, Trump might be the best choice for my career long term. But that is assuming the country doesn't implode while he's in office. Or if he just destroys international relations. Or anyhing like that.
Clinton is a "safer" candidate, but the more I see of her the less I like. I'm not caught up in the email thing either, like others that are blowing it out of proportion.

When Bush and Cheney were in office, hundreds of thousands of people were killed to line the pockets of Halliburton under false pretenses. If Trump does more diplomatic damage than Cheney, I'll eat a shoe.

Yeah yeah yeah and immediately upon taking Office President Obama remove the troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and replaced Halliburton with their French competitor just as he promised. Look kids don't waste your time believing one party or the other loves peace.When Bush and Cheney were in office, hundreds of thousands of people were killed to line the pockets of Halliburton under false pretenses.

Or wants to punish Wall Street.

As usual....all the choices are crap....so, if you're voting, you'll be choosing somebody with major flaws....thats for sure....
Just gotta decide who "really" has your better interest at heart and will work to actually fix the mess we are in....
Of course, that's if you care about economics and how this country works.....but if you're only worried about their position on national security, immigrants, guns, or abortion and dont care about anything else(like unemployment, jobs, taxes, corruption) then choose your poison....the choices are clear and easy.....

To be honest, the biggest reason I want to see Trump win is to see how things shake out. Can you imagine the ramifications to the agrarian economy if he deported 11 million illegals? The prices of produce would skyrocket, and the fallout would be entertaining to say the least. He's pissing off both the GOP and Democrats, Fox News and Huffington Post. Get your popcorn ready because his first 100 days are going to be the media's wet dream.

Well then I have to assume Trump will actually strengthen American manufacturing.

I'm so jaded with the past 16 years of Bush and Obama, that it's hard for me to find a fuck to give. Constitutional rights were eroded under both of those administrations. At least if I vote Trump, I won't be surprised when he limits the 4th amendment even more.

He'd only be the president. I don't stay up nights worrying about campaign promises.
He barely even makes coherent promises just promises to make us great again. Wonderful. I wouldn't expect him to be able to get anything done. Just like if Bernie Sanders gets elected I'm not going to stand out in my front yard waiting for my truck load of free shit.
Come on, you're a smart guy you think any of that bullshit will happen? You think they'll be 10 feet of wall built? You think he'll round up the illegals? Anything? He's one of the President.

Back when we were 10? Hahaha...

But I get where you're coming from. It was one of the reasons I was thinking Bernie. But now, it would have to be Trump to accomplish that.

But if you did run off the migrant workers the Democrats would have to put their money where their mouths are about good paying jobs four Americans. Put the afl-cio on that job.

No, I've said I don't think half the crazy shit he's suggesting will ever be done. Checks and balances are in place to keep us from jumping the shark. I expect that he'd be a moderate liberal president and we'd get much more of the same. That said, I'm interested in seeing what he tries.

I was a few days away from being eligible to vote in the 2000 2004 election (that was 16 12 years ago? shit). If only I had punched my way out the womb a bit earlier. Come join the side of high energy and meme magic. BUILD WALL.
