So you're disqualifying his choice because he was MORE
Aug 24, 2015, 5:39 PM
|

specific? Or you're saying that he would actually be incapable of writing in Webb?

really tough one...I've always said elections are about...

choices and that sometimes you have to vote for the least offensive candidate, but Trump on the GOP ticket would really push my position to its limit.
If it's Sanders or Clinton on the dem side, then I might have to hold my nose and vote for Trump, but it would be very difficult at this stage of the game to commit to doing that. I also can't see myself not voting at all.
As much as it pains me to say...I would probably vote for Biden over Trump. Could definitely vote for Webb over Trump, but not looking like that would be an option.

I would vote trump, mainly for the ensuing hilarity, and on the premise he would not take us into any new wars, Specifically Iran.

I'm not sure how that premise is "logical"....

I think he's a loose cannon. I can easily see him pinning us into a corner mouthing off some non-sense in a press conference and then being forced to back it up.
His brand of "communication" would not translate well one in office.

Trump believes in progression taxation, nationalized health care, and has claimed to be both pro-choice, and more recently pro-life.
He is a black box, and has yet to offer any specific policy proposals. None the less, he is a trip and a breath of fresh air. But I think for the most part that he has no real depth of a policy agenda and is just throwing red meat out to the populists to gain traction.
I think back to Romney in 2012, acting like a hardliner during republican the the primaries, but appearing as more of a moderate in the General.

I am a progressive, I do not care for the status quo, and I think this country needs a major overhaul when it comes to leveling the playing field and instilling better values into future generations.

However, Trump would be miles ahead of a confirmed socialist. At least the man understands capitalism.

Jeb Bush: ‘Chill out’ on the ‘anchor baby’ controversy
Aug 25, 2015, 1:41 PM
|
|
“Mr. Trump’s plans are not grounded in conservative principals,” Bush told reporters. “…The simple fact is that his proposal is unrealistic. It will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. It will violate people’s civil liberties. It will create friction with our third largest trading partner that is not necessary.”
I can't imagine why Trump is polling so well.
