Donald Trump is running for president

biggie62 · Dec 7, 2015

This might be the first time in a long time that we have a Populist elected into office. I just hope that this spurs enough of the knowledgeable voters out there into the voting booths just in case one of the nutty Republicans wins their primary.

At least Trump isn't advocating rounding up Muslims and putting them into internment camps like every Democrats favorite president, FDR, did with Asians during WWII. Now that would be inhumane.

Trump is something else. I was in for the troll job and lulz but now its starting to get a little scary with all of the ignorant things he's saying, even moreso the amount of people that are in full agreement with him :x

I don't know how anyone can rock with this guy unless you're blatantly racist

I was in it for the lulz until I realized he's reinforcing the racists beliefs people already have. Dude is pouring gas on a already burning fire and it's dangerous. Really ******* dangerous.

dangerous is if he gets elected. our relationships with our allies and the rest of the world? we legit wouldnt be safe. nor would we be respected anymore to have elected that fool to represent us. itd be like california and arnold all over again, except on a global scale. and hes literally pandering to racists and bigots. theyre rallying up behind him too. this muslim and foreigner hate is INSANE coming from his side. he said it 20 years ago that he would run for pres cuz the republicans are stupid and here he is.

dude will say ANYTHING to get in office. and a person that is desperate to attain power, is incredibly dangerous

Calm down, Trump's not winning. He is getting what he wants most though: popularity and his name in the press.

Famb, stuff like this shouldn't be tolerated at all though. He is openly championing fascist policies in 2015

He has a real chance at the nomination, that puts him once October surprise away from the presidency

That it way too close for comfort

How is he getting away with saying this type of stuff?

Agreed:

Very true. He probably believes that deep down though; even if he said it publicly, people will still love him.

I can't support Trump for a few reasons:

1.) He wants to bring back big-government, Nazi-esque persecution of certain people (see his comments regarding mosques). I'm all for eliminating terrorists, but he's talking 1984 stuff. That's the opposite of freedom.

2.) He wants to bomb everything and push towards fascist deals with big oil companies (Exxon). How has dropping bombs worked out for us in the past? Trump wants more of the same: money wasted on meaningless wars, creating more terrorists, and us taxpayers taking the L.

3.) He wants to kill the families of terrorists (yes even children). Using our bombs to purposely kill innocent civilians? Perfect way to create more terrorists and anti-West hatred throughout the world. No lo quiero.

If Trump wins, there's one great positive: it'll be the first time the elites didn't get their hand-picked choice for president. Look at the rest of the GOP candidates: Jeb has turned out to be a frail boy, Rubio is gaining traction, and Cruz is far too right-wing to win any major election.

To add to this, I can't be a conservative as well: I'm anti-war / anti-empire / anti-drug war / anti-corporatism. I'm for social freedom / absolute free speech / government being 100% secular.

Because they are a large chunk of people in America that agree with him, and he is pandering to them

Those people happen to also be part of the Republican base.

It is not that he is getting away with it, he is getting reward for saying stuff like this.

I'm not really afraid of him winning, I know that's not happening. I'm afraid of him firing up his racist base, then losing, and them taking out their racist anger on miniorities.

True

There already fired up because they had "their" country taken away from them by a black president.

Them not "getting it back" might really set them off.

because the sad truth, is that a surprisingly (to some) large percentage of people, believe in the racist drivel that hes spewing. And he knows it, and hes banking on it. Hes saying what millions of those coworkers who smile in your face at work then call u a N***** or a S*** behind closed doors have on their mind. Hes pandering to the fearful, the bigoted, the easily persuaded. And that is a gigantic portion of america. Everybody isn't mentally strong enough to see through his antics. And thats how hes getting away with it.

I liken it to the video from 2 weeks ago where a muslim was talking about building a mosque at a town hall meeting, then some good ol boy stood up and said "i dont care what u say, you're ALL terrorists! ALL of you muslims are terrorists." and 90% of the room broke out into applause. racial tension has been on the rise at an alarming rate, and itll come to a head soon enough. and trump wisely figured he could play those idiots into following him.

Crazy as it seems he could easily replace Muslim with Black and still lead the polls :x

Like liberals do with Bush???

Americas total lack of leadership in the world and the Middle East is causing absolute chaos. Russia and ISIS are largely filling that void. Democrats wanted us out of the Middle East, well you see what has happened.

Please explain what you mean by lack of leadership in the Middle East? Or is that one of those empty Trump statements like "the President is doing an awful job". Could you be any more vague.

mister friendly · Dec 7, 2015

So Middle East didn't change at all with the US invading and occupying Iraq?

blco02 · Dec 7, 2015

We pulled out of Iraq just like every liberal and many conservatives wanted. ISIS is now taking over.

The world is a disaster guys. I'm sorry if you can't see it. The Obama/Clinton/Kerry foreign policy is a total joke. It will be a huge liability for Hillary. Let's not even talk about Hillary's "reset button" with Russia. What a backfire that was.
