Let's talk politics.

The only reason he gets away with this is because he has a billion friends he is willing to use to sue you to smithereens.

Trump wakes people up.

[daddy man]

Trump will divide and weaken the voting power of the Party. This will make a Democrat victory easier to accomplish. You guys that are old enough, remember Ross Perot?

[CUSP82]

Well we haven't gotten that far yet so I say let him talk and wake people up.

Just because someone is a registered democrat does't automatically mean they are going to vote for the democratic candidate, and visa versa. I believe that there are democrats that agree with some of the things he is saying. He probably won't get the republican nomination, but as Cusp said, he is waking some people up.

[BigRooster]

He definitely will not get the nomination. The GOP's golden boy is falling big time. Who do the big time donors look to? Romney. Really Republicans? If that doesn't tell you it's the people against the DC establishment. What does? With all the kazillion candidates vying for the nomination. They go to Romney. You really want to lose eh republicans?

President Trump would be a disaster, so why support him?

Click on the Republican debate held in Cleveland at the 44:49 mark. Donald is touted as an outsider, a man who will get things done. Then he goes on here - proudly I might add - saying how he has paid off many people, democratic, republican, etc. He has given over $100,000 to Al Sharpton. He pays them off then makes them do his bidding. This part of the debate hasn't gotten the attention it deserves, because Washington has been run like this for years. Rather then being an outsider he would fit in quite nicely. He gives out money to whoever might be able to help him down the road, he has no moral or political compass. The fact that this dude is even in the primary, let alone leading it, speaks volumes to where the Republican Party is today. Just when you people got the disaster known as Sarah Palin out of the medias eye, you have replaced her with this disaster. Rip Mrs. Clinton all you want, this guy is better???

I "liked" rbi's comment because I don't see how Trump is any different from the establishment, that is, in what he has actually done or supported. He's clued in on popular sentiment and doesn't have a current political position defend. So, since the dude's a smart business man, he's running with it.

But, comparing to Hillary, one seems to pretty clearly be a felon and a national security laughing stock, the other has bad hair.

[CUSP82]

Well I would say Donald is far better than Clinton. I won't go into all the faults Hillary has so I'll stick with Donald.

So he gave money to politicians; how does that make him bad? I've given money to some guys so why can't he? Is there a law against that? So let's say he gave money to politicians so he could get some favors from them when he needed them. So if giving money courts favor then if you don't need the money then no lobbyist can come and collect what is owed can he? So what do you want; a guy beholden to special interest or a guy that just does what he feels needs to be done?

Now what do I feel is Trumps strengths? Well he gets things done, one way or the other. He has been a great manager throughout his career. I think that's what a president should do best; manage things. Trump has always attracted the smartest guys around for whatever project he undertook. If he attracted the same smart people maybe we can gt he VA Hospital fixed so our vets won't suffer. Instead of appointing political people to do jobs there were not capable of doing wouldn't it be nice to appoint people, regardless of party, that knew what they were doing and could get things done?
