Could, it would. Right now since 1996, California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington (state) and Wisconsin have been consistently blue with at least four out of five of the most recent elections. By using the 2012 electorate, that is 246 electoral votes right there. They only need 24 more votes to win and Florida can do it alone.

No problem at all! Trump is what we need at the present moment.

The poll is missing an option:

I have a problem with Trump being president but I have no problem with Trump being the GOP candidate.

Ok, I am interested in your reasoning.

I would center my presidency on three principles: one term, two-fisted policies, and no excuses. For voters it would be a business approach, and the best one available in the presidential marketplace. I’d lead by example. And what I could also bring to the presidency is a new spirit, a great spirit that we haven’t had in this country for a long time-the kind of spirit that built the American Dream.

For this alone, you should give Donald trump a chance.

con: he is too old, he is going to be 70 years old, when my grandpa turned 70, boy, the things coming out of his mouth were out of control. LOL But since he doesn't mind being one term president, I see go for it. He couldn't be worse.

The only thing worries me is his ego and poor impulse control. however, this could be the way that he "brand" himself right now, once elected, he would be talking more like a president.

Had anyone other than Trump said that, I may lean towards voting towards him/her because I actually think mostly the same way BUT the problem is it is Trump. The Donald has an ego, his mouth and even worse, he is a control freak. I see him trying to use all the executive actions conservatives complain Obama accuses right now if congress drags their feet and can't compromise.

He actually doesn't say anything there. Two-fisted with which issues? What does he mean by two-fisted?

Shows how braindead the political commentators are on this section that they'd want a nut like Trump in charge. I'm not sure how an unprincipled racist kook would advance American interests but then again the braindead Tea people think George W. Bush walks on water

But that's like asking, "Do you have a problem with the boozer looking for handouts on the corner being president?"

Because neither he nor Trump ever will be.

That's probably what he will do. Trump is a narcissist.

Once people disagree with him or mock him, he will do anything in his power to hurt them. He will spend more time trying to screw people to feed his ego than fulfilling campaign promises.

That's a huge risk to take because you are hoping Trump becomes someone he has shown no proof that he can be. That's like marrying a cheater and expecting fidelity once the ring is on his finger because you hope for the best.

I don't believe this is a campaign strategy, this is Trump being Trump.
