I'm now to the point where I would not support Trump in a general election under any circumstances. I was not a fan of him before yesterday, but comparing Dr. Ben Carson to a child molester was the last straw. Trump is an embarrassment to the party and those sane Republicans who still reside within the party and hope for it to grow and prosper. If Trump is the nominee, I'll vote for someone else. If the idiotic wing of the party wants to blow the general election in a very winnable year, let them do it. After they play with fire, I'm VERY looking forward to seeing them get burned.

I sometimes think Trump comes across a bit like a buffoon, however, I look at results more than talk. We have a lot of 'talkers' like Rubio and Bush but they are comparable to any other politician who talks the talk and doesn't bring results.

Even though things Trump says may be a turn off, it doesn't take away from his success in the private sector, and I feel he will bring that success to Washington and America.

Who do you want, someone who says all the right things and maintains the status quo in Washington, or one who doesn't and radically changes it for the better?

Like I've been asking LauraC, Bill Gates was also extremely successful in the private sector. If that's your reasoning for voting for Trump, would you also vote for the very liberal Bill Gates?

By the way, some of the best Republican candidates are also "talkers", by your definition. Would you refuse to vote for them?

I am torn between saying I will vote R regardless and if he is the nominee I will vote LIbertarian.

If this lynch mob of nasty Trump fans wants the Republican Party, they can have it. The rest of us can choose to go elsewhere. I'm tired of the Republican Party losing because a small group of people are so sheepish that they follow a candidate who has no experience, holds Liberal viewpoints, and insults anyone who disagrees with him.

Honestly just what results are you talking about?

All anybody knows about Trump is that he is sometimes a successful building and golf course developer.
He failed in NJ with his casinos, obviously he doesn't know as much about the gaming industry as he proclaims.
He has put more small construction contractors out of business by going bankrupt with failed projects.

Yes was good at conning bankers into believing his grandiose ideas on building projects and financing them.

Yes he is good by his own admission at donating to politicians to get favorable rezoning so he can build buildings and especially golf courses when the residents don't want them.

So when he becomes President are you OK with him bribing people with the public's money to get what he wants?

Fortunately the majority of voters who actually show up and vote know what a phony he really is and I doubt he will be the Republican nominee.

He is the Cliff Clavin of today's candidates.

The only thing I am sure about is that I would not vote for Hillary.

Oh, shoot! I can't take my vote back but if Rubio is the nominee, I'd vote 3rd party. There is something there and I know it and it isn't good.

I'm voting for Trump, if the GOP does something crazy and doesn't nominate Trump, then I'll vote Hillary. Trump is the only Republicans with a chance to become POTUS. The other strong candidates are all too ativistic on social issues and way too hawkish.

I'll vote libertarian, but that is easy to say in California where my vote doesn't matter. If I was in a swing state I would probably vote for trump over Hillary.

I know Hillary would be terrible. Trump has like. 10% chance to be good and 90% to be terrible.
