No he won't, I am hoping the right wingers are dumb enough to pick Trump because I want to watch them crash and burn in 2016. It would make for a great push for the Democrats as right wingers try to figure out what they did wrong.

Now you know how we felt about Obama. It doesn't feel so good now does it? Revenge is a dish best served cold, and where I am right now it's absolutely FREEZING.

I hear Portland is very walkable. Maybe you should get some fresh air, get the blood flowing and come back to reality alil bit. Trump will destroy the Democratic candidate...you will see.

Uhm.... I am not an Obama supporter. I voted for the boring white dude in '12. I think Obama may go down as the worst president in history. I would like to keep it that way and not put someone in there who would take his place.

It is walkable, and thanks for the laugh, Trump the Birther is going to get his butt handed to him in this election. Though it is gonna be fun playing the game what happened to the Trumpets when he loses.

So you would rather have any Democratic President that makes statements like: “Never kick a fresh turd on a hot day.” or maybe: “Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."


Both quotes are from: https://www.goodreads.com/author/quo...Harry_S_Truman. Here is one more from that link that I think Trump and his supporters (including myself) would approve: “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination, and unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” If Trump keeps the line of communications open with the public and continues to 'listen' when he becomes President; I think he could be one of our greatest Presidents.


You tell me what other 'professional political President' ever listened to the voters? I know that we cannot expect that of Hillary!

The worst president in history? Only if you ignore the history of presidencies in the US. Heck, even baby Bush ranks worse than Obama, so he couldn't even be worst president in recent history....

Their finances were in the toilet and their national pride was suffering badly. The things he said about "making Germany great again" sound a whole lot like what Trump is capitalizing on right now.

Not saying he is Hitler reincarnated, but he has found a weak spot in what people are feeling about America right now, and we are ready to listen to anyone who sounds like they are as fed up as us, and who promises to do radical things to change all of that. His body language is a lot like Hitler's, if you look at it.

Watch some old videos of Hitler at rallies, and you will see the same sort of blind loyalty that we are seeing at Trump gatherings. Might not seem that way to others, but I do see some disturbing similarities.

I recall Obama being "poop"ular when he first started running with his hope and change bit and people ate it up without complaints, vetting and such.

Nobody was worried then because he was 'the annointed one" the one that a woman thought that she was going to not have to pay for her gas and such - she got a rude awakening and recall she now hates Obama.

Trump speaks out about issues affecting this country that nobody else has the courage to do - he's a game changer and the establishments dislike him that means he's the kind of man this country needs now imo. Of course time will tell.
