It is one crazy and sad thing when the best we can come up with as a nation are the three main contenders in the 2016 POTUS race.

That's been debunked by Politifact, which gave it a "False" rating.

They did a much more in depth analysis and found that the numbers and dates were cherry picked in some cases, and downright wrong in others. This was started by occupy democrats and repeated by a magazine written by and for people who want you to put your money in the stock market.


As to the fifth grade education, there are a lot of doctors and lawyers that I know personally who are trump supporters. His supporters have been so demonized, as can be seen right here on CD, that we just don't go around advertising it. In fact, the other people I know to be doctors right here on CD are Trump supporters. We can speak more freely on an anonymous forum. Trump IS the front runner, so he has a lot more support than people give him credit for. I think the people who have less to lose are more likely to be vocal about their support, so it gives the illusion that they are his only supporters, but the numbers tell a very different story.

The last poll that I saw of NJ had Trump ahead in the primary by something like 28 percentage points above the second place candidate. This is NJ, not Alabama. All those NJ Trump supporters can't be uneducated. He's never going to win the General election in NJ, but in the republican primary, at this point in time, he is slaughtering all the other candidates.

Yes, such as Hillary, who knows the White House like the back of her hand after vacuuming up pubic hairs from many of the rooms. Especially the ones with beds.

It's typical of liberals to demonize what they don't agree with and set up parameters as to what constitutes racism/intolerance. To them.

After they set it all up...then they start the bullying.

And check out the bullet points that define narcissism. Trumpolini exhibits each and every one.

He's not an outsider he's an American citizen who has as much right to run for President as you do.
Dont like what he stands for? fine dont vote for him,

The love for Trump has nothing to do about 5th grade educations. Some people for whatever reason just fail to or refuse to recognize a phony.

I don't disagree with everything that Trump says but I am smart enough to spot a phony who is just telling a lot of unhappy people just what they want to hear.

A huge wall along the Mexico border and Mexico is going to pay for it! Really?

Going to " make America great again" when did it stop being great?

As far as doctors being real smart. Ben Carson believes the earth is only 6,000 years old. So much for the brilliance of doctors.

I don't know that the direction you are taking this discussion has anything to do with Trump in relation to NJ, and maybe should be asked in the politics forum, but here it goes.

A phony? If I wasn't willing to vote for a phony, who would be left to vote for?
But seriously, Hillary is a huge phony. I don't know that she actually believes in anything. She will say whatever she has to to get to the whitehouse. Nobody really trusts her, but she doesn't get bashed for it all the time. What makes her less phony than Trump?

You just defined politics. See above.

I think he actually really believes that. I don't know if he can get it done. He would need the cooperation of congress. Mexico needs us a lot more than we need them. We have a large trade deficit with Mexico, so I don't think he is saying they will pay for it in a literal sense.

Meh, it's a campaign slogan. It seems to be working.

Well, if you actually went through medical school, you would never say that. You need to be at the top of your class to get in. You need to read and memorize at all waking hours for 4 years, and then to get a neurosurgery residency, you need to be at the top of your medical school class.

A lot of brilliant people believe stupid things, especially when it comes to religion, and Ben Carson certainly made his share of idiotic statements. But in spite of that, I would bet his IQ surpasses yours or mine.

Trump supporters know he can't build a wall and have the collectivist narco-sewer state of Mexico pay for it. They can't even keep things clean or straight within their own border. BUT HE WANTS TO BUILD IT. And that is what is being voted for. Someone who has the right ATTITUDE. Rather than an Obama analogue like Hillary who is a destitute mediocrity with no cogent philosophy other than to sacrifice and destroy everything that made us great by eliminating freedom, individual rights, and private property rights.
