Why not...it would be a big step up from an incompetent, cowardly, "community organizer" who's big accomplishment is doubling the national debt, playing golf, and taking 5 star taxpayer funded family vacations.

Someone finally has the cajones to say what we know to be true, and we're shocked?

Come on folks, you know better than this, yes?

Or are you shocked that someone finally verbalized it?

Since all 318 million American are not on the ballot, that is true. All candidates are selected since everyone is not on the ballot and everyone didnt vote.

Trump is on record warning if he's a few votes short and it becomes a brokered convention and he does not win, there will be riots.

military industrial complex controls everything and our votes are meaningless unless a non-politician gets in and shakes things up. Eisenhower warned us.

Not shocked at all. I have said for some time now that we, the people, do NOT elect Presidents.
We are given 2 names to choose from. We SELECT a President. And it doesn't matter which one we selected because both will follow the "agenda".


And have now put that much more faith in the posts on ATS.
In these past couple of years more of their tin foil conspiracies have turned out to be true.

Out of curiosity, who here's ready to riot and cause injury, destruction of property, and possibly death in the name of Trump? How far will you go and what would get you to stop? It's time you all put the "establishment" and the country on notice and start showing your numbers and strength of will; otherwise, it all just amounts to speculation and empty threats and you're little movement/clown show deserves no respect and consideration.

Maybe people on the right are sick of the "establishment" in DC.
Reagan was the governor of most populous state. And he wasn't a gimmick candidate. BTW, Trump is part of the "establishment." I mean. He's not poor.

He's not part of the DC establishment. He's an outsider to DC politics.
