As a Democrat, I'm torn on this. On one hand, I want them to keep Trump because it gaurantees a win for the White House, Senate and possibly even House. On the other hand though, this feels wrong. I can't celebrate a win that happened because a sleazy con man ran a scampaign on the opposition. Sure it exposed the dangers of relying on rubes as one's voter base, but I doubt the Republican Party will make any meaningful reforms now that they're armed with this knowledge. Anyways, what do you think? Dump Trump or just grin and bear it for five more long months?

If you use your brain, you might want to vote for Trump. The democrats certainly don't have anybody better, just meaner. The threads on here talking about what Hillary is doing to Trump are disgusting, mean-spirited and nasty. Birds of a feather flock together.

I like his positive attitude.

I like his patriotism.

I like that he wants to protect American citizens.

Muslims are not compatible with our form of government. They should be banned.

Keep Trump. I wouldn't send out the invitations for that victory celebration as yet. As a Dem, you can't really be sure who will be your party nominee yet. We, Trump supporters, really want it to be Hillary since Sanders polls so much better consistently against Trump. So, I'd hold mailing those invitations for that victory!

No.


Republican constituency has someone they are passionate about and supporting policies they want.


He is a master speaker and will do very well against boring, wooden Hilary in the debates.

And by brain, do you mean my reptilian brain? I'm afraid even my inner lizard is not a Trump fan. He HATES people who rip off single parents with hungry children, which is what Trump U sales people were instructed to do.

Keep Trump, it will make it easier for Hillary to win than if they ran someone who was a more reasonable possibility.

No, doing so is a smack in the face to the voters. It would also ensure they lost. Trump still has a shot at winning. Crowning someone who didn't win would ensure the GOP went down in crashing flames in November.

According to Political Wire, on the latest CNN/ORC poll, 51% of Republicans want to nominate Trump while 48% want to dump him. Redstate, a conservative website that despises Donald Trump, picked up on the same thing.

I'm torn.

A part of me would love to watch him get thoroughly rejected in Cleveland. That would be the best entertainment we've had in a long time.

But the other part of me wants him to stay in and be thoroughly humiliated by Hillary Clinton. I so want to watch him in a one-on-one debate (and I'm certain Trump would only agree to one, if that), where she will come armed with facts and figures and an incredible knowledge of the world and geopolitics and world leaders, and Trump will have naught but a bunch of insulting nicknames to parry her facts with.

Nope, I can't decide. Each option has such possibilities of Trump humiliation that it's impossible to choose.

I'm not a big fan of Trump, and anyone with a decent grasp of economics should have serous reservations about how his proposed "fence" and intensifying a campaign against a problem that's difficult to define, let alone specifically identify, would work, or would cost.

But no other candidate has been as able to manifest or consolidate the resentments of many responsible, working Americans against the collection of self-designated intellectual elitists, professional political hacks, naïve Social-Justice-Warrior teenyboppers, and just plain social detritus which Trump has awakened and coalesced.

I sincerely wish that a coalition of Libertarians, Constitutionalists, mainstream Republicans and independents could pool their resources and unite behind a candidate who understands that expressionary and economic liberties are rooted in the same principles, but that seems increasingly unlikely. So it seems more and more necessary that come Election Day, I'll have no choice but to hold my nose and vote for Trump.
