All politicians are like that. Who else would put themselves through this process if they didn't have the same need? The difference is that Trump says what's on his mind while the politicians say what their consultants tell them to say.

I'm not advocating for Trump, but it is refreshing to see a politician who isn't afraid.

What you're seeing is a politician who is completely tone deaf to basic human societal decorum, such as not insulting dead soldiers and their families. He's "not afraid" to cross lines of basic norms because he is a sociopath and simply does not comprehend concepts like empathy for others and tact in terms of the insult fights he picks.

Oh, whatever! The Khans aren't more special than anyone else just because their son died in the war. Because 0.2% of Muslims fight in our wars, we have to let millions of people from the worst cultures in the world here?

I think Trump was wrong to pick that fight, but Clinton lied to Sean Smith's and Tyrone Woods' parents and to the American people, while their flag-draped coffins were nearby. And called them liars. Everything Trump says is magnified a thousand-fold, while Hillary Clinton gets a pass for lying, being irresponsible with classified material, and very shady pay-to-play deals as related to speaking fees and Clinton Foundation donations.

I abstained from voting on this poll because trump is neither crazy nor genius!

He is the product of privileged affluence who [still] acts like the spoiled little brat he possibly was as a child.

He's the guy who grew up accustomed to being the center of attraction everywhere he went and goes; kinda like "the pretty girl" we all went to high school with who could say or do no wrong, simply because she was "the pretty girl."

Well, guess what trumpy boy, you ain't no girl, and you'ze damn sure ain't pretty! So please, do some of us marginally conservatives a GREAT favour . . . SHUT THE F_CK UP ALREADY! YOU'RE KILLING WHAT LITTLE'S LEFT OF THE GOP!

Unlike Reagan, I think Trump will be a disaster. (I do believe that Reagan's naive and simple approach was very effective. He had a good vision, with no capacity or desire for details. The difference is that at least Reagan had a vision. Trump has none.)

Lightbulb Is Trump Crazy or a Genius?

He's neither. In Drumpfworld, it's always all about him.

Just an egomaniac.

How do you get that she lied? It's been investigated how many times? By Republican Panels who are foaming at the mouth to get her? And by our own system, she is innocent in the eyes of the law.

With 20/20 hindsight, I'm sure it would have played out different, but people make quick decisions and they are not always right. That is different than what she is accused of.

Lawyers and prosecutors (with an agenda and a vengeance) found no guilt, so tell me again how you know more than they do? Give it a rest already.

With $12 Billion in his bank account he's definitely not crazy..
Genius? he's said nothing to date that would make me think he qualifies as a genius.
IMO a more appropriate term to describe the man might be Ahole.
