Early on in the primaries, Trump said something along the lines of how he could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue in New York City, shoot someone and not lose any supporters!

It seems to be true!

How many outrageous things does he have to say, even when they are not in his campaign's best interest
before people realize he is NOT going to morph into someone who acts presidential... or for that matter someone who simply acts like an adult?

How many Republican politicians will have to openly declare they will not support him and in some cases declare that they WILL vote for Hillary?

How many reports do we need to see like the recent one signed by 50 ex senior security officials that a Trump presidency would put the nation in peril?

When do you realize first of all that Trump was never this great businessman to begin with and even if he
WAS, our system of government does not appoint a CEO to run things from the top down, like a corporation.
It requires WORKING WITH PEOPLE, reaching across the aisle and working with them to get things done.
As far as "reaching across the aisle", you can forget it with Trump! He's alienated HIS OWN DAMN PARTY before the election has even taken place. How will he work with democrats? Someone will look at him the wrong way and he will engage in a petty, spite filled pissing contest that lasts years because his skin is thinner than wet rice paper.

At what point do people just realize this guy is a joke?

Don't expect the true believers in Trump to change.

Instead, turn out the votes who oppose Trump and what he stands for. There's a lot more of those who dislike Trump than the true believers.

Trump said it himself, he could shoot somebody in the middle of 5th avenue, and he wouldn't lose any voters. Trump gave a voice to the scared white guys, they'd vote for him no matter what.

The same question can be asked of Hillary supporters. Hillary is as deeply flawed as a human being can be.

Really? Are you serious? Shall we talk about how flawed Hillary is? Sorry. Hillary is NOT trustworthy at all. Besides being a socialist!

Look at the mess she and her party have made in this country. Look at the mess in the middle east, much of which is Hiallary's personal doing.

Here's what he stands for: FREEDOM and AMERICA. I don't even know what Hillary stands for except for Muslims and BIG GOVERNMENT. You know she's going to raise your taxes, don't you?

Thanks for the laugh OP! Trump supporters appreciate the fact that the Dems are "grasping at straws". The stench in the air coming from the left can be a little overwhelming though!

Trump has come a long way and gotten himself up to speed on the issues/solutions. He was looking and sounding very Presidential while giving his speech on economics.

Trump all the way to the White House! Fellow Trump supporters, did we pick a winner or what!

"Scared white guys?" You even have the slightest clue why Trump is so popular, do you?

I am not a fan of Hillary but she is far more prepared, qualified and knowledgable about the office she is seeking than he is.

I don't like Hillary Clinton, I don't think she will be a great president and I don't like what she stands for.
I WILL however be eagerly voting for her if it helps prevent Trump from getting anywhere near the office.
It's a contest between someone you don't like versus someone who has no business being considered in the first place.
