This is America. This is part of the political process. People express feelings about who they like and dislike. That does not have to ruin anyone's 'fun'.
Exactly. Free speech.

And frankly, Trump certainly hasn't played by the rules or worried about raining on anyone's parade.

People who can afford it have decided it is time to fight fire with fire. When a candidate spews hate and negativity the way Trump does, it is not surprising that people will tire of it eventually and respond in kind.

It's amazing that Trump does so well when so many are trying to destroy him. I've never seen such a large smear campaign for any presidential candidate before, everyone is blatantly hating the guy in front of everyone. Still, he rises above it. I can't decide if it's because the smear campaign, in reality is just free advertising or if he's just that mighty.

Pretty much the more they knock Trump, the more his numbers go up.

The fact that you think it is only a 'claim' and that he is not spewing and inspiring hate or negativity speaks for itself.

And playing 'dumb' or 'naive' about it simply reflects on a cult-like response to it by his supporters. Skywriting was correct. He is disgusting.

We live in an age where reality TV shows, And bad celebrity behavior only scores them more points. It's the "Any publicity is good publicity" and Trump has a planet sized ego which only fuels him. There will be more and more outrageous behavior from him as we near the big day. I would not be surprised if he shows up drunk to a press conference wearing a top hat and flips over the podium at this point. I also agree with ocnjgirl post about him just wanting to win. For the record on my part, I think he is a clown and overgrown child with lots of green. Just sayin'.

The more you post on hating trump the more people will vote for him. He is connecting with people and he is right I have no problem with his what he is saying. Illegal immigrants are not a minority groups in America they are an Illegal group.

With "friends" like that, who needs enemies?

Thanks for that. (I deleted the links just to save space and no reason being redundant.) I found the links to have one thing in common. All published by left, liberal publications. Not to mention, it's all really no more than one or more persons opinion. And of course the left will say anything about the guy. They can't wrap their heads around the fact the more he speaks his mind about what is wrong with this country with no regard to the PC nonsense, the more his popularity grows. Like it or not, the majority of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction. Most of it in the last eight years....imagine that. It's about time we have a candidate that is willing to take on the problems facing this country with out the fear of "hurting" a particular group or groups of peoples feelings. FWIW, he had my vote about two minutes after announcing that he is running.

Personally, I find all the infighting within the Republican party to be hilarious! Democrats tend to be more unified (it's really only Bernie vs Hillary on the Dem side). The more the Repubs fight each other, the greater the chances of the Dems keeping the White House next year.
I'm quite sure Clinton will be our next president. Who do you want? Throughout the internet I have hardly seen any support for Clinton though plenty and I mean plenty of support for Sanders.
