Thank you

Like him or not, want him or not, Trump will most likely be the next POTUS.

What this will mean for the USA no one really knows. But here's one thing to consider, regardless of whether we agree with "Grumpy Trumpy" or not, I want him to be successful as President. I don't agree with all his positions, and hope that not all his plans come to fruition. But frankly, Presidential candidates have the tendency of saying anything to get elected. Often, some of the promises they make are far fetched and unachievable.

Regardless, may future President Trump have the well being of the USA at heart first and foremost. I get the feeling that his tone, opinions and political positions will be more tame once he realizes the seriousness of the Presidential Office.

May his Presidency serve us well.

I voted with the no group....there is a possibility of a breakup but I think that's unlikely. If Trump wins the Presidency, it will certainly greatly change the face of the Repub Party.

In a few months of campaigning, Trump has accomplished more for average Americans and their future than any elected President in our lifetime. It was over for this country before his surprising and amazing campaign, but now ten of millions who had given up hope are re-connected.

His candidacy, with the obliteration of the death grip of PC as its cornerstone, is exactly what we needed and is a gift that, for decades, no one had thought to be even possible.

I don't see it as inevitable at all. Trump has white males but doesn't have African Americans, women or Hispanics -- three groups in combination that will prevent winning the large electoral college states and swing states, like Florida.

Not bad for an extreme Leftist. But consider that Trump is like an old school Democrat...he will lie and promise the moon during the election cycle knowing full well what he says will never be implemented.

What you are indicating is that someone with no realistic or workable solutions and policies that are exactly like other GOP candidates, can capture a segment of the population with a slick rap and marketing campaign.

When I said "unworkable" above, what did I mean? Trump has a tax-plan that reduces revenue by about a trillion a year. He also plans to spend more on the military and not cut Medicare or Social Security while also planning to deport millions of immigrants, which is estimated to cost $400-600 billion. He also said he wants to reduce the debt. None of that is mathematically possible, even if one cuts spending on the rest of the government to zero.

But, Trump has a loyal following that doesn't rely upon facts or math to spoil their impression of Trump.
