I too think that poll is suspect, but enough places are publishing it that there has to be some merit to it.
Isn’t there another poll out there showing 35%? Thought I saw one yesterday.
At any rather, he’s not destroying the party. In a head to head, he would destroy Hillary. It would be the first time someone actually stood up to her and addressed her for what she is.
Exactly.
Concur. Trump is a narcissistic a-hole who isn’t even a conservative.
Good. Ignoring her is the best revenge.
I don't agree, for several reasons:
1) He speaks for a LARGE number of people, across the political spectrum, who are sick and tired of the general failure of the political class to look after the interests of this country and its people for over 50 years. They will vote for pretty much ANYONE else;
2) He is hammering everyone else, but particularly the Dems, on immigration. No, I don't agree with everything that he says, but most people want to shut the doors to illegals and regain control of our border - again, across the political spectrum;
3) The Dems are in disarray, even before Biden jumps in and/or Sanders goes 3rd party. Any Republican with a modest amount of popularity will probably win because of that, and because of the huge series of messes that Obama has made over the last 6 1/2 years; and
4) He's learning and getting more polished as a politician over time. He came in as a political novice and garnered huge attention and backing very quickly. Now that he's shown, again and again, that he doesn't back down from a fight and that he is calling the media and the professional pols out on their mistakes AND THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARD US, his popularity has increased quite a bit.
You might be right, but none of these factors mitigate in favor of your conclusion - quite the opposite, they point to a massive Trump victory. Remember, Ronald Reagan was "unelectable" in 1980 for a variety of reasons - he was a "warmonger," he was dumb, he was an actor, he was divorced, etc., etc. Now, either my memory is failing me, or those predictions didn't work out so well.
Precisely. There are a number of issues in the minefields here. I believe the Clintons were prominent guests at Trump’s most recent wedding to his latest trophy wife. And the fact that Bill called Trump just before his announcement is certainly pause for concern. Two peas in a pod if you ask me.
That bottom photo really proves the saying that you can’t buy good taste...
Oh, and Thomas English muffins, too. Broke my heart, as I used to like them.
>>No. The candidate himself. I find him obnoxious, in your face, arrogant, spoiled, infantile, childish, narcissistic, egotistical, brash, crass, crude, bombastic, blustery, pompous, impetuous, thin skinned, insulting, foul mouthed, brash, pushy, name calling. I don’t like his language or his style. I find the whole thing a big put off. It’s like a reality show and it’s wearing thin. Some people might be attracted this crap. But I think the whole thing is a circus. Trump is amusing at times yes. Presidential timber, laughable. We are really going down the toilet fast if this is the best we can come up with. I would like to see a little class and dignity in a presidential candidate. There. I said it. The emperor has no clothes<<
But enough about obozo.

But you CAN rent it.
I agree. A lot of similarities between the two.
Yes, we need more presidential candidates that run everything they say through a focus group and pack a teleprompter wherever they go so they don’t go off script.
Oh he is enjoying his life, he gets his kicks competing and winning among the big boys, and now for the Presidency. He would be miserable as a retiree.
Why? Trump likes to succeed, and nothing would please him more than being in history books as the best president ever in the US. Since he doesn't owe anyone political favors and he does know how to succeed, I absolutely believe he would put together a successful administration.
Mygosh, look at the number he's done on the opposition in the campaign, and the summer isn't even over!

Trump re-tweets the word "bimbo" and he's a "third grader," but your pharmaceutical induced tirade is somwhow reasonable?
Go sit yourself on a pole, and spin around a few times - troll.
Forbes, Bloomberg and maybe others have estimated DT's net worth at around 2.5 billion.
On the other hand, Don likes to brag that he's worth around ten billion. The difference of ca. 7.5 billion apparently is accounted for by what he says is the value of his "brand."
PS: If you accept that logic, maybe you might wanna take a look at the bridge from Manhattan to Brooklyn that DT currently has for sale.
