With Trump at the helm and his mental state, no telling how many people he would be willing to kill to maintain power once he achieves it.

Go back to pulling the wings off of flies, you're better at it than thinking.

Liar is you, Aussie.

You’ve got to give him credit. How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden — you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?”

I’ve always felt fine about Putin. He’s a strong leader, he’s a powerful leader, he’s representing his country,” Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump says on MSNBC.

“The idea that Trump would name originalists to the Supreme Court is equally risible when you consider that Trump has shown absolutely no clue or inclination to understand what originalism entails.”

This is moronic !

We don’t know exactly what we will get with Trump so let’s give Hillary those Supreme Court appointments ?

Sounds more like realistic assessment, not praise.

For president ?

Cruz shall be VERY lucky, should he retain his Senate seat, now that Texans know exactly who and what he is.

You need to face the reality, that Cruz shan't be the GOP nominee for president.

The anti-Trump crowd loves to say we don’t know what Trump will do, as if they have a better alternative. The senators have both turned their backs on the Tea Party that brought them to the dance.

So, we should pick from two senators, owned by donors, proven to be soft on immigration, and not a single accomplishment to their names besides making speeches and pushing red or green buttons?

Uhuh. Cruz should be worried. Dirty tricks while holding up a Bible is not so good IMHO.

You are, of course, 100% correct.

No Trump fan here, but I would never choose Hillary over Trump in a million years. In the primary, you vote your heart, in the general you vote the lesser of two evils. It has ever been thus. To Macchiavellianly Hillary will unite the right is silly. If an America-hating Marxist like Obama couldn’t do that, why would one expect Hillary to do so. I say, hold the nose and vote for Trump. I hope my expectations will be proven wrong and he matures and becomes another Reagan. At the very least, maybe he will take immigration enforcement a bit more seriously than our current and prior presidents. Trying to look on the bright side here.

Nor is hiding the fact that he was still a Canadian citizen, when he ran for the Senate, nor lying about liquidating all of his and Heidi's assets, to fund his Senate race.

Yes, there are still probably some in Texas who blindly still support him; however that number shrinks daily !

>> There is little question Trump would abuse power.

The little questions of desperate little minds.

You are not seeing the gist of the writers point.

He’s looking big picture and long term results of the two potential administrations, and then looking at it like you would a damage assessment.

His primary worry is the size and scope of government, which is the primary focus of most if not all conservatives.

The fact that you and other trumpers don’t even see it or acknowledge it is difficult for me to get my arms around.

To me it appears to be mass hysteria. Caused in part by viewing this contest with only the “right brain”, which is the emotionally laden part of the brain that is without any logic.

It is what it is...I am not even going to argue it. I recognize that I cannot counter it with logic or facts. Nobody can do that.

You and the author have convinced me. I’m going to vote for a treasonous scandal-magnet for president instead of a guy who has built a multi-billion dollar enterprise.

That way the next president can appoint Huma, Wasserman-Schultz, Cheryl Mills, and Elizabeth Warren to the SC.

He probably won’t get to fire them because they said they would quit if he becomes POTUS. Probably going to quit before people find out what they’ve been up to. I would investigate each and every one of them.

Except the author really makes no logical arguments here. They simply wave their hands and cast many assumptions without coherent reasons for why anyone should believe any of this is so.

The best they can proffer is some hope that Hillary will somehow remain gridlocked by a GOP-controlled Congress and thus not be able to get anything done. Yet Obama has already empirically demonstrated that he can get what he wants, GOP Congress or not. And the GOP Congress demonstrates time and again that they’ll effectively do nothing to stop him.

I doubt a Hillary presidency will be any different from this sort of pattern. There’s also no telling if the GOP will be able to retain control of Congress come 2018 and beyond.

So, yeah. I’d take my chances pulling the lever for Trump > Hillary.
