Filmmaker Michael Moore has no doubt that Donald Trump will become the GOPâs 2016 presidential nominee.
âDonald Trump is absolutely going to be the Republican candidate for president of the United States,â he said, according to Business Insider.
âItâs gone from being a joke to becoming a serious reality,â Moore added. "Also, I think people are feeling more and more that weâve moved back into a darker time.â Moore then admitted that he is concerned about rallying the Democratic voter turnout necessary to defeat Trump next year.
âHis numbers are high because they are polling Republican voters, or likely Republican voters, in the primary,â he said.
âBut when they poll him against [Democratic presidential front-runner] Hillary Clinton or [Bernie] Sanders, he still does quite well,â Moore continued.
âI think thatâs in part because my side of the political fence is the slacker side of the fence. The difference is his side always shows up to vote. My side, not so much.â
Moore additionally suggested he favors Sandersâs chances over Clintonâs during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary.
âMy biggest concern about Hillary right now is her lack of inspiration,â the director said. "She doesnât get big crowds. Thereâs not a lot of excitement about her.
âToo many young people see her as the same-old, same-old politics,â Moore continued. "She is going to have to have a bit of what [President] Obama had and a bit of what Bernie has if sheâs going to be the candidate.
âI honestly believe that Bernie Sanders can be elected president of the United States. I think people will pour out in droves to elect him and thereâs just not enough angry white guys anymore over the age of 35 to put Trump in office.â
Moore has repeatedly criticized Trump since the billionaire formally launched his campaign last June.
The âFahrenheit 9/11â auteur most recently launched a social media campaign against Trumpâs proposed temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S.
Why? Because a life-time NYC liberal (Trump) tells you otherwise?
No, it’s because you are delusional.
Pretty simple, really.
L
Uh-huh. But believing that a life long NYC liberal who supports single-payer government health care, higher taxes on businesses, and seizing private homes to give to private developers will return America to its (mythical) conservative roots is the heighth of rationality?
I hope Dick Morris keeps his predictions to himself.
Have you ever witnessed this Trump guy in the 80’s and 90’s?
He does not quit anything.
Okay. This guy is basically just a fat slob that pretty much hates anything American. That is it. That is his claim to fame. So why do serious news group ask him what he thinks about anything to do with our politics or anything else for that matter. No one cares what this POS thinks about anything. Shine him on........
So did many on the left, re Reagan and looked how THAT turned out ! :-)
A contest for village idiot?
Oh I don’t know. If Hillary makes Trump angry enough he will stay in the race just to give her a what for!
Hillary:Too many young people see her as the same-old, same-old politics.
Damn FatFace and I actually agree on something.
He’s a pig.
“Michael Moore hopes and prays Trump will be the GOP nominee.”
...and so do most of us here. The OTHER REPUBLICANS will likely listen to their ‘advisers’ (most of them gay, by the way), and ‘be nice to the lady’ and SUMMARILY LOSE.
yes dear
Who cares what this idiot thinks. He was obviously so worried about Trump he urged people to shut down Trump in Chicago.
