Donald Trump....
Jump to: Newest in thread
"I told my daughter about Donald Trump the other day.
She's 6 and thought his name hilarious.
Oh no! says I, you *wait* 'till you see him! "
And then we had a reasonably long digression on what the office of the President of the United State of America is all about, and elections, and who Barak Obama is.
At one point I did find an infographic of all 18 contenders from both parties for the White House in 2016.
I said to her, look carefully at these pictures, for it unmasks something *very* important about the nature of politics.
"I don;t know," she says.
Look again.
There's 18 people there. 2 are women, one is black and the rest are all old white men. |

He is one of those people, who if someone asked you to describe him, your best answer would be "fucked." |

If the media is correctly reporting it....... apparently he plans to build an actual wall across the entire border between Mexico and the USA then repatriate 11 million human beings to their country of origin ....... |

the problem with american politics now, especially any presidential run.... you need very deep pockets, or a backer with very deep pockets to run...
other than trump, who finances himself (having 10 billion will give you enough to do that!) ben carson (republican) and Bernie Sanders (democrats) who are predominantly grass roots/social media funded... all of the others, clinton of the dem side... and the gaggle of republicans all are back by one or two with very deep pockets.... |

To be fair thought the country is majority white.
So an even distribution would be old white people although admittedly more women.
But most women do not choose to enter STEM or politics really.
Not by force or patriarchy or anything but the choices they make. |

"I don't think he'll actually get the nomination.
Everyone can relax.
Fabio... what's your view, as a Professional American?
"
i think that unless someone can really knock him off in the next 2 months... his chances get better and better....
he or carson will win iowa.....
Trump will win new hampshire....
then likely win South Carolina.....
there are too many "establishment" republicans in the race at the moment.... if a few were to pull out (which no one seems interested in doing right now) and rally around 1 or 2... i think that would be the best way to stop trump....

yeah... thats about right... he thinks he will deport about 12 million people back to mexico.... obviously thats cuckoo... but he only at the moment has to appeal to the partys base and that plays well... and not the general population |

Right now the country is getting pretty tired of the mainstream politician. A person has to be so freaking wealthy to run for the office, we don't think they're going to get anyone worth a crap. He just happens to have the money to be able to run. His chances of winning I would say are pretty good. |

The nature of politics. When you're given a choice between Satan and Beelzebub, no mater which one you vote for, or even if you don't vote. You're still screwed. |

"Only in America could Trump and Palin be taken seriously as political heavyweights."
That's bs. Italy, France, and plenty of other places have their "interesting" politicians as well.

"It's modern day politics...often more to do with hype than substance although to be fair I haven't been following this. All I can say is Ronald Reagan...anything is possible."
people always mention reagan when they talk about trump.... people forget that Reagan was a republican govenor of a liberal state of California before he ran.. so he was never as far to the right when he governed cali as when he was president....
the closest person to that type of republican in this race is probably chris christie... who is the republican governor of a liberal state (new jersey)
unfortunately a reagan type republican wouldn't win the republican nomination these days...... |

i still haven't decided.... actually the three left, clinton, sanders and o'malley all have impressed me in one way or another....
it is just such a stark contrast in how the republican and democratic nomination process is taking places.... the republican side has been about shooting down each other, and the media.... the democratic side has been much much more about policy and what comes next after obama...
did you see the democratic forum on friday night with rachel maddow..... it is about as impressed i have been with a debate type thing i have been in a long long time.....

No, I didn't see it. I avoid Rachel Maddow like the plague, to be honest. But I guess I'll have to go back and watch it now.
I have been a Bernie fan since I was a child. He has impressed me. I like his stand against big money in politics. I like his arguments against unregulated capitalism and I like what he has to say about income inequality. He is more genuine and believable than Hillary, and I respect him. Unless he fucks up in a big way, he's got my vote.
And the difference between the republican and democratic races has been the same as always. It's just more evident now because of the circus the republicans have made of their own party. In my opinion.

"He was only a couple of years ago hamming it up in wrestling rings and shaving Vince McMahons head.
Only in America "
Trump is a smart businessman, he knows where the money is, probably made millions from those wrestling appearances. Vince McMahon is also a billionaire. I'd like to see Vince run for president. |

That's an interesting concept however... Wouldn't a shrewd businessman want a return on his investment... You put a billion in to get 2 billion back...I haven't a problem with that philosophy except that history shows they tend to just rob the extra billon of well... Poorer people!

I watched it....
I'm biased but, Bernie won it by a mile.
I'm biased but all the polls also showed that Bernie won it.
That didn't seem to stop nearly all the media claiming Hillary won it and many of them seemed to claim that "the people" thought Hillary won it!!
The standard of journalism and the biased reporting is getting ridiculous |

"I've not been following the races the past few months.
But I hope Trump stands as a third candidate, therefore splitting the right-wing vote. " .
What you mean like Ross Perot in 92 allowing slick Willy to sneak past bush .
The trouble with that was, perot was actually the only candidate against the NAFTA trade deal, a deal that arguably killed more middle class well payed jobs than anything else |

"I'm sure they say much the same about Jeremy Corbyn"
So we all know where you stand politically then
Corbyn is a politician whether you like his policies or not. Personally I find his position somewhat refreshing, a change from the centre right politics we have inflicted on ourselves.
Trump is not a politician, but is a character that does not (in my opinion) earn any respect.
If you want to compare Trump with a UK politician may I suggest Farage is a better comparison? |
