Presidential race 2016

[Adub]

It snowed this morning.

It has been raining in drought stricken California. God is good.

This is the clip I saw -

Did that reporter say they were shouting "epithets" (a term of abuse) or "epitaphs" (a commemoration of the deceased)? Towards the end, say 1:20 mark.

Whatever, the crowd was loving the perp walk.

Almost every time I have something to say about that POS fuckface I have to backspace through it because I sound like a ranting moron.

He may be our next President.
I'd vote for him, but my vote will be cancelled out by 'Z'. She is definitely voting for Hillary.

[Maggot]

.............He could win, I'm not sure but if faced with him or Bernie I think the hand waving Pepe's head may explode from the altitude. Amazingly people trust Trump more than Hillary for some reason. It may be the new reality show at some point though.

[Donovan]

I'd like to nail that muthafucka right between the peepers with a D battery. *flexes*

Now I KNOW you're from Philly.

No, I don't think Donald Trump will ever win an election in this country. He is too much of a narcissist and if he did win, probably ever country that has air power would bomb the shit out of the USA....Trump attracts hateful, distrustful, paranoid bigots and doesn't appeal to the masses. However, he sometimes speaks loudly thoughts that we have, but are too timid to express for fear of being ostracized from the mainstream...I will admit when I see people covered in black with their heads shrouded by a black headdress commonly called a burka or something similar depending on the country (I think)....I can't see you, therefore, I can't trust you. If I can't trust you, then I fear you....I am sorry, but if you want to come to this country, I think the least you can do, is you know, try to adopt our customs, beliefs, etc....you know, the "when in Rome" thing......

Predictably, one of my ole' flying buddies (the one who was going to pray for me cuz I didn't watch Fox News, is a Trump follower. She took offense at my belief that his followers are less educated (downright stupid and ignorant).....but I take offense to her sending me anti-Obama messages for the last 9 years. Everything is his fault, just everything (according to her and her Tea Party buddies)....We all like to point the finger at Obama when we are unhappy with Gov't. We are too busy blaming each other, to accomplish anything positive....we have Members of Congress voting themselves a raise, but that is the only vote they have made in months and they continue to act like naughty school children......when we have dysfunctional lawmakers, it dribbles over to the people and suddenly we are a nation of people arguing, shouting, calling each other names, and making zero progress in resolving the important issues. Instead of blaming Obama for everything you are unhappy about, you need to take a good look in the mirror. Just what have you contributed to effect solutions to real issues......

Hate begets hate and Trump does that well; he is not a nice guy. He is a pathetic POS.

O.K. I made a little comment on FB about Trump and two people went to my FB home page and took info that was private (it is on public forum, but you still need permission to repost anything personal according to FB community standards). It pertained to a medical condition I have and my hometown and these two idiots reposted this info on another web site. I was furious so I am closing my account to the public as these Trump dummies can't respect anyone who doesn't agree with them.

Maggot, I don't agree that people trust Trump more than HC. They just are louder and make more noise.....I just think there are enough normal people here in the United States who would never allow Trump to become President of this Nation.

Now I KNOW you're from Philly.

Nah. I'm a native New Yorker and now I live south of Pennsylvania.

[Maggot]

Every year the third party encroaches more on the established political club. When people hear what they perceive as "different" they tend to mooooooooooove towards that bell. Its a crap shoot right now.

Tomorrow at 9 pm ET, President Obama will deliver his seventh and final State of the Union address of his Democratic Presidency; the address will be live streamed and broadcast across major television and radio networks.

And Thursday night, Fox Business Network will host and live-broadcast the sixth Republican debate at 9 pm ET.

I'm a little bummed about the debate line-up. Fox narrowed the number of participants this time; candidates needed to place in the top six as determined by an average of recent national polls, or in the top five in an average of recent Iowa or New Hampshire polls. Neither Rand Paul nor Carly Fiorina made the cut and were thus relegated to the 6 p.m. ET second tier debate. I think both are better presidential candidates than Ben Carson. But, so it goes.

I agree with Paul on a few issues and agree less with Fiorina. But, she is by far the best orator on the stage, in my opinion, even when she's not at her personal best. Even when I hate what she's saying, I think she elevates the quality of the debate.

Paul's campaign contends that he won't participate in a lower tier debate. So, Fiorina will be debating the issues with Mike Huckabee and Rick Santorum.

Ha! One of my closest girlfriends is from South Philly, she might be all of 5 ft. tall but that doesn't keep her from giving anyone some lip. I can totally see her saying that.

No, I don't think Donald Trump will ever win an election in this country.

I used to think that too but I no longer feel as confident about that as I once did.

I now believe that Trump has a serious shot at the Republican nomination too. It should be interesting to see how far he goes with his Cruz birther strategy at Thursday night's debate. Cruz is right on his heels.

Trump's currently beating Clinton in some general election polls as well.

And, Bernie Sanders has pulled ahead of Clinton in New Hampshire again.

[Duchess]

We can't have Donald Trump representing the United States for christssake. My God.

...it would be like having Paris Hilton as the FLOTUS or Kim Kardashian as Secretary of State. That shit is embarrassing, more embarrassing than past embarrassments.

[sally]

I always thought he had a shot, I like him better than Cruz or Carson.

I think he's going to take it, mark my words.

[HairOfTheDog]

I marked (and cursed) your words, sal. I hope they're wrong.

6 months ago, I thought Trump's popularity would probably spike due his celebrity and then drop the more he talked and the more his novelty wore off. I was wrong. No matter what he says or does, his popularity and support isn't waning.

I still don't think it's a given that either Trump or Cruz will get the Republican nomination, not at all. But, I'm coming to accept (begrudgingly) that there's a fair chance one of them will be running against Clinton or Sanders and could end up occupying the White House.

[Duchess]

Sal saying " I told you so".

I am so opposed to that clown being our next Prez.

Embarassing to who? The U.S.? Hillary still has a Trump card in this. She's not stupid. But if the Dems try and put Trump in the spot light on college transcripts it really only goes back to Barry. He has still not complied with any of it.
Hillary feels she can go off her empty accomplishments. She needs to step it up with real data. Otherwise she may lose the faith that is slipping even here and at a few other outlets.
I never gave Trump much. A year ago it was unthinkable but he has momentum, and as the election draws close, unless he fucks up big time with some serious shit he is a contender like it or not. The Dems have Sanders to contend with and the Pubs have Trump. I will wait to see what the spring/summer has to offer before making any decision.

A 3 ring circus comes to mind though. and that's not what anyone "planned".
