I mean honestly, are we really going to do it? History tells us that come November of 2016, we will vote a republican into office. I don't even need to know the candidates and I would still be very willing to take the bet. Knowing how much of a lead Trump has, I'm actually quite certain he will be the next president and I'm actually a little scared. Truth is, that when we have 8 years of the same president, swing voters almost always swap their vote to the opposite party. The pattern becomes even more obvious when the person leaving office has a serious drop in approval rating. The two usually go hand in hand. Most of the population will say after 8 years of Obama that we need a republican in office. The fact the Democrat candidates are quite weak helps the equation, but again, I would take the bet regardless of the candidates.

As for Trump himself, I honestly don't get his attraction as a potential president. I'll let you in on my personal opinion of hm. His potential candidacy for president, in my opinion, is comparable to Arnold Schwarzenegger being governor of California. I thought he was a joke. I was honestly ASHAMED to call him a governor. I feel the exact same about Trump, I would be completely ashamed if he became president.

He's a television star for crying out loud. He's pompous, self-centered, arrogant, downright rude and a whole lot of other demeaning adjectives. I get it, people want change and they like the fact he's not politically correct. Well, we all wanted change when we voted Obama into office and we know what happened there.

Bottom line.... Trump is a shell of a candidate when compared to Fiorina and Rubio. They are by far the best choices in my opinion. Can people not see his lack of maturity when compared to these two candidates? For some reason Jeb is way up there in the polls, mostly likely because he carries the name of Bush. I don't really understand Carlson's attraction and honestly I wouldn't want either of them as president. The whole thing baffles my mind and I'm quite frightened by the idea of Trump being the next president.

Please share your thoughts on the matter. If you're a serious Trump supporter, please tell me why you side with him. Thanks.

Is he really a serious candidate in USA? I wasn't paying attention to US elections.

Aren't most of them politicians? Some are just more polished and don't wear it on their sleeve embroidered in bright red.

It's quite obvious he won't be voted in, I mean honestly he simply doesn't have the support he needs from the Republican party to win. Endorsements are a very critical part of determining who wins, not just because they are a hint to who insiders think will win, but also because the people who make endorsements can influence the outcome of the race by strengthening a candidate’s local ground game, promoting the candidate to fellow party leaders and pitching the candidate to voters. Unless of course, Trump decides to run as an independent.

But honestly only time will tell

I' m gonna be brutally honest with you.

People gravitate to trump because he represents the opposite of what white males feel is happening in this country right now.

We have a group that is supposedly in power, an a group that the left will tell you took their power on my the backs of others. They use this excuse as a justification for discrimination against white males.

Trump in all his racism represents a rebellion against a perceived attack on the "white man". That is a perceived incoming further discrimination ( which minorities hate when they percieve it on themselves)

Imagining a reality TV personality and real estate mogul going to be a US president is very hard for me. I'm just keep hearing words negotiation and fired every times.:bdpf:

I don't even know, to be honest I don't trust any candidate ever, because often they never fulfill their promises and what they said they would do never happens.

He's at the top of the public polls. This means among Americans weighing in on their favorite republican candidate, he is at the top. This doesn't mean he's the favorite choice for the republican party as a whole, but he is the favorite among voters.

What matters about the candidates is what they portray themselves to be and the fact Trump acts the way he does is downright insulting.

You can I won't be
Did I sound like a Trump supporter? Haha

A "congress" is another word for a group of baboons. This is why the Congress literally up to its name. Donald Trump is simply mocking the joke that is politics in the US(and the rest of the world too, for good measure). He would have my vote if I was American, and I hope he Trumps all the other contenders at the next US election. Ty, and Donald Trump rules. :bdpf:

Tbh some of the promises Obama has made, he has kept. However many of the times it's not the Presidents fault that a law has not been passed, congress is a huge deciding factor. If they do not see a law as fit or worthy to be passed due to any number of reasons, they can and will reject it.

Also Carson is the best choice imo

Yes, some of them but never all, though I know fulfilling them all is virtually an impossible goal anyway due to how they system is set(which can be both good and bad). The government itself is something I just don't trust, get enough people in it who don't care and everything is ruined(not literally everything, but much is). There are some good people in there and then the ones who just don't care, too bad the lousy ones are not weeded out.

I agree, that's why i'm delighted when I see someone with a decent heart running for presidency, and I do believe Barack was(and is) one of those, unfortunately the President, as powerful as he is, still has to answer to the corrupted men in congress. The government won't be changing anytime soon

If he becomes the President, which he won't, every other country would laugh hysterically at the baboons that made him the President. US becomes a joke.

No. He's a publicity candidate. No one will actually vote for him, he's just needed to increase the voting populace.
If this were true, than the exit poles right now are not representative of the voting populace. One thing I am not informed on is how accurate exit poles from this early in the debate prove to be. If you have evidence of candidates with such a serious lead not posing a threat later, please inform me.

It's quite obvious he won't be voted in, I mean honestly he simply doesn't have the support he needs from the Republican party to win. Endorsements are a very critical part of determining who wins, not just because they are a hint to who insiders think will win, but also because the people who make endorsements can influence the outcome of the race by strengthening a candidate’s local ground game, promoting the candidate to fellow party leaders and pitching the candidate to voters. Unless of course, Trump decides to run as an independent.

But honestly only time will tell
Sure endorsements and republican support are prime factors. Often people will vote for or against certain candidates depending on how they think they'll fair against the opposing party's candidate. However, it all ultimately comes down to the American vote. The electoral vote decides it. How can you be so confident Trump has little chance if he's so far ahead in the polls right now?

If he becomes the President, which he won't, every other country would laugh hysterically at the baboons that made him the President. US becomes a joke.
These are my thoughts exactly. We'd undoubtedly be the laughing stalk of the world.
