Discussion: US 2016 Elections

[amishrob]

having only watched cnn (when tv was on in hotel) for the past week, i get the impression it's trump or nowt. at least thats what the non stop coverage of him seems to suggest. i thought cnn were centre/left leaning but maybe they are just sensationalist.

edit: to be clear i am english and went to canada for a week.

Anybody catch his CNN interview? He's gonna deal with ISIS and steal their oil for America, then pay lots of money to the families of soldiers that die in his quick and effective quelling of extremism!

[Narcoleptic Insomniac]

He's a visionary in military strategy and diplomacy.

[amishrob]

he's nuts and just picks fights with anyone. i hope its the celebrity factor that's meaning he can pull in the massive crowds and not that people believe he will actually be a good president.

I've had some stupid fucking talks with my neighbor and his friends about him. They're 100% behind this fuck.

Haterzzz. Seriously it doesn't matter who gets elected really but I just like that Trump seems to have some backbone. Trump is a don.

[Prodigal Son]

While I think the electoral college nullifies a popular vote, there are some aspects a representative takes on.

I think Trump vs. Sanders would be awesome. Having no multi-million dollar backed career politicians fighting for big money would be great. Sanders doesn't want or like big money, Trump is big money and doesn't give a fuck.

I'd also like it if it was Sanders (democrat), anyone (republican) and Trump (independent). Trump would take away so many republican votes.

this is like saying "i wish i could vote for the koch brothers". trump is the billionaire backing the politicians. why would you want him to be in charge?

He's got a backbone because he's up there spouting out crap that is in his own best interest so of course he's going to say it with more conviction than a political puppet. He also is in a win win situation, because even if he doesn't become candidate, he's got the publicity. He could say literally anything.

[Prodigal Son]

Duke isn't going to have that same turned up to 11 backbone if he gets through primaries.

[condrbkr]

I am so hoping he will. I just don't see why anyone thinks he's any worse than any other candidate excluding Sanders.

i think the biggest factor is we know all about trump and his previous activities, it's not often you get a 'celebrity' candidate. he is also openly a terrible person and someone who would be a terrible president, so there's that.

[condrbkr]

I wish there would come a Democrat whose not a complete pussy but a scary democrat is gonna seem too commie for middle America. Oh well… I still like Trump… he's got pazazz.

[paranoidmexican]

None of the candidates appeal to me. I'll vote for DEEZ NUTZ
