Its one thing to have Trump play to your frustration the political class, I like it too, but Trump's role here ,is as a bulldozer so that the more enlightened can get on with the business of re-building.

Personal Best Regards:

Until very recently, I would have discounted Trump immediately. Now, I am more and more inclined to see how he might be what this country needs for the next four years or so. Why? Because we don't need a wishy-washy moderate, that is going to worry constantly about liberal PC. Sometimes, toes need to be stepped on in order to accomplish the ultimate goal. The more I listen to the other candidates, the more I hear them catering to the liberal voter and it stinks!. Trump is not going to kiss any a?? to get the job. If he doesn't get the job then it's no skin off his back. He doesn't need the money, and that makes him even more appealing.

You express yourself very logically and smartly, and I respect that. I agree with almost everything you have said on here. But, I am leaning more and more toward this crass man as my possible choice. I will listen to the debates, and I still have plenty of time to make my choice. But, maybe we need a hard core businessman that takes no prisoners, instead of some of these others that have too much liberal luggage that they seem to want to carry around with them.
I am not for legalizing the criminals that invade our country (illegal aliens).
I think we need to take a harder line on any allies that we deal with and subsidize, when we need their assistance quelling uprisings.
I want to see more hard core demanding from our government toward other countries, than cowering diplomacy.
Compromise is when both sides give and neither are totally satisfied. We haven't seen that in the past six years. I want to see a bunch of our congressional representatives go home crying.

At any rate, the elections are a long way off, so I will check all the candidates out real well, before committing.

I don't like Trump, but if none of the other candidates start showing some grit, I'll pass on them.

I thought this thread was about the downward spiral of Clinton?

The Donald dominates everything .... apparently including this thread

OK.
It will be interesting to see Trump handles not being in the lead as that is ultimately what will happen.
Maybe it has been all a scheme to be the catalyst that helps gets America off the couch and interested in fixing America. And of course he is also showing the other candidates what is missing from their portfolio that Americans want to see and hear.
We shall see.

He is NOT what this country needs at all.

I am a staunch conservative Republican, and I recall all the notes posted on here that had nothing to do with anything but criticizing our current President for how he bowed to some head of state. I may not like our President and may disagree with most of what he has done or tried to do, but cannot and did not take part in that kind of posts.

HOWEVER....

If President Obama gave you fodder for mockery because of things like what you mocked him, if Trump ever became President, the liberal faction on here would not be able to sleep with all the one line smart ass cracks that would come from his actions.

He cannot be the nominee.

There are such good,class intelligent folks seeking the nomination......he is a death knell...believe me.

Problem is, show business....read an article today and sorry would love to reference it, but it basically said that the questions, etc for tomorrow night are set for entertainment value surrounding Trump and made to have the candidates go after each other.

I do not like that. Too many right now. Last debate..no substantial issues discussed...appears not this time either.

We have seen what PC has done to politics today. Time to go extreme to right things. America does not have time for these candidates. They might make congressional politicians but they are not leaders. The only leaders, such as Huckabee, maybe Christie, Cruz, have no chance at all. Bush is NOT his father or his brother and is afraid to say something not PC. Carson is not ready and is too nice. Fiorina needs some experience dealing with politicians, and appears to be too defensive. Kasich was my favored one, but won't get it. He is too worn out, like an old pair of shoes. Paul is too radical for America right now.
Trump may be harsh and a bully, but maybe America needs four years of a wake up. I'm tired of the left always getting their way because everyone is afraid to say no to a "black" man. If we have a woman (Clinton) in there, it will be the same. Trump didn't make billions by being stupid. He may be a loud mouth, but he is shrewd. I really don't care if he insults people. I would prefer that he was a bit more refined in his speech but he does get results and he does snap folks out of their apathy.
Like I said before, I haven't made my decision yet. It's too early. But, right now, I don't see anyone else that offers what is necessary. Certainly not Bush, and certainly not Rubio. I do like Rubio, but his kid gloves attitude toward illegals is not going to get it. Same with Bush. I consider the illegal invasion one of the focal points, along with a balanced budget, getting rid of Obamacare, the war on Christians, and a few other left wing attacks on morals and ethics.
But, this is just my opinion and my reasoning in how my vote will be determined. I will not vote for a moderate this time. It's time to take a hard line approach. Trump may not even be hard line enough, in my opinion. Talk is one thing, but actions may prove different.

I feel exactly the same way as you do ... and it's pretty clear millions of Americans feel likewise
