Fiorina: ‘It’s Not Your Face, It’s Your Policy’teeth_smile

I  have to admit Trump was growing on me but when someone with the intellectual heft and gravitas of the renowned Joy Behar I have to think twice. Maybe The View can bring back Rosie O Donnell so the 2 of them can have an in depth discussion of how 9/11 was an inside job.

I still don't think he will win, but his candidacy has much more legitimacy today than it did just 3 months ago, that's for sure.  

I wouldn't vote for him in the primary, but I proly would in the GE, pending the Dem candidate.

I think I speak for many people when I say, "He can't be worse that what we've got"

Basically his message is "I am a proven liar and cheater just like every other billionaire or politician, but let me be YOUR liar and cheater on behalf of the USA and not the rest of the world"  

I think a lot of Americans are sick of having an apologist as POTUS, someone who doesn't believe America is "special" Trump, with all his faults is 100% in favor of doing whatever he can to advance American interests, and I think that is part of what is resonating with voters.

If Trump were to sit across the table with Putin for example, Putin is going to be thinking to himself, "just how far is this crazy American willing to go?" With Obama, everyone knows he isn't going to do jack shit. That's why Jeb Bush is dropping like a stone in the polls, he looks like a complete pussy next to Trump and rightly or wrongly Americans want a leader with strength not another Neville Chamberlain.

I can't believe I am saying this, as this is a complete 180 from what I was saying just a few weeks ago, but I can honestly see Trump winning. I just hope that POTUS Trump is more realistic about a few things than "candidate" Trump because yes he does speak in hyperboles, and for example EVERYONE knows we aren't going to actually deport every illegal in this country, any more than Obama was going to shut down Gitmo his first day in office.

We are tired of being told we have to suck Syria's, the Mullahs, the Taliban's and ISIS's cocks.

Tired of hearing about the "new normal" with jobs and having China eat our lunch.

Tired of every week hearing some scum bag who crossed the boarder and killed someone and being told there is nothing we can do about it.

It is funny seeing Jeb and Hills rush to their handlers and poll testers to determine how they should talk, act, when to get angry, when to be warmer and fuzzier, whatever.

Funny thing about Trump is that everyone, including myself, felt like he was a fraud while he is exposing the establishment on both sides of the aisle for being fakes, phonies and liars.

He may still be a fraud, but at least he has a swagger and optimism about America's future that is compelling at times.  

With us getting our ass beat on a weekly or monthly basis somewhere on the globe or at home, he really is a breath of fresh air

Americans used to have a swagger, we thought of ourselves as the biggest, baddest, richest people on the planet, and we were. Now that swagger is gone and our fearless, feckless leader kowtows to the Mullahs, Putin, and every other two bit leader of insignificant countries.

Trump might be a fraud, he very well may be nothing more than a huckster, but he brings back that swagger' call it "American exceptionalism" that has been sorely lacking for the last decade or so.

There is still a LOT that I don't like about him, but more and more I can see myself voting for him.

One trick pony doesn't begin to describe your feeble attempts at posting thought-provoking comments.

So more than ninety percent of them are white.
Then they cheer wildly when he talks about sending the illegals back to Mexico.
Also building the biggest wall to keep them out.
Just read paragraph nine in the link below and it's not just me saying it.

I guess that is not playing the race card right? Lol

And I can't wait till tonights debate, Trump vs. Fiorina...It'll make for good TV. I'm like you, I don't think he'll win. But he's struck a nerve...he has my attention....for now.

I am at least open to voting for him. I need to hear more from him, a lot more, but he is intriguing.

And you are right. The TV isn't just good, its SPECTACULAR! lol

Two nights ago, he is speaking in Dallas in front of 20,000 and last night he was speaking on a battleship and tonite he is center stage at the Reagan Library.    

He is just dominating the media like no one could have ever foreseen. CNN cant stop touching itself long enough to show anything else. lol

At 8 pm last night, they didn't dare break into his speech to start Anderson Coopers show. If nothing else, Trump certainly is a phenomenon.

So this guy knows how to lose a Presidential election with all the money in the world.
Jack he is not the only one in the GOP party saying this either.

...rose to the level of her incompetence at HP.  Then she lost the election for senator to Barbara Boxer by ten points.  Now she wants to fail upwards by becoming President.

The board members that ousted her ended up resigning themselves. This guy makes a different case than the commonly accepted hype, plus he was in the room at the time.

Anyone  that offers any endorsement loses their credibility?

Did he join the crowd forcing her out of HP 10 years ago just so he could one day demonstrate a degree of credibility to people like me because he knew he was going endorse her for President years later?

So I will let someone who knows real election numbers explain it.

Also I should not laugh at the GOP.

Since all they know how to do is lose Presidential elections.

If they win by stealing them then we have the Iraq war and more debt.

The GOP now want Donald dump who loves to praise himself first and is a draft dodger.
This country has changed since the 80's or 90's boys.
So the GOP can get every white vote and still lose the election.

If Donald Dump keeps pissing off people it won't even be close on election night.

I give him one thing he knows how to brainwash a lot of people with his bullshit.

Thanks for the laughs and I can't wait for the general election next year.

sounds like you simply aren't capable of serious thought.  

Well actually you don't seem capable of much of any kind of thought. It really says something when BPS bashes a fellow lefty, but you haven't given him much choice, any more than I could support the likes of Nuguy or Fatvern despite often being on the same side of many issues with them.  

I bet you many libs feel the same way when you chime in on a debate as I used to feel when nuguy would agree with me. The first thought that would come to mind was "PLEASE don't do me any favors" and my second thought would be "If this idiot agrees with me, maybe my opinion isn't so solid after all"

I never ever laugh at farts. I just don't find them funny

Even if I did. I wouldn't laugh. I really would try very hard not to laugh and even think about something else. I don't like following the crowd.
but then when i find something funny and laugh at it. others might not find it funny. oh well too late I'm already laughing and can't take it back.
