That this tough-guy, get-mad-and-get-even approach has gained him an increasingly large and enthusiastic following has probably surprised Trump as much as anyone else. Trump himself is simply and quite literally an egomaniac. But the phenomenon he has created and now leads has become something larger than him, and something far more dangerous.

The guy is absolutely hilarious and scary at the same time. In my mind Trump is more than egomaniac he's the school yard bully who never got his ass kicked because he always ran or had security to protect him. There's nothing worse than a shit talker like Trump who couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag. He deserves to lose to HIlary and I genuinely don't like Hilary.

Yet he claims to be the candidate of law and order.Many probably agree with you. She is the lesser of two evils. I think a lot will vote for her just to keep him from getting elected! She is more of a middle of the road Democrat, as well as Kaine. I wanted Bernie Sanders, who is more to the left. I think he would have gotten a lot more done.

The reason being is that Trump would most certainly win if Bernie who is an avowed Socialist were to run. America isn't quite ready for that language of being a Socilaist even though that's all we do around the world and especially as it pertains to Israel. I think the Majority of undecideds would most certainly break Trump with Bernie in the race. HIlary is a safe pick for our economy and financial markets, whereas Trump would send the markets plunging into total chaos like Bush did towards the end.
In terms of Bernie I don't think he would have gotten the things he wanted done because it was too ambitious and more pie-in -sky than reality even though I agreed with him on his platform. I took the safe pick for helping keep this country moving on the right track. There's no need to take this country back to anything unless we're taking it back to the economic boom of the Clinton years.
People voting Trump are the most misguided souls and it's very sad to watch. For the most part they're angry, lack decorum, boisterous, violent, rude, uncivil, uneducated, and act like they have no home training or decency about themselves and yet are likely the same group to espouse some deep religious conviction. It is totally baffling on so many levels.
Can't wait until I start really vetting Donald Trump. Most here won't appreciate it but it's coming and it's needed. I will present things most of you had no idea about the guy. He's not a conservative or republican. He's pulled of a masterful con job of the people supporting him. It's just astounding. The only smart people in the room that see's him for who he really is Ted Cruz, John Kaisch, and the Bush family.

Written by a liberal to sway anyone who is a conservative to disregard Trump. For the last eight years under Obama I feel this country could explode at any minute. He doesn't get along with congress, he's a chronic liar, and a big egomaniac himself. Plus Obama never stated he would make this country great again or make this country great at all. He said he would fundamentally transform America. What the fuck is that suppose to mean? I think I know. A racially divided broke ass socialist country. Everything you jackasses are worried about with Trump, has happened in many ways already with Obama.

we definitely bit off a big one with Obama, who knows what will happen with trump, but trump has hit on the angst that is in America given the dour, lackadaisical, ideologicalness despite contrary evidence that is Obama.
we know what Hillary is, a lying, self serving, evil, soulless witch but her unworthiness goes beyond all those things. its seen in her record of repeated failures and naïve appeasements and terrible choices
in comparison, its time to take a chance on trump, especially with the supreme court in the cross hairs
there is no Reagan in the race, we have to deal with what we have
the thing in trump's favor is he has enough pride to at least be interested in being a successful president. Hillary is interested in scoring the historical mark of being the first woman president and increasing her own purse. America is headed down a dark destructive path, it has to be turned around

Good Grief! This isn't Germany in the 1930's!
And there's not much difference between socialism and fascism.
A socialist comes into your house, takes all your money and leaves.
A fascist comes into your house, takes all your money then hits you over the head and leaves.
Oh and talk about being the one who spreads fear?
Beam me up Scotty.

Sixty-six percent say corporate America ‘embodies everything that is wrong with America,’ compared with 34 percent who say corporate America embodies what's right with America. A plurality of 28 percent say the most pressing issue facing the country is income inequality—one of [Senator Bernie] Sanders’ top themes.”

Trump has painted a very dark and violent view of America in his speeches.
Standing before a crowd of thousands in the convention hall and millions of television viewers, Mr Trump described the United States as a blood-drenched lawless place driven with violence, that only he could save.

The reason Hillary will win the election is because she is much more qualified and level headed. Hillary may not be the most honest or forthright, but she does have the experience that Trump lacks. Also, she has her husband, Bill Clinton, for support. I think Tim Kaine is an excellent choice for Vice President. He is the former Governor of Virginia and under his watch, the economy in Virginia did very well, even during the recession.

Odumbo and hildebeest are talking out both sides of their faces, Silly Suzy Simpleton. They cannot hypocritically claim that all is well with this country while pushing for the destruction of the Second Amendment and confiscation of weapons from law abiding citizens because there is too much violence -- so they say, Silly Suzy Simpleton.
Bernie Sanders is a democratic socialist, which is a tad less than a true socialist.
