Hate to break it to you, but the Nation of Islam is a racist hate group, and Louis Farrakhan endorsed Trump because he "is the only member who has stood in front of the Jewish community and said 'I don’t want your money'."
There are a few things Trump says that are obvious pandering, and it's very easy to notice if you don't have brain damage. First of all when he talks about the Bible and Christianity. It's obvious he's not religious. And you'll notice he tries as hard as he can not to pretend and lie, which is why he prefers saying "Under President Trump people will say Merry Christmas again" rather than some of the actually threatening things other Republicans might say.
Trump lies to make himself appear more religious with some regularity. He has called himself a "Sunday church person". He's said he collects Bibles and that "nobody reads the Bible more than me".
Trump is on the contrary very intelligent and extremely powerful at persuasion, as his poll numbers show. His speech is very much researched so as to be as persuasive as possible, by using very simple and strong words on purpose, repeating simple and short messages over and over, etc. We don't notice it because Trump has been practicing this for decades and decades and it has become natural for him. But if you watch old interviews when he's young he speaks like a well-educated person.
I think you're missing the point of the criticism. For an educated and intelligent man to speak like an elementary school bully lowers the level of discourse and demeans the nation that he's seeking to represent.
And you're simply wrong that Trump's speech is researched. He, famously, ad libs almost everything. But this is neither good nor bad in and of itself.
Also, a big part of Trump's philosophy of life (and one of the reasons for his business success) is his very optimistic thinking. It can be expressed by those rules: "Never apologize, never concede defeat or inferiority, never give up". Trump is the embodiment of all those "self-help" books that tell you how to become successful (or the ones he wrote): he convinces himself that he is absolutely great and special and can achieve anything he wants, and no obstacle or setback ever give him any doubt about his chances. That's why he brags so much.
You are basically running through a checklist of narcissism symptoms.
But he is not a narcissist because he has absolutely no fear of being ridiculous. That's why he comes to TV to get roasted without a problem, or reads Jimmy Kimmel's mock-chidren book to his own grand-daughter. Other example, his hair: everyone makes fun of it, the Donald doesn't give a ****, he keeps the same funny hairstyle and is proud of it.
Are you kidding me? Trump is incredibly insecure. Secure men do not feel the need to defend the size of their hands and their ***** on national television.
Can you stop? why do you think here on a website that gets, at best, 1/30th the traffic as reddit is right and everything from there should be disavowed? You got an answer for that? No, you don't.
yes I do. Its about quality not quantity. I have looked at that page. It is entirely biased, surely you realize this. Just because you have more people echoing the same lie does not turn that lie into a fact.
Also You are starting to sound like Trump, silencing opposing view points and what not.
While our debate forum gets less traffic you have greater variety of viewpoints so you can get a better picture of the issue.
It would appear from tonights results that the minority of voters that support Trump is larger than I thought it was. He is now trending at about 40% support among Republican voters. I thought that he would top out at 30-35% of republicans. It is looking increasingly likely that he will reach the 1237 delegates needed to secure the nomination.
I think that it would be in the GOP's best interest to back a third party candidate in that scenario, but I do not think it is likely. The GOP has not stressed long term planning lately.
Anecdotally, most registered republicans I know will switch lines to vote for a woman they generally have an extreme dislike for rather than voting for Trump in a general between the two.
I think that it would be in the GOP's best interest to back a third party candidate in that scenario, but I do not think it is likely. The GOP has not stressed long term planning lately.
They're making noises about it -- they definitely agree that it would be in their best interest. But it remains to be seen whether they'll get it organized.

I would vote for a third party GOP candidate over Trump or Hilary any day of the week provided its not Cruz.
Yes please!! 8 years without more taxes, and more race baiting, and 100s of thousands of pages of new laws, and a bunch of bossy know-it-alls getting into my personal business would be GREAT compared to the last few decades of nanny state shaming and bullying.
But 8 more years of continued support of failed doctrines would be a nightmare. If not a true reformer, I hope we get 8 years of gridlock. Often, less is more.
Don't get the wrong idea I'm not faulting Democrats for this when Republicans ultimately brought this on themselves and you'd think they'd learn their lesson by now after losing two general elections to Barack Obama with a third to Hillary Clinton. In the end it all comes down to voting for the lesser of two evils yet we always seem to elect the most polarizing candidates for high office.

Trump will not run third party. He'll go back to what he did before. He won't accept VP, so what makes you think he'd run independent? He's a DNC plant? Not happening.
Trump threatened once again to run as an independent just last month. Is he the sort of man to make empty threats? (Yes.)

Well, that's mildly amusing if true. Apparently Trump voters skipped voting for Trump delegate candidates with foreign-sounding names in Illinois, to the point where it cost him two delegates.
Perhaps they'll be the two delegates that cost him the candidacy.
Well as it obviously can not be racism or bigotry that cost Nabi Fakroddin and Raja Sadiq 1000s of votes compared to what other Trump delegates were getting in those districts, we will just have to do some more digging to get to the bottom of it.
2. Yeah, just about every politician "wants to go to Iraq" by that metric. But Trump doesn't want to go there simply to take the oil which was your original assertion.
Your original assertion was that Romney would have gotten us into a quagmire in the Middle East and Trump won't. Now you're saying that Trump does, indeed, want to launch an invasion in the Middle East.
I said Mitt Romney would get us in a QUAGMIRE in the middle east. And he absolutely would. Mitt Romney supports arming the "moderate rebels". As anyone should know by now these "moderate rebels" have repeatedly joined "radical terrorists groups" Oh My. Yes. Instead of horsing around and giving radical terrorists "moderate rebels" weapons and training in order to overthrow Assad, we need to focus on ISIS. Wasting time with pointless nonsense is why we spent nearly a decade in IRAQ with nothing to show for it. Yes, there's a difference between a quagmire in the middle east and fighting in the middle east. Yes, Trump wants to fight ISIS and he wants to work with Russia to make it easier.
The story about those hispanics pulling a gun on a Trump supporter is especially ugly and goes to show why we need Trump.
This story about those guys in Boston putting a homeless man in the hospital is especially ugly and goes to show why we need Trump gone.
But you don't draw attention to this one. Why is that?
I believe in PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Is Donald Trump personally responsible for beating up a homeless man and putting him in the hospital? No he is not. You might as well blame Magic: The Gathering for the next mass shooting while you're at it. Were those three hispanics personally responsible for tearing apart a man's Trump sign and then one of them pulled a gun on the man? Yes they are responsible for that.
Are you done with these false equivalencies in an effort to deflect from the issue?
Because 8/10 people in this thread view him as Hitler or Satan and think everything going on at his rallies was brouhgt upon by him saying what he did in the past. There's no reasoning with them on this issue. Trump incites violence by trying to be a comedian at his rallies, and because of that he is the reason cops got assaulted, ambulances got prevented from leaving, and people got assaulted. Not Black Lives Matter, Not Moveon.org and NOT Bernie Sanders.
It's a joke. I'm glad others can see how ridiculous this all is. Idk if it's white guilt, liberal bias, conservative bias, or what. But, to take the actions the other night by thousands of people and blame it on Trump saying a few things out of jest. just insanely depressing. This is exactly what we are fighting against going for Trump. That little douche who tried and assaulted him in Dayton the other day got out two hrs afterwards on bail, and is now facing a felony. To say "his right to protest was violated" makes me physically ill.
EDIT: OH BOY IF POLITIFACT SAID ITS TRUE IT SURE MUST BE. God status on sources who are never wrong at all ever. -_-

That outbreak in Chicago was the usual Alinksy tactics carried out by Soros goons. The media was all too willing to put the blame on Trump supporters. Because evidently we are back to the idea that right wing political ideas should be criminalised for incitement.

Democrats have a 'movement' president who was swept into office almost entirely upon his charisma and the excitement he generated (and still does) in his base.
Democrats hope to replicate this again in 2016.
Democrats have an abysmal candidate in HRC but they couldn't dislodge her and her hangers-on from the top levels within DNC so she is their nominee.
Democrats don't see anything remotely resembling the 2008 campaign, excitement wise. Unfortunately, they learned in 2010, 2012, and 2014, it turns out that the only person Obama can help get re-elected is....Obama. If his name isn't on the top of the ticket, forget about it basically.
Democrats suddenly realize they have a pretty big problem. How do you replicate that excitement? How do you turn 2016 into another MOVEMENT election?
Enter 'HITLER '. Enter "2016 is a campaign to save America from 'HITLER' ".
It better work because I really do think it's all they've got. (FBI still might indict though.) And no, Sanders isn't going to save anyone either--I think he's probably done now.
I do not support Trump and have no plans to vote for the man but he is not 'HITLER '. That IS fear mongering nonsense, created by a desperate party, designed by a for four-year-olds and rank-and-file liberals. "If we can't get you super-frothy about Clinton, ok, we'll get you super frothy for Stop 'HITLER '"
You are all fully entitled to maintain your hyperbolic opinions of the man, of course, but you ought to know you are being manipulated and being led around by the nose here.
I am very dismayed at what I'm seeing this year. I really do think 'Dumpster Fire' is the best descriptor I've seen. Can any of you even imagine what future presidential contests will look like now? Oof.
Kasich winning Ohio is good for him, I suppose, but not really that relevant. He should be expected to carry his own state, or he would have turned tail right after Rubio. Aside from Michigan, he has had almost no showings anywhere else, and finished behind Rubio in several of his states. VP is his best bet, if he can't broker the convention.
So, what is Trump going to do? What plans does he have that makes him better than Clinton? Frankly, most of his policies line up with the establishment, including his social policies. Even his supporters don't refer to him as a democrat, as some of them do to Kasich.

Who is better is up for the voter to decide. I would say the biggest differences are the stances on illegal immigration, globalization, corporate inversion, and the 2nd amendment.

The man is a demagogue plain and simple no fear mongering involved. It does not take a liberal to see that, it takes someone with a brain in their head.

Look I'm not a personal fan of the comparison but there are shared characteristics. Scapegoating minorities and promising a return to greatness are the obvious ones. I do not think that he has any genocidal intentions and neither should anyone who can think critically but to deny that they have some political agenda pieces in common is intellectually dishonest.
Who is better is up for the voter to decide. I would say the biggest differences are the stances on illegal immigration, globalization, corporate inversion, and the 2nd amendment.
From the little research I have done, Clinton and Trump both support a path to legalization of illegals, although Clinton goes further obviously. Clinton is also anti-corporate inversion as much as Trump claims to be (and frankly, nothing Trump does makes me think if he thinking of the greater good. Just the vibe I get). Every other topic, Trump feels like he represent the Republican party standards to the t. I don't really see Trump being the answer to "make America great again". It's just Democrat versus Republican, with the exception that the Republican party not caring for their candidate.
No, of course not. Hitler absolutely was a demagogue.
But, unlike Trump, he was ALSO a man who decided to conquer his neighbors (and eventually ALL of them), believed he was leader of a race of super-men, thought Jews should be exterminated from the face of the earth and then actually put into place a statewide apparatus to ruthlessly and systematically achieve these goals. And then ACTUALLY DID all these terrible things.
Are all demagogue's automatically Hitler now? Shall we label every single one of them this way? No, of course not. Our current president is a bit of one himself tbh.
I mucho agree with the following article by The Washington Post:
Stop blaming Trump supporters for campaign violence
March 15, 2016
The fact is, if the protesters were holding peaceful protests outside his venues, there would be no violence.
What we are witnessing is the latest example of the American left’s totalitarian instinct to shut down speech that it finds abhorrent. Trump is not the only speaker to be driven off a college campus in recent years. In 2013, student protesters forced Ben Carson to cancel his planned commencement speech at Johns Hopkins University. In 2014, student activists forced Brandeis University to cancel a commencement-day speech by author and activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali. Also in 2014, protesters forced former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice to cancel her commencement speech at Rutgers University, declaring that “war criminals shouldn’t be honored” by the school.
What do these speakers all have in common? They are a) black and b) conservative. If the Trump protests were about race, then why are left-wing activists equally insistent on stopping black speakers with views they don’t like? Rice didn’t call for a Muslim ban, but she is just as unacceptable to the radical left as Trump.
