I think Trump is too radical* to win to be honest, I think the Republicans screwed up. Trump is insincere and just says what people want to hear to chase the populist vote, that's why he gets ambiguous when pressed on policies.

I'm not saying Hilary Clinton is a saint or anything, but compared to Trump, she comes across as a moderate. After 2 terms of Obama the Republicans should have a serious contender - because I don't think Trump is.

Honestly I'd prefer it if Romney was running against Clinton, because at least he is a capable businessman who still understood middle-america.

(waits for the

for having an opinion)

All I will say about Trump is his own campaign people choose to leave when it looked like he would get the nomination, as they didn't want to be part of helping him screw up the party.

Hmm.... can he be trusted to keep his word or is he really only in it for himself and is just paying everyone some lip service until he's sworn in.

Nonsense - nothing clearer than this answer...

Donald Trump answers the question: What is 2+2? (Credit: Steven Edwards)

"I have to say a lot of people have been asking this question. No, really. A lot of people come up to me and they ask me. They say, 'What's 2+2'? And I tell them look, we know what 2+2 is. We've had almost eight years of the worst kind of math you can imagine. Oh my God, I can't believe it. Addition and subtraction of the 1s the 2s and the 3s. It's terrible. It's just terrible. Look, if you want to know what 2+2 is, do you want to know what 2+2 is? I'll tell you. First of all the number 2, by the way, I love the number 2. It's probably my favorite number, no it is my favorite number. You know what, it's probably more like the number two but with a lot of zeros behind it. A lot. If I'm being honest, I mean, if I'm being honest. I like a lot of zeros. Except for Marco Rubio, now he's a zero that I don't like. Though, I probably shouldn't say that. He's a nice guy but he's like, '10101000101,' on and on, like that. He's like a computer! You know what I mean? He's like a computer. I don't know. I mean, you know. So, we have all these numbers, and we can add them and subtract them and add them. TIMES them even. Did you know that? We can times them OR divide them, they don't tell you that, and I'll tell you, no one is better at the order of operations than me. You wouldn't believe it. So, we're gonna be the best on 2+2, believe me."

He can't possibly keep all the things he has promised, The US president doesn't actually have that sort of power, he needs senate and congress support. which he won't have.
Hes just saying what he hopes will get him elected and hoping everyone will forget what he promised.
The fact hes got this far, is a sad reflection the US society and an clear indictment of all that's wrong in US politics. Frankly he's just an attention whore with daddy issues (like Katman.)

The fact hes got this far, is a sad reflection on the rest of the US politicians which most of the country are sick to the back teeth of and hence are willing to vote for a non traditional candidate just to be rid of the usual pricks and an clear indictment of all that's wrong in US politics. Frankly he's just an attention whore with daddy issues (like Katman.)

He will be getting my vote. Best of a bad bunch. If Hillary gets in (and I expect that will happen) she will be worse than that cunt Aunty Helen and who the fuck voted for her 3 times??? I still can't see how all you dimwits let her get in and stay in for so long. National must have been total shit in those sorry days.

Your first 2 statements can be applied to most if not all politicians from (insert any country name here).

Possibly, but I have never seen the hyperbole pushed to that extreme extent, A hint at things to come for subsequent us elections, Reality tv elections might now be the norm in all future US elections
Maybe Kayne West is actually going to be the first Sauvé Gansta president and Kim Kardasian will be your first porn star first lady.

I was thinking of something more like Survivor maybe?

We could send all the politicians to some island somewhere. Nauru perhaps.

Those 2 seem to be way more popular in NZ than here. Every time I open the Harold one or both of them are mentioned in the headlines.

Pretty sure the old Kardasians now have their own channel on sky. They only get mentioned in the papers as the ugly ones ass and his ego are now visible from space.

Regardless we don't really need Kayne and Kim K here, as we already have katman and akzle as the resident attention whore couple.
