Yep. I'd have about as much faith in President Trump as I would in President Kanye.Trump was for single payer healthcare in the past. Now he's just for something vague and "fabulous"... An adjective or two does not a policy position make.

Him speaking his mind is what would most definitely get us into a war.I hate to say it, but if it comes down to Hillary and Trump, I'm going Trump. For the most part, they have equal positions, if anything he is more liberal on many things, and he's an open door. He speaks his mind, doesn't want to go to war, and isn't backed by corporations.
However, I'm all in for Bernie.
If you think he has women's best interest in mind or has any respect for females, then you have not been paying attention. He also will not answer questions that threaten his petty, fragile ego.Seriously though. He's for women's rights, pro-choice, wants single payer healthcare, has said increase taxes on the rich and put the money into infrastructure, etc. Plus he doesn't obscure and avoid questions. He holds his morals, and that's it.
Who is going to attack us? As long as he doesn't piss ant like the rest of the candidates and want to attack people, we're better off.Him speaking his mind is what would most definitely get us into a war.
Best interest in mind? Undoubtedly not. Understands their rights? Absolutely.If you think he has women's best interest in mind or has any respect for females, then you have not been paying attention. He also will not answer questions that threaten his petty, fragile ego.
I think it would be equal, but not worse. He actually wants to spend money within the country vs. going to war. If the end result is equal (from a global political standpoint), than I would take the option that has us spending $4T on our infrastructure.Trump as President would be far more disastrous than Bush was.
We must be talking about different Trumps then. The Donald is a petty, classless blowhard that has absolutely no sense of decorum, self-restraint or tact. Did you miss the whole Megan Kelly fiasco ? I don't care for her or Fox News, but his behavior and treatment of her is alarmingly repugnant, especially for someone who wants to have the most powerful political office in the world.Who is going to attack us?

The whole "mexicans will kill your women and rape your babies" thing was pretty class act though.We must be talking about different Trumps then.

Trump does not come off as someone who is serious about actual governance and policy making. He just wants attention. He is nothing more than Sarah Palin with a penis and bad hair.
Send in the clowns.We're talking about the man who is clowning his way through a field of, well, clowns.
For Trump’s core followers (“demagoguettes”?), it matters little that he has demonstrated no consistency on the issues, as my Politico colleague Timothy Noah wrote last month. Trump’s core followers ignore the press corps’ attempt to alert them to his “eclectic, improvisational and often contradictory” policy preferences. Single-payer advocate a couple of campaign cycles ago, hater of Obamacare now. A hawk when giving speeches, he rarely endorses military intervention. He flip-flops on trade. Assuming that they notice, this doesn’t bother Trump supporters because they trust their man’s common sense and patriotism to do the right thing. If he promises to be uncompromising today, they will forgive him for compromising tomorrow because, you know, things change.
The standard American demagogue relies on anger and resentment to attract supporters. But Trump’s fury is too comic to stir the masses. He makes angry faces but he’s almost never really mad. Instead, to cultivate the disaffected he pins his banner to his standing as a political outsider, as a champ who can’t be beaten. Trump’s loose mouth—a liability attached to any another candidate—becomes an asset for him. “Finally! A candidate who speaks his mind without filters!” you can almost hear his supporters say, even if most of what he speaks is rubbish. The ambiguity of the Trump message—his promises to make America great again, to show the Chinese and the Russians and the Mexicans that we mean business—goes down like lite beer. “I play to people’s fantasies,” he wrote in 1987 Trump: The Art of the Deal. “A little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.”
Wow. That's actually really scary.
Adams' argument supports my long established assertion that the clown party thrives on the Big Lie.
Rational judgment has never been the case. Do you really think even a plurality of Obama supporters could articulate why Obama's policies differ from his competitors and why these differences would benefit them? Trump has just taken the "vote for the brand, not the policy" truism to its logical extreme.So voters are actually being manipulated by politicians into voting for them, in stead of basing their votes on rational judgement and deterministic reasoning?
Shocking...
Should DeezNuts make it through the primary, I really hope he chooses DatAss as a running mate. It would be nice to have a woman on the ticket.
It is ridiculous that govt backed loans that aren't dischargeable in bankruptcy are 6.8 and 7.9%. That said, one can refinance already in many cases. See SoFi, for instance.I dunno... dumb seems to be running rampant among all candidates.
"It is insane that people in this room are paying 8, 9, 10 percent interest rates on student debt when you can refinance your home for 2 or 3 percent,"
"It just makes sense, if you can refinance your mortgage or your car loan, you should be able to refinance your student loan too,"
I qualified for private student loads at around 3%. However the rules dictated that I could only take those loans out after maxing out the federal loans at 7%. So I took on monstrous amounts of debt and immediately paid off the dumb loans. However I am guessing that most students don't have the ability to do that.I dunno... dumb seems to be running rampant among all candidates.

Well it was Obama that screwed up Iraq. Bush Jr accomplished his mission*Wow, can't get any dumber than that (well maybe, he still endorses the Iraq War too):

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/08/27/okay-this-trump-thing-isn-t-funny-anymore.html?source=TDB&via=FB_PageIt has been more than two months since Donald Trump announced his candidacy for president, and slowly but surely the entertainment factor as been on the wane and the fear factor has been on the rise.
As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in thecrowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.
What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”
