Look at all this fear mongering over Trump. The fact that D.C. is panicking about Trump as president brings me great pleasure.

It isn't just D.C., its the rest of the sane people of this country.

Terrorists and abusers derive pleasure from doing things that they know brings pain to others. Money says you voted for Bush W. Money also says you probably don't see that as having been a mistake. Well when you have a population of people that stupid, it hurts the rest of the country. Unfortunately based on the fact that Trump has gotten this far shows that you aren't alone.

We don't need another village idiot in the White House. We are going to be paying for the wars that Bush started for the remainder of our lives. For the sake of the next generation, I don't want a guy in charge of the free world who can't deduce why we shouldn't just "use nukes."

Democrats must honestly be terrified of the man because they sure are throwing everything they can think of at Trump hoping it sticks. Russian puppet, mental illness, looking to start WW3, it's like every campaign strategy used since Goldwater is being employed all at once. I'm sure in the next few days we'll see reports that Trump hates puppies and eats his hot dogs with ketchup.

Wake me up when we start launching multiple bogus Congressional investigations into his business and personal life you fucking muppet.

Can someone explain to me exactly why Hillary would be anything less than competent in office? Cut the BS and name calling and libel. Just a nuts and bolts explanation of why she'd be worse than any of the other 40 something people we've elected to office. I really just have a lot of trouble seeing where the public ire comes from.

Crosspost from another thread that sums up my feelings:

We have one candidate that's a corrupt plutocrat who likely wants to disarm me and one candidate that's a crooked, emotionally thin skinned man-child who's making noise about tossing around nukes for fuck's sake. I'd say the latter is a greater threat to my security and the security of the nation and world in general. I'm seriously considering buying some land in the middle of nowhere and building a fallout shelter if he gets elected. I mean, what the fuck is he thinking (probably more like not thinking, I guess).

Panicking? Looking, pointing an laughing maybe, but no-one is panicking. If anything people are looking at the republicans and are wondering what on Earth they are thinking. By putting him up as the nominee, you guaranteed to lose the white house in 2016... You may even lose the house and senate majorities because of it too, thus causing a pretty major shift to the left... Which isnt a good thing. You are blowing it for your side. NICE JOB! /clap clap clap.

But we already have a photographic evidence that he eats his fried chicken with a knife and fork.

5 pages of boisterous hysterics and not one single, credible source mentioned what-so-ever.

Seems to me almost every single criticism of Trump has absolutely no proof, source or basis in reality.

Things along these lines have been blasted all over the front pages of Reuters, US News and World Report, the BBC, and just about everywhere.

I take it you do not read the news or follow P&N here in general a lot of you think that is true.

I'm not Trump guy but I have to agree this all comes from Joe Scarborough saying he knows a guy, who knows a guy who was either there or had a guy there that said this.

The "unpredictable" thing is the same strategy Nixon used and it seemed to work alright for him. Of course, Nixon was a smart and politically savvy guy and Trump isn't, so I won't say I would necessarily trust Trump's words, I'm just saying that the words he's using aren't words no other president has used.

Madman theory? Well the main difference is that Nixon's 'madness' was directed at the enemies of the US*, while Trump's would be aimed at his own balls (and ours if pres).

* from what little I remember atm, with some quick searching too.

The real question is why do we have nuclear weapons if they are off the table? If Iraq had had nuclear ICBM's perhaps we would not have attacked them.
