    ...anyone else notice how many news outlets always seem to use the most unflattering picture of Trump?


    ...well, I believe in equal time;

    The Dem debates are absurd. They're more like pep rally events than actual debates.

    Amen, its kind of been pretty sad in all honesty when it comes to Prez elections, I honestly haven't seen a candidate who aligns 100% with my Own beliefs, since RFK. Tho' my beliefs have radically changed since the 68 Elections as well.......as has my Political Party of Choice....

    Still an Altruist, but a War Hawk too.....(I never thought I'd come to say; or think as much, a War Hawk)....

    Reminds me too much of High School or Uni- Student Body Elections, a pure popularity contest, at least with the Dems, tho' the GOP isn't as strong as it should be either, just my 2 cents.....and that can't buy a stick of Bubblegum....

    Trump went full imbecile last night. Just ridiculous shouting and all over the place attacks.

    ...^^^ yeah, kinda disgraceful...Kasich at least took the high ground and flat out said that if the GOP candidates didn't stop that sort of behavior they would end up handing the Dems the election on a silver platter.

    Completely agree. The constant back & forth mud slinging is getting very tiring.

    I feel like we're one step away from someone saying....."Oh yeah, well my dad can beat up your dad".

    Either Trump is trying to lose, or he's trying to figure out to what level of "full retard" he can go in the general election.

    Couple of thought on Trump-
    As for Kasich saying the constant attacks on each other (GOP) will hand the Presidency to the Dems, he seems to be overlooking a small detail- whoever the GOP Nominee will be,will have PLENTY of time for one on one ATTACKS on the Dem nominee with the GOP debates being past history. Time will tell whether or not Trump pays the price in the primaries for "off color" comments - my opinion, there's millions and millions of adult voters including Independents/Reagan Democrats who are well aware Trump is speaking from the heart and as a"regular guy" who aren't afraid or swayed by some good old salty language from a guy who in fact will pride himself in surrounding himself and demanding competent accountable people and exudes confidence in doing what he promises and proposes.

    Ronald Reagan used good old folksy talk in diminishing and belittling Jimmy Carter -

    As for Trump- don't be surprised if he resonates with millions of blue collar workers, "Reagan Democrats", Independents and "younger" unemployed voters including a fair amount of struggling "minority" workers/families who are, and have been convinced it will be business as usual WITHOUT Trump.

    Don't expect hard-line far right guys like Cruz and Rubio who are from from champions of blue collar lunch box guys, working stiffs and big labor in which Trump has had a career of working with.....in big cities and elsewhere.


    And if you really want to talk about nasty disrespectful, divisive Presidential comments, how about when Obama said on a couple of occasions: "the Republicans can sit at the back of the bus"....."we now have the keys".
    And he got relected - so much for "offending" preople"......he REACHED HIS constituency!

    A little known or publicized aspect of Trump was how he actually helped and benefitted NYC as it was emerging from the BAD YEARS of the 1970s when it was a filthy drug infested cesspool and he took chances with some of his business ventures when very few others would touch NYC......you may recall the famous NY Daily headlines "quoting" Prez Ford saying "Drop Dead" to NYC.

    Trump is touching a nerve and the struggling, disappointed, disenchanted Americans who are backing him couldn't care less about a couple of "profanities" because they are more convinced, confident and can read between the lines that he means BUSINESS....and this includes securing the borders, creating jobs and he js NOT going to run around the world kissing the asses of govts/nations who aren't exactly playing ball with us. (see Ronald Reagan)

    Time will tell if he ultimately gets rejected in the primaries but rest assured, he will throw the kitchen sink at Hillary (or Bernie) if he gets the nod.

    My personal opinion- Jeb, Cruz, and Rubio don't have a chance to win enough "crossover" votes to beat Hillary in the general election but like it or not, (imo) Trump has the "it" thing, charisma and the ability to use plain old English to reach the masses while simultaneously making his points and differentiating himself from the left wing Democrat nominee.

    He (Trump) blew their minds when he mentioned the incidents in France and San Bernadino- saying "France has some of the toughest gun laws, but if there were some bullets flying in the directing of the terrorists, it would've saved lives and been a different story".

    He also hit the nail right on the head when Merkel of Germany was named person of the year by Time, he was quoted as saying:
    "oh yeah, she's the one ruining Germany with her open arms policy of welcoming Islamic/Middle Eastern "refugees".....
    .....then we later heard about all the mass rapes and assaults on German women by hordes of "middle eastern/islamic" men as the cowardly German (and Swedish) press tried to suppress it and/or create excuses somehow blaming the women.

    No other nominee has their finger on the pulse of America AND the world better than Trump - jmho

    ^^^ Tote, I believe we both predicted Trump would eventually and gradually slip....but it's probably gonna get interesting some of the others drop out of the race and who they endorse and how their followers direct their support to another candidate.

    Trump is definitely losing it, man just needs to STFU, and deal with the REAL issues.
