    I still think this is part Trump schtick. Keep up the controversy for 2 months and the Dems won't take too many shots at Trump because Hillary doesn't want to help the GOP field a better contender. Also this keeps media attention on Trump and sucks the air out of the room for Hillary.

    Plus you now see Trump making pivots aimed at attracting the Bernie crowd that shares the disdain for Clinton with the angry white men who back Trump.

    Oddly, the analysis of Trumps playbook is right out of Nixon 68/72, not Reagan.

    This explains the populist law & order and socially liberal positions. Ahsin this explains why he's willing to leave conservatives behind. Couple to this the modern issue of the immaculization of men to prop up women culture finally coming to its anti-PC flash point. I have to say reading pop culture expert analysis makes much more sense than political analysis.

    Recently on a Sunday show, Trump made a statement that basically said he knows he's direct and sometime controversial, but that if the audience heard what politicians say in private, believe him, he's mild in comparison.

    This is actually quite well nuanced, especially when drawing a contrast between Clinton and her trust issues.

    Still hate&distrust him. But loathe the lying bitch more.

    New Q-poll out has T v C neck in neck in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania swing states. That's the koolaid the GOP squishies need to don a pink "make America great again" hat.

    lol - I noticed on this board, lately we haven't been seeing the usual barrage of links indicating:
    Hillary would trounce Trump by double digits,
    Cruz would fair much better.....
    .....and last but not least, Kasich "beating her in numerous polls".....lmao.

    Incidently, while we're on the subject of "jokes"-
    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/elections/election_2016/trump_41_clinton_39

    I think you may have it backwards, the ones wearing the pink hats are the Never Trump crowd.
    Have any *knew schemes and ideas which the GOP could use to dump Trump?

    Trump Fans need but ask themselves on question only. Is Donald Duck Qualified....? No on all fronts-

    ______________
    I have two things to ask....my arm has been raised for awhile now.
    Could you please define "qualified" ?..... and who would you prefer?

    And I also say - that was your opinion, and only your opinion.
    I believe Hillary has a juicy resume' with "qualifications"......lmao

    This stuff is too funny!

    You can hang all the funny pictures and corresponding links as you please, be my guest....but like it or not- MY OPINION is---- you may be on the wrong side of current history making events.


    Take your time.....I'll wait.

    Hey, I just saw where Cruz is not ruling out a return to the campaign.
    Thank goodness- maybe Kasich will rejoin and then we'll have two grownups in the room.

    Cruz should really consider it- this would put a nice icing on the cake for him.
    He'll be the first candidate to restart his campaign after suspending it as well as being the first candidate to name a VP after getting obliterated in seven straight primaries and being hundreds and hundreds of delegates behind the leader.

    Terrific!

    I don't see much if any difference b/t Trumptards and Obamites....

    both vote for the most un-qualified candidate, and don't know what the word means, need clarification, definition, do your own fkng homework, ....

    then cry and lie about voting for the POS latter; when after 2 years of devastation to all facets of Politics and Govt., your candidate leaves the US in utter chaotic waste, .... why? .... because neither knows what the fk Politics mean.....never have, never will, even after serving as POTUS....

    Chump is Obama's Legacy, get over it already, .... and put the bib back on will ya'....

    These are only your opinions and nothing else. You asked for "qualifications".....I tossed Hillary, the leading Democrat candidate in yer face - she who has been a Senator and Sec of State....now answer a question which is being asked in plain english:
    Are THOSE the type of, or similiar to the QUALIFICATIONS you say Trump is lacking?

    Try to stop the insults and childish graffiti for a couple of moments and answer the question. You're not talking to children or co-workers you may have bamboozled.

    The only saving grace I can find in Trump is that his kids seem well grounded and represent competency in his organization. Now if he surrounds himself with quality experts I'll feel much better about our chances.

    Trump is a wild card at best. With Hillary we know we get Obama part3. Any 3rd party choice winning has slimmer odds than the Yanks winning #28 this year.
