I would be so pumped about Trump(TM) if I was a hard core Pub.

Someone needs to Spreadshirt Pumped about Trump, or Pumped for Trump, or something like that.

Are there hardcore pubs on this thread? I'd be interested to know their opinion of Trump.

Most likely at this point Trumpster could walk on stage, rip a nuclear blast fart, walk off stage, and be declared the winner.

Would love a Trump/Walker presidency where Walker has active roll in scheming crap up and the Donald goes to the bully pulpit and just Executes the hell out of the plan like the Boss that he is.

I think trump might fear walker, or at least concerned about him. My fear with walker is he seems to be infected with Brownbackitis.

No. This is a break from the normal Reno.

At first I thought the whole "Trump is running for pres" thing was funny. Now I just see it as it is, a giant crap show that our political system has become.

It is sad as hell, but probably necessary that Trump is doing what he is. Necessary, not in the way that he will right our ship, but in that he could possibly show the country how absolutely low the political system has sunk if he is a legitimate lead. I mean, if a guy like Trump can't do that, we are all in big trouble.

Its not gonna live up to the hype. The Philosopher King (Trump) will say one absurd thing. They will infer BA-ROCK is a muslim, taxes will be called a threat to civilization, the Iran deal will be called a surrender, and the government will need to be shut down to defund planned parenthood. Its rather easy to predict.

Yard Dog · « **Reply #440 on:** August 06, 2015, 03:35:49 PM »

It would be intriguing if the debate tonight actually had a direct effect on the polls. I have a feeling it might not.

CNS · « **Reply #441 on:** August 06, 2015, 03:52:56 PM »

I would venture to guess that there will be zero effect gained. I mean, if you already like one of the candidates, you are probably crazy. If you aren't crazy you probably won't find a candidate you like this year. No effect.

You just basically summed up why the Tea Party is backing Trump. The point is that we don't need a politician to run the government and a businessman is what can help right the ship.

Most importantly though for the longevity and integrity of our political system, is the absolute need for term limits to be implemented on political offices.

People that think we need a ceo instead of a president are almost always huge idiots

CNS · « **Reply #444 on:** August 06, 2015, 04:25:18 PM »

Yeah, CEO's aren't used to negotiating their ways to policy through hundreds of congressmen and senators. They are used to being the absolute voice. That isn't how govt works.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #445 on:** August 06, 2015, 04:28:43 PM »

Also the government isn't and shouldn't be profit driven. Business people are the last people that should be president

I'm not certain people have a strong grasp on who the majority of right wing voters are
