If it ends up being Hillary v Trump, the US will be divided beyond repair.

I honestly think Trump supporters don't fully know the difference between reality TV and an election.

I don't think they realize their own reality vs. what they think they see of themselves. It takes a pretty screwed up perception vs. reality to even consider the Donald.

You guys don't realize what Obama has done to the perception of the presidency. It really makes no difference how delusional and unprepared the president is when elected, as long as they are more on your side as the other. Trump can absolutely win against Hillary or Bernie. I think Bernie has a better shot than Hillary, simply because she is a known remarkable liar. Trump and Bernie are at least perceived as truthful and genuine, whether they are or not.

This is a pretty solid point, whether or not the libtards like it. Obama's 2008 campaign promises were equally as Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) as trumps. His rough ridin' campaign slogan was hope and change, for gawdsake

Trump is polling really well with blacks and Hispanics, it's conceivable that after two successful Trump terms the Democrats could be the party of angry white men.

trump was absolutely correct when he said he could murder someone and it wouldn't hurt his polling numbers. he knows his base better than most do.

CNS · « **Reply #986 on:** January 25, 2016, 09:31:24 AM »

Honestly, if he shot an illegal, his numbers would probably go up.

I've fully relegated myself to the fact Donald is going to be president. This is scary and I blame Obama and, to a lesser extent, the current state of the two party system for a buffoon like Trump appearing like a credible candidate to the unwashed masses.

"He says what he means"

While many politicians master the art of communicating with the public early on -- what to say, what not to say, how not to say it and how to stay on message -- Trump seems to have chucked the politician's handbook.

But Trump, who announced his presidential bid without a prompter and without reading off a script, does not seem concerned with nuanced delivery. Some, like former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, have called his approach "a barking carnival act" and "a toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense," but others say it's refreshing.

"He says what he means. I honestly believe he's telling the truth," Susan DeLemus said, echoing a sentiment shared by all six supporters.

Trump himself, though, told CNN's Anderson Cooper in an interview Thursday that if he were to become president, he would change his tone.

When Camerota asked the group whether Trump's tone is presidential, Johnson said "Well, what's presidential anymore?"

"I mean we have a president sitting in the white house right now. He's taking so many vacations its costing the tax payers dollars," Johnson said. "What has he done for America?"

Trump, Johnson said, "will take us above that" and make "America the way we once were."

If that happens, Trump may actually shoot his voters.
