Poll: Does anyone really take Trump's "presidental run" seriously?

[Saelune]

Well, the good news is, with people like him and Newt running, Obama is practically guarenteed to win. If he doesnt though, then I know that it really is the end of the world.
(As much as anyone may dislike Obama, I cant see how anyone likely to run so far can be seen as a superior choice to Obama.)

id ontk now, if that Romney or huckabee guy run, Obama could lose. they seem like sensible men.

Well...maybe. But thats because like you said, they SEEM like sensible men. Are total bigot asshats...but that usually gets the conservative vote.

If by some chance someone as idiotic as Donald Trump manages to become the president I might seriously consider moving to Canada.

 

[Sudenak]

He'll run, Palin'll run, it'll completely skew and ruin the republicans who will suffer from Bizarro-2004isms where everyone will laugh at them after all the hullabaloo about how easy it'd be to win it from the opposing party.

Trump's such a moron that he wouldn't even admit to blatantly lying just to try and get support (he lied about the birther thing claiming his investigators found some amazing information he planned to release; whoopsie daisy), and Palin's such a backwards idiot that the two will just spend hours slapping each other with fish until the whole Republican party smells like rotten cod.

maybe. I think they're probably the only sane ones left to run, and if i had to vote republican, i'd vote for them. They seem like good people, even for politicians.

Obama's not getting the vote again unless he rides this I caught Osama nonsense and people are being left iwth a bad taste of Democrats.

They're fucking huge right now, a lot of companies would come back to America and give us more jobs and produce better quality products if we gave them a better incentive to. Damn.

wasnt that the point of weakening a Union? its kinda hard to bring business here when you have cheap china. especially with the tariffs making prices what they are now. if we ran in a free market society, we'd be paying pennies for what you get from China.

.... Although, with the yuan (chinese dollar) weakened domestically cause of that idea of dumping in the foreign market, this is probbly the best chance, since China's gonna go on a huge price increase. Still, cant do much with the unions and their power.

That's not really good news, you know. That's like trying to find the least smelly cowpatty after a big rain.


On a more serious note, the next presidential election is the first one that I will be voting in. I think we need another economist in office or something, somebody who wants to get our economy back up and running instead of apologizing to every country like Obama has been. So far, I haven't done much research into politics, so before I declare even to myself who I'm going to vote for I'm going to get a bit of backstory on each candidate. Including Trump.

BTW, I heard him (Trump) say in an interview on TV something about taxing all those imports from China, trying to bring industry back here. Here's how you bring industry back here: Lower the fucking industry taxes. They're fucking huge right now, a lot of companies would come back to America and give us more jobs and produce better quality products if we gave them a better incentive to. Damn.

Also, any politician who gives details on how he's going to do what he promises and not just what he's going to do has my respect, whether I agree with him or not. So far all Obama has said, I believe moreso than Bush, is a bunch of empty words and promises with the phrases "I will..." and "...the American people..." sprinkled in there several times for good measure. He never, ever actually says anything of use or gives any real, outright information. Stop beating around the Bush (see what I did there?) and tell us something! And what happened to all that government transparency and all those jobs you promised, Obama? You know, all the ones that were supposed to be permanent?

Well, Im a human being, so I cant vote for a conservative who is going to make me into a second class citizen, or atleast try to. Im likely to have money issues either way, but with a democrate as president, Im more likely to be equally poor than being poor because Im a sinful abomination according to God. (Im part of the LGBT community, lets leave it at that)

Well, Romney is a conservative panderer who's main reason for his traditional conservative views is to be like the "cool kids" while Huckabee is a traditional gays are evil conservative, and I will never support bigots.

By law, in order to run for president of the United States, you must make all of your assets and finances public domain. I have serious doubts that Trump would want any of his actual finances known by the general public. For all his blustering about Obama's birth certificate, if he were to run, all his sordid monetary past would bite him in the ass. He would also have to release his current net worth, which I'm sure is a secret he wants to keep.
He will keep bullshitting until the last minute, and then throw his support behind whoever the Republican frontrunner happens to be, in an effort to boost their support.

 

[JMeganSnow]

All I see in Trump is another Herbert Hoover, which is the last thing we need right now.

 

[Shakaar9267]

The fact that 75.8% said no gives me hope for the future.
Seriously, so many people saying no literally gives me joy.

 

[BabyRaptor]

You need an option for Yes--As awesome comedic fodder.

 

[Space Spoons]

I don't think anyone even marginally invested in US politics is taking his presidential run seriously. It's painfully obvious how out of touch with the people the man is.

It's kind of sad. Every time he opens his mouth and embarrasses himself, it makes it a little harder for me to enjoy The Apprentice.

They seem like sensible men to people who've done no actual research on them. These people support destroying Medicare and Social Security. They support revoking a woman's right to choose what she does with her own body. They support denying civil rights to people based on how they were born thanks to their religious beliefs. They both support "enhanced interrogation." Huckabee has said that everyone should be forced at gunpoint to listen to Christian preaching. Romney has gone complete hypocrite on his healthcare plan. I could continue, but I've rambled enough.

Nobody with an ounce of respect for themselves or other people in this country would vote for either of them after learning about who they really are.

Dude, Donald Trump isn't even taking it seriously. It's just a publicity.

For a republican, thats sensible.

OK, see what you did there? That's called a back-handed compliment. It means you insult someone while making sound like a compliment. And you shouldn't do it.

the bolded part actually needs done.

The rest of that is just regular republican stuff, which is why I said IF I voted republican (i usually vote dem). but at least they would look stable doing it.

Let's clear something up: every single person on this planet is a sinful abomination according to God. Your choices make you no more a sinner than I am. That's what the Bible says, everyone's a sinner; conservatives do tend to twist the Bibles' words a whole lot, especially when it comes to the LGBT community.

Though, being a straight white Christian with a slightly southern accent probably does give me a better chance at making good friends with conservatives... Regardless of conservative, liberal, Democrat, Republican, what have you, most politicians don't really seem to be out to help the little guy. Not at all. I'm voting for the guy that will put the most money in my wallet.

Also, I don't consider myself as belonging to any of those parties. Neither liberal nor conservative.

That doesnt change the FACT that most any republican, who most likely will be a conservative WILL vote against every LGBT thing. Hell, they could say that the TV guide says gays are bad. Doesnt matter if its true or not, what matters is what they do and dont make legal. And by everyone is a sinner, I assume you are primarily reffering to origional sin? Dont get me started on how fucked up THAT whole thing is.

I'm not sure I even want to know, but...Why on the Goddess' green earth would you support abolishing the safety net? Neither of those are even welfare...Any tax payer pays into them their entire lives.
