What astounds me is that there are actually sad, pathetic individuals who think 'Trump' is an answer to a question.

He's a sexist self-serving prick with an IQ barely into double digits and if there were ever an aptitude test for being a President beyond merely being filthy rich and US-born he'd fail on ALL other counts.

Oooh...I do LURVE the Politics Forum....

...not.

There's absolutely no effort involved in demonstrating Trump is an arse unfit to hold any form of office, let alone that of Potus.

I wouldn't allow him to be 'lunch monitor' [if such a critter is even known in the US].

I lost the last of any potential respect for that creep when he described his daughter in terms of sex objectification.

Every day that slug is allowed to breathe is a blight on humanity.

Oh....did I mention he's also racist....in a country that [tries to] pride itself in its multiculturalism?

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

Just no Muslims or Mexicans, and preferably nothing that's not quite white.......

The very thought that such a sub-human could get his finger on 'the' button.

I'm sure he'll just say...."Hey look....I've just fucked you ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

If I were American [and thus could vote] I'd make a point of voting for anyone/anything OTHER THAN Trump.

Republican or Democrat...wouldn't matter who...as long as it wasn't Trump.

The fact Republicans are removing their endorsement of him is a fair indicator of his worth... but it does question 'what the hell were they thinking' endorsing him in the first place.  Surely the US political system isn't purely dependent on celebrity and/or money.

That's a particularly poor model.

I'd design a system around simple intelligence and competence with a sprinkling of reputation.

It's time to stop being mesmerized by whether his hair is real or not....chuck him in the trash and write off this election as a total cock-up.

As the Aussies would say..."Have another go, ya mug!" ...

I would never vote for Trump.  But anyone supporting Hillary has no room to criticize Trump (not suggesting anyone here is).

I doubt I'm representative (could be, I suppose), but I'm fed up with all career politicians.  There isn't a gnat's fart's difference between the two parties.  What some call the 'respectable' GOP are nothing but Democrats in elephant suits.  I lean conservative and was a life-long Republican until McCain was nominated for pres.  Pox on both their houses and the voters who enable them.  The best these parties could manage to offer up is hopelessly corrupt Hillary and hopelessly childish Donald?  Someone please just shoot me now.

Exactly what would be wrong with a one-man-one-vote election system where the 2 Parties propose candidates [plural] for Election and first one past the post wins?

They all spruik their proposals of what they claim they will do/stand for and it's put to one public vote.  Best 'man' wins.

In other words the Pres ends up being the most popular candidate....not the most conspired one.

Oh, good.  He chooses some old farts to sit on a bench and pretend to rule humanity...while he nukes the planet into the stone age just because he can.

Sadly who does or does not become the 'leader' of just one country can have dire ramifications on the entire planet...

...not because that 'should be the case'....but because that 'IS the case'.

Anyone alive during the Cuban missile crisis is shit-scared of ever again being at 11.59 and 30 seconds.

Look it up.

And what's this scuttle-butt about Putin 'preferring' Trump?

I was planning to die of old age...not by some other country's voting ineptitude.

Kind of restraint I'd be happy with is a straight jacket...

'Behind closed doors' he'd be given a puddle of drool to play with, and leave the running of the country to grown ups....

Still....no matter how bad reality gets there's always Tea Leoni and Keith Carradine to save us...

People are looking for someone to stand up for the
middle class in the US, take the heat and not blow
away in the wind.
The only politician that fits this description is Donald Trump.

I will proudly vote for Trump for a myriad of reasons, but this is certainly up there on the list. I really respect Trump for his ability to fight the storm of all he has faced in the election. I don't believe any of the sexual abuse accusers and think they were all paid for. They have thrown the kitchen sink at him and he just keeps going out at 3, or 4 rallies a day to present his case.  The choice is simple for Republicans on the fence... what am I more uncomfortable with? some crude language, or do I find partial birth abortion, corruption, and outright criminality to be worse?  I can't see how anyone even remotely conservative could sit on the sidelines and risk a Supreme Court molded in Clinton's image. It might not even really matter if the new emails harvested from online cockslapper Anthony Weiner's emails turn up damning evidence.

The time of choice is coming for us Americans and both candidates are lightning rods for different reasons. I line up more with Donald Trump and his beliefs more than I do with Clinton, period. I would actually find a Trump Presidency to be a relief as opposed to a Clinton presidency which would begin with impeachment hearings as soon as she takes the oath, provided the bible didn't burst into flames upon her resting her hands on it. And all this "misogyny crap is so ridiculous. I have said things with buddies behind closed doors that I don't think would have been greeted with a lot of praise if that private conversation was released to the world on the nightly news with our private jokes becoming public. And women are just as savage about men behind closed doors as well, and they know it. Nothing is off limits with them.. the size of our junk, the amount of money we make... we are truly lucky we don't know everything they say about us men! I respect your opinion of the election Jafo, and don't see any reason to see you any other way just because you think we should have a hardcore criminal in charge of our country.

Anthony....you are not intending to be in charge of/responsible for 150 million or so women...[not just the yobbo-mentality men].

I ain't no President wannabe...but as one of the people responsible for protecting/supporting Stardock's 6 million plus registered members I would be dismissed instantly for showing such immature and sexist attitudes towards the several million female members of Stardock's sites.

Of course, an US President doesn't need to be held to the same high standard of conduct obviously.

[BTW...the last is sarcasm]...

Tea Leoni for President! ...
