Trump never really wanted to be POTUS.

But he’ll say he did the country a service by running, and he might be right.

God I have been waiting so long to tell all of my friends an colleagues how stupid they are for thinking he was a real candidate. I’m glad I kept my mouth shut though a few days ago I was afraid that I was the stupid one.

Of course he’ll say that he did the country a service haha, and I agree he might be right!

I’ll admit I’ve googled moving to Canada in the event that Trump became president. A truly scary thought having that man in the commander’s seat.

Would you want a doctor who has never used a stethoscope? How about a cop who never went through firearms training? Then why would anyone want a president who has never been involved in politics? He probably can’t even answer how a bill becomes a law

I've always thought his presidential bid was for publicity. Maybe he wants a Kardashian style reality show.

Sanders, for all his faults, represents the current ‘best’ option to try and wrest power away from Corporate America and back into the hands of the people. But, we are sadly too scared and polarized to actually elect him.

When the banks are publicly discussing how scary the possibility of him being elected POTUS is, then that is exactly what we should do. They don’t make much noise about Clinton, which speaks volumes.

And everyone on the “Right” side of the coin wants to turn the country into a theocracy; where God, Greed, and Guns are the rule of the land, not necessarily in that order. (And I am not making any judgment about gun ownership.)

So, yup. We’re boned.

With this and the Clinton email scandal that’s rising out of the water again, it’ll be Cruz vs Sanders, and Sanders will win.

No one in his inner circle could possibly have told him that skipping the debate was a good idea, unless nobody in Trump’s circle says anything but “Yes.” Trump would have been an amusing alternative, but he’s blown it.

I hope that doesn’t make me stupid. I looked at Trump and thought, Well, at least he’ll be something different . And then he flushed it down the toilet. So I guess you’re right, though I take mild exception to the “how stupid my friends are” part.

Me? I’m disappointed. Not that I ever liked the guy, but he would have been liberal Kryptonite.

Sounds reasonable. I really detest Hillary Clinton. But the thought of Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio picking the next to SCOTUS justices is kind of off-putting.

This isn’t a statement for or against any particular candidate or party, just a general question. But, why do people in other states give a shit about what Iowa thinks? They picked Bush over Reagan in 1980, Dole over Bush in 1988, Gephardt over Dukakis in 1988, Harkin over Clinton in 1992, Huckabee over McCain in 2008, and Santorum over Romney in 2012. They don’t have that great a history of predicting the national winner for either main party, in some cases, they don’t even pick the guy that comes in #2.

Just seems odd that voters elsewhere would alter what I assume to be deeply held personal beliefs based on what some people in another state think.

I mean, no weirder than basing your vote on the opinions of the editorial staff of your local newspaper, but still weird.

Not quite. You should be put in the most powerful political position if you have zero political experience. That is true for everything. Should not be in charge of an auto company if you don’t even know how suck, squeeze, bang, blow works

Good question. It probably doesn’t matter a whole lot where the first primary was. A group of citizens voting with their feet, literally. It happens to be a group of overwhelmingly White, Christian, straight citizens...

I’m disappointed that Trump didn’t do better because I am not much in favor of establishment anybody right now.

And the next president is going to pick at least two SCOTUS justices... Do we need another Scalia or Alito or Thomas?
