2016 Election

[MG1968]

I think you're one of the smartest and generally most logical posters on this board. And if you've flipped, I can't see why the remainder of us couldn't take a second look.

I still have no intention of casting a vote for Trump either in the primary or the general election.

But that's what you want from your leaders! To do the right thing at the time for the people. That's 100% a compromise

Really worked well with ACA.

The problem with Trump is he offers very little substance, so nobody really knows where he stands.

If one relies on his record, it certainly doesn't match his campaign platform. I find that troubling.

People are buying into his cult of personality.

If Trump is elected, I'm sure he'll take full advantage of the precedent of expanded executive authority set by Obama and unchecked by Congress.

Seems like a huge leap of faith to me.

Worked like a charm for Obama.

I agree. In fact, I almost made the comparison earlier.

Trump makes vague statements that enable people to project their own values into the void.

I'm not a Trump hater, but I do find it odd that he has garnered so much support among Republicans. Personally, I think he lacks principles and believe his presidency would be the proverbial box of chocolates.

I read an interesting article that said Trump spoke at a 3rd or 4th grade reading level, with simple vague statements that evoke the problems but don't really get into the substantive solutions. I think his strategy is working perfectly.

He's tapped into the people's general disgust for the lack of strong executive leadership under the last administration.

And he's biding his time as voters who would not support him in the past slowly rationalize why they could accept him as the nominee.

Republican controlled Congress had nothing to do w/ that, right? All Obama's fault.

Harry Reid had more to do with congress' problems. Unless Dumbo would sign off on anything, the lap dog (reid) wouldn't send it up. Come on man, you aren't really that dense are you?

ROTFLMAO with that "article" Yeah, he really wanted to work with the R's on his health care grab. You really are dense.

The relevance of a person's record went right out the window when we elected dipsh!t in 2008.

It was news to me. Age doesn't make it any less relevant to this thread, so...I guess that's why I'm posting it.

I see you still have your unwarranted arrogance. I'm glad.

I see you still have your unwarranted arrogance. I'm glad.

And you are always good for a face palm or two every day. Glad you're back.

He did very well in the last 2 debates, LOL.

Too bad it's not reflected in the polls. LOL

 

[Grand Vol]

He did awesome in the last debate.

 

[FLVOL69]

He did awesome in the last debate.

He's not going anywhere, there should only be 4 candidates on that stage, he's not resonating and I happen to live in the real world. He's an isolationist and that's the last thing the people want. I admire him for sticking to his principles but he's just not electable..

Rand isn't an isolationist in any sense. On the other hand, someone like Fiorina who claims she won't speak to Putin seems pretty isolationist to me.

meh... I thought he was a little quieter than normal in the last one.
