Election 2016

[oldngray]

I'm just saying an election is a long ways a way and with all of Hillary's problems anyone stands a punchers chance against her.


I could totally see a lot of people in the middle just being disgusted and not voting.

Those disgusted people are where Trump is getting his votes. The party establishment on both the left and the right hate Trump. He is also closer to a traditional Democrat than either Hillary or Bernie so would draw away many of their potential voters in a general election.

Possibly. The real funny thing on the Democrat side is that Sanders polls far better against the three remaining Republican candidates than Clinton does. The establishment on both sides of the aisle seems to be completely out of the loop.

What a show this election cycle has been, and I have no doubt it will continue that way right up until election day.

True.
I'd say in reality both Trump and Hillary blur the lines between Republican and Democrat. However, what they pretend to believe in for the sake of primary voters, at this point, are very different things. If Trump wins the nomination it will be interesting hearing his tune change for the general election.

A big problem with Trump is nobody really knows where he stands on issues. He makes so many boisterous comments and constantly alters what he says. Just like a politician instead of a businessman.

Most politicians have to show something that resembles an actual plan. Before people will vote for them.



Just shows how dumb the general public is.

The majority of voters are definitely dumbed down. Politicians don't need a plan. All they need to do is promise people what they want to hear whether or not it makes sense.

I watch these debates and I'm like I could pick trump apart on the issues and I'm just a dumb truck driver.

You better not be ugly or have ears then because he would pick you apart.

Trump's success in building a business is "plan" enough for me. He's already shown plenty of planning and carrying out plans.

That's one of the most ignorant statements I have ever read.


That is not a plan.

"I plan to be a billionaire.....I succeed........that's definitely a plan.

I have a plan for my retirement.


Doesn't mean I'm qualified to be the president.

It puts you ahead of people who don't have any plan or any experience.
