WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?! - ML Jul 20, 14:17 16
- You"re Fired!! -- nm - Bacon Jul 20, 14:54
- Just think, 35% of the nation is GOP. Of that, 24% think he's the best candidate. - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:51 10
  - I think it's more "I know that name so I'll say him". -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 14:54 9
    - I think it's because people are so tired of their lives not improving, having elected politicians at local, state, and national level... - Loyola Jul 20, 15:19 6
      - Those people are stupid. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:23 5
        
        Elaborating: If they give so little thought to the act of voting, they derve to have shitty government. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:24 4
        
        I think they believe they already have shitty government. No matter who is in power. - Loyola Jul 20, 15:32 3
        
        I have no idea how to answer your IM. Everything I've seen from Republican voters and elected officials indicate they wouldn't give Obama credit for - TWuG Jul 20, 15:37 2
        
        I work from the basis that all political parties, and all politicians are inherently full of shit and will say anything to get elected. - Loyola Jul 20, 15:48 1
        
        Then you are the reason we get shit representatives. You suck as a voter. -- nm - TWuG Jul 20, 15:50
    - I think it's more than that, but not a lot more. I think there is a segment that likes that he says (as you said) what they're thinking or that he's - pmb Jul 20, 14:58
    - maybe some of that, maybe more saying it as a joke or "at least he's not a regular politician" or other similar reasons. - b. Jul 20, 14:56
- Of course it means nothing, but I'm with Ty in that it's still fairly stunning to me that this clown is getting support. - pmb Jul 20, 14:21 3
  - I'm going to amend my statement to mean it matters just slightly this year only because of how the debates will work. - ty97 Jul 20, 14:23 2
    - To wit: Trump is pulling support from Cruz who is now in jeopardy of not getting on stage at the debate. - ty97 Jul 20, 14:24 1
      - which is so incredibly ironic - ML Jul 20, 14:41
Here's the results of the WP Poll from July 2011 - spamlet Jul 20, 14:15 4
- Absolutely agree, I don't lend credence to early polls beyond the "seriously? how is this even possible" reaction -- (link) - ty97 Jul 20, 14:16 3
  - znurfii just got a tingly feeling and doesn't know why. -- nm - spamlet Jul 20, 14:21 2
    - znu thinks Trump is a GOP establishment sleeper agent, IIRC -- nm - ML Jul 20, 14:32 1
      - It's not the craziest thing he's ever said. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:49
I think Trump wins for being the most insecure human being I've ever seen. The way he reacts to any criticism is just stunning to watch. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:12
trump to self: my g-d, what the heck else do I need to do to get those freaking numbers to drop?!?! -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:08 13
- Honestly if it weren't for the fact that he would do irreparable harm to the country (and maybe even the world), it would be pretty entertaining to - pmb Jul 20, 14:14 12
  - He'd quit a few month in when he realized he only gets 400k a year, and Mexico is laughing at him; and Generals are refusing his orders to shoot the -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 14:56 2
    - But wouldn't the press conference when he unveils the plans for his impenetrable wall be fantastic? -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 15:00 1
      - "I'm making it out of the same material my hair piece is made out of. Most inpenetrable material in the world." -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 20, 15:06
  - This tweet along those lines made me chuckle. -- (link) - mara Jul 20, 14:24 3
    - Yeah. I could genuinely see his first state of the union where he announces he wants to change the name of Washington DC to Trump. - pmb Jul 20, 14:34 2
      - WASHINGTON DC IS NOW NEW TRUMP -- nm - Tim Jul 20, 14:35 1
        
        on this other hand, Trump is why Berke came back - ML Jul 20, 14:38
  - right, if it weren't for *that* ("entertaining" isn't what I'd call it, though.) -- nm - b. Jul 20, 14:20 1
    - It would be like watching a train wreck. -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:22
  - I'd actually go with 25% of the population who sees Trump and says "Finally, someone who says what we're all thinking!" -- nm - Tim Jul 20, 14:16 2
    - I don't even know if it's always "says what we're thinking" or just "says what's on his mind without worrying about political correctness". -- nm - pmb Jul 20, 14:18
    - Yep that's was what I was going to say - eag Jul 20, 14:17
