You'd be forgiven for believing that we are, but it's really just an over-the-top circus masquerading as a political process.
:))
Those noisy statements have made the headlines because the media like to focus on them. I have been listening more to his comments on other matters, where he does talk sense in his folksy way.
What he says on the important policy issues (illegal immigration, border security, ISIL, illegal wars, waste in defense, need for infrastructure spending, need to push back on trade deals, need to push back on China currency manipulation, need to improve working conditions for ordinary Americans) makes sense. It's more appealing than anything coming out of any of the other candidates except Bernie and perhaps Kasich (who hasn't got a chance).
He is also the one man who can dismantle the GOP money power structure which has dominated American politics on the right for 30 years. He's already doing this to a degree in the primaries. That is why he deserves a chance.
As @A_Kristatos said, this election will not be about 'social issues'.
That the same old story with criticism on populists. If you criticize the populist, suddenly the people who vote for them are offended. That's where it goes wrong. I criticize Trump, not it's voting constituency. I dislike the man and his racist bigotry as a shameless marketing instrument, NOT the people who are actually suffering from all that bad politics and who had to leave their houses because they can't pay the rent anymore.
I think it's a shame that when freedom of speech comes into play, I suddenly have to tone down that same freedom of speech, because I insult voters when I really criticize the populist.
Trump or Cruz. In my book, Cruz would be dangerous and bring the worst of the Republicans (Tea-Party) to ultimate power. A harrowing thought.
Before you condemn Trump think about it. He is by far the better choice.
I concur.
In theory, he could "force" Cruz, Rubio, and Kasich out of the race and get the 65% not voting for Trump to rally around him and either try to stage a stunning come-from-behind victory or simply keep Trump from the required number of delegates to clinch the nomination, forcing a brokered convention.
Yes, and please Sarah Palin for Vice President, super-hot and I mean that

Trump has gone from being a publicity seeking, feed-my-ever-growing-ego celebrity buffoon to a publicly bigoted, racist, ignorant and disrespectful (to put it mildly) menace.
Has he shook up the system? Yes. Is that in itself perhaps helpful? Probably. But by no means is he qualified for the presidency and I will not be voting for him. He is an embarrassment to our country and many of his over-the-top remarks cannot be excused; no.
#NeverTrump
Same here.
Cruz has too much religious ideals on his mind.
Trump is a real life Bond villain.
Hillary, while she's on the right side, her agenda might not be in the right place.
Bernie, the only sane one of the bunch.
>:D<
Ultimately, the GOP may choose to lose this election rather than have Trump as their nominee. I get the feeling this is the direction they are headed for consciously at the moment. It will be up to Trump to make the case to the power structure that he can work with them. He has to do that quickly though.
As I said before, I think this is his election to lose. It's really up to him to decide which way it goes but he will have to move quickly and very smartly to consolidate his position within the next two to three weeks.
Oh, and I realize there are many who will never buy into him as president. That goes without saying. His statements have offended too many.
Thanks @chrisisall, It probably helps that I'm one of the few American's speaking in this thread. :P
Maybe in the Whyte House in that fabulous transparent round bed :))
Maybe we should all have little icons to preface our remarks with: Yes I am an American. Yes I vote. Yes I am a registered Democrat/Republican/3rd Party/Decline to state... so that our context can be more readily understood. For the record (although I've already mentioned this earlier) I am indeed an American/Registered Democrat/been voting against the Republican candidate since Nixon in 1972 and proud of it. Re: the Donald -- please, please, don't throw your party into that briar patch.......oops, too late. Heh heh heh. =))
I'm here for an argument. (No you're not!)
