Trump is the only one offering a choice.

What choice is Trump offering? I haven't heard anything from him that sounds new and different besides ... "hey, I'm a billionaire and a really good negotiator and I'll negotiate better deals." ... WTF does that really mean, anyway?

Trump offers a choice, you can go with crooked politicians who all say about the same thing and all their promises are false or you can take a chance on a fresh face that does not owe anybody anything. When he starts taking bribes from big business then I will agree he is no better.

The sad thing is, everyone thinks he's a clown (except patlal! ), but so is every other Republican candidate. I don't know why they're not saying the same thing about Mike Huckabees campaign being a publicity stunt... he's the asshole selling diet pills. Campaired to that, Trump looks pretty good lmao.

No doubt. They are a cast of clowns. Hillary has become a charecture of herself as well. She was not always like this. She is putting a lot of money together. I can only hope that(aside from her stepping aside) that she is just not fucking around, knows the money making near juggernauts she is up against, and is thinking do whatever it takes to win first and then make some change.? I pray that's it but our country looks to be in some serious trouble.

He thinks Sarah Palin is a great leader and will have a place in his cabinet if he gets elected.

Trump is a billionaire in a government that's been pirated by big money,do you think he cares about middle and lower class citizens? Or do you think he is only going to further bend the government in favor of the rich at the expense of the poor.
When it comes to politics you have to read between the lines, because we all know that polticians will say anything to get votes, and are not known for being honest people...Plus they all have hidden agendas, and they don't state their true motives...this should be common sense.
What does trump offer? Have you reviewed his projected political policies?
(In general republicans are full of shit, Rick Perry goes on and on about eliminating three institutions in government, then he can't publicly name these institutions, and looked foolish, so he starts wearing glasses to try to look smarter...Sam Brownback destroy Kansas with his retardo-right-wing nonsense...Paul Ryan has this Ayn rand view of the poor, his "path to prosperity" plan would have economically ruined America...Mitch McConnell is a cartoon turtle....and so on, every single one of them is an unintelligent greedy lying charlatan baffoon and are not even fit to be flipping burgers at McDonald's let alone governing this nation...
...Jesus, if politics can in any way be considered an intelligence test, that the people who support trump or any right wing candidate are failing the test.
I'm not any happier with the democrats, I honestly think their both corrupt, out-dated and ineffective political parties.
..but, damn, the right wingers are so ridiculous as humans and in their policy.
I think we're fucked, Bernie Sanders would likely do the best job, but he gets no media attention, trump is all that's talked about on these news networks, that or Clinton...
This upcoming election is going to be another nail in America's coffin...
Business as usual isn't going to be an option for much longer, we will run out of oil, destroy the environment, the economy will collapse under its currant projected path, our political systems will fall to pieces...etc...etc..etc... We KNOW all this is just over the next horizon, yet we are just going to pretend that we can keep doing things the way we always have done them, and this greedy, capitalist, industrialist, culture that we have built is going to change it it will destroy us all...but rather than change they are ready to say "everything is fine, go about your business as usual" as they run us over the edge of a cliff...
I have very little hope for our political system, and if Donald trumps is elected president it will be official, the American dream will have died.

If Trump is elected President, I think it is clear evidence that the collective IQ of America has sunk to a level that will insure America's steady decline to about the importance of England.

He just wanted to say he'd tap Sarah Palin.

Sarah palin does not seem like a great choice but she was a governor. Take a look at the incompetent assholes obumble has appointed and tell me they are better? Many of them were forced to resign because of blunders or to take the blame for obumble's own stupid policies.
All I hear from the extreme left is 'I hate repubs' and the implication that dems are way better. Wise up fools! the dems are just as bad. You have been taken in by pro wrestling style theatrics. Whenever there is a horrible bad bill like the tpp, or the one stopping the states from mandatory labeling of gmo's, the dems make speeches against it and then cross over in just enough numbers to make sure it passes. And you fall for that.
Your politicians are all paid off and vote for the highest bidder. Are any of you going to tell me with a straight face that hill-billy is honest and doesn't sell out? Trump makes billions in business, he doesn't need a govt job to make more money. He is one of the few that big companies and rich folk can't bribe. A bag of cash with lets say, $30k in it will buy the vote of 90% of our elected politicians. The other 10% are waiting for a little more. Trump makes that much per hour.
He knows the media and various moonbat groups will be watching him like a hawk and putting everything he does under a microscope to find any errors. No free pass for him, unlike obumble who brazenly pockets bribes and goes against his public and against the promises he made. He never saw a law favoring the rich that he didn't like. Ka-ching ka-ching! After office he will collect on the payoffs, getting millions for speeches and being put on the boards of companies.

While Republican cry and moan about a "government takeover" of business and America, what really happened was Business took over Government. And, of course, the GOP paved the way for it to happen.
