    ..runs his mouth again Here[^] "Trump claimed the expensive, military-themed preparatory school he attended gave him more training than experienced by a lot of the individuals who go into the armed services, according to an advance copy of an upcoming biography “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success” obtained by msnbc. “I felt like I was in the military in a true sense,” Trump said of his studies at New York Military Academy, “because I dealt with the people.” Wow. What a total moron. And this idiot's the GOP frontrunner:confused::confused::confused: Doesn't say much for the GOP. Latino military women are gonna love him

    If you go ahead and elect him, don't come crying to me afterwards! Then it's your own friggin' fault! :doh: A bit scary to think of if money (and a glued on toupé) is ALL it takes to become president of one of the biggest countries in the world :~

      I would take Donald over the other idiots, any day. Donald is an asshole and a bigot, but at least I know who he is. I don't know shit about the other turds running...that bothers me. Oh, and I don't care if Latino women get upset.

            In living memory, previous presidents didn't even need the toupee :)

            If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

              How is a person that is known for his own stupidity a great candidate, just because he is a celebrity? Research the other candidates if you want to know some things about them. Just because someone gets a lot of media attention, doesn't mean that they are a good presidential candidate.

                One silly comment makes him a "total" moron? He's leading because he doesn't play the stupid politics game. You know where he stands. He isn't lying or hiding or running someone else's agenda. It's nice to see someone who is honest and courageous. He doesn't pander to every little sensitive minority.

                  Donald Trump is actually an intelligent person. He just knows nothing about world politics, only world finance and the politics that govern that. That is why the POTUS has advisers. Just because he is an asshole, doesn't make him stupid. Most of the other candidates are Bible thumpers, and that does not interest me. I am a Republican, but not based on Religion (which most are).

                        :thumbsup::thumbsup: That's why I always find it weird that people judge solely on what the candidate knows. Most good business leaders say the key to success is to hire smarter people than them. It should be the same in the White House. No one can know everything about every country and what is going on. When I interviewed for my current position the VP asked if I knew everything I needed to know. I told her no way. But I know how to find the answers. It's OK to not know everything. Our government should be much more than just the President.

                          I've seen the media try to make him look like a fool, but if you actually read what he says you'll see the media is sensationalizing most of what he says and attacking him. Same with this piece in the OP. The piece says that Trump was "boasting" about military etc. I read it and didn't see boasting. So far, I think the media's plan is backfiring. Don't fall for what the media wants you to think. Inform yourself and then think for yourself.

                            Yes, I agree that he isn't stupid(I should have written an asshole, but stupid just came to mind). Of course he can't know everything, I never said one has to or even can know everything. Well your previous post was written in a way that I got a feeling that you only saw the one that is mostly exposed, I misinterpreted it. Thanks for explaining your point of view.

                              Disclosure: I'm a socially liberal fiscally conservative independent and I wish more people didn't identify as one side or the other. We are all American and we are all in this together, part of the same team. If either side "loses" we all lose. I might not be a huge fan of Trump but the man does an amazing job at self promotion. If anyone has any question about why he is doing so well, I urge them to read Scott Adams's blog entry 'Clown Genius'[^]. I've mentioned it a few times before as have a few others I'm sure. The man is an expert at selling himself. He is also an expert at being the anti-candidate. Both sides, right and left have pissed off their base. So he is presenting a third way and it resonates with everyone who isn't happy. Politics as usual isn't working so let's try something new. That said he is also used to getting his own way. If people think Bush and Obama wrote a lot of exec orders, I think Trump would... well trump them both. Bernie Sanders has some interesting ideas but I don't think he would be able to do even a fraction of what he wants. And perhaps that is the best idea, after all the wheels of government were meant to turn slowly. Change things to fast and you get unintended consequences. I will never forget what one of my poli-sci professors said:

                              As soon as you elect someone, you should do every thing you can to get them back out of office.

                              The man was a career marine, started as a front line rifleman and retired as a colonel. He decided that he wanted to teach and help the next generation. He didn't even draw a salary. Always encouraged us to look at both sides even if you didn't like what they were saying and at least think, consider, and ask yourself if it sounded reasonable.
