Donald Chump..
-
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).

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.

What a total moron. And this idiot's the GOP frontrunne
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.

You haven't been paying attention, have you? Every day he comes out with more of his absurdity. Go back over the last few week and listen to some of his rantings.

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.

He doesn't need the media's help... he's doing a pretty good job it all by himself.

Why do you think so?

You can't be serious.. Donald Trump is NOT going to build a wall along the US southern border. Mexico is NOT going to pay for it. Donald Trump's prep school experience is no where even close to any form of military training. And being a former Marine, I'm insulted that he's trying to make himself off as someone with military experience. His comments calling women fat pigs are insulting and degrading. His comments calling Latinos murderers and rapists are realllly stupid. His foreign policy comments make him look like a total fool. His comments on John McCain are very insulting to a national hero. But don't take my word for it[^] And you call him "intelligent" and support him??? He's a side show who has zero chance of being president.

I asked a question to you. I did not make a statement. Don't put words in my mouth.

So, essentially, his statement is stupid because you disagree with it. Fine, but I thought you maybe had more.
Kevin Marois wrote:

I read it and didn't see him try to equate the two.
Kevin Marois wrote:

He didn't call all women fat pigs, did he?
Kevin Marois wrote:

Again, you're just listening to the media. If you listen to what he actually said, he didn't say that all latinos are that way.
Kevin Marois wrote:

All he said was that he shouldn't be considered a hero for getting caught. Are you suggesting we should call all POWs heroes and the rest of them are not heroes?
Kevin Marois wrote:

He can't have made as much money as he had without being intelligent.
Kevin Marois wrote:

Interesting. He's been leading so why would you say that?

Sure. He said what you quoted he said. But intent, meaning, is your opinion and can only be verified by Trump himself. You can't claim to know what Trump's intent and meaning were. Even the link you posted that had his quotes had him saying that some of the latinos are good people yet you ignored it. It appears you are not actually paying attention to what he says. If he says he likes the color white then you are assuming that he hates the color black.

Asking you to backup your opinion is trolling? OK, fine. :rolleyes:

..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

Then I must be stupid, too. I am all for sending the ILLEGALs back to where they came. I am all for having Mexico pay for it. Nothing stupid about that. I find it funny when legal hispanics try to defend the illegal hispanics.

Read what exactly? The OP has several actual quotes from Trump but none specific to what the article claims is boasting. So are you saying that you have seen the book and/or the specific passages in the book and they are not boasting? If you have seen them, given the book has not yet been released, where exactly did you see them?
