Donald Trump (I'm Worried)

Trump may win the Republican nomination, but its a different order of things to win the overall election. Clinton beats Trump in the vast majority of polls by a significant margin. The worst case scenario is Sanders facing Trump as Trump a better chance in that matchup, but Sanders still consistently beats him in polling.

Ironically enough, Rubio consistently beats Clinton but the Republicans seem to want to nominate a loser to represent them over a likely winner.

Trump is a product of the Republican party meltdown. Sad seeing the party of Abraham Lincoln putting forward a charmless raving lunatic as their candidate, but they validated and encouraged the sort of deranged view of Obama and the Democrats as being an existential threat. If you are constantly getting hysterical about threats, dangers and evil plots by Obama then you pretty much rule out mainstream solutions: more of the same cannot work if the threats are so terrible and dire.

Hence Trump picks up the benefit because he is happy to propose bizarre, deranged and lunatic solutions that fit the imagined threats the Republicans have been trumpeting about. Plus the "establishment" candidates have sabotaged each other more than they have Trump - Christies attack on Rubio was aptly described as a political murder-suicide.

So Trump can be successful in the extremist world of the Republican party members/activists, but he will get absolutely destroyed in a wider election.

The problem the Republicans have is it will be at least 12 years for them to have a successful candidate. They wont even have an electable one if Trump gets nominated. Further indulging the extremist fringe and conspiracy theories will only destroy their party - but its very hard to see how they put the genie back in the bottle.

I thought losers are the opposite to successful people.

I wouldn't be so smug, considering we've elected not one, but two, Healy Raes only two weeks ago

Firstly, how is Trump an idiot? He is a billionaire. He is a very clever man.

Secondly, there is very very little between the likes of Trump, Obama, Mrs & Mr Clinton and Bush in terms of Economics. What sets Trump aside is that he is looking out for American workers and American based business. He is the only one that is bothered enough to change the lives of workers or people that want to work.

Obviously we as outsiders look at the American Presidental Election as a major factor of global conflicts but if you were a low to mid income worker in America or a small business owner, you would definitely be interested in what Trump has to say.

The same ones who are scared Trump will be elected are the same morons who acted like Obama was answer to all humanity's problems 8 years ago.

Obama tuned out to be Bush 2 and they turned a blind eye to it.

Obama murdered 150 people in Somalia earlier in the week. Nobody in the media questions the press release that ALL murdered were "terrorists". Nobody in the media questions the legality of the US president murdering people in a foreign country that the US is not at war with.

And Irish people lined the streets to cheer this evil scumbag? Tossers.
