Trump will win?

Where are the Illuminati when you need them? Hey guys, what do you think happens when a super-egomaniac gets control off the Big Red Button?

Clinton v. Trump is merely Kang v. Kodos all over again. One is as bad as the other, and either is an impending disaster.

I hope that Clinton wins. Not because I think that she deserves it...rather I want to hear the sound of a gazillion redneck, gun-totin' Republicans exploding with apoplectic rage as a black President is succeeded by a female President.

The only thing that could top that is a black, lesbian, trans-gender President. If that ever happened then I am sure that enough rednecks would explode to shift the average IQ of the country up significantly.

I'm not sure Hillary Clinton would be my first choice, but I wouldn't say she's an impending disaster. Trump, on the other hand, would be a disaster, and it amazes me that so many people support him. What kind of magic is he using? He insults former POWs like John McCain, his approval ratings go up. He insults a journalist with a disability, and his ratings go up. He insults women, Mexicans, and Muslims, and his ratings go up. If any other candidate did those things their campaign would be DOA.

If what you want is a Washington outsider with a history of economic success, then there must be a million better candidates than Donald Trump. I really don't get it.

My prediction is that if Trump does become President, someone like Kim Jong-un or Putin will make an insulting comment about Trumps hair and it will start World War III. Trump is a hot head who reacts emotionally without thinking or caring about consequences. That is the impending disaster.

My only concern with Clinton is that if she gets elected there will be another 4 to 8 years of pointless Republican witch hunts and obstructionism. But that would probably happen with Bernie Sanders too because obstructionism is the primary tool of Republicans.

As soon as it is confirmed that it is a Trump / Clinton race, someone will assassinate Trump; either by a cabal or by an individual, from the US or from a foreign government. Perhaps not in the US but elsewhere he is considered to be a dangerous buffoon, one which cannot be allowed the chance to screw things up.

Which would only make things even worse, no matter how bad Trump may be.

The people who should be leaders don't want to and the people who want to shouldn't. That's not good.

And atheist. That would make a nice change.

Ones who haven't bankrupted casinos?  I mention this every time, because seriously, running a casino is as close to a license to print money as it gets.

Exactly.

That's probably true. I have often wondered how Israel, a country with a small population but very big issues, manages to find people willing to be their leader. That's a job I wouldn't want no matter how much money you offered me. But surely in a country like the US, with a population of over 300 million, you can find someone who is better qualified than Donald Trump and still willing to take on the responsibility. Oh wait... you have... Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders... hell, I'd even pick most of the other Republican candidates over Trump.

I have to admit, I'm a little tiny bit disappointed that Cruz won't be President. It would have been nice to have a Canadian in the White House.

[Glom]

There was probaby a Canadian in the White House back in 1814.

And they probably did less damage than Cruz or Trump would.

While trying to stay out of the firing line that seems to be forming, I believe that Trump is not the hair trigger that many have portrayed.  He will no doubt sound better now that the opposition is narrowed.

Trump once revealed Lindsay Graham's personal phone number at one of his rallies after Graham called him a jackass in an interview. That's the kind of acting without caring about consequences that concerns me.

I don't believe it's an act, and I don't believe his behaviour is going to improve... at least not until it starts hurting him, and then he might pretend to be a mature adult. But right now being a rude jackass has only helped him so why would he do anything different?

Really?
The fact that he is more than happy to be some sort of chameleon and change is even more worrying as it shows that he puts scoring points above being transparent and honest.
The man is a jackal, and not a particularly clever one. As others have said, the fact that he can't keep a bloody casino in cash tells it in spades. Where would he be if he didn't inherit his father's $billions?
