Well being bankrupt is pretty easy, making all the money again is not, that's why I think he is outstanding but I do understand your points, let's say an "outstanding" better lol.

It is very sickening, specially after so much hate speeches..

I don't know, I can see him having an easier route to making money, or not losin all his money, at least. I think he's just shrewd enough to not lose his money.

And the fact that he is okay with his supporters attacking minorities.

They've jumped ship to her before when he's won in the polls. She's legit being paraded as "the only logical vote," which in turn makes nobody want to vote for Sanders, because he's "just going to lose." The whole reason my generation is full of people who "don't vote, because it won't matter anyways," is because of this type of thing.

But she is actually winning so they wouldnt jump ship.

I mean, that's pretty flippant of you. While it's conveniently difficult to really pin down where Clinton really stands on most issues (this is by design btw), none of them have lined up with what you've voiced in this thread thus far.

Donald Trump would ruin the country, do you honestly want people to vote for this man? Clinton will at least keep the country steady, I can't imagine her making things as worst will Trump will. Screw the issue, I just dont trust him.

I also dont believe in the philosophy of voting for a third party or just not voting at all.

I also already did my job by voting for Rubio. The rest is in Kami-sama's hands.

Bernie started this race at a huge disadvantage to Hillary, who has dynasty and media from day one. It's pretty remarkable just how popular Bernie is, and the fact that he's still in the race.

Unfortunately being popular doesnt guarantee being elected, results do.

Wow, I didn't think I'd find something that would make me think trump was worst than what I already thought he was. Even without the blatantly racist implications it is already atrocious that a presidential candidate would say it is ok to rough someone up even if they are "troublemakers".... On the other hand this is a man who has been offering to deal with the middle east almost exclusively through war crimes (as have other GOP candidates)...

I thought Obama already had ruined the country? And that Clinton would only be a continuation of it? I mean, that's how everyone wanted to frame it, especially Republicans. Despite you not supporting Trump, they all shared this view to varying degrees.

I mean, I guess this is just a mirroring of what's going on within the GOP in general. You jumped ship pretty quickly, I don't imagine the GOP establishment will give up so easily. The Republican party could be forever changed. Something like this hasn't been seen since the Democrats and the fighting over Vietnam. It took them 20 years or so to unify again.

Marco Rubio & Fox News are destroying trump tonight. When they put Trumps budget on screen and showed how it doesnt balance out and he couldnt come up with nothing math acceptable (department of environmental protection, does he not know that its the EPA?) he was destroyed.

Fox News panel is always the best though.

Kasich seems irrelevant.

The Republican front-runner. :lmao

I don't know how these debates can be taken seriously while Trump is present.

I love how everyone blames him or the media for indulging it. This guy is dancing circles around these people and the american public in general and everyone is either too stupid or afraid to do anything about it.

Two different rallies, a Latino and a black was attacked. Apparently at a recent rally, Trump's supporters pushed around a black woman. I'm not sure about the latter, but Trump did say he appreciated his supporters' enthusiasm. Quite disturbing.

I don't think any republican debate or candidates can be taken seriously. Pretty sure they get higher ratings because people tune in to see what kind of stupidity the candidates will get into, whether Trump, Cruz, Rubio, or Christie. These debates seem to be more meme-able, and only republicans take them seriously, I think.

It's good to see how the last republican debate addressed the big issues everyone is concerned about. Now we know donald trump does not have small hands and everything works fine "down there".

M3J · Mar 5, 2016

The GOP debates are a joke. It's why the ratings are high, because a lot of people want to see the stupidity that ensue from it. It's why I facepalm whenever republicans brag about the ratings.
