What's new

Donald Trump

Yeah, not a fan of that genre. Keep hoping it will just run it's course and TV executives will come up with something other then shows contributing, at least at times, to the dumbing down of America. Instead, Trump lowers the bar right from the start, throws his opponents completely off guard, until eventually they too descend to the level he has set, and the electorate is left watching the nomination process presented as a Realty show. I sure would like to think we are better then this!
I have bad news for you. Reality TV is not going anywhere. The production costs are a fraction of creating quality program and the ratings are high. Unfortunately, as a society we are clearly not better than this. The ratings and the election results prove it.
 
And who could ever imagine, that we would "allow" our election process to arrive at a point, where a candidate, the front runner in the GOP race, would, in the course of the debate format, brag about the size of his penis? As Trump did last night, and in response to Rubio obliquely referencing the size of Trump's penis a few days earlier.
So embarrassing... and did you see him talk about how Romney would have dropped to his knees for the Trump endorsement? That was even worse.
 
At this point I'd be willing to let the Presidency go to whichever of the candidates has the larger penis.

It will be interesting to see how Utah votes if Trump is the nominee. He's exposed the dark, racist, underbelly of the Republican party and conservative politics, something us libtards have been screaming about forever.

Will the voters of Utah align themselves with the KKK and other hate groups with their mindless R vote? Vote 3rd party? Vote D? If HvT pans out it will be interesting to see the cognitive dissonance play itself out.

Crushes the debate. Look at the quotes further down, brutal.

No Rs and Ds this year for me.

My father is a big time republican and he hates trump. Does he hate trump enough to vote for hilary (who he also hates)? I don't know
 
And yet it's the most inefficient healthcare system in the developed world-- while curiously also being the least public healthcare system in the developed world. And we're just talking about efficiencies right now! We aren't even addressing access, or the fact that 1/3rd of filed bankruptcies in America being due to healthcare bills!!

Agreed. It is possible that when you have massive amounts of government interference in a free market enterprise, you will become more inefficient. To me, our healthcare regulations are a classic example of how government inefficiencies and interference can hurt a sector. I don't think anyone in their right mind would say health care in this country is a pure private enterprise.

With healthcare, we need to either be a free market enterprise with minimal interference, or just go pure social medicine. The latter is the route we are following, and when it happens, the subsidization we have been providing the rest of the world in increases in medical care and technology will go out the window, or will cause the rest of the world to step up and pay their share.

I'm in UT and conservative but I do not like Trump and will not vote for him. I don't know anyone that supports Trump and I'm flabbergasted at where his support is coming from.

It speaks to the huge problems of racial, religious, and socio-economic inequality that is deep rooted in this country. We've failed as a nation to realize it and address it, hiding behind nationalism and economic prosperity. Those who are ignored are now speaking up, loudly.

This is what happens when we pretend that everything is ok, we're the best, and everyone who says otherwise is a freedom hating traitor.

The disenfranchised are rising up. It just so happens that many of these folks are bigoted, racist, sad, angry humans.

His style is very appealing to people who don't take their time to study the facts.

I like this post.

I think, like you said, that more and more people are rising up and not having it anymore. The problem is that that often leads us to very different places. They are all over the map

The trick is how do we bring enough of those people together to effect real change? And what real change do "we" want?

Trump has lost 3 out of the 4 closed primaries that have happened so far. While there is support for him in the GOP it does appear that his claim of bringing people into the party is true. The problem for the GOP is that these are not the type of people they should be reaching out to.

I don't think he is bringing people into the GOP. If he was he would win some of these closed primaries as these people would be registering as GOP. But the results point to them simply voting in the primaries that are open and not actually joining the GOP.

It bugs me that racists are so good with branding. The KKK could be an acronym for something cool but the damn racists got there first. Strictly aesthetically speaking the confederate flag is better looking than the US flag. The swastika is a nifty lookin line. Why are racists so good at this stuff?

Just as our very own Hotnikkk stole the KKK, the Nazi's stole the swastika. It used to be a sign of good luck. Maybe you should steal it and try to turn it into something else. Make sure to let us know how that turns out.
