    I feel indifferent, and no i don't need a Snickers bar.

    I'm just telling you how it is. People are angry in this country so they will ride along with the establishment opposition no matter who it is.

    It might as well be Lucifier, because he promises you the world will be a better place if you ride with him. Believe it.

    you are so "low energy" Poeman. Besides Trump has a consistent, specific plan for our nation's defense. I believe its something like "Folks, I am going to make our military so strong, so strong, that we'll never have to use it."

    see that settles it :rolleyes:

    there is a lot of Rex Ryan in Donald Trump. nonsense glamorous answers to everything

    Trump supporters are a different breed. If he raped a baby, and said the baby had it coming, they would still support him. They are that brainwashed, its unbelievable.

    "We are going to bomb the hell out of those oil fields. Believe me, we have people in charge that are total disasters right now. Trillions of dollars are going to waste, come on. Unbelievable I tell ya. And lets not forget our police, I love the police, love them."

    I think I've heard something like this before, or at least along those lines.

    1). He's just a blip on the radar and will fade away quickly.
    2). Polls mean nothing, when voters get serious they won't vote for him
    3). He has a ceiling of 20-25% and that's where it ends
    4). He has a ceiling of 35-40% and that's it

    The bottom line is both the GOP and DNC are scared shitless and that's amusing to watch to say the least.
    Whether he wins or not, Trump has already changed the landscape of US politics for the foreseeable future.

    This thread is becoming unreadable. Guys, tone it down please. No reason for name calling, curse words and personal attacks. Fuck Trump, Hillary or any other politician. They are in this for fame, status and money. They don't care about you and for no reason you should break the heart of a fellow Jet fan.

    Now, you can all curse to deathstar he is a stinking Dolphins fan.

    But I am serious though. Let's be civil guys.

    I can't speak for others, but I don't judge Jets fans on their political beliefs, that being said Im rather okay with a contentious debate in this political cycle. It's different for a reason. One of these candidates will represent this country for the next 4 years, it is too obvious that they are in for fame, status and money but this are the turds we are dealt with.

    It's why people like a Bernie for example.

    Its a similar situation to when obama first ran. Everyone was chirping about "change" and "O yes we can" crap that was nonstop. Its amazing how gullible the mass majority of america is.

    If you want to bash Trump for not being specific then you have to bash HRC for not being specific. She can't even answer a yes or no question.

    Pretty good point, top to bottom.

    There's a part of me that wants to put Bernie in the same class as Trump, because I never in my life would have thought a guy could clearly identify as socialist and not be immediately disqualified. But then, looking at it in the daylight, there was definitely a niche available for an "other" candidate. Like Ralph Nader, but smart enough to pretend to be associated with one of the two major parties. And I don't think there's any genius behind the simple populist message of: millyunairs and billyunaires are screwing you.

    Trump is a different animal and it's just friggin fascinating. Think about what he has done, and STILL his numbers have grown. He trashed the pope. My Catholic parents shrugged and said that the pope should have minded his own business. I think that's right, but it still just blows my mind. Trump told his security to throw a handful of protesters out into the cold and take their coats away. He talked about the size of his dick. He gets asked about calling women "fat pigs" and "slobs" and so forth, and when called on it, he says, "to be fair, only Rosy O'Donnell." He referred to Megyn Kelly being on the rag. He insulted a world renown surgeon by calling him "just an okay doctor." All of this, and more. STILL, he's poised to be the nominee.

    Contrast this with Hillary Clinton, who spent the first six months of her candidacy avoiding ANY contact with media that wasn't staged and controlled. Trump talks with anyone, takes questions from anyone, answers however the fuck he wants, insults anyone who disagrees with him, and he has totally confounded every establishment politician, political hack or consultant anywhere in the country. It's just amazing.

    I don't think you're wrong about that. But they can be so dense on matters of politics. I like Mitt Romney, but whose idea was it to send him out to tear into Trump?! That was the surest way to lock up another handful of states for the guy. If I were Donald Trump right now, I'd be on the phone daily with Henry Kissinger, begging him to stand on the same stage. All of a sudden, just by that simple act, he'd have foreign policy chops. People on both sides wouldn't know whether to shit or go blind.

    No it doesn't. It sounds like you never left your grammar school playground. So, what is your persona here? Someone who wants to be part of a discussion, or someone who acts like an asshole 3rd grader?

    I think I know the answer, but surprise me.

    Again, totally ridiculous. Try reading her positions. Here's a link to her website:

    https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

    Now you may not agree with what she says. But it is a flat out lie that she has no specifics.

    You need to get out of your know nothing bubble.

    I am sick of Bernie. He's just as bad as Republicans in some ways. His numbers don't add up for starters. He is very misleading on the relation of trade agreements to the economy. He never says a single nice thing about free markets. He throws out giveaway fantasies like free college. His most stupid statement is saying we need a revolution when he is running for a position in a party that has held that position for the last 8 years.

    Now he does have some specifics, but not where it counts - how is he going to implement what he proposes? Did past efforts, like the ACA, fall short in his view merely due to lack of effort (as he sort of implies)?

    Sanders is like Cruz in that he totally fails to acknowledge this is a sharply divided country.

    I wouldn't say he's a phony. But that's not so great, in the sense that just strongly believing things and implying those who disagree with you are somehow morally bereft leads to arrogance and hostility. You can see it in his supporters. Part of the left is beginning to mirror the right. It's not a good thing, and Sanders has acted as an enabler for that dynamic.
