People who are so disgruntled they are reaching for hope without clearly thinking about things.

Apparently. He sure is wrong about the types. Too arrogant to understand how betrayed many feel.

While I am critical of Mr. Trump, I don't get why they are saying his party would be anti-semitic. I don't see anything anti-semitic in what Trump has said.

Yes, the European parties he is talking about are anti-semitic, but that wouldn't work here, especially as the left moves more in that directikn.

I think accusations of anti-semitic are grossly misplaced.

Holy crap Nick, are you ok??

I’m so used to your vehement anti-Teump rhetoric that I’m frankly quite shocked at your reply.

So anyone who is not a Trump worshiper is a “sham” to you? In your estimation no conservative can be critical of Trump? Strange talk from someone who bundles for Cruz.

Trump is not going to run third parry. He will drop out when it’s not fun to him anymore.

Nathan Bedford's first Maxim of American politics: All politics in America is not local but ultimately racial.

This article is an unintentional confirmation of this Maxim. The immigration argument is really about whether people of color may practice identity politics but Caucasians may not.

4) Single-issue anti-immigration fanatics.

Earlier tonight I went to check Trump's website to source his position on something important, and the only link he has is one that says "positions." And under that link the only thing there is "immigration reform," which leads you to the one white paper he released after conferring with Senator Sessions on the issue. That's it. Nothing else. Remarkable.

Let’s assume he reaches majority status before 1 Oct, and totally eclipses all other candidates from both parties even worse than he does now. What makes you think he would drop out? Seriously.

Try reading his latest book. His policies are laid out there quite clearly, with references.

Because your position has seemed to soften a bit.

He's running for the highest office in the land. His website should tell the citizenry where he stands without having to pay him for the privilege.

Because I don't think he wants to be president. It's not a fun job. Plus, he risks a lot of stuff coming put that would make him look foolish. Plus, he would have to raise $1 billion.

He likes getting attention and making inflated claims about himself. El cam do it all he wants now. If you are presid ed not you take hits. Bad hits. All of them do. It's not the kind of thing Trump would enjoy.

>As long as he is claiming that he knows better than all the politicians its all fun but once you're really there its not fun anymore.

Granted.

I have only skimmed it in the bookstore, because I agree with you.

However, I truly believe that the campaign is long - and as it goes along more concrete policy positions will be released.

He has already released more than any other candidate.

Hmmm...not on his website. It's almost content-free.

I think you misunderstood. I said what Trump was, but I never claimed or thought he was an anti-semite. I never claimed he tries to incite violence. He’s a liberal, a socislist, a narcissist, and a flip flopper, not those other things. I never said he was a racist.
