"Negative stereotype" -- quite a crutch, that. Stereotypes have ZIP to do with why I reject Trump and urge others to do the same.

Please open your eyes to facts about Trump, though it's so much more tempting to ignore them.

For example, the man is famous ONLY because he cultivated notoriety. If you think he's famous because of his great business acumen, compare his fame to the nine (at least) billionaire real estate/casino moguls in the U.S. who are so much better at "the art of the deal" than Trump that they out-earn him considerably, the best of whom is worth FOUR TIMES more than Trump's comparatively paltry $3.9 billion. Why have you never heard of them, if brilliant business acumen accounts for Trump's fame?

Trump has a nationwide reputation as a brilliant businessman for ONE REASON ONLY: he marketed himself that way over the past 10 years through MSM venues. That is not a "negative stereotype," it is simple truth. Look it in the face, please, when considering Trump.

McCain attacked Trump earlier this year. Trump defended not by calling McCain out on his bad, flawed politics, but by complaining that McCain isn't really a war hero, because he got captured and with breathtaking arrogance, states, "I like people that weren't captured." (Cue audience conditioned-response laughter, Oh that colorful Trump saying what no one else will say! .. and insulting every POW who ever lived or died.)

While McCain was out there risking getting shot down, captured, and tortured, Trump was home safe a snug thanks to five deferments from the draft, one of them medical even though he had been a star athlete in high school.

"Negative stereotype" -- how about DRAFT DODGER? I don't think of Trump as a draft dodger, actually -- he was in college, I can see him seeking deferments. No, Trump is OUT for me and should be raising serious flags among ALL his American patriot fans, because he behaves like a cad.

Sometimes it ain’t worth debunking. So much opinion disguised as fact. When you can parlay $2 million into $2 Billion in 20-30 years I’ll believe you that all it took to do that was self promotion and noteriety.

(Trump): he behaves like a cad.

We like cads...We've been looking at Trump's faults and failures just like you have and all I can say is, 'So what'!!!

Trump is the ONLY candidate that tells us that he agrees with what we know the country needs to get back on track...

Maybe he won't fulfill these campaign promises??? Again, so what??? How are we then worse off than if Trump had not run to begin with???

Trump has far broader appeal across the board than any other candidate running...
