Title says it all. What your opinions on old man Trump running for US president? Imo, he needs to stay in the entertainment biz and leave politics to people who wanna do something positive.

Trump's assertiveness is the only thing about him I like. Whether or not he would actually follow up with what he says. That, I can't really say. As for his ideas, i'm neither conservative or liberal. But I find a lot of what he says to be pretty ignorant.Trump is all talk with a liberal history. Alot of what he says I agree with but he only says what will benefit him in the polls. Now I'm glad someone has a voice and speaks their mind in politics but he shows no humility. Right now Carson has my vote. There have been things he has said I disagreed with but he seems like an intelligent individual who actually cares about this country and the people living in it.
True, Latino voters have a huge impact when it comes to elections. Mainly because we are a large and growing population here. Which is why Trump surprises me sometimes. Now, i'm not saying he should be honey *******, lol. But to say, "We're going to build a wall", "make Mexico pay for it", "send people back", etc. I'm sure he knows he's negatively affecting his own campaign with Latino voters. Why he continues to do it? Well... It's pretty obvious.Given the number of Latino-Americans in this country, I doubt he'll win the presidency.
Actually, not true man. Whites alone, make up around 62.1% of the American population (as of 2014). Your close though, lol. Don't worry we'll catch up quick.Hell just minorities in general. When you add up all the minorities they outnumber whites though one snafu is that minorities have lower turnout. I'm hoping this election will be different. We don't want Trump in the White House.
Donald Trump is an entrepreneur, of course a handful of his ventures failed, it's all part of the game. A failed business essentially tells investors to refocus their efforts--it is moronic to sustain a company with zero customers, that's a complete waste of resources which benefits no one. Trump has clearly shown that he knows how to put things into action, unlike a certain pandering, sentimental, economically illiterate socialist (or pretty much every other politician for that matter).Donald Trump is the best the Republicans have to offer. He has strong support with upper middle class and high class citizens because of his business expertise, even though closer inspection of his history will show he's not as successful as he wants to portray.

Bernie Sanders will take the Democratic ticket amd hopefully the election.
What exactly makes a "better" politician then? What are the crucial skills possessed by other politicians which Trump lacks?Sure, Donald Trump speaks out his mind, and sure he's a businessman, but in no way does that make him any better of a politician.
Plus, the "truth" that Trump blurts out occasionally is often outright wrong. Does one really want to vote for a person who wants to build a wall around Mexico? He's being honest about wanting to start that project, but why would you want him in charge just because he isn't oppressing his fantasies?
And some supporters have spouted out such arguments as: "Trump isn't a joke, he's the only one not pretending that the whole thing is a joke!". Well, I don't know about you, but I'd rather vote for a person who's at least trying to take things seriously rather than someone not taking anything seriously enough and calling all the Mexicans "rapists".
Hilary is just a bandwagoner.Many voters feel sanders and trump are two ends of the same stick with Hilary in the middle. I am not one of these.
Also both sanders and Trump have insane ideaa when it comes to wages. Trump proposes NO income tax for individuals making less than 25k a year, 50k for married filing jointly, and sanders proposes a hike in minimum wage to be 15 dollars. FIFTEEN DOLLARS. I'm a manager and make less than what he's proposing pimple faced tweens from high school should make flipping burgers.
Smh. So they think Hilary is the least of 3 evils?
I shudder to see what happens in the next decade, regardless of who wins.
Parents on opposite political wings? That's a recipe for disaster.Hilary is just a bandwagoner.
Will support something because other liberals support it. But it's not something she actually believes. Case in point, she was homophobic at first, but started supporting gay pride because other liberals were supporting it.
I know, because my mom supports her.
As a result, both my parents are idiots.
As if all the other politicians don't also express that sentiment in some form or another.In any case, I think people are getting sick of Trump's "I'm better than you, and know everything" attitude.
How about Sanders?I'd almost rather Trump over Hilary Clinton tbh.
He's Uber Liberal which is great for so many reasons but could be am issue when dealing with Congress.How about Sanders?
Same.I dislike both Hillary and Trump. Don't know Sanders well enough, so can't really form an opinion.
IMHO you can do communism right, but the communists now are like dictators.Sanders is a communist, that's all you need to know.
It's not a matter of opinion. Communism does not work "in theory", it's fundamentally flawed in an economic sense because there's no profit motive (bye bye progress) and there's no way to measure supply/demand (hello starvation).IMHO you can do communism right, but the communists now are like dictators.
Sanders is still a better choice than Hillary though. Everything is.
Okay then.It's not a matter of opinion. Communism does not work "in theory", it's fundamentally flawed in an economic sense because there's no profit motive (bye bye progress) and there's no way to measure supply/demand (hello starvation).
