anybody you seriously talks about building a giant wall on one of the larger land borders on the planet is insane. a presidential candidate should not be suggesting such asinine things. not even for exxageration. anybody who talks about picking fights with allies for no good reason is insane. if trump is president, the U.S. will find itself with few friends across the globe and will likely become a much more specific target for terrorist groups. and his economic policies will make almost everything you consume more expensive.
or you could pick slightly more public spending.
as a canadian, and i’m sure basically every non-American agrees, the choice is simple. we can’t understand why a large part of the U.S. population is crazy, and in this case, self-mutilating.
Case in point. All rhetoric. “Every non-american” You’re losing your mind. Yes, if you’re nice to terrorists and their beliefs, they leave you alone. Hardly. And you do know we already have walls and fences…just not effective. And certainly a lot of craziness in the world… http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2016/01/daily-chart-5 Sounds like you are already trying to get here legally. maybe you can poll all those in line to get into America legally about what they think of America’s handling of illegal immigration?
And both sides of the aisle, including HRC, thought it was a good idea to destabilize the middle east. Trump was vocal at the time saying it was a crazy idea. Who again should we be worried about being in the white house? HRC was trigger happy, Donald was not, yet people are concerned about his trigger finger. Simply not rational.
ghibli, I could search for those Trump comments but just wondering if you have a specific article or comment that you’re thinking of when you talk about Trump being against destabilizing the middle east. I would find that interesting to read.
I don’t understand the sweeping generalizations here. If you aren’t a Trump supporter you’re “cukoo” and have lost your mind? I’m not particularly thrilled with any candidate but I’m not voting for Trump (or maybe anyone) and I’d prefer not to be labeled as insane because of it. Regardless, your arguments in support of Donnie boy are well received. It’d be nice to have a conversation where we act like rational adults, like BS proposed in the other topic. You could have easily made this post without the assumption that anyone anti-Trump has lost their marbles. Don’t get that at all.
Oh, he’s not my first choice. I was just commenting on those that consider him “unfit” and “crazy.” There are definitely rational reasons to not support him. For example, if you believe the states should be completely neutered, he’s not your man. If you believe uncontrolled immigration is the way to go, he’s not your man. If you believe insurance should not be sold over state lines, he’s not your man. I’m not saying those beliefs make you insane.
You think Mexico’s best are crossing the Rio Grande? I don’t understand judging someone by sound bites. Take the full context and all the man’s history. Listing a set of quotes like that just shows your ignorance when it comes to the life of Trump and your laziness.
If I had my pick, I like Kasich, maybe Rubio. Unfortunately neither of them have enough popular support, in part just because Trump and Cruz are getting so much airtime. So between Trump, Hillary, and Bernie, sadly Trump to me is the least bad option of the three.
