This is not a joke. Trump is a really, really dangerous guy. And most of the country seems to be falling head over heels for him.

I don't know about most of the country. Too many people, certainly.

Agreed. I definitely wouldn't say "most."

I'm also fairly certain if Trump actually won the presidency he'd wake up the next morning and think "oh crap, what do I do now?"

If Trump actually gets the nomination, the Dems will win the election even if they nominate a Zoo Rhino.....

Zoo Rhino's at least have one standing policy that makes sense.

I, for one, welcome our Zoo Rhino overlord.

What Sigma said.

I typically vote conservative in local politics. It's personal. The Republican incumbent for my district in Washington State literally saved my military career from an early demise a number of years ago. I had to ask for a congressional investigation to convince the army to do the right thing and follow their own regulations. His office opened the investigation and "Waa Laa" the army suddenly changed it's mind about ending my career on a technicality that didn't actually apply to me in the first place. Trust me, this is the short version.

On the national front I have actually voted for the "liberal candidate" on one or two occasions over the years. If Trump gets the Republican nomination I may have to actually vote for the libertarian candidate.

If Trump gets elected, I'm sure there will be men from the US military who have sworn to protect the USA from enemies foreign and domestic, will take matters into their own hands. If they don't, then we have a bunch of hypocrites in the military.

Hate to say it, but @vendic, I think you're right. For real.

Is there anything the guy won't say? I mean, damn.

He had a copy of Hitlers book under his bed. Former wife reported this bit of trivia.

His brand of racism and hate reminds me of Barry Goldwater in 1964.
Back then Goldwater was almost despised by the other Republicans but most supported him anyway.
Those that didn't fell out of favor in the party.
That time in Republican history split the party in many ways to give the extremists of the era more hold. The moderates lost out.
It was the stepping stone to how we got here.

If history repeats, the USA will have Hilary or Bernie as President and the Republican party will go even more nuts.

Sometimes though, I really think what the USA needs is Trump as President. It's about the only way I can see the American people finally waking up. Bad in the short term, good in the long term. So y'all know, if we're here when he gets elected, whatever boat we have we're leaving on.

This came up in my feed. I had no idea that there was a "Goldwater rule" regarding psychiatrists. Funny considering my post above. lol

I remember when Reagan was first elected. My sister and I vowed to leave the country. We didn't have a boat, though.

I have a boat and a place to go!

I'd offer to let you come along but you think it's too small for a long trip

Reagan seems like the Messiah compared to Trump.

Can't argue with that.

Hey, wow. What @vendic said about the Hitler book? It's real.

Holy shit.

I try really hard to be as factual as I can be. Doesn't always work.
If you look at Trump while he makes speeches, you can see that he studied Hitler, or, is a reincarnation. Take your pick.

Interesting. Hitler's mustache morphed into Trump's toupee. Freaky.

One does not preclude the other.

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!?
Don't stop him, he's on a roll.

Maybe we need to enter a float in the Trump parade? I'll go buy 10,000 marbles.
