2016 American Presidential Campaign

Great job Donald is doing with the latino community. You can't win an election if you alienate the Hispanic population. Threatening one of the biggest drug lords in the world isn't too bright either. Kind of funny he escaped the day after he made those comments. Watch your back Donald!
 
He's probably filming a documentary like MITT or something that he can sell after he drops out of the election within the next 2-3 weeks.

I give him a month to live as a candidate, tops.
 
He shot himself in the foot for the Republicans by the comments he made about John McCain as well.
 
"President Trump" lol

The world has yet to see the impact of those words against McCain. I honestly feel that Trump is all the more an idiot for basically blaming the guy for being in a POW camp for five and half years.
 
As long as Trump shouts we have an existential threat on the Mexican border and promises to put up a 50 foot wall with a 10 foot trench, swimming alligators, electric fence, dogs, snipers, whatever to keep the border secure he will have the attention some on those far on some right fridges. Republicans are seemingly having to distance themselves from actually taking him seriously with his circus charade.

sounds a little familiar

Of course, according to the Soviets, they also built a giant wall "due to the existential threat" lingering across the border.
 
There's a lot of GOP candidates still potentially in the running at the moment. I'd be interested to see what a BL poll of all the current contenders and independents would return. Probably no consensus at all.
 
The problem with Trump is that he appeals to part of the GOP base, even while alienating the voters the GOP needs to win the presidency.

He's unlikely to win even the primaries, but he can swing the primaries far enough to the right that the surviving candidate will have a heck of a time in the general election.

I think he has already blown his chance of even being able to say he accomplished that. He needed to stay somewhat viable as a candidate instead of a cartoon in order to get any play once his poll numbers start shrinking as voting nears and people get serious.
 
If Trump is good at anything it's making headline news everyday. They just don't stop talking about him, from national news to my local news stations, late night shows, comedy shows, to whatever. Everyday Trump. You know he loves it.

Omg now I said it. Donald Trump. Fq! It's just so contagious. He's making us all crazy just by hearing him speak.

Eventually he'll run out of someone to insult, so far mexicans and war POWs aren't enough.
 
Breaking news: Department of Justice announces opening criminal investigation into Hillary Clinton's email to determine if classified information was transmitted over her unsecured private server.

I hope they find everything she's really been hiding on her private server. Even though it was reported she already whiped her email server clean and deleted everything, there should be some advanced computer forensic techniques the feds have to retrieve any data. Not to mention investigating correspondents emails. The public at least deserves to know whether she broke any laws as secretary of state. When the DOJ gets to the bottom of this and if they find any wrongdoing, her presidential campaign will be over. She's already lossing more trust in polls among democrats.

I wouldn't get my hopes up for Clinton, the dems better start seriously putting out some better canditates. Otherwise Trump might be president afterall ahaha.
 
Maybe John Bowles will run for the ANP. This would be the first time that a National Socialist candidate was even considered in recent history.
 
I can't believe Trump is still winning. What if he actually wins the nomination? How fucking crazy would this country be with President Trump?
 
Trump is going to be center stage of the 10 republican candidates in the first debate. I don't think I've ever watched a full primary debate before. With Trump on center stage, shouting to his left, shouting to his right, being fully animated and everything; this might actually be entertaining. Get the popcorn out. :p

For the record, this is the article that the NYT had to retract, no?

It was. Then reported as a criminal inquiry. Now just lingers w/ some facts saying she transmitted classified information on her emails after the fact of her secretary in state. It's burred in the liberal media. Honestly with them covering people like Bernie Sanders the democrats seem concerning about finding someone else in case something damaging is found about Hillary Clinton. Political activists for the party would not put all their eggs in one basket w/ a lil over a year until elections. You need time to build a campaign.

With Bill around, this is just like House of Cards!
 
Pretty safe to say I won't be voting for Bernie Sanders (if I vote at all) since taking some time to research him. Going with Ron Paul's son, but sadly I doubt he stands a chance. It's not a fucking multi party system, it's a fucking dems vs repubs gameshow. As long as America has the same broken 2 party system I think things are just going to stay the same no matter what side of the political spectrum you're on.
