Do you believe Donald Trump will win the presidency?

[amanda1983]

Of course not. I still have a little faith in humanity.

Ditto.

Trump as US president might make for a good movie : an interesting look into American culture and modern society dressed up with crazy hair & that special mix of hate speech/nonsensical patter only Trump can pull of so (apparently) sincerely.. But not for real life, please.

I do not want to see Trump become president. I'm left-wing but I'm not opposed to right-wing government as long as they act responsibly. "Trump acting responsibly" would be an hilarious oxymoron - if he weren't this far into the election. I just rewatched the John Oliver piece that aired on the 28th of February and it remains a reasonably thorough summary of my issues with Trump.

This couldn't be more accurate about Trump:

I doubt Trump would be as threatening as his words make him sound he would. Unlike Obama (who violated the constitution several times), Trump can't do anything he says if Congress doesn't approve of him. Even the Republicans in Congress would rather have a Republican other than Trump or Cruz.

And sorry if this sounds off-topic, but I just added these weird apple tags to the thread just for fun. Donald Trump is way worse than a rotten moldy apple. And fresh apples are better than anyone running for president in 2016.

Huh? If you think Obama is going around Congress to ignore the constitution, then what do you think would stop Trump from doing the same?

I don't know how to answer this one, but I can give another reason why Trump can't do what he said he would do. Whatever he says are unrealistic and outlandish while Obama's words and actions were realistic and not as outlandish, but it doesn't make Obama a good person.

Donald Trump has a lot more people at his events than Hillary. It is Likely that he wins depends what happens to Hillary.

It's still hard to tell who's gonna win now between Trump and Hillary. The fact that we were left with these two shows that a nightmare has come true.

People at events does not equal votes on election day. Trump picks bigger venues for his events to get more publicity, but ultimately he has to win over people who don't show up at his events if he wants to win the election.

Red Cat is right this time. Just because more people show up at one's convention doesn't mean that person is gonna win.

This is a statement I can agree with completely. Though I'd use either both first names or both surnames lol.

Actually, marrying twice is not considered a sin in the Bible to my knowledge, but cheating on your wife is, so he still technically went against what he says even though he's getting so many right-wing Christians from the South. That surprises me when you consider that he's owned so many strip clubs and casinos.

True true, but Mattew 5:31-32 says this:

“It has been said, ‘Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.’[a] 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."

Yes, I have faith in our future king and lord, Donald Trump.

ALL HAIL TRUMP

This isn't even funny anymore. It just straight up freaks me out.

You cannot win with the straight white male vote alone. He does not have a chance.

Oh right, I forgot about that.
But seriously, how is a strip club owner that has claimed to have had sex with countless women getting the Christian vote, especially in the heavily religious South?

Because many southern whites only pretend that religion is their biggest issue. Religion is secondary to treating women and minorities like second class citizens in the deep South.

He does have a chance the polls could be rong.

I don't know what I think so I won't vote, there was a part of me that thought he might but that part also had a weird feeling, so if he does, I personally hope not but if he does I hope he chose his VP well he may need that help. On the other hand I don't personally want either to and wish with our interconnected world we could all come together and say we don't like these choices the parties don't represent what they used to so no one votes until we agree on our pick for an independent 3rd party choice together and in unison say time for a change. But that would take more than me to say we don't like either choice let's all show them by not voting untill we decide what we want to change and have a third party again which hasn't happened since the Whigs or Teddy Roosevelts shot at Bull!oose. I mean there have been independent runners but not well organized with a people's party type backing. So idealist perhaps, whoever wins I really don't like either side...sad when I dont want to vote either way and many I know agree. Again just my opinion so please respect if your for one or the other than more power to you. Peace.

How exactly are you going to "show them" by not voting? The results count the same for 100 or 100 million people voting. The reason we have these two candidates is because people didn't show up and vote during the primaries. If everyone who hates both Clinton and Trump had actually gotten off of their asses and voted for Bernie Sanders or another Republican, then Clinton and Trump wouldn't be the only choices. But they didn't, so now it's either one or the other. All people can do at this point is pick the lesser of two evils, and if you think one is a lesser evil, then I highly encourage you to get out and make that choice, otherwise other people will make that choice for you just like other people chose the nominees for you.
