But where is your sense of humor? You take things he says as a joke in the wrong way. Who is your candidate, Bush? lol

And as for being smart, the only way we can judge that is by your posts.

I find honesty refreshing beside of the rest of the pack. You want someone you can control. That's not a leader. And what is wrong with a president having a sense of humor? He is the least mean spirited of most of the candidates running. You just don't like his lack of PC. I love his lack of PC. If America is ever going to be anything near to what it used to be the communistic PC needs to go.

Seriously, one stranger on the internet or more say something about someone and the herds of people supporting that person turn and go in a different direction?

If Donald Trump can stand on the debate stage without resorting to pounding the crap out of some of the other mouthy candidates, I think he is very emotionally and mentally stable. I have seen him on youtube at the rallies and he exercises great patience with the rude people in the audience.

While I have great sympathy for those supporting obvious losers, it is their choice to do that. "Anti-Trump" threads smell of frustration, desperation and envy.

Come on over to the winning side! Trump 2016.

It's not what Trump says about the other candidates. It has to do with the fact that he didn't even UNDERSTAND the nuclear triad question at the last debate! Trump gets his news about the economy, international crisis, etc., from the same sources you and I get the news. You think you could step into the role of President on day one, after being a spectator your entire career before you take the oath. Of course, if elected, he will get daily briefings, but the reality is, in this day and age, there is no such thing as "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as President."

We will all be embarrassed when Carly gets elected. We can all say, dam, never saw that coming.

Look, pal..I Never "Lock on" ...get attached to Any political candidate. I don't need a phD to realize 'They' All have been shaved by a drunken Barber.

When I stated my approval of Trump, more than once, it was before he exposed his Dark side, at least to the degree he has done so, recently.

If you accept Trump telling you he was Liberal, approved of Gay Marriage, of abortion, etc. etc.....But, does Not Now.....then, accept that I too, have changed my mind.....because more is clear now, than was so, a few months ago.


And BTW, mind-sets as yours, also give "pause."

"Most rational people" won't back away, aren't backing away and more are turning their support to Trump.

Don't worry OP and ignore those who are bashing you for changing positions

At least you thought about it. Some just blindly follow their leaders and never question anything.
I suggest you regroup on who is being bashed in the thread. I have noticed the anti-Trumps, when not throwing insults at Trump, are applying all kinds of insulting names to the Trump supporters while at the same time, insulting Trump for doing the same thing toward his adversaries. So second grade.

I have a great sense of humor. I think the last flap over the "shoot someone" statement is just faux outrage. BUT, Trump has a pattern of demeaning anyone that does not agree with him. They are stupid, ugly, a loser, washed up, etc., That is a sign of a bully and someone who cannot relate to people on a "middle class" level. Meaning, Trump is very insulated in his daily life. He surrounds himself with only those people who feed his vanity and are "yes men." Otherwise, he verbally chops you down.

Trump's humor will not translate to an international diplomatic presence. Trump is a brilliant businessman, but he is NOT a qualified leader in the political sense. He will fail and we do not need an ego with no working knowledge of government to take off the training wheels when the world is on fire and our economy is just teetering on stability.

He is doing fine. At least, he doesn't belong to a group that wants to kill gays and is focused on the end times that he can't fill out the needed paperwork regarding loans like Cruz. Give up, Cruz is finished and God willed that so.

But, after the Wild, Crazy talk from Trump, recently ...... Any sapient, rational adult must question Donald Trump's personal Mental and Emotional Stability ...

AS I have, I am truly Sad to say, regarding Donald Trump support for POTUSA, I back Away.
Off the wagon? Again? This is what, your 5th time that you swayed from slobbering over Trump to hating him and back again?
