Yes.

No.

Why would I want another rich white dude as president?

I think the whole Trump candidacy is all some kind of screwy bet between he & Regis Philbin. He probably bet that no matter how f'ed up the things he says are, he could still become President.

The number of people who made the right choice made me smile.

You misunderstand. I don't want him as president. I'm just going off of what that title said--I'm curious to see how far he gets, how far it goes. It makes me weep in despair he's currently the front runner, but you can't say there's no entertainment value (including hate-watching) with his antics.

I didn't say you want him as president I said I don't. I find nothing entertaining about any of this. It's actually terrifying. If people don't take the presidential election seriously they deserve a terrible president.

I heard he spoke in Alabama & it pretty much turned into a "White Power Rally". He's becoming more & more dangerous. Unfortunately, no one in the media will call him out for it. They're still playing this like the circus it is, but it's only a matter of time that the lions break loose and it becomes a catastrophe.

TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT!......simply for the sake of comedy haha.

Realistically tho I have always despised the Republican party in U.S politics. So as long as it's not Trump or Bush(shudder) I'll be happy

Right, because we get such great ones when people do "take it seriously"

So Escobert, what is so bad about Bernie Sanders? I'm genuinely curious, not being American.

Really. I have never hoped someone would win the US elections so much as I'm rooting for Bernie right now.

[Del Murder]

I signed up to campaign for Bernie Sanders yesterday. I've never contributed time or money to a political campaign in my life.

That's awesome. I would also like to encourage anyone who voted for him in the poll to do the same - Clinton has the support of big business and wealthy donors so Bernie Sanders needs all the grass roots support he can get to stand a chance.

He's a self professed socialist who has never held a real job. He also says he's from Vermont which he most certainly is not.

and bernie doesn't need any help on the campaign trial. The unions have backed him which is bigger money than a lot of candidates.

[Del Murder]

You do know he's currently a US Senator right?

Edit: replying to bert

[Slothy]

He's a self professed socialist

Which isn't actually a problem considering almost every country that's a social democracy has been doing better than the US in almost every measure for years now. Well, except measures like income inequality, number of prisoners incarcerated, murder rate, and people going bankrupt due to a lack of adequate healthcare coverage, but you're more than welcome to remain ahead of us in those categories.

who has never held a real job.

Can someone explain to me why being a Mayor and Senator don't count as real jobs? Being paid money to run towns and make law as a senator isn't important? Somehow it's less desirable than someone who worked a regular old 9-5 for a corporation or small business? Perhaps more importantly, how would working a so-called "real job," prepare someone for working in politics or being President? There's no mysterious knowledge to be gleaned from it that can't be found anywhere else. Not to mention having actual experience in legislature is probably a good thing for a President to have. Hell, plenty of President's do before they win and they still cock things up. And running government like a for profit business as some Republicans seem bent on advocating would be a terrible idea. It's not a business and shouldn't run like one. And even if we judge it on those grounds, the Republicans have historically been pretty damn awful economically. Unless you think out of control budget deficits is a good thing, which you shouldn't if you want government run more like a business.

And for the record, the man was about 37 years old when he entered politics. And it wasn't for another ten years that he even held any political office. If you're suggesting someone who had a six or seven year gap between his finishing University and starting in politics never had a real job then I'll call bulltrout on that one. Just because you don't know what he did doesn't mean his employment history begins when he started running for political offices.

He also says he's from Vermont which he most certainly is not.

I'm pretty sure since he's been there since 1968 we can probably let that slide. I say I'm from the city and province I live in now, largely because I've been here longer than the other places I've lived combined and I never actually felt any connection to the others. Big whoop.

and bernie doesn't need any help on the campaign trial. The unions have backed him which is bigger money than a lot of candidates.

If you believe the unions have provided him with more campaign money than someone like Hilary Clinton, or most of the Republican candidates have received from actual billionaires I'm fairly certain that is objectively false. Perhaps someone knows where to find the numbers on that. I remember seeing them somewhere but I don't have the time to hunt for them right now.

So do you have any actual problems with him or is this it?
