Make america great again

[thesparten]

Trump is just a showman with no real plan.

He is doing well right now because many people are sick of politicians and their usual BS rhetoric, and appreciate someone who appears to cut through the BS and tell it like it is.

The problem is that Trump really has no solution to the problems he talks about, and in many cases he talks about things in overly simplistic terms, which sound good on the surface but would be very complex and problematic to actually reform.

I believe that his initial decision to run for President was just a gimmick to get attention (and stay relevant in the public eye), and then he accidentally stumbled into high poll numbers and thought, "Wow, how great would it be if I actually got elected?"

That's why he was super-outrageous at the beginning, but has since toned it down some.

My fear with Trump is that he will have absolutely no clue how to be President, which is a completely different challenge than running for-profit corporations. I feel he will end up being an embarrassment to America, and screw up a lot more things than he fixes.

Now, if we had a straight-talking politician who actually possessed the skills to be President, AND had a good plan for America, then I wouldn't mind some bluster or controversy in his public statements. In fact, they would be refreshing.

But simply grabbing attention and saying what certain people want to hear doesn't make someone a good Presidential candidate.

Trump is also winning at the moment because the Repubican side has failed to put up an exciting candidate against him. I complained about this long before Trump entered the picture. While other Republican friends were fawning over Rubio, Cruz, and/or Walker, I smelled danger for the party.

Pooh, I am not at all a RINO. You know that. I just don't support crappy candidates.

Were you shocked at Boehner quitting? There is a reason for that. I don't know exactly what sparked it, but I could suspect that if Trump wasn't a front runner in this thing that Boehner wouldn't have stepped down. I mean this is a major seed change and not to be taken lightly. Whatever those dynamics are, they don't fare well for the Republican establishment politicians. The only thing I can make of any of it from the polls is that the top 3 candidates are all non politicians; Trump, Fiorina and Carson. From what i'm hearing from the Right is that Boehner was always saying 'we can't do anything about Obama because we don't control the House', well now they do, and the Senate and they still haven't done shit about him.

100 percent right. A non establishment republican will win..

The support is overwhelming for them even among moderate democrates and ever growing self described liberals..only the progressive agenda and narrative gets out..those in the know are very aware of that..

Whether its fiorina or trump is up for grabs. Carson is out but a very respectable man and intelect..
