Only way Trump wins is if Hilary actually gets convicted for a felony
But that ain't happening
Trump has pissed off too many people at this point

Either way, electing one of these two won't make a difference in America, Congress is too divided so every bill that they bring up won't probably be approved unless the establishment and lobbyists approve, and Hilary and Trump are both annoying loudmouth a-holes
Hopefully a good presidential candidate comes out in 2020

I see your edit. Also no candidate has talked about cutting Social Security so I wouldn't call them stating the obvious as a similarity.

Actually I don't know that any candidate running for public office has ever said, I am cutting Social Security.

That leaves 3 legit similarities although I have never heard Trump mention rebuilding infrastructure before.

They have 2 real similarities in the minds of voters, trade and not being corporate lackeys. Like I said.

anyone that feels comfortable with Trump being POTUS is out of their minds 

we're not talking about hiring the manager of a Burger King 

dislike momma'Hills record and policies all you want but look at the alternative.... you can not with a straight face say Donald Trump is competent enough to run this country 

he has zero experience and lacks the demeanor to be in such a position.... it's obvious to the world 

this isn't a policy election, it's a sanity one.....

The general debates are more focused on policy, yes? That should be Trump's biggest worry.

He's a diet Ninjahood when it comes to answering questions, as countless transcripts of his interviews have shown.

His buzzword, insult and deflection tactics helped him wipe da other republican candidates off da map but will it work in the general election?

"Many people are saying X is very very bad. It is folks, believe me. But I'm gonna fix X and it's gonna be great. You're gonna love it, believe me folks."

Answering questions with his standard formula of buzzwords, fear-mongering and deflection probably isn't gonna cut it. He'll have to actually form in depth and coherent answers about his policies. And while hurling insults worked very well in the republican primary, I doubt it'll have the same effect in the general election.

But I could be wrong, and maybe da Donald ends up short circuiting Hillary in the debates. Either way it's gonna be a **** show

The worst thing about Trump is that he's a question mark, literally most of the positions he's been on other than taxes is some major flip flopping. He will be like I don't like this group one day, and next day he will be like I'm ok with them. There's no clarity in what he stands, he's only a showman who will say anything to get elected.

Trump's formula has been working. The pundits and insiders were not able to predict that Trump would get this far. You don't even live here but you think you can predict the outcome. Right. At the end of the day, Trump has certainly evolved as a candidate but I expect classic Trump zingers with some more specific policy proposals thrown in. He will demolish Clinton. You probably don't know this but before debates candidates have debate prep, usually with stand insurance that act like the opponent. With Trump being so unpredictable, prep is going to be very hard for Shillary. Believe me.

Trump still has da support of Da Heights champ. Don't underestimate the power of an uneducated/disenfranchised Dominican. No doubt in my mind ninjahood has a few tricks up and ideas up his sleeve to help Trump win this election.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Hilary released her tax records...

Where's trump's?!?!

Funny how he railed on The Prez about his birth certificate but won't release tax records.

Ratings challenged @CNN reports so seriously that I call President Obama (and Clinton) "the founder" of ISIS, & MVP. THEY DON'T GET SARCASM?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 12, 2016

this guy is a complete joke. an utter joke. get him all the way off my TV. if he hates the media so much, stop giving him coverage. please.

also he doesn't understand what sarcasm is.

What's funny is supporters of this clown Donald, even the mental gymnastic champions like ninja can't keep up with his bull ****.

So one sec they're seriously defending these claims and then realize they just wasted all of that bull **** and look foolish cuz Donald decides something he said is sarcasm.

This wreaks of desperation. Who the **** comes up with a sarcasm strategy in their speeches at this stage in the game?

 

[rico x hood]

Archaic practice.

Started by Nixon in order to stay on as Eisenhower's VP pick.

But the people would rather seek those Wall Street banks speech transcripts instead of some damn tax returns.

So what I'm hearing that you're upset abouyou a candidate evolving on an issue?

 

[Kimchi Papi]

@ the thought of trump evolving on an issue...

I gave you a rep because that legit made me laugh on a Friday.

 

[stuntman mike]

If Benjamin Franklin Carson doesn't have to show us the knife he tried to murder someone with, da Trump don't have release his tax returns. Ben Carson 2024.

They are both bums, but what makes you think Trump will totally beat Clinton? He used to support Clinton back at 08 lmao, all he's gonna mention is Benghazi and the emails and beat around the bush
Basically the debates will come down to them going around in circles and throwing zingers at each other.

Plus he only won the Repub nomination because the other candidates are total ****s and had no spine to stand up to his insults. Hilary is a b, but she's one shade throwing b.

 

[deleted]

Trump is not going to debate

 

[rillo561]

He will, then turn into a smack DVD and claim it was rigged.

repped.

 

[jape]

can yall seriously tell me why trump won't release his tax records?

stop with the deflecting and laughing emoticons and answer me that.

 

[EddieDoyers]

Trump can't evolve, he's a real life Ditto

 

[Kimchi Papi]

He's using loop holes & shenanigans so that he pays less taxes than middle class citizens. Somehow he's using losses & bankruptcies to literally pay little or no taxes.

The IRS should really do a massive audit of his taxes so that he can be found out...

Edit - He also plays around with the values of his real estate holdings. For income tax purposes he's been undervaluing them.
