This guy scares the hell out of me. He is getting more and more support for his un-PC gimmick, and he may have a shot at this whole thing. You guys keep saying he won't get the nomination or he won't win the general election but he has come this far with doubt behind him. If he can somehow get swing voters, we're screwed.

You're telling me, the government is going to not allow Fords to be sold in America unless they bring all of their jobs back to America?
You're taking crazy pills.
God bless America, and God bless the upcoming president of the United States, Donald Trump!
Don't mind me asking, but are you genuinely pumped and supportive of Trump, or just being satirical?

Ever since the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage, I've been listening to AM talk radio for grins. This is basically how they all discuss things all the time.

I feel like Trump went full Opposite Costanza with how normal Politicians deal with things.
It really is impressive to see.

donald trump is not going to be the next president.
it will not happen.
I was positive he wouldn't win the primary, I guess it's possible he could since this is the weakest Republican field maybe ever, but if he's served up to Hillary he will be demolished.
God bless America, and God bless the upcoming president of the United States, Donald Trump!

It's getting harder and harder to tell everyday on this site.
You're stuck in a paradigm that is imposed by big money. ' You can't do this, we can't do that'
Just so the Ford CEO and his buddies can keep sniffing lines of cocaine bought by a fraction of all the money they save by exploiting workers in foreign countries.
It is possible to pressure companies, government used to do this all the time until they got bought out by the market.
Government can put heavy import tariffs on cars produced overseas.
No. Do you not understand how taxes on trade work? trade policy? It's possible for the government to deincentivize building your factories abroad. A lot of American companies are dodging taxes and doing tax inversions. He's not a crazy person for saying it's an issue.

It isn't anywhere near that simple. It involves renegotiating trade agreements with the countries you put tariffs on or they'll respond in kind and limit the market for our exports. Plus, decreasing competition almost always has a negative effect on the market as well.
There are much better ways to do it that are no where near as difficult.

The liberal hive on GAF isn't as big as you think it is outside of here...
Bernie Sanders is also for this AFAIK.
I don't necessarily think it's a great idea but admittedly global economics is above my pay grade.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Swing voters are the main reason he won't win. If he was polling this well in June of next year, I'd be sweating a little. But this is sooooo early in the game. Look back at 2011, we had some pretty out there frontrunners. Being ahead in the polls a full year before the convention doesn't really mean much towards getting the nomination. That is a very long road. Doubly so when we have like 17 other candidates with the same party. The numbers get more interesting when people have to drop out and we see who their supporters end up gravitating to.
But anything is possible. I just don't see Donald coming to the center anytime soon. He's too abrasive for people who lean left, and I don't think most conservatives think he is sincere. He definitely has struck a chord with some folks out there. But he just seems reluctant to attempt to woo voters. It's refreshing, but I can't see enough people buying it.

Yes that's why I can't see your point, I've been brainwashed by big money. That's why I don't think the government will BOYCOTT Ford.
They can. That is actual pressure they can put, and I'd love for any advocating this to put forth an actual plan instead of just shouting.
A TON of Fords are made and produced in America. On this example, by my count, Ford has double the amount of plants in America than in Mexico.'
He said that the government would boycott Ford. That describes nothing that you're talkin about. Yes I understand everything you discussed in a lot of detail. I'm pointing out how silly it is to say "boycott Ford until they bring their jobs back".
Educated republicans are why he can't win the presidency. They know Hillary is a centrist corporatist and they will vote for her because she'll keep the normal economy moving along and the stock market buoyant whereas Donald Camacho will start World War III because he doesn't know that foreigners have translators.

Apparently:
"24 million people watched the debate. 24 million. Did you think they tuned in to watch Jeb Bush?"
LOL.
Can someone forward and reverse this gif so that he is permanently going up and down?
To be honest, I get the sense that Trump thinks America in its current state doesn't deserve nationalism. He wants fix that.
If you don't like to be hit back, don't start the ad hominem war.
You have 0 arguments why it would be impossible for the government to impose pressure (through taxes for example) on US corporations that manufacture outside the US.
Yet, yet you think it's weird. Sounds like imposed bullshit limitations to me.
Free trade is a scam atm, the elite is profiting and you keep opposing any hard hitting solutions. GG

I addressed your point about boycotting a company that manufactures all over the world, which you have conveniently ignored.
As I said above, I would love to see an actual plan instead of shouting. Shouting does nothing but get people to cheer that don't understand. I don't think he has a plan.
So good.God bless America, and God bless the upcoming president of the United States, Donald Trump!
Right and I don't think Trump has a plan either, just wanted to point out that pressuring corporations does work and is possible.
He's gone into all of this though.
"Need to build a wall." -> Mexico will be forced to pay through new trade negotiations. Wall is not all along the border or where geographically unnecessary, and in some places fences will do.
"Obamacare needs to be repealed" -> He's gone into why it's faulty and how it needs competition and bidding. I'm pretty sure he's even said to expand Medicare for those who can't afford to pay. That it can be funded with those sweet foreign deals.
"Iran deal is a disaster" -> He's gone on and on about not including the 4 hostages, the 24-day warning period which would let them hide the nukes, the warning before the inspection warning, etc etc.
"Build up the military" -> Make us a heavyweight so we never have to throw our weight around, support the vets, etc.
You can disagree with his points or to say that he's still not going into enough detail, but to say that he's never expanded beyond a tweet-sized bullet point is just wrong.
You should loan democracy your Gordian knot solution. Why didn't anyone think of this before!?

Yes, the government can put pressure on companies and they can incentvize them in other ways as well. With that said, the united states government will never boycott or threaten to boycott a company as you insisted to bring all of their jobs back. And frankly, no I don't expect a global company like Ford to do that either.
I had said repeatedly going into this campaign season that the GOP primary would be better entertainment than anything written for TV.
Here we are, looking at a campaign appearance that - for anyone else - would be a run-of-the-mill event. And there's a three-page GAF thread for it.
Please stay in, Donald. You're providing entertainment beyond what we expected. Magical.

Eh, he also demanded to know why Jeb Bush hadn't built a wall. You know, the governor of Florida. Trump isn't playing six dimensional chess, he's cheating at Parcheesi.

If you treat this like a skit this stuff is gold.
It's over, this is a replay.
Btw its worth noting that Trump does not use teleprompters, something pretty unique among those running. This is why his speeches can be a bit funky or lack details since hes pretty much rocking everything off the cuff... Obviously hes going to have know these details with or without a teleprompter soon.
