The left of America should worry about Trump

"It works for Scotland" Donald said referring to Scottosh healthcare.

Now the left in America might find Trump fun. Stupid or vacuous but they've seemingly not noticed how he's selling to the middle. I find it interesting; Trump seems more about working with others (although he believes hes usually right) and pragmatism.

I half feel Trump has been chased to the right by a left who would not back Obama's 2008 version of himaelf. I don't like him or support him but hes no ideologist; quite the opposite. For the left in America laughing at him; I don't thibk they've noticed he's on Romney's left.

Trump isn't built for this, I don't think anyone should be genuinely concerned about him ever being president.

Trump is an openly racist and misogynist piece of garbage. He's not going to steal many votes at all on the left if he runs in the general.

But he's making waves on the right, and raising a shitload of uncomfortable questions for them.

There isn't any reason you should be scared of Trump specifically. The only thing you should be scared of is a story coming out in the middle of next year that Hilary Clinton killed a guy in the 80s and paid to cover it up.

My only worry is that shuts down and embraces the republican candidate.

As long as he's out there being a nitwit, a democratic victory is assured.

If he runs as a third party candidate, democrats will be dancing in the streets.

Didn't he say last night that he specifically wouldn't do that?

His racism, misogyny and homophobia preclude him from being any credible threat. The only people who should worry are republicans because he's splitting their base.

Considering his website doesn't even has his positions on policies than no I don't think anyone should be concerned.

That's neither how you spell "Scottish" nor how the Scottish healthcare system works, which, importantly is actually just the National Health Service and is the entire UK's system, which the conservative government is trying to dismantle by hamstringing it on purpose and then pointing out it doesn't work by using the stuff they broke as examples.


The left doesn't need to worry about Trump, he'll flame out because he's an assclown and can't help himself.

Once the debates start getting into real issues and policies, Trump is going to get eaten alive by the professional politicians. It has been entertaining though. I do appreciate his anti-politician style even if I don't agree with him on a lot of things.

Are you kidding me? If he wins the Republican nomination its like ALL of my Christmases coming at once! We're talking a 1964 style blowout. It will be the Biggest, Classiest, electoral defeat the Republicans will have had in years. You're gonna love it!

No one who knows about how these elections go is going to worry. Even if he gets the repub nom, he'll NEVER be president. Never. But man will the election be entertaining!

Arnold won in liberal California. I don't think Trump winning is completely out of the question. America loves celebrities.

Yeah would never vote for the man in a million years but I do like his complete "Fuck it" attitude about pretending to be a politician and essentially just being an actor on a stage.

Would never dream of voting for him though

It's the right who is worried about Trump.

Trump is bound to eventually flame out but he'll talk mad shit about the GOP candidates as he's doing it.

Trump could be exposed as a pederast, nazi, who wants to re-instate slavery into the union and he would still have a percentage of Americans who would vote for him because, at least he's not a woman, but man...that's such a tiny percentage of American's that I don't get how anyone could have any perception that he might be the next President. He will likely win the GOP primaries, but come on,the guy is basically a walking pile of shit. No sane person will vote for him.

You realize the two aren't mutually exclusive correct?

He's being sarcastic. No one responds to "Trump likes to diddle kids" with "hey, at least he's honest about it".

His birth certificate BS will put him under quickly, aside from... well there's so much about him that's unelectable as a president.

His current popularity, and the RNC sees it, is how he's fucking over any possibility that the R's will be treated seriously with their ideals for this election. The more crazy and the more he exposes the ridiculousness of the party as they currently are, the worse they'll be seen when it comes to the real election.

I'm a bit concerned he's going to win. I've heard too many people(mostly middle aged) saying they like him because he's "real" and "tells it like it is". I think he has a legitimate chance, and I find that a little disconcerting.

Leftists such as myself love him for what he truly truly represents: Chaos in the Republican primaries. He won't be the nominee but if he is, it can only help the Democrats win by larger margins, and this is far more important than many of you believe. Large margins means more wins in the legislature. Winning big there means an easier time passing meaningful laws.
