Actually, he wants Mexico to build a wall
boiled goose
good with gravy
Trump has somehow become the best Republic candidate.
He at least seems honest and is not afraid to attack the establishment.
The fact the he is rich already perhaps means he can't be bought as easily.
Misguided? Sure. To me it seems better than systematically corrupt.
I get the feeling he would try to do the right thing, even if he ends up doing the wrong thing.

That's the thing also: Trump doesn't particularly seem beholden to corporate interests beyond his own. I don't get the impression that he's "in the pocket" of one industry or another.
Now I think that his attempt to "do the right thing" would probably be disastrous. general conservatism aside anyone who thinks business experience is going to successfully inform monetary policy is dangerous and someone I want kept away from the whitehouse. But at this moment in time Trump is fucking fascinating
No, the sad thing is that Trump is actually right. Scott Walker's list of accomplishments in Wisconsin range from destroying unions to defunding Planned Parenthood to attempts at mandatory drug testing for welfare.
He's led to an exponential increase in the deficit and actually caused a worse job outlook for the state, while attempting to make conditions for those who do have jobs as shitty as possible.
So yeah, Trump is somehow looking better than the other GOP Candidates.
Exactly. And weirdly enough aside from the immigration insanity he's easily the most liberal. He's for free universal healthcare and gun control and has harshly criticized many decisions and statements by current GOP Candidates.
I actually really hope that Trump gets the nomination now that I think about it. It's absolute insanity. It might even require the GOP to reboot itself.

Yeah, I've realized this too. Immigration aside Trump is actually one of the more appealing of the Republican candidates, surprisingly and hilariously.
Trump's immigration 'policy' (to the extent that he has any policies) is pretty standard fare. It is just his rhetoric that is crazy. He says he wants to (force mexico to) build a wall and offer a path to legal status that requires immigrants to return home and apply through a fast-track process
This is in-line with most comprehensive immigration reform proposals. He explains his position here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R43-aXfassY

Trump is the best POSSIBLE thing that could have happened for Jeb. He gets the hardline social-conservatives away from him and keeps Fox from talking about him. It's the PERFECT storm for him.
Plenty of time to prepare for debates without having to deal with any potential crisis from being in front of the media 24/7.
Agreed. I somehow can't imagine the Koch brothers buying him to get their way. I think he's more interested in wielding power on his own and doing whatever he wants. I think we're seeing that come out now with all these delicious quotes. If he was in somebody's pocket, they'd be telling him to pipe down and toe the line.
I keep seeing this sentiment but I dont know what his policies are about. There's the thing about building the wall but what else has he got? What has he said about jobs, health care, gun ownership, etc?

WOW that was a good one
As long as they use the nWo theme music for every political press conference I'll vote for all of them.

He'll draw a few hardline social and eco conservatives. Basically the idiots that polluted the party in the first place.
But not all of them, not enough to matter.

That's exactly what is so frustrating about Trump. Someone with his enormous fortune and unrivaled egotism is essentially 100% incorruptible. He could do so much good if he was on the other side. A liberal version of Trump would be the best thing ever.

Does Bill Gates fit the role?
impossible. both primaries would be on the same day. what state are you in?

Yeah and that's the worry. His ego would get only bigger as President.
He's actually quite moderate when it comes to dealing with immigrants already in the US. He just threw the wall stuff around to appeal to conservatives; these are the Republican primaries after all. It's refreshing though not to hear the "God and Bible" that comes out of pretty much every other Republican.

I was thinking about how tall the CEOs usually are. Then it struck me how trump was always displayed as a small man in cartoons. I went to the bottom of this and googled this guys lenght and what do you know, the dude is 6'2! Who wouldve thought??
He's about 95% jobs and the economy. Make America great again and all that.
The only way any of them win is if Hillary implodes, so they might as well bank on that happening and do whatever they can to get the nomination.
Has he ever uttered a word about wealth inequality? Or getting money out of politics? I suppose its too much to ask for him to have anything to say on that like Bernie Sanders.

I would never vote for him for the simple reason that he thinks that the Chinese invented global warming to control the world... Right now the most important thing we can do is decarbonize the economy and and implement adaptions in our infrastructure and policies.

But seriously, about damn time he focused on him, and the more light shed on Walker's record the better.
that tweet is actually true
Scott made a mess overthere
Probably not, but he did have this to say about Hilary.

I know Trump said he wanted Single Payer Healthcare like 15 years ago.
But has he also said the same thing this year, 2015, when he's actually attempting to run in the Republican Primary?

Take Madison and Milwaukee away, and the state is very conservative.

Well, you know what they say: Scott Walker is a National Disgrace.

Trump has the subtlety and tack of a... Donald Trump, but policy wise I like him far more than any other candidate democrat or republican. I don't know how serious he is about any of this but watching him kick the rest of the field around is definitely entertaining.
Subtle, but I noticed it.

One of his policies is building a giant wall...

Hillary needs to start a feud with Vince McMahon. She can't let Trump overshadow her on this issue.

Idk, does Bill Gates have the same unabashed arrogance and stubbornness as Trump? We need a billionaire Democrat who's not afraid to give speeches like this.

He doesn't seem to answer anything in his interviews as well. He uses a technique whereby he just talks nonstop to deflect the original question. By 'talks', I mean he rambles and repeats phrases that seem inspired from a Fox News comment section.
