We shouldn't prosecute people for saying hateful things. That's what real freedom of speech is. I think we're in the wrong on this one and Americans have it right.

Okay, seriously...this guy. Just wow. I can only think of a few possible scenarios for Trump:
1. He's a plant for the democrats and is there to sabotage the Republican party and set them back decades.
2. He's the world greatest troll
3. He has a huge amount of contempt for politics and wants to make a mockery of it. See #2.
There's just no way I can believe that he's actually running for president of the USA.

Buy the Collector's Edition to get a small-scale replica of Punished "Venom" Trump's hat!
Obama sent him to hell. But he's going even deeper. Take back everything America's lost.
This is the day Trump got the support of the gaming enthusiast crowd. They get Sanders later, when he's on sale or in the top tier of a humble bundle.
Why stop there, why not give every new born child a gun or make it a law that every US citizen must own a gun?
Yeah, I have faith that American will do the right and smart thing by not voting for him. The guy is a joke.
You will have to shoot me because you're never getting your money back. Mwhahahahaahaha!!

1. No.
2. Not really. No.
3. Yes and No.
He's running and even though he'll be the underdog in the generation election, he still has a good shot at winning considering what's happening in the World right now. I can see his salesman rhetoric doing wonders before the general election and him appealing to a broader audition by toning it down and pandering more to the left.
People need to stop thinking he's at worse a mole or a troll at best. Trump is a real threat.

Every kid, teacher, principal, janitor, lunch lady packing heat. What could possibly go wrong?
Then throw in every fraternity, sorority, dormitory, auditorium, stadium and classroom in the country and you've got the NRA's ultimate wet dream.

Man, this guy is an idiot. Yeah, more guns is the answer! /s Not only would it cause more panic and hysteria, you'd have bullets going everywhere, the police wouldn't be able to see who is the shooter or tough guy with a gun think he is helping.
See this is what pisses me off when I talk to gun nuts. You shouldn't have to think that way. This is not normal in any other western country. This is what people in war torn nations or something akin to that have to worry about.

I'm not sure Americans can appreciate the full hilarity of such statements due to differences in our cultures. I'm picturing one of our German politicians making it one of his primary objectives to allow guns in schools.
Only in Bizarro world would he even get a political platform to speak, let alone be a popular candidate.

Its disturbing that you can find crazy people anywhere and in large numbers. This is about 20,000 people at a pro Nazi/fascist rally in 1939. Maybe more disturbing is how closely Trumps rhetoric echoes these nutjobs.

This isn't just dangerous for the US. If this guy is elected he will put the whole world in danger. Just imagine what he could do with the Middle East. This isn't funny.

People suffering and dying for no reason is funny, especially when they're not American. Lol, haha. Vote Trump.
No, it would definitely be hilarious if he started some international conflict that spiraled out of control. Classic stuff.

Yeah, it was more rhetorical. The support Trump gets when acting like a Tyrant in-the-making is an awful reflection of a large portion of America.

no one is worried, the chances of him winning the general are negligible
If someone that has no knowledge of who this guy is they have to assume this is a complete joke right? This dude can't be serious.

I told my cousin several months ago that this was a real possibility. She laughed and said I was crazy. But presidential elections are about the personalities and he has not charisma than his peers and that alone makes him viable because people who are engaged vote, and people who are outraged at their choices generally stay home on election day.
I personally loathe Hillary as a candidate. I see her as divisive and dangerous for different reasons. In many ways she is unlikeable. Bernie is who I'd like to see take the nom - Biden would have been a lock IMO. But given the likely heading of politics - Trump really has a better than 49% chance to be the next president of the US.
It's funny. I remember people telling me the same about Obama, and how Bernie wouldn't make it this far in the primaries. Some of those quotes are right here on GAF.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to take Trump's words as meaning he'll take away state rights on this issue. The author seems to be inferring something that isn't there.

Trump is a genius at self promotion and media manipulation. He is a real threat.
He's keeping his language very simple and his policies very black and white with little room for misinterpretation because they're so extreme.
He'll pick up alot of grass roots support from people that share his extreme views.
As his support grows backing him as the candidate will be the only viable option for the party. The only other option will be you backing an alternative candidate with little to no support from the voters. Will you waste your vote or side with Trump?
Trump is playing this perfectly whether you agree with his views or not.
Interesting times ahead!

This gun-free zone rhetoric is pretty disgusting when you think about the Giffords shooting. A US Representative was nearly assassinated, 6 people were killed and 19 wounded by a shooter who wasn't in a gun-free zone, and with at least two armed individuals in the crowd. But you know what stopped the shooter? A couple of unarmed men (and a woman) tackled him to the ground. And then were almost shot by one of the armed bystanders in the confusion and struggle for his weapon. The other never even drew his weapon.
Encouraging civilians to go all vigilante on suspected shooters doesn't stop mass shootings, it ends up having idiots open fire at shoplifters at Wal-Mart because they think they're going to be a fucking hero. It is literally one of the most disgusting and dangerous bullshit rhetoric in politics today.

With a Republican house and a republican Senate and a likely chance to nominate a justice, Trump could do decades of irreversible damage.
