Trump is a populist.  His one ability is to convince large numbers of disparate and even opposing groups that he is really on THEIR side.
Trump is a jackass.

Hard to disagree but I'd vote for Ric Flair over Hilary.

Once again remember that I voted for Rubio but maybe Trump looks so good to some because of his competition.

Captain Obvious would clearly be an improvement over Trump.

I'm starting to think CurtOne has a good point (yeah I said that) about Trump just being a Republican party troll.  How does anyone take this guy seriously?  Is he just running just to make some point about how many backwoods racists there still are in this country?

This man who has such a superior intellect, such great command of current issues and is surrounding himself with the best advisors doesn't know who David Duke is and doesn't have advisors who might be able to clue him in on David Duke?  Seriously?

Maybe it's because I'm neither old nor southern, but I didn't know who David Duke was.

Likely cause your too young, I'm 39 and 1991 was around the time that I first started following politics so it was one of the first elections that I heard about.  Duke vs Edwin Edwards would be a lot like Trump vs Clinton.  Somebody made bumper stickers in support of Edwards, "Vote for the crook, it's important."

I must also be young.  I remember Duke from one of the elections, but who is Edwin Edwards?

The Democrat that Duke ran against.  16 years as Louisiana Governor, 10 years in federal prison.

But I assume you know what the KKK is?
