Is Donald Trump going to be the next US President?

2016-03-02T01:31:48-05:00

This is a binary question. Feel free to give your opinion for why or why not, but please be sure to include a clear yes, or no. I wholly expect to hear a wide range of varying opinions as to the veracity of a Trump administration....but what I'm asking at the moment is...Yes. Or No.

Trump will clearly be the Republican nominee. There's a chance he beats Clinton in the general election, but its a small chance.

Short answer is "no." Here's why: I don't think Trump was a broad enough base of support to take the General Election. He'll get some of Cruz and some of Rubio when they drop, but the more moderate Republicans are going to look elsewhere. On the other side, regardless of whether it's Clinton or Sanders, the vast majority of Democrats are going to fall in line behind the Democratic candidate. Right now, I suspect the General election will end up being Clinton 55% to Trump 43%.

I think many undecided democrats and independents are going to take a ride on the Trump Bullet Train because they are tired of waiting for the trolley establishment to change their lives.

Trump is going to do the one thing Democrats would love to see and that is destroy the GOP as we know it. It's been having issues since the Tea Party came along, but there was "some" common ground. With Trump he clearly grabbed the Tea Parties playbook and took it to the next level. The Old Guard of the GOP weren't ready being they've been in control for so long, they figured he'd play himself out. They realized entirely too late that he's for real...as a candidate. I believe that no matter how good Trump is, when it comes to the convention, it won't be as cut and dry as it will be for the Dems. The GOP will have to pick someone and it'll be Rubio. That will be their meal ticket to protect themselves. Trump will not take this lying down and he's already mentioned on numerous occasions he's going to run on a third party ticket is he's not the nominee. It's also been widely reported that should he do that, it's a wrap for the GOP this cycle, and they stand a very good chance of loosing the House and Senate. Trump won't stand a snowballs chance in hell against Hillary. You're talking to a professional liar, and who's resume like it or not, is solid position wise. She won't come with the bombastic claims to doing things Trump has, and even though she won't do as she claims, she'll "sound" more "Presidential". Trump is playing a game that no one can beat him at...at least on the GOP side. It's going to destroy the RNC leadership once this is over with. There will be a BIGGER divide between the old, the middle, and the new. I have no skin in this game, so I can speak without bias, but Trump will not be president, should he get the nod from the GOP, Hillary will be in office 17Jan17. For all those who think Hillary did wrong with the email server (I'm with you), if she isn't indicted soon, or in the judicial process soon, there will be no point in going after her. I firmly believe she did know what was on there, and also knew no one would say anything. To save her should she go to court, it's going to be statements made by Republicans on TV that will shine that shred of reasonable doubt along with the fact that most of the evidence cannot be talked about. So she stands a good chance to me of walking away laughing at Growdy and McConnell being it was McConnell who screwed Growdy with his admission. So to save yourselves, vote for #NOBODY2016. That is the ONE fact you can count on. No Body will have your back. No Body will care, No Body will promise you the world and give you a mini globe for your efforts. No Body loves the military and the vets. Be sure of yourself and protect 'Murica...vote #NOBODY2016. That is where my vote is going.

No. I think a lot of Rubio and Cruz supporters will either vote Clinton or for some odd ball candidate.

No, even with over 50% of the white vote he'll still do worst than Romney. Trump has managed to insult minorities as well as females. Those are the votes that he needs to win in a general election. And I just can't foresee him overcoming such obstacle. I know this minority is not going to vote for a hate fearing warmonger.

When you consider Obama was elected twice based on being black (he isn't) and has a D behind his name, anything is possible. "There is no one so blind, as he who will not see". Thousands of supporters at his campaign events, while not so much for the others.

Whether people like Trump or not is kind of irrelevant. The reality is that the American people have demonstrated that they are tired of the establishment politicians from both parties. For those that study history, very rarely has the pendulum of politics not been constant. The continuously railing against Trump coming from both establishment Republicans and establishment Democrats is EXACTLY what will push independents and center left Democrats to vote for Trump. Personally, I despise Trump, but given the choices, I'll take him over a socialist or a criminal!

I will take Trump everyday of the week over the other choices. Hillary is so crooked and fake. You've seen her in action as the first lady, as a senator and as the secretary of state. We need a person that is not a professional politician and will not worry about political correctness. No more kissing these terrorist states. Over the last eight years America has become a weak and laughable country. Now it's time to stand up and take our place as a dominate country again.

There is only one candidate who is well known for being consistently honest for many years. Unfortunately, he calls himself a Democratic Socialist, and that term is misunderstood.
