Donald Trump: They say I could ‘shoot somebody’ and still have support

[smilesammich 10,727]

You can look them up on his site, but many of his views change from year to year, so it's truly hard to pin down what he really believes about anything.

i just spent way to much time on his site. i'm not seeing anything of any substance. i can't do anything but laugh that he is dead on serious about 'the wall'..

As much as I didn't appreciate Trump until this week, I appreciate him even less now. He is a big baby and a tyrant at the same time, kind of reminds me of Kim Jong un. Sorry Donald, but you don't get to dictate who the moderator is going to be, and you don't get to dictate the plethora of other things he seems to think he is entitled to dictate. You don't want to show up that's fine...you're only going to hurt yourself. I can't imagine what a tyrant he would try to be if in power, but and there's the big but, that is why there are checks and balances. So if he was the republican nominee would I take Hillary over him(or Sanders for that matter)? Definitely not, I just hope he doesn't end up being the nominee. But really I'm one of those who are of the opinion that pretty much any GOP candidate would be better than the dems at this point.

Same way and that's why I try to give trump the benefit of the doubt, but objectively he is a tyrant. People like to compare politicians to hitler, but to compare him to hitler is more believable than normal (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/anne-franks-step-sister-says-donald-trump-is-acting-like-hitler-a6838531.html).

I want a politician who is big pro supporter of the 2nd amendment, anti-abortion, anti-capital punishment, pro universal health care.

I'll never find such a person.

With 15 i mean 12 candidates in the republican field you still cannot find a match?

He says he is in it to make America great again but I think he is in it for himself. What has the man not accomplished? More money than most people need, can do anything, go anywhere, controls many people...oh wait there is one thing he is missing, controlling a whole nation. He's a Megalomaniac who would love to have that kind of power. Did you see all the gold in his house?(btw very tacky and tasteless) - obviously he feels like a king.

I would still not compare him to hitler or nazis for reasons I have mentioned in the past. I do not think it is right nor do I think it does history any justice. Yeah I don't think you would find that combination, it's going to be either pro abortion and universal healthcare or anti both. Personally I do not believe abortions should be used as a form of birth control, but I don't think it should be completely banned. I also don't think it should be as widely used as it is today, however. But I'm open to a good (NOT Obamacare) plan that would make healthcare more affordable and accessible to everyone, and I don't believe in capital punishment. I'd be the closest thing you would find. However I'll never be able to run so you can't vote for me

I know some republicans and not one of them likes Trump. However, I also know a few from the deep south and their hatred for hillary is tangible. If you look at them in the right light, from the right angle, you can actually see their hatred take a physical form. Anything to not get Hillary in office will be okay for them.

Seems Bernie and Hilary are tied in Iowa which sort of implies that deep south republican's are not alone in their dislike for her

Nope, can't think of one. The US has made moderate politicians a thing of the past. They don't really exist. If you're a republican you have to love guns, if you're a democrat you have to hate one. This is so stupid, the entire system.

I really also hate Biden for not running. He would have curb stomped Hillary at the polls, I truly believe that. So instead the likely democratic nominee, and president, is Hillary.

it's a new spin on 'shock and awe' drop a bomb for the media to play hot potato with for a news cycle and on to the next one. besides building a wall and tracking muslims, i have zero idea what trump's proposed policies are.

I can actually hear the NPR anchors sigh when they go through the latest Trump induced drama - twice I've heard them end with "..which he does to steal all available news time and as you can see with this story he has once again successfully accomplished"

it certainly is embarrassing. i thought we couldn't sink any lower than the palins. turns out we aren't even sinking, we're furiously digging to get as deep as possible as fast as possible..

So.. I noticed Canada is making pot legal as of April 20th - someone in the government has a good sense of humor

Since Colorado made it legal there have been some events that have moved there (such as the nerd swingers sci-fi ball) Canada is already forecasting up to 5 billion in additional tax revenue, i wonder how much they could get from additional tourist dollars??

I ask because a lot of Americans are going to need some escapism vacation after November 7th...

Trump has displayed a unique ability to set the media's agenda of what to talk about. I can't think of any other presidential candidate, present or past, who has been able to do that.

huh. i didn't know that. good call canada.

the whole legalization thing is a no-brainer. the way that states oversee alcohol sales/collect revenue is completely unique to the state, what they collect in licensing/issuing salesman permits down to taxing what's shipped into the state or taxing what distributors sell within the state (not to mention the additional revenue when the sale is made at the consumer level). we are seriously, seriously missing out on a great deal of revenue in clinging to a long gone 'reefer madness' notion and absolute lie that is "marijuana is a dangerous schedule one substance". it's going to take some time but eventually it will be legal in all us states, and each state will have their own hoops for sellers to jump through and collect their tax. but they will be making some serious bank. let's just hope they make it quick enough to save our infrastructure.

oh and i have faith that the electoral college will trump the will of the drooling masses.

pun intended.
