      I love Trump for his incredible views and conspiracy theories. They've included:
      - Ted Cruz's dad was involved in killing JFK
      - Obama is an ISIS Manchurian-candidate
      - Obama was not born in the US
      - China invented "Climate Change" to sabotage the US economy
      - Thousands of Muslims were openly celebrating in NY after 9/11
      - McCain is not a war-hero because he was captured

      He's great. I think I've laughed at Trump more often so far this election cycle than I laughed at Bush W in his entire term in office, and I laughed a lot at him.

      And, of course, the ongoing hilarity of his tax-returns are themselves great: eg. Donald Trump Bragged to Press He Made a Fortune in 1984, Told the IRS It Was Zero

        You also have to love the way in which he flip flops on nearly every issue, dependent upon which way the wind is blowing, and his followers either don't understand that they are being conned, or they just don't care. I'm having a really difficult time in deciding which one it is.

          His followers seem to be the most gullible people in the entire world. The dictionary's definition of "con man" needs to be redefined as "Donald Trump" and its definition of "gullible" as "Trump's followers". No wonder he says "I love the poorly educated, bigly."

            Well that is why I said we can shelter them in place. We need to carve out a large area in Syria and build safe encampments. And the other fact is that if you look at Europe Muslims to a large degree are just not assimilating and that is real.

            Never mind the real dangers:

            Security authorities are growing increasingly concerned by the rising number of sex attacks by gangs of migrants which appear to be spreading across Europe.

            Finland and Sweden today became the latest European countries to issue warnings to women to be wary of the threat of sex attacks following fresh reports of sexual assaults in the last week, while the Viennese police chief adviced women not to go outside alone in Vienna.

            The warnings come as reports emerged that Austrian and German police tried to cover-up the issue over fears of reprisal attacks on asylum seekers and damage to the countries' tourist trade.

                Yet most of you liberals will vote for one of the most corrupt, Wall Street owned politicians who has come down the pike. Who never accomplished one thing of note and only got where she is on the coat tails of her husband. Let's hope that the information on her that Julian Assange is about to release puts her in prison where she belongs.

                  I think anyone who voted for her in the primaries was indeed gullible / ignorant / stupid / misguided / not-following-politics etc.

                  She is on course to be the second most-disliked nominee a party has ever nominated since polling of that kind of thing began (1980), and she's disliked for very very good reason. Hopefully she will be indicted prior to being nominated.

                  Pretty much her only redeeming feature is that there's one candidate in history who's worse than her, who's more wildly disliked than her who's even more of a liar, even more of a crook, and even more of a con-artist than she is, who's been prosecuted for tax evasion hundreds of times, who's worked with the mafia, who is being prosecuted for fraud... and he's running against her.

                    Maybe the most disliked since Trump. She is ahead in the polls by 10%.

                      Well, the only other choice was Bernie Sanders. And while I like Bernie Sanders substantially more than Hillary as a person, I think his policies are even goofier than Hillary's.

                        Obviously the polls on Hillary's likeability have little to do with her stances on policy, or her ability to do the job. She did win the primaries after all, and she also just barely lost to Obama in 2008. The dislike is more about image, and the right wing attack machine has been battering that image for decades.
                        Pretty much her only redeeming feature is that there's one candidate in history who's worse than her, who's more wildly disliked than her who's even more of a liar, even more of a crook, and even more of a con-artist than she is, who's been prosecuted for tax evasion hundreds of times, who's worked with the mafia, who is being prosecuted for fraud... and he's running against her.
                        I think you are going a little bit to far Star. Hillary was not my first choice, she's not progressive enough for me, but to think that she is wildly disliked as a canidate is in contradiction to the fact that she beat out a very much liked canidate in Sanders, and, she "leads biggly, believe me" in all the general election polls.
