dakota44 doesn't like conservatives (god forbid we exist), doesn't like to be contradicted, and is generally a bit clueless as noted in other threads. Probably a lovely bloke, otherwise

Awww. Really? You are so pitiful. By the way...I do not have an issue with all conservatives...just the radical and irrational ones .... like you.

The media has handed Trump millions of free advertising by virtue of covering him so much that it dominated election coverage at the expense of every other candidate. Not to mention that the idiotic statements that endlessly flowed from his clearly disturbed brain ... deserved the harshest criticism possible.

Whatever happened to youthful questioning of authority and orthodoxy? Has BE's younger generation abandoned all willingness to doubt what they're told by their "betters"?

Trump's and Sanders's main attraction is not their respective policies but the bare fact that they offer themselves as alternatives to the mindless corruption espoused by all the other candidates. As the two major parties are learning, there is a rebellion "out there". It is being cleverly led by the two front-runners, whose supporters to a large degree don't care what their policies are. They are voting for their heroes out of rebellion; that's all.

If Trump is allowed to be the Republican nominee (meaning, if the powers that be don't assassinate him), he would beat Clinton very comfortably, because many Sanders supporters would switch to Trump. Yes, indeed: so-called socialists would prefer the rude capitalist than the corrupt establishment stooge. Make no mistake: this election is putting "the establishment" on notice that their days are numbered. Hence the very real fear of an assassination. Will that happen? It's better than even money, in my book.

Agree with this

So many smug types on this thread, all desperately trying to convince themselves and each other Trump doesn't have a chance when the numbers contradict this on a daily basis. I was watching CNN earlier and the numbers they had showed a 1 point difference between Trump and Clinton in Pennsylvania, how is that even possible when according to liberals and the general anti Trump crowd, Trump had absolutely no hope of taking a place like this? Don't get me wrong, I don't want Trump but Clinton? God help us

I would take Clinton any time over Trump, but I don't think Trump has no chance; I'm very, very concerned that he WILL win. The next few months will be very interesting to see how things play out. Clinton has been the target of right wing hit jobs for decades, so I'm hoping she's battle-hardened in that regard. Trump is relatively 'new' and there's plenty of opportunities for him to be exposed. Time will tell.

You're sounding like a tried-true Brit, exercising your "moan entitlement".

Can't stand Corbyn, hates Cameron. Osborne has "ruined" the economy. Farage is a loudmouth nutter, Boris is Trump's brother. All the rest are wimps. Everything is shite.

Trump is bad. Clinton is bad. All of them are bad...

...but not one peep suggesting anything "good" as an alternative, nor any way forward. We're doomed...

Standard-issue British moan.

Clinton has been partly responsible for about a million civilian deaths, Trump for none. Why would you prefer an apparent psychopath over a mere loud-mouth? What if we all brought that reasoning to our everyday lives?

That is typical ill informed crap. Dig another overused and ridiculous criticism out of your bag.

Really, all you're saying here is that Clinton has held high office in the U.S. Government and Trump never has. And the idea of someone running for president who has never held senior military or civilian government offices (or been a legislator) is certainly novel. Not sure it's an experiment we should be embarking on...
