He has said that "everything is negotiable". Not saying good or bad but that is what Americans have been calling for the past 25 years...compromise.
If elected he may turn out to be a president who compromises on everything. Good or bad...up to each.

I'll correct that for you...

'He stands for absolutely nothing, including political correctness - no principles, no beliefs and completely untrustworthy. Do you or anyone here actually know any of his policies, even with the help of Google to find them?'

You are welcome. :nod:

Well worth voting for then. :lol:

He does, I have read them. Interestingly, 'the wall' isn't a new idea, it's been around for a while, but his idea of having Mexico pay for it was a new, and slightly weird, twist.

The rest of his stuff is pretty boilerplate conservative policy. Opposition to the 'status quo', pro 2nd amendment, repeal the ACA. Standard stuff and nothing out of the ordinary. What is more of a concern for me is that while he may appear to take a libertarian stance on things like marriage equality and abortion laws, in reality he wants to make them state issues, rather than federal ones, so each state could form its own laws. We could see a lot of people get the very short end of a very shitty stick if he was able to enact those kinds of policies. As an egalitarian, I'm firmly against that. I'm all for individual freedom. So I'd argue that while this guy's free to own his gun, then this guy here should be free to marry who he wants, and this woman over here should be free to make decisions regarding her own body without interference from the State.

Don't forget he's also going to: '...do great things, folks. Especially for the <insert demographic>, because we love the <insert demographic>, don't we, folks?!'.

That's terrible! You'd never see any sort of aggressive behaviour from those on the right.

Far more troubling than someone throwing eggs is a certain Republican candidate attacking the Trump University lawsuit judge because he's "Mexican":

Good speach by Clinton calling out all of Trumps crap and statements. All of which are verifiable on video....and yet he tweets afterwards that he never said any of it. He must think it is the 19th century and video clips do not exist. The man is nuts. Seriously.

Trump is the only candidate left or right that has encouraged violence from the podium.

True...and then has the gall to say he doesn't.

Gosh! A lot of MIC establishment stooges posting here - or braindead suckers...! Let's face it: nobody knows what Trump would do as President, whereas we do know what Hillary would do - namely, what she did as Secretary of State: be an enthusiastic enabler of the mass slaughter of civilians. Libya, anyone? Iraq? Syria?
