Watching the Trump rally live. This is how a republic dies.

The opportunity for a 3rd party entry is better now than ever before. Give me a moderate. Agrees with climate change, no wall, doesn't fight guns, has a vision for the economy and jobs, someone likeable and boom! Winner. And no..... Not Bloomberg.

It was dead long ago. He's just pulling the plug.

How is this appealing to anyone? I am listening now and it's a constant stream of word vomit. This is so unbelievably frustrating!

This whole Trump argument that somehow "self funding" is a good thing makes me absolutely insane. If we want our candidates to be self-funding, that means only billionaires will ever be president. And somehow that's an anti-establishment position.

I had high hopes for him. He went wrong when he tried to be like everyone else. He probably felt he needed a shift to be electable, but I don't think it's him.

A traditional "moderate" would be a bad fit for a third party run against Trump and Hillary. They're both statists, meaning the third party candidate would have to be libertarian to make the contrast strong enough.

Watching Trump's word vomit now. I have the greatest words. My words are the best. I talk and talk without actually saying anything. Thirty seconds in, he kicks out a guy who yelled. "Bye bye. Get him outta here. We have great cops. Who loves our cops?!" (crowd roars)

 

[wizards8507]

This moron is promising to personally threaten individual companies and CEOs as President of the United States.

And the crowd has literally beaten up people who have stood quietly in protest. It's truly scary.

I LOL'd at that story. He has an imagination, I'll give him that.

Yea I couldn't tell what the guy yelled, but Trump kicked him out immediately.

The video that surfaced the other day of that girl getting physically pushed around by those old white men was terrifying. She was just standing there and they all attacked her.

All the record number of republican voters that are showing up is because of Trump. If Trump is not on the card I doubt his supporters will show up and vote for anyone else and sadly HRC will win

He really is fascinating. I certainly am not on team Trump but wow, he can really do anything and he gets the people going.

It's good because it means he isn't in bed with a bunch of special interest groups once he gets elected. Of course the way Sanders is doing it is ideal actually being beholden to the voters, but if you can't run your campaign strictly on $27 donations I'd much rather a candidate spend their own money than wall streets.

Self funding means he isn't in bed with any interest groups. It means he IS the interest group!

But it's the biggest classiest interest group in town, baby.
