What's the draw to Trump?

I don't get it. And yes, I full understand there is a lot that I don't get. But, why? Why support that guy? It's hard to listen to him speak without wanting to jab nails into my ears.

    Perhaps you missed it but he is going to make America great again. It's on his hat.

    Agreed, the establishment sucks. But shit. Can't we find someone who is anti establishment, articulate, and who isn't a total prick? Maybe, I don't know, maybe my guy could ride into the Whitehouse on his unicorn.

    When Donald Trump makes a decision as president I believe he will be making it with the countries best interests at heart. I won't agree with much of what he does but I'll know why he's doing it. Bernie is the only other candidate like that.

    There's also the bonus of sticking it to the democrats if Hillary gets the nomination.

    What the fuck would possess you to think that?

    Who else would you support?

    Rubio - Weak, wants amnesty, has no identity

    Kasich - I liked him until he decided democracy only works when you benefit. Had Romney campaign for him, he's obviously part of the establishment

    Cruz - Likes to tell people he isn't bought by special interests. However, two $1 million campaign loans disagree. Condescending prick.

    Clinton - Fake, insincere, incompetent, campaign message "Vote for me, because I'm a woman, and I love blacks and tolerate Mexicans". The most highly bought candidate in the field.

    Sanders - I actually like the guy as a person and even as a neighbor, but his policies would have a devastating impact on this country. We don't have the financial infrastructure to support a socialistic economy.

    Trump - Has his issue too. He has no filter, and shows hypocrisy. He wants to stop the same loopholes he has taken advantage of for years. Kind of hard to have credibility in that area.

    Trump is a total wildcard, but at least I know he isn't going to be a manchurian president like the others we've had since 1988.

    Capitalism 101. If you don't take advantage of every possible advantage for your business, your competitors will, and they'll beat you. Trump can absolutely want to close the loopholes and will, but as long as they're open he needs to take advantage of them to keep his companies competitive.

    Well... It's pretty clear the anti-establishment sucks harder if that's who you hitch your wagon to.

    We need more APAGs in America. Less Hondos and d2ds.

    Hillary is such a cunt. Just wanted to put that out there. Just heard her bitch about "corporate executives" who are overpaid. The same ones she has taken millions from in speaking engagements. What a giant douchhole.

    Easily the most disingenuous candidate on either side. A very rich power hungry establishment candidate completely devoid of even the slightest hint of integrity who will pander for every single vote. A truly modern democrat.

    This is the appeal:

    Politics is chess, but some Americans feel like a checkers player who can punch the opponent and make them admit the game of chess is faggy would be best.

    People that feel like that vote for Trump.

    When you feel like your down and out and there's no one that can help. Why not hitch your wagon to an egotistical ego maniac who could care less about anyone but himself. Makes sense to me.

    It's actually position the left historically supports, except when Trump says it. Trump might actually be a Democrat and I don't care.

    This. Wiff a bullet.



    Given how Unleashed circa '04 and '08 played out, I find it fucking scary how much we perceive the things similarly today.

    And I see things differently from both of you this time, but I still love you both (self $150K). Now never bring up Unleashed 08 again. Fuck.

    If Trump wins, I'm moving to Guadalajara to start a new photography career.

    The draw is he's a unified outlet for poor uneducated unskilled fat white losers to give a big collective "fuck you" to the system.

    That's all it ever was.
