Would you Vote for Trump?

[Tomorrows_Child]

A very popular topic these days and open to Americans and non-Americans, would you, if Trump was a candidate in your country, vote for him?

Please try and give reasons why.

I wanted to conduct a poll and see who would/wouldn't and why?

My vote would be a no but if I was living in the US and I was a white man, not earning the best paycheck, tired of years of Obama impotence on both a national and international level...I might just vote for him. He seems to be speaking to a very strong demographic in the US, as Farage did here in the UK. I don't condone the rhetoric but I understand why it would be impressive for so many people.

 

[SkepticThinker]

No. Absolutely not. Never.

Edit: Oh sorry, I didn't give an explanation.

His views on just about everything are quite alarming to me. Torture, women, minorities, refugees, you name it.

I think he's a narcissist who's in this to boost his massive ego and he will take care of only himself.

Plus has he ever given a detailed plan on ANYTHING? ("It will be great, I'm the greatest," means absolutely nothing.)

 

[Quetzal]

Nope. He lies too much and has said some alarming things in regards to minorities.

Just watch this, it says it all.

"Nuclear is just the power. The devastation is very important to me." - Trump 2015

I wouldn't vote for him because he is a total ****.

(and **** means ****, not one of these mild swear words )

 

[Revoltingest]

I could vote for him.
- Hillary is more inclined to get us into wars.
- Hillary is a lawyer. Trump isn't.
- Tort reform could happen under Trump.
- Trump's commercial with barking Hillary is priceless.
- He'd likely be less harmful to business.
- His social conservatism is a little worse than Hillary's, but I expect that he wouldn't make things any worse than she.
- He's prettier.
- Al Sharpton might move to Canuckistan. (Sorry, @Wirey.)
- Hillary is more beholden to crony capitalists on Wall St.
- No Bill Clinton in the White House.
- It would make Democrats furious.
- It would make the Republican Party furious.

I want to change my answer to this!

The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive. - Donald Trump

I don't think Donald Trump is capable, rational or even remotely sane. I really do think he is a megalomaniac, and his extreme ego handicaps his ability to think clearly.

Look at the violence and hatred created at his rallies just by the things he says he wants to do. Now just imagine what would happen if he actually did those things.

That violence and hatred would spill out nation wide.

 

[lunamoth]

No. I can't think of a candidate I've ever had less respect for.

 

[The Emperor of Mankind]

Not even if someone pressed a gun to my head and said they'd pull the trigger if I refused.

 

[Buttercup]

No. I can't think of a candidate I've ever had less respect for.

This reminds me of a meme I've been meaning to post.

Haha!

 

[Buttercup]

Haha!

You know, I should come clean and say that this meme isn't totally accurate.

His second wife, Marla Maples, the one he cheated on his first wife with, is from Georgia.

Your sign should probably say "legal" immigrants, you moron (sorry, did I say that out loud?).

 

[Revoltingest]

I understand.

There's a whole lotta truth in that.
But it's about Americastan needing a major overhaul.
Hillary will do the wrong thing.
The Libertarian (whoever it turns out to be) won't do anything.

It is fascinating how some equate legal immigrants with the criminals flooding into your country. How insulting is that to those who went through the long process to become US citizens?


As to the OP, though I'd rather swallow a cup of broken glass, I would vote for Trump over the Hildebeast or the "democratic" Socialist... in a heartbeat.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

No.

Sounds like some people listen to too much of Trump's erroneous rhetoric.

"A new report from the Immigration Policy Center notes that while the illegal immigrant population in the U.S. more than tripled between 1990 and 2013 to more than 11.2 million, “FBI data indicate that the violent crime rate declined 48%—which included falling rates of aggravated assault, robbery, rape, and murder. Likewise, the property crime rate fell 41%, including declining rates of motor vehicle theft, larceny/robbery, and burglary.”

A separate IPC paper from 2007 explains that this is not a function of well-behaved high-skilled immigrants from India and China offsetting misdeeds of Latin American newcomers. The data show that “for every ethnic group without exception, incarceration rates among young men are lowest for immigrants,” according to the report. “This holds true especially for the Mexicans, Salvadorans, and Guatemalans who make up the bulk of the undocumented population.”

You did it again, SweetOne. By coming across the border and entering your country illegally, they become criminals in the process. In no way am I implying that they contribute to raw conventional crime stats. They do however break one or more federal laws by sneaking across your border and that criminal behavior should be recognized for what it is. You can pretend I meant something more sinister, but you would be quite wrong.
