Do you think Donald Trump can brag his way to become Commander in Chief?

[SummerSnow]

I'm going to call his demise the Sarah Palin effect. If he does win the primaries, how will he fair in a one on one debate , a town hall meeting, serious questions about foreign and domestic policy. Healthcare,the military, education, infrastructure, employment and unemployment, etc. Could you imagine him doing a state of the union address?

1. No

He will not survive the general election.

2. Yes

You don't have to fool all of the people all of the time, or all of the people some of the time, or some of the people some of the time or some of the people all of the time.

You just have to fool enough people in the right states at the right time. And, although some say the Jeb!?# will be the nominee regardless, I don't buy that. And, yes, I think Trump fool enough people, etc.

4. No.

He'll get bored and quit long before a nomination.

5. The US elected Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush

Electing braggart assholes as president is as American as apple pie.

7. you know what, you are so correct.

10. Indeed-- it's a scary prospect, but it seems like Trump is an even bigger fraud than Bush or Reagan

6. To the people attracted to Trump, throwing our weight around and threatening bombs is all

the policy they care about.

8. I don't think he can get away with it for another year, no

Did you see his "policy" speech last night? MSNBC rushed to cover it, but was forced to label it as "policy free" when it was over (and it was clear that the network had been pwned, once again).

9. There is no way ANY Republican can win the White House.....

Without at least 37% of the Latino vote. Good luck with that.

[Johonny]

11. There really isn't any evidence the same 28% or so of Republicans follow him

that didn't follow him weeks ago. It seems impossible to believe the Republican base is going to collapse around a blow hard that comes off as either unhinged or egomaniac. Not when you got calm cool Ben Carson waiting in the wings. In seriousness Ted Cruz seems positioned to win the primary battle, but it is only September and there's a long time before voters get serious.
