OMFG. I just watched Trump on "60 Minutes."

[catbyte]

The only thing I can compare it to is my crazy Uncle Gus who, at Thanksgiving, had ALL THE ANSWERS TO EVERYTHING, when in reality he didn't know jack shit. It.Was.Terrifying.

"The wall is gonna be YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!"

Jackass.

1. I saw it, too.

Yes. Terrifying. Makes me want to throw up that so many people support this asshole.

[catbyte]

6. That's what frightens me, but hopefully he's only popular with the shallow thinkers. Trump is the

Grand Poobah of shallow thinking.

[Kath1]

7. I'm sure my ex is one of his supporters.

As you said, "shallow thinkers." He is that. A steady diet of Fox News and hate radio has him brainwashed. Tried to turn him on to other news sources when we were married but...... no sale. I think it is scary that he has so much support.

12. The majority of voters are probably "shallow thinkers."

That's the problem.

[Hortensis]

15. 0 chance he'll be elected. Besides the fact that most of America

despises him, when the real races warm up the 24/7 media will no longer need to fill air time with him and he'll disappear. Unless he did something really dramatic, like a third-party run... But it'd be foolishly self indulgent to hope for that.

2. Oh and don't forget, he said it will be a beautiful wall. Prettiest wall ever.

[catbyte]

5. ROFL. What a gasbag.

[WinkyDink]

9. Trump Wall.

[book_worm]

3. Trump will do himself in

[catbyte]

4. I think you're right. Actually, I think Fiorina started the bleeding with her withering,

"Every woman in America" comment. His numbers started to drop after that, so I guess she's good for something.

[Kath1]

8. That was good comment by her

I don't agree with her on anything, but it was a good zinger.

[truebluegreen]

10. Trump has peaked and is on his way out...

the rest of the pack is no less crazy, just a lot less obvious so in my view they are worse.

[RichGirl]

11. Maybe it was a plot...

Bring Trump in to make the others look sane. Well...it didn't work.

[Algernon Moncrieff]

13. I think he was the speed horse

In horseracing, a race typically has a horse that sprints out of the gate; gets all of the other horses chasing him/her; and then fades in the backstretch. I think that's Trump's purpose here -- attract a lot of attention to the Republican cause, and then fade out. The problem is that this is the point one would expect a Jeb Bush to be rising. That's not happening. Trump/Carson/Fiorina are all outside-the-political-establishment candidates.

[BlueStater]

14. Trump DID get rid of Scott Walker.

Of course, I think Walker is such a moron that he would have flopped even without Trump but The Donald definitely quickened his exit.

That's the ONLY nice thing I have to say about that assclown and his ego project that he's calling a "presidential campaign".
