It was a bit bizarre, even for him. I turned to Jeopardy about half way through just to preserve my brain cells. There’s something seriously wrong with that man.

Trump’s Favorite Dictators (in Trump’s own words):
“If you look at North Korea, this guy [Kim Jong Un], I mean, he’s like a maniac, okay? And you’ve got to give him credit. [H]e goes in, he takes over, and he’s the boss. It’s incredible. He wiped out the uncle. He wiped out this one, that one.”
“Saddam Hussein throws a little gas, everyone goes crazy. ‘Oh he’s using gas!’ ”
“He [Saddam Hussein] was a bad guy, really bad guy. But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn’t read them the rights — they didn’t talk, they were a terrorist, it was over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism. You want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It’s like Harvard. Okay? So sad.”
“As far as Putin is concerned, I think Putin has been a very strong leader for Russia. He’s been a lot stronger than our leader, that I can tell you. I mean, for Russia.”
Tweet from Trump: “It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep” (a quote attributed to Benito Mussolini).

Nerd moment: Considering that the average voter turnout in presidential elections is closer to 50%, that’s actually pretty good.

You underestimate the loathing for Hillary by the majority of the electorate and the loathing of career politicians Trump was my 16th choice in the primaries but I will vote for Trump over Hillary Given her dishonesty ,the damage she did when SOS and given the probability that our enemies have her emails she would be a disaster for the country.

So if the Democrats had picked someone else like Bernie Sanders, you would vote for him over Trump?

Trump is not a skilled politician. On top of that, his personality, no doubt influenced by his cognitive process, interferes with his ability not to get sidetracked by issues that do not do his campaign much good. He should focus on emailgate like a laser and drive the point home to his audiences on the campaign trail. If I were his manager, I would insist he concentrate on this sole issue for a few weeks. As it stands now, Trump is his own worst enemy.

Accept it. Trump is the nominee. You and your friends need to vote for Trump if you are pro-life, because he is the only candidate on either side of the aisle who will address the flood of illegal immigration. This matters, because if the current demographic trend is not stopped, and indeed reversed, a conservative pro life candidate will never be elected again.
P.S. the polls at this stage are meaningless. Not one pollster predicted the rise of Trump. The game has shifted.

Illegal immigrants can’t vote, so I don’t see what bearing this has. All the Latinos and Hispanics that you seem to be referring to when you speak of demographic trends and voting are all citizens and are in the US legally. They are also mostly Catholic. It’s the fault of the Republican Party and candidates like Trump that more of them do not vote Republican.

It looks like you might get your wish…
GOP Close To Dumping Trump As Coup Plotters Near Votes Needed To Cause Nomination Chaos
I see.
Not 'fill in whatever minority ’ enough.
Typical racism.
And the 'no true Scotsmen ’ fallacy.

Regardless of what Trump said, I doubt he meant it the way you think. Off the wall, you bet. Trump is used to getting things done and surrounding himself with capable people who will help achieve that. That is what I am banking on. Trump has an unbelievable desire to succeed and I am sure he will put his all into the presidency if he is elected.
As for your friends, perhaps they do not remember travelgate and the myriad of other questionable endeavors of the Clintons. I do. How many reputations have been sullied by them in their climb to power? Perhaps you should gather more friends with different opinions and round out your thinking.

Visit Google and type in youtube trump july and that will take you to the latest Trump talk.
It’s more helpful to listen to what he actually says rather than rely on CNN or CNBC or like that.
Trump also starts off his talks with the day’s current events.

Better than one who is above the law and protected from all wrong- doing by the FBI, media and American people.
