You guys are missing the point. Elections are emotional, and very seldom do people let facts get in the way. I am enjoying the Donald. He is doing what I never thought I would see again; he is campaigning on issues that actually move the electorate. I doubt he can win the nomination, but in the general election, running as a Republican, he stands a pretty good chance. He is probably just saying what he thinks everybody wants to hear, but what if everybody does want to hear it? He would be the best think to hit America since All in the Family, or MASH, or maybe Monica Lewinsky. From a purely train wreck perspective, a Trump Administration would be a dream come true.

I wholeheartedly concur with your conclusions, Tim.
Democrats are often just as guilty of spinning things a wee bit out of context and promising things in their campaigns that they will never be able to deliver(see Bernie Sanders platform).
Trump is really no worse, and possibly even better than most, if not all, of the other Republican candidates. Any one of them, as president would, to my notion, be a train wreck.
I know you will disagree with me on this point, but I think Madam Clinton is the only candidate experienced enough and tough enough to truly operate a functional and relatively fair administration.

My point exactly.

Exactly what everybody would that be?

Exactly. It may be what most Teapublicans want to hear. But I doubt it is what the majority of the population of the United States wants to hear.

And therein lies the rub regarding the delicious and (dark)comedic trainwreck that would constitute a Trump Administration.

I think that most Americans are enjoying the antics of the GOP Circus.
