Trump is the only one who will say what a lot of ordinary people say (maybe after a few beers), instead of parroting only phrases crafted by political speech writers after vetting by focus groups. Thus giving voters a choice between a more honest flake/jerk, and a bunch of smart liars owned by a mob of special interest groups.
The old insider cabal is pulling out their hair in fear of losing their gravy train. The outsider populace will likely get equally scr*wed either way, but seem to be voting for a more entertaining reality show ("Presidential Apprentice") to do it to them.

Nope.. Electing Trump IS blowing the brains out of the headache that Washington DC has become!!!!
"The key task now, to once again paraphrase Karl Marx, is less to understand Trump than to stop him," Kristol wrote. "In general, there's a little too much hand-wringing, brow-furrowing, and fatalism out there and not quite enough resolving to save the party from nominating or the country electing someone who simply shouldn't be president."
Paraphrasing Karl Marx? And "once again" at that? That should tell you all you need to know.

No. Can we stop this idiotic rhetoric? Trump doesn't say what a lot of us are thinking.
Many of us conservatives aren't wanting to eliminate all Muslims from the US. Many of us don't retweet the endorsements of people fighting perceived white genocide. Many of us don't think John McCain is a loser for being a POW. Many of us don't want somebody that is racist to lead the free world. Many of us don't want somebody who is legitimately sexist to lead. Many of us don't want somebody who can't say a damn thing of substance in his blanket statements to dictate policy.
And most importantly, I don't want an inherently bad person to represent the USA.

11% support Trump, not endorse a ban.11% of Moslems polled by CAIR do. Just some food for thought:
Future of the world? Give me a break. Let me guess, "OMG he will have his FINGER ON THE BUTTON". I bet you listen to the media how you should be scared of Russia as well. The impending EU collapse is a bigger threat to the world than Trump. Can't be worse than a president who made up evidence to start yet another war that is continuing to this day.
I'd rather Tim Cook be president than Trump or Hillary.
That's a distinction without a difference and you know it. He's made the moratorium on Moslem entry into the U.S. a cornerstone of his foreign policy; God knows you can't hear a news report about him without it being reiterated in exasperation. That poll was taken March 1st, so it's not a question of ignorance on the part of those polled.
Discuss them? Hell, man. They MADE them!
They also made Electric Gonorrhea. Make sure you always keep your phones locked and passworded, folks! Practice safe iPhone!
I'll say this much: it's an interesting time to be an American.
Not to worry.
The only damage Trump can do is to reduce the Republican party to his level of squalor.
And maybe a little collateral damage to America's image around the world (such as it is.)
Just imagine how desperate, crazy, and crushed the Republican party will be after Hillary is elected.
They're already near rock bottom. Their former golden boy, Jeb Bush, blew $100 million in funding.
For nothing.
If Trump wants to, he could go independent and take half the Republican vote with him.
That could easily destroy the Republican party forever. And he'd still lose anyway.
I don't care in the least as I'm not being hateful in using it. It was a common variant in the past and is still used in a non-derogatory manner today. Don't try to deflect with pointless minutiae, either offer a refutation of my point or move on to other posts.
Then you're ignorant and it makes you look silly.
A lot. Yes. But count the votes. In many counties, you seem to be a minority even in your own party. So a lot of people think (and say. and vote.) different. So it's not just rhetoric. It's realism. Even if Trump loses.
Very simple. Cook and Apple can't afford a trade war with China. Trump is a huge threat for AAPL.
For your information, then, a Moslem is translated as being "hateful and unjust".
I'd suggest against using that version. This is not being PC. This is about generally decency.

Luckily, the primaries aren't a democratic election, and better minds can and should torpedo him.
Considering a goodly portion of our manufacturing base now lies in China, I don't think the country, let alone Apple, could survive a trade war with China.
The one silver lining to this is that, well, neither could China. Level heads prevail when everyone shares equal risk.
