For all the crap that Trump gets for coming across like an asshole, ever notice how his numerous employees or the people that he does business dont say negative things about him?

Why doesn't he just announce that he'll run third party then? He's said numerous times that he wasn't a democrat. So why is he tying himself to a party?

For the same reason Ron Paul ran as a libertarian and republican on different occasions.

Bernie agrees with Dems on a lot of issues, so it doesn't matter. He's doing it because it gives him the best chance of trying to win anything.

Why haven't the Tea Party guys just formed a new party? They have their own caucus, why not just completely abandon the Republican Party and just call themselves the Tea Party?
 
we call ourselves a democracy and we're not, so i don't really care what someone calls themselves.
 
Sanders might be calling himself something different, but he isn't doing a 180 when it comes to what he stands for. Trump was for massive tax increases on the rich, was for single-payer HC, was strongly pro-choice, donated millions to Democrats, the list goes on and on. The only reason he is running as a Rep and not a Dem is because he is an opportunist, not because he had some sort of ideological rebirth. Two years from now he'll be a Dem, then a Green, then a Communist, then maybe a Rep again...whatever he happens to feel like that day.

The sad part is how many Republicans the guy has hoodwinked when he is so obviously a fraud. Doesn't say much for those people, quity frankly.
 
Donald Trump has a better chance at becoming President than Bernie Sanders. People need to get off the pipe, either way.

That would be the saddest election of all-time.

It would be sad for the professional politician crew but I think it would be great for voters and also great for political discourse. I'd love to see a debate between Bernie and Donald, two guys who don't speak from a pre-packaged playbook of talking points.

Idk. If it was Trump vs. Bernie in the general I'm almost certain the country takes Bernie.

The GREAT thing about this election so far is how disillusioned and disinterested the conservative electorate is with the usual lineup of suspects. The country clearly is not excited with them like it's not excited about Hillary.

Now we're gonna find out if all that money really can buy an election. So far it doesn't look like it.

I agree with that. Biden is the guy if this Hillary Clinton email scandal undoes her campaign.

If Trump wins the primary, I might just vote for him to see what happens. It would be worth it.

You know, I was just thinking about this earlier today. I was thinking that there are certain people on this board who will obviously vote for the democrat no matter what, but then there are democrats on this board that are more moderate who I think will choose Trump for a myriad of reasons. And your name came up as an example of someone in my mind who would vote for Trump. I think the more moderate vote would choose Trump over the socialist.

Carson and Fiorina are making waves too. Carson has been really impressive in some of his recent interviews, imo.

Well, I'm not a democrat, but your point stands.
