I've seen online that he is railing against Wall Street & Big Pharma.
Has he given any details policy-wise regarding these 2 areas?

the Democrat debates are a stark contrast. When the adults get their turn its far more civilised.

Democratic debate is live now. Bernie almost has too much to say and and has to rush it loudly to keep in time and context, the 3 interchangeable white dudes are making sense but are as bland as church and Hillary shits me. She keeps getting applause for stuff that nationalistic liberals will love and keeps reminding everyone that her Iraq war approval was a 'mistake'. I'm sure the people in that country, and the veterans and victims, will absolutely forgive her :roll: Self-driven af, recommend reading Hitchens' book on Bill Clinton and HST's interview with Bill, strange people, House of Cards-esque
He was a man of specific quirks. He believed that all meals should be earned through physical effort. He also contended, zealously like a drunk with a political point, that the third dimension would not be possible if it werent for the existence of water.

You are right, if the Jews had guns and fought back the Nazi's wouldn't have taken them so lightly, they would not have sent them to concentration camps, they would have just shot them on the spot and none of the Jews who survived the concentration camps would have survived. I reckon they would have rathered to fight and die then spend 6 years in a deathcamp

Thanks for the reply tbitm. I guess since I asked I better state why I would vote for Trump:
- Anti-free trade (including but not limited to NAFTA and the TPP) - Will punish companies for off-shoring/outsourcing jobs - Wants a strong military BUT he will not use it (doesn't want to get involved in Syria and the Israel/Iran/Saudi Arabia proxy-war clusterfuck) - Presents a clear alternative to the establishment (It's why they push so hard against him) - More qualified than most career politicians - Deal with the illegal arrivals at the border and open an opportunity for LEGAL immigration - Anti-political correctness - Will fuck off political donors when they try to bribe him
I don't know if you guys realise, but the man has been a democrat most of his life. Lots of his policies are wayyyyy out from the normal, pro-war neoconservatives of the mainstream republican party.
You all agree with him on alot more issues than you realise.

trident wrote:He bullies his opponents because he cant deliver a sound argument due to his lack of intelligence. Unfortunately, right wingers correlate highest earnings with intelligence. Professor Kevin Dutton has done extensive research into psychopathy and an interesting statement was made about his research: Quote:"...the chemistry of megalomania which characterises the psychopathic criminal mind is a close cousin to the set of traits often best rewarded by capitalism..." In his 2011 Great British Psychopath Survey he concluded that the ten professions that have the highest proportion of psychopaths are... Number 1. CEOs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Dutton Reality suggests that the highest earners do not have the highest intelligence, but are actually the most psychopathic. Hence it is not wonder that the party that sprouts money & capitalism most in their ideals & speeches, the Republican Party, actually try to manipulate the people more through the use of religion. This is not because they uphold the values of selflessness & altruism of said religion, but they use it in a callous way typical of psychopaths for their own self-absorbed ends.

Trump is an anti-immigration racist and misogynist. He cheated on his wife and he's failed businessman who blew all daddy's money on bad ventures and now he's a reality TV star because he's a clown. He bullies his opponents because he cant deliver a sound argument due to his lack of intelligence. Yes he's very much the cult of personality much like Adolf Hitler and he's dangerous because of it. His batshit crazy conspiracy theories on man made climate change echo elders of zion kind of rhetoric. Contrast this to the civility between political opponents Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. That's how we behave in 2015 Trump, note to you. Let the political pros do government Trump, its not for you, you're a TV star, stay a TV star...better yet, just go away!

I believe thats best left to the private sector He thinks poor people are just lazy. I believe this ignores a lot about the realities of working a full-time minimum wage jobs don't earn enough money to survive and it doesn't matter how hard everyone works these jobs would still need to be done by someone He thinks climate change is a Chinese conspiracy. Doesn't believe we should do anything to try to stop it He claims he has the "best most incredible plan" to defeat ISIS, won't release it to Obama. However, he admittedly has no clue about all the different faction in the middle east but "will learn once he gets into office" He wants to lower rich peoples taxes. I don't believe this will spur economic growth He wants to deport all illegal immigrants. This would cost billions and no-one would be left to work in the fields. Ultimately not a well thought out plan which goes for a lot of his ideas. Ultimately I don't think he's qualified or smart enough I could go on but ill say a few thing i like about him. He can make good points on the political correctness of the left in groups like feminists and the recently coined regressives. (Ignoring the PC people on the right but still) Very anti establishment. I'm sick of establishment candidates Strong leader. Not the first thing I look for but its a good trait for a president to have. America could probably do without a strong president policing the world Has exposed the political parties about how they are all beholden to their big money donors. He has a role to play in the political debate particularly when talking about the donors influence on politicians, but thankfully he will eventually lose. I'd say his ideology is very similar to a european Facist, anti immigrant, appeal to the most nationalists voters and want to use force to achieve his agenda.

He's a lying fuckwit with unworkable thought bubbles who can't keep his platform straight without resorting to hyperpopulist drivel.
Then again, in comparison to the rest of the Koch Brothers supplicants he isn't that much different.

There is a massive element of using Carson to criticise Obama, I agree with you there.
