Donald Trump and Ted Cruz really scare the establishment...

[IowaHawkeyeFBnBB4Life]

Which is why one of these two needs to be the next president. You know they scare the establishment, business as usual, status quo crowd when they are talking about their ideas in the state of the union and Nikki Haley calling them out in her response.

My vote goes to Trump, but I could stomach Cruz if I had to.

 

[Huey Grey]

OP's not very smart.

 

[dgordo]

Its pretty amazing the trump and cruz have been able to convince people they are not the establishment.

Furthest thing from it in this election cycle, but by all means continue to elect the status quo.

Sorry, but I'd much prefer to elect a competent person over an ignorant, bigoted, thin skinned, blowhard narcissistic bully like Trump.

I dont think they are bad, on paper that is one damn impressive resume.

If the "establishment" is sane people....count me amongst them. The prospect of Donald Trump being president is about as scary as it gets.

I don't think anyone believes them to be bad. I think people are tired of the adoration, worship, and free pass given to people from these backgrounds.

Trump is the best man for the job, I really believe he will take care of business in the middle east.

Hardly so. But keep living in your wingnut fantasy world.

So what's your alternative? Elect someone who is an idiot? No thanks.

This is one of the dumbest excuses I've ever heard to support bigotry.

 

[strummingram]

Donald Trump is the epitome, literally the complete result of, the establishment! Cruz is the same.

The whole process is one ass-kissing, soul-selling race for acquisition of material and wealth and adoration.

except they did vote for him in droves and the fraudsters took the paul votes and changed them electronically to mccain or romney or whomever, same thing they will do with jeb now

I think your definition of an idiot is a fairly subjective version.


Edit: I also think people should be vetted on their ideas and not what kind of education they have.

Of course it's subjective. Still doesn't change the fact that Trump is one.

Except that he isn't an idiot. You may not like his methods, and I can understand that, but he is hardly an idiot. I don't think "W", or Bill, or Obama, or Hillary are idiots. I think they're underhanded and part of the establishment, but I don't believe for one minute that they are idiots. I don't even think Krugman is an idiot, even though he's the biggest shill for the corporations on the planet.

I like how you're getting literal with definitions to oppose my Trump bashing. Thank god I didn't call him a piece of shit. I can only imagine what your response would have been.

Agree! These people are NOT "idiots!" Professional elite criminals, maybe. They are anything but idiots.

From what I've seen, Trump may literally be a semi-evolved piece of shit that learned to talk in sound bytes. Don't give up on this train of thought too quickly.

I wouldn't care about that. I care that you think they are stupid, when all they do is trick people into voting for the same candidate. That is hardly being an idiot.

I once straddled the bowl and pushed nearly a pound of poop out. The poop then looked up at me and insisted that John McCain was no war hero.

Point goes right over your head.

No it didn't. I told you that I don't care about calling him a piece of shit because it didn't matter.

What you're doing, when you call these people "idiots", is bypassing what this is really about. If you think they're stupid, then you'll just vote for someone else, but if you realize that they are corrupt, then this might lead you to look for corruption in other candidates.

Good grief, man. What about me saying that you shouldn't take the definition of "idiot" literally don't you understand? Whether I call him an idiot, POS, moron, douche, or anything else, the point is that the guy is no good for this country. Seems to me you're now just arguing for arguments sake.

Notice how I said "might?" Have fun being a pawn, dude. It's not like there aren't 200 million of you out there.

You exhibited hatred and bigotry in your comments when chastising Trump while calling him out for the same things, that makes you a hypocrite. If I misread your words, please feel free to explain them.

Link to ciggy trying to ban Muslims, calling Mexicans rapists, and insisting that thousands of Muslims cheered on 9/11?

Calling someone out for being a bigot doesn't make you bigoted yourself. This is just an insane argument.
