Donald Trump

Eh it's a non issue because gay marriage is already legal everywhere

What so if a candidate supported rape, but rape is illegal everywhere, it means nothing?

His opinions & beliefs influence my thoughts on him. People are saying Trump will be the next Hitler. What about Cruz?

Everyone the media doesn't like is Hitler. Nothing he has said is anything like Hitler. Hitler believed white Germans were the superior race and tried to destroy the "inferior" races. Trump wants better border security and a halt on Muslim immigration until better security protocols can be established(so like a month pause).

Cruz apparently had an affair with 5 women. I don't know if it's true yet. Cruz wants a flat tax of 14% for everyone. I like that idea but I can't trust Cruz due to the people who have influence over him.

What Trump says about the border fence to stop drugs and immigration does make sense in my opinion, you don't want the USA to end up like Germany, that country is now ruined. It's a shame when you now hear German people want to leave their own homeland because they are not happy with what is going on there.

Question though for the Americans: Is Bernie Sanders a problem because he is 'a socialist' and socialism is considered bad? I have no opinion about him either but my reason for asking is he seems to be the only one that (from over here) I have not heard any stories of lies, cheating, trash talking the opponents etc. Ie not being a ****. I don't know about his policies of course. they might be bad but as a politician he seem the most human.

Socialism. Making everyone equal with the aid of the government. Alone people don't trust the government, so there's a minus. We are born on a capitalist society even though our country is basically Capitalist/Socialist right now. That itself is a major nono in the minds of allot of people. If everyone is equal then the American Dream of becoming prosperous and wealthy kinda goes down the drain because everyone will be equal to another. Not let's be honest, at the very heart of being against Socialism is plain and straight GREED. Everyone wants to make the $$$ and with socialism that isn't too too possible. Don't deny it, you know I'm right. It's greedy and quite frankly disgusting but that's how Capitalism works. But on the other side of the spectrum, the people who support Bernie are also GREEDY, because those who are less fortunate become more fortunate and gain goods off of doing nothing.

Money controls the world and unfortunately the way we govern ourselves too.

Personally and truly, I do believe in socialism but simply because I believe that we all should be equal and no one deserves to be barely scrapping by day to day, check by check, worried that if they get sick they won't have insurance to cover the expenses or have the money to take care of themselves. Socialism is ideal but not realistic and that's the sad part.

Not everyone is cut out to exceedingly successful. Not everyone is given a small loan of a million dollars. My mother herself does not have a huge set of qualifications for jobs and right now she is suffering. The last job she had was great but she got the short end of the stick when the company started to suffer because other companies couldn't pay them and my mom was laid off. Now? She went from a good middle class citizen to an income of 0 other than unemployment. How do you live like that? Straight up, you don't. Capitalism isn't so great, maybe for some but for others, it hurts like a b*tch because not everyone is successful and may not have the skill sets necessary to make it. I've seen it, I've seen my mother break down because she wasn't sure if we were going to make it past the month and I can only imagine how it is for those who have it even worse.

Socialism? Could help greatly but mostly for those that need it because they weren't able to make it on their own. For those that are already successful and prosperous, could negatively affect them.

Spoiler:

Just my two cents.

Glad to see some good answers here

Australia is about 50/50 Socialist Capitalist, which in my opinion is the perfect system. Poor people do need support, but wealthy people do need to be brought down the Earth a bit, but not too much. I can see why so many Americans are against Socialism, but the whole 'we're entitled to our wealth' is bs. How was Trump entitled to his "small loan" of 1 million dollars as a child?

Just woke up, and realized some of the crap I wrote last night didn't make sense at all lol.

Matt you summed up basically what I meant. *thumbs up* I agree Socialist/Capitalist is the best of both worlds.

fatassmonkey, I make you right...

'Money controls the world and unfortunately the way we govern ourselves too.'

Looks like Trump is gonna lose to Cruz (deemed "Lyin' Ted by Trump) in both North Dakota & Wisconsin. Does anyone else see a convention on the horizon?

Changing the subject, punishment for abortions. I see where he's coming from and I don't blame him for wanting to do this, but instead of there being a punishment I think it should just be very expensive, it's someone's choice to have an abortion, even if it isn't nice, but the person shouldn't be punished for something that's their decision, not anyone else's.

I think punishment is the wrong word tbh

Is your sig the new McDonald's McCafe logo?

He's been to gay weddings but he'd probably side with the religious right.

Trump will still be leading by 10, meaning Cruz will have to win 10/15 of the remaining states to tie.

Looks like Trump getting to the White House is not the foregone conclusion everyone thought it would be. Looks like he's got a fight on his hands...

When everyone in Australia was taking the complete **** out of him & saying he had 0 chance of getting far & it was only a matter of time before he self-destructed I stayed worried & unconvinced. And here we are; he's on his way to a 50% change of becoming President of America.
