Is Donald Trump the best thing to happen to the Democratic party since Barack Obama?

I think it is but what do you think?

If this has anything to do with her E-Mail scandal it's a none starter because she can only be impeached because of things she did while in office.
Hillary is the very best person [apart from perhaps Sanders] to be president, and she will be elected as such in November,
the fact that Trump is running for the republicans means that the democrats will be in control of both houses come November.
The right wing nut jobs [the list just goes on and on] have had their day and the sooner they are forgotten the better it will be for the American people.

It's true. We all have been wondering...

When, oh when, are we going to get a thread about Donald Trump around here?



Seriously, maybe we could take all twenty (or whatever the number is) of the existing ones and combine them into a single thread that's entitled, "I don't like Trump and believe that everyone else needs to hear about it."

Yet if the rust belt shifts to Trump, as some polls indicate, the nightmare will become reality. Clinton irrespective of the email scandal, Benghazi and all that rubbish, is not exactly the dream candidate, in what if the primaries are anything to go by, an anti-establishment year.

I know it's like buses, you wait around for 1, then 1000 arrive at the same time

It runs much deeper than that, Trump would be dangerous for the US and cause all kinds of problems, luckily it won't be allowed to come to that.

Again, it couldn't be worse than under the current president, and many voters are aware that the "Chicken Little/sky's gonna fall" line is coming from people who make that charge against ANYONE that the Republicans might put up. It lacks credibility IOW.

The Brer Rabbit approach.

I'm sorry but I am going to have to leave it there if you honestly think that because Barack Obama will go down as one of the best Presidents the US has ever had.
I will not be responding to anymore of your posts.

If the election is an up or down on foreign policy, you will find that your position is a minority one.

I would agree with this...for all the momentum the DNC should be gaining off of Trump's big mouth, they negate half of it by not listening to their own voter base by continuing to push Hillary when the people are crying out for Sanders.

I don't agree with Trump on much...but he was spot on when assessing the flaws within the delegate/super-delegate system as it pertains to the Democratic Party on his CNN interview...

logical fallacy argument from ignorance.

This is how it works here. We have had Obama threads continually for 8 years.

You have a choice to not participate in Trump threads....or do what you usually do and try to make it about Obama, Clinton or Sanders.

I'm not so sure Obama has been good for the democratic party exactly, just good for their controlling the White House.

It really can. Americans still have a lot of first world problems that we can turn into third world problems in a heartbeat.

We should all remember the collapse surrounding the housing crisis, one of Trumps bad ideas is that we should remove the regulations on big banks to get them to go into a lending spree again.

This is backed by the same people that gave you the last deregulation spurred crisis and they obviously haven't learned their lesson.

This is interesting.

I would view this in the opposite way. Hillary Clinton had almost no chance against Kasich, Rubio and perhaps others because of her low favorables and her personal trust issues. Making Trump as the nominee makes the unfavorables and the personal trust issue an issue that cuts both ways and likely balances out.

Kasich would have been more difficult but Rubio always seemed like a feather weight to me.

 

[mark46]

If Rubio were the candidate, Kasich would have been the VP candidate, or vice versa.

Regardless, I simply don't think Rubio would deliver in say a head to head debate, or be a particularly strong candidate throughout the campaign.
