    Capitalizing 'our' is so cheesy :roflol:

    Anyway, I think he would pursue standard corporatist policy. Would he defer to the judgment of the people? Perhaps, perhaps not. There's not really any way to tell before they have the power - it's not like a tyrant is going to act like one before he has the position.

    In my view he's better than some in the field - and I really dig that he's the antithesis of political correctness - but he's just too goofy, and we fundamentally disagree on social liberty and foreign policy. That's sort of a dealbreaker.

    Why does getting a kick out of some loon disrupting the established playbook make someone not smart? Honestly I think the robotic and predictable responses from the establishment is stupid. The fact that a man can say the things Trump says and no one can challenge him intellectually is very revealing about the established playbook.

    So after years of hating Obama, you want a Republican Obama in office?

    You could ask that of any person running for president. That's why you are supposed to carefully vet them first. Look at Obama, friends with a terrorist, more than half of the nation didn't care.

    Actually I'm afraid that strikes me as a pretty stupid question.

    An understandable misperception in someone who can hardly be expected to appreciate the value of the Constitution. The question, of course, is what the hell such a person is doing posting in this thread.

    Great, thanks for nothing.

    That's delusional. Sanders acts like a thoughtful adult. Trump acts like an arrogant adolescent.
    One is PBS and one is Jerry Springer.

    Given FDR's socialist leanings, I'm at a loss as to why any commonsensical American would consider that a selling point.

    What a man needs and what he wants are often not the same at all.

    If he's a Democrat posing as a Republican, how the hell can it be anything BUT more of the same?

    This might be reassuring if not for the fact that FDR was more like Hitler than many would like to think.

    Trump had this to say about Cruz a few days ago:

    DONALD TRUMP: You know, here’s another guy who can’t get a deal done so he sits behind a desk signs an executive order, he gets sued and let’s see what happens in five years from now, OK? [...]​

    So we're supposed to believe Cruz, the poster boy for constitutional conservatism, would go all pen-y phone-y to bypass Congress? I haven't seen a shred of evidence that he has any such proclivity, so I'd say it's far more likely Trump is merely projecting his own extra-constitutional inclinations. That and his support for the ethanol subsidy has the y-man smelling a rat and a half.
