#1 No, he's not conservative enough. Not conservative at all. But we had our chance to pick conservatives and chose not to. Now we have a choice between a sleazy progressive narcissist and a sleazy evil progressive narcissist. I guess that's enough of a difference...

#2 Apparently, the US of A likes celebrities

Well if you have a titular head of the country who is also a chief executive (IMO, two jobs what require a completely different set of skills & talents)...

#3 If it came down to Trump vs McCain this article might contain a glimmer of truth, but we chose a life long liberal democrat and Hillary supporter over the likes of Perry, Walker and Cruz - some of the most conservative elected officials in a generation. And now that we've gone full retard what do I keep hearing - he's better than Hillary. The same crap I heard when they were trying to force feed me that parade of fools which includes McCain, Romney, Jeb, Dole, etc.

#4 How about "Trump is the most conservative candidate"?

#5 He's the most conservative lifelong liberal Democrat left in the race.

#6 How about "Trump is the most conservative candidate"?

About as meaningful in this race as asking which candidate has the better hair.

#7 You really think there's no difference between Hillary and Trump, Iblis? I'm really curious.

#8 Trump is an avowed hard line Capitalist.

Hillary is an avowed hard line Socialist.

This contest is not Conservative vs Socialist.

This contest is Capitalist rule vs Socialist rule.

#9 Trump is an avowed hard line Capitalist.
Hillary is an avowed hard line Socialist.

And that's the contest in a nut shell.

#12 Trump is a capitalist, but he depends heavily on the 'crony' aspect of it. Clinton is also a capitalist, of the crony kind, but she wears heavy socialist camouflage.

#13 Glenmore, is he a crony capitalist from choice or is that the only/smart option in today's game?

If the game is rigged, as I believe it mostly is, is it not dumb to pretend it isn't?

#14 Grom - missed my point. They are both train wrecks. Just one kind of disaster vs another. Either way, you get disaster.

Ask for Trump being a capitalist, sure, in the sense that PT Barnum was a capitalist.

#15 PT Barnum was one of the founders of the Republican Party; he was the mayor of Bridgeport Connecticut at the time, back when it actually made stuff.

#16 is he a crony capitalist from choice or is that the only/smart option in today's game?

Todays game per the American right wing voter is elect the most effective NON POLITICIAN who wants the job into the highest political office to clean up the cronyism if at all possible.

Americans now know what limited choice means and they are trying to make the best of it.
