I've been following this thread, and as the "resident Republican" let me say this. First, I'm not that type of Republican. I lean more towards a Libertarian stance. But as that's not an option in our current two party system, I'm labeled a Republican. If Trump gets the nomination then I'll continue to do what I've been doing for the past year. Shake my head, and get really really upset about something I can't control. Maryland will go Dem...no matter what. So it really doesn't matter on the Presidential ticket who I vote for. It's the more local elections that have a true effect on my life. Trumps a ridiculous clown, Hillary is old guard, and I don't agree with her politics. She's running simply because she thinks it's owed to her. She doesn't really want it, she's like a child who sees another kid playing with a toy and then wants that toy. Usually in an election there is at least one candidate who wants the job simply because they think they can fix the country. I may not agree with their ideas (Obama) or their methods (Bush) but I understand and appreciate their desire to do what they feel is best for the country. I get that...and I don't see it in a single candidate this year. Trump wants it because he's bored, rich, and doesn't know what else to do. Hillary wants it because Bill had it, Carson...he wants it for the same reason Trump does. He's rich, egotistical, and bored. Worse is that he doesn't know jack shit about governing. Trump doesn't either but at least he's got some business sense behind him. Jeb wants it for the same reason Hillary does (he thinks it's owed to him). All the others will fade away in time.
All this being said, my one hope (and I know it won't happen) is Trump gets the nomination. Turns to the camera and says "you all nominated me...you're fools, you're all fools" "Did you hear what I said, did you listen to the shit spewing out of my mouth? This is what needs to be fixed...stop electing people through fear mongering" **drops mic****
