I doubt that Trump would even know what cupboard the teapot was in. Yes but at least Trump would buy the tea, Hillary would drink the tea then steal the tea pot then lie about having done it. I think Trump is too caffeinated to be aware of tea. He's more an espresso guy.

We do not need the same ole, same ole anymore. Time for unknown and fresh reboot Yes, but you can get that with Carson or Fiorina without the egomania and bombast. Fiorina does a great job putting the media in its place without being an ass hole.

Agreed. And Trump is even more narcisstic and egomaniacal than Obama. Which is scary. Still, presented with a choice of Trump or Hillary, Trump is the more down to earth of the two. Hillary can't even get tea without asking an aide to get another aide to get it for her. I doubt that Trump would even know what cupboard the teapot was in. What a waste of precious cupboard space; I leave my teapot on the stove.

POLL: Trump surges to 32% support... Washington (CNN)—Donald Trump has become the first Republican presidential candidate to top 30% support in the race for the Republican nomination, according to a new CNN/ORC Poll, which finds the businessman pulling well away from the rest of the GOP field. Trump gained 8 points since August to land at 32% support, and has nearly tripled his support since just after he launched his campaign in June. The new poll finds former neurosurgeon Ben Carson rising 10 points to land in second place with 19%. Together, these two non-politicians now hold the support of a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and separately, both are significantly ahead of all other competitors. www.cnn.com/2015/09/10/politics/donald-trump-ben-carson-cnn-poll/index.html

And apparently some people think he's a viable candidate still (no matter how many times he puts his foot in his mouth.)

Add in a weak slate of Democrats (Hillary? Really? And Bernie Sanders is a self-declared socialist) and a weak slate of Republicans (one might write a book) and...

He's still a more viable candidate than Hillary, who was Sec State, and accomplished nothing but selling our national secrets, and was a Senator, and accomplished nothing but having terrorists released from jail to support her election.

The Pub slate may look weak, because the LR media is interested only in Trump, and is ignoring all the others, but there are 2 or 3 that would make good Presidents.

Calling people ugly is what they want to hear from their President? Seriously? Do people want to hear him mocking fat people too? What else should he mock?

Personally, I wouldn't vote for him unless it's the only way to keep Hillary or Sanders out of the White House. But you have to understand, for a lot of people the lack of polish that Trump exhibits is part of the appeal. He's NOT a politician. He doesn't act like one, and he makes no apologies for not acting like one. And to a lot of people that means he's not going to bullstuff them like all the politicians do. My problem with this isn't that he's an anti-politician (that's a net bonus in my book as well). It's that he's an a-hole without any substance. I think you're going to see him start to fade now that he's picking on Fiorina and Carson. Beating up on Jeb! and the other career politicians was all well and good. But now he's crossed a line and is beating up on actual people.

There is still a need for decorum in politics. If one wants to vote anti-politician there is Carson, or even Fiorina. They can both make their points without resorting to being bombastic d-bags. Old saying in business and politics, "Be nice to the people on the way up, because you will see them again on the way down".

Obama has gone there as soon as he took office, hard for me to take the single parent bastard seriously ever since. I detest them both about equally!

The nation is sick of sugar coating car salesmen. Trump changes all that and that's why he is popular. If the election were held tomorrow he'd win.

No more sugar coating! Amurica wants a President who isn't afraid to call out the uglies and the fatties! Thank god all of us who post here aren't ugly or fat.

Trump is the GOP's Obama. It is sort of shocking that we've found someone MORE narcissistic than the Chicago Jesus, but we have. The difference though, is no one in the conservative media is getting a thrill up his leg from Trump, which does at least show the conservative media is more serious than the nutters on the left.

I'm no longer convinced there's an appreciable difference between Hillary and Trump. He was, after all, a major donor of her's. Other than he's not as big of a criminal.

His main attraction is the fact taht he is saying things no one else is willing to say. He's changed the conversation, and brought some of the Pub candidates around to talking about what a lot of other people want them to talk about.
