Trump really irritates me when he talks.

Why? Because he talks on and on and on before getting to the point. Over and over and over on the same thing.

Other campaigns try to keep it short and use press releases to provide the details.

Watching him is truly frightening and what's frightening is how many people love his bullying. Unbelievable.

over 30 years.

We're used to it, and consider it just background noise. Like the cabs honking or pigeons gurgling.

No one takes him seriously, but you can't shut him up.

8. He never gets to the point. It's just stream of consciousness nonsense

coupled with variations on "I'm great, I'm the greatest, you're going to be great, too" B.S.

Trying to listen to either of them is like asking me to eat raw pig spleen. Their voices and manner of speech just nauseates me.

12. Polititicians are like that

I can't listen to Obama or Hillary for the very same reason. I can't understand what they are saying, they never seem to get to the point and what they said can be taken so many different ways depending on what the word 'is' means. It's like trying to nail jello to a wall.

18. I didn't compare Obama or Hillary to Trump

I said politicians, period. There are very few politicians which say something and get to the point. Most just seem to wander around saying words that really don't mean much. It's the same with legislation. Instead of writing it in plain English, you have to have a college degree in political speak before you can understand what it says.

I have a problem with Obama and Hillary in the way they speak, so I stopped listening to them. They seem to wander around in circles and then blah blah blah, never seeming to get to the point. I have not heard Trump speak so therefore I can't compare them.

17. There is a big difference between how Trump talks vs Obama or Hillary.

He repeats the same thing over and over than gets back on topic and then almost immediately goes back to what he was repeating before. Obama and Clinton don't do that. Most people don't do that.
