I'm not sure about that, but if so, we survived them.

On the other hand, as far as we know, none of them had access to the nuclear codes.

and being crazy and wanting to run the world. The latter is much more dangerous

When lunacy rules the day anxious people select lunatics as their leaders.

was just about to post that one - if you own a golf course, or other property, near the sea, then global warming is obviously a real and serious concern. Otherwise it's a hoax - there was snow in January after all.

There's only the expedient belief or thing to say which benefits him. If things change, like him becoming the Repug nominee, well then of course what he says he believes changes because he has to appear to actually be conservative, rather than a total fascist.

These elites are money grubbers to the end. They'll support absolutely anything if there is enough $$ behind it, or its advantageous strategically.

Donald will ease gun restrictions because....**FEAR** Guns sell. And annually LOTS OF GUNS ARE SOLD TO PARANOID PEOPLE.

The Middle East......antagonistic(buts its impossible to be anything but at this point?)

China......Can we build a wall for China? Well if it's possible Donald will do it. And guess what, the price of your 16GB IPAD will rise to 3000$

Mexico.....Probably not a good Idea to piss off the country that enables low tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, onion(FOOD) prices to remain relatively stable over the winter. Yes there is something imbalanced with Mexican American trade, but the balance doesn't usually tips in Mexico's favor.

He has policy moods. He says whatever the current audience wants to hear. As Mencken said of other politicians, "If he thought there were enough cannibals among the voters, he would promise them missionaries for dinner."

Now that Trump has the Republican nomination all but sewn up, his real side is coming out. We're now regularly hearing him talking about supporting things that benefit the 1%ers at the expense of the rest of us. Before, he was speaking in vague, populist language that appealed to lower-income and lower-educated people like the wall along the Mexican border, deporting and forbidding Muslims from the country, encouraging violence against persons expressing opposition to him, etc.
