(2,565 posts)I don't believe he would actually DO any of that, except maybe the waterboarding, but I expect that from ALL the GOP candidates.
Maybe it is b/c I grew up in NY and have been listening to him most of my life. Maybe it was b/c I ACTUALLY supported his short lived flirtation with running on the reform ticket in 2000 on a platform of single payer and a one time wealth tax to eliminate the deficit.
I don't see him ACTUALLY trying to deport 11M people. There have been more deportations under Obama than any previous president... if he just keeps up the same record, he will tout it as success and his idiot followers will believe he is doing it.
I'm not sure which candidate keeps us out of a full blown war with ISIS... even Bernie says they must be eliminated, but takes the intelligent position that it needs to be a coalition led by Muslim troops.
I guess I also don't believe the Islam talk.
IDK.. Maybe I am just being incredibly naive, but of the possible choices (Cruz, Rubio, Trump).. I find him to be the least frightening.
I am also fairly convinced that unless Bernie is the nominee, Trump will win.
He will pick Kasich as his VP, seal up Ohio and the election. I don't see Clinton having a prayer against him.. so I am trying to prepare myself for the worst. (or at least convince myself it won't be AS BAD as it was under bush).
