Could we be looking at the next President of the United States?

Lawd what a scary thought...

What do you think of his chances? And what would that look like if it happens?

I must have missed all the media coverage of the rampant rapes and assaulted in bar bathrooms

there is security at bars. There is not security at Tim Hortons. And yes most bars with security do randomly check the bathrooms or have security posted outside the bathrooms.  Again let's not pretend this is going to be an issue when it never was before. 

A guy dressing up as a woman to infiltrate a bathroom with the intent of raping a woman is less likely to do that at a bar for many reasons. 

Ummm no most bars do not have security posted outside of the bathroom stalls.    Most decent fast food places do have people doing bathroom cleaning on a more frequent basis.  

I'm not saying rampant rape is currently happening or will happen down the road.   But don't skew the truth just to prove your point.

If you are trying to ignore common sense and say that men do not behave any different or don't generate some liquid courage  when they are tanked then that is some weird thoughts you have.  

If you are suggesting that men don't hit on women at the bar and at times way more creepy/aggressive as compared to when men hit on women in a non drinking environment.... then once again the world you live in is a weird place.  

As for missing the media coverage?  What about the girl in Florida?       Also it's fairly uncommon for men to rape other men in the toilet... so I can't imagine their being much media coverage on that?  

   

Brandon stop being obtuse.  are you really trying to argue that the industry most impacted will be bars?  Puh leeze 

If people think bullying will stop if there's transgender washrooms in high schools they have rocks in their heads.

I never once mentioned the industry being impacted.  Stop twisting stories.

I said the highest percent chance of troubles arising would be at the bars because of the drunk factor.    

I pretty much agreed with your point for the most part and yet you still need to twist and disagree?  It's weird.

 yes, I thought that was strange since we seemed to be in agreement.  Ofcourse, the bar industry would not be overly impacted.  I can see no reason why it would be more impacted than anything else and many reasons why it wouldnt.  I know the industry well.  Im not sure how drinking would cause predators to dress up like women to assault people in bathrooms.  Again...this is a problem that simply doesnt exist and allowing people to choose the bathroom they are most comfortable with isnt going to change much of anything.

Trump, back in the news.

 

Trump on black supporter: 'Look at my African-American over here

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/03/politi...can/index.html

Redding, California (CNN)Donald Trump sought to tout his support among African-Americans on Friday by pointing out a black man in the crowd and calling him "my African-American."

"Oh, look at my African-American over here. Look at him," Trump said. "Are you the greatest?"
The remark didn't generate a noticeable response from Trump's audience. A message left with the Trump campaign was not immediately returned.
Trump's remark came as he recalled an incident in March when a black supporter of his assaulted a protester at a rally in Arizona as he was being escorted out of the building by police.
The comment also comes as Trump is under fire for calling on the federal judge presiding over one of the lawsuits against Trump University to recuse himself because of his Mexican heritage.
Trump again argued Friday in an interview with CNN's Jake Tapper that the judge is inherently biased against him because of the presumptive GOP nominee's plan to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
The presumptive Republican nominee has repeatedly hit back at charges that he is racist by insisting he is "the least racist person that you have ever met."
Still, Trump's rhetoric has repeatedly drawn charges of racism, xenophobia and Islamophobia.
Trump kicked off his campaign by calling some undocumented immigrants from Mexico "rapists" and criminals and then stoked Islamophobic sentiment in December by calling for a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States."
Trump said in March that he believes "Islam hates us" and said last fall that a Black Lives Matter protester who disrupted his rally and was kicked and punched by Trump supporters probably "should have been roughed up."
Still, Trump has insisted that his campaign message will have enormous appeal among minority communities, particularly African-Americans and Hispanic Americans.
The de facto Republican nominee insists that his promise to bring jobs back to the U.S. and reduce unemployment in minority communities will draw those groups to his controversial candidacy.

I watched some videos of the Anti Trump protesters in San Jose...  it has to be a plan by Trump to win the election.  I can't imagine normal people acting that insane and pretty much pushing people to vote for Trump based on their behavior. 

There are a lot of people who strongly believe in freedom of expression....as long as your opinion is the same as theirs. 

And now the next episode in the continuing drama of "The Hypocrisy of Donald Trump":

Yesterday in an interview with CNN's jake Tapper Donald Trump criticized the judge in the Trump University trial. Even though he is a Latino American & was born in the US. He called him a Mexican & he is getting screwed because he's Mexican. He then said he is a builder of walls. What a piece of work Trump is.

Do you really believe what he is saying?  I think he's playing the game and apparently it seems to be working!

It doesn't matter if we believe what he's saying. The fact is there are a lot of Americans who do and support him for it.

He's a wack job who won't win in the Presidential election.

And this is why I'm glad I live here. 

 

I wouldn't be so quick to call Trump a whack job.  When he announced, people said he's nuts and has no chance.  When he was a front runner, people said he's nuts and he has no chance.  When he became presumptive nominee, people said he was nuts and had no chance.  He has a chance and his numbers are due to his style.  And I think he;s very intelligent and shrewd.

He's playing the game...  I would not be shocked to find out if the "anti trump" protestors who are assaulting innocent people were all paid goons by Trump to drive up support.

It's not a Presidential election yet. We'll see how he does after he is officially nominated & has nearly 5 months on the campaign trail opening up his trap to every American who can vote.

Id be less surprised if it was confirmed many of the Anti Trump crowd were professional protestors.  Although I love when they stick mic's in the faces of morons and get them vowing to shut Trump up while claiming it's their right to freedom of expression.

@Iso I agree the actual campaign will be a big test for him but Im not sure he will lose much support from his core.  Thats really his major decision - to remain the same tone and keep that base or try to be more reasoned and "traditional" to attract more interest and risk losing that core.  I suspect he plays the same game until he's losing, then he begins reaching out in a more reasoned way.  I bet he chooses a more tradtional, popular VP who will try to reach the more traditional voter.

I would bet on Hilary especially once Bill and Obama start campaigning more but never under estimate her unlikeability factor. 

Hillary is going to be held to account for Bengahzi and here personal emails as SoS.

Maybe the next Benghazi hearing will finally find the smoking gun against Clinton that the other hundred or so hearings missed...

I think the choice of running mate will matter more for Hillary then Trump. She needs to pick someone likeable.

He's going after the "Mexican" judge urging his supporters to do the same. He's alienated Women, Blacks & Latinos. But the white high school dropout in Arkansas who lives in a shack & has no front teeth, well he's all in.  Trump& the Republican party are going to get destroyed.

I think you are underestimating the amount of racists living in the US. I also think that you are underestimating the amount of American people who are sick and tired of career politicians. Trump has a very real chance to win. Yeah he pisses some people off. .. yeah he's not politically correct but really that's why lots and lots of people like him. He might be uninformed on lots of issues but he is saying it differently... he's speaking to the normal American who is tired of the same old same old and it's working and I wouldn't be surprised if he absolutely destroys hillary Clinton and wins the presidency. 

Would I vote for him?If it was a choice between him and Hillary?  I probably would.  Doesn't mean I agree with trump. Just means I'm sick of the same old same old. Trump will probably win. Don't be surprised if he does. Also don't be surprised if the vice president he picks is the one actually running things
