While I agree it's somewhat disheartening, I don't blame Trump for this. In fact, I applaud him for bringing this FINALLY to our attention.
There is NO ONE in Washington that is a serious candidate, understands economic policies, the Constritution or foreign policy on a NON-PARTISAN level. None. And every politician's continued red/blue opinion on EVERY subject just proves over and over to the American public that these so-called "leaders" have no character and earn no respect or admiration from their constituents.
If the color of the sky was up for a vote in congress, every Republican would vote green and every Democrat would vote orange just because. There is no intellectual debate or reason on any issue. No learned opinions that CHANGE as more and more information is discovered and disseminated. That is what real people do with issues. They learn first, they debate, they listen to other opinions, then they decide.
Our political system rewards the exact opposite. They decide based on party. They ignore debate. They don't listen to other opinions. They don't learn until it's too late.
I could care less who or what Trump stands for at this point. All I know is he's NOT what's there. And I welcome someone that once in office will actually have differing opinions on issues. Some left and some right based on HIS (or HER) beliefs and his beliefs only.
I was right with you until your last sentence. A guy who hurls insults isn't what we need to inspire intelligent debate and get people to listen to other opinions. It's childish reality show fodder. What are Trump's opinions anyway? That everyone in office is stupid and incompetent. Great. So what would he do differently? He's long on bashing people, short on intelligent discussion of issues. He keeps saying he's going to do this or that, when asked how he will accomplish these things or what specific policies he favors he has no answers. I literally just heard him say today words to the effect of "I'm not going to tell you what I would do, I don't want the other side to know what I would do."
Seriously? People are buying this answer? We're supposed to elect him solely because he's willing to blurt out incendiary politically incorrect stuff and just trust that we're gonna like what he does once he gets in there. OK.
