Let them, better for everyone when the general election comes. Do feel sorry for them though.

-You know what, I wouldn't be so sure about that. Trump could be our next President. It's not such a giant leap to consider it happening. People tend to gravitate to the opposite of what they've had. My wife is literally the opposite of the girl I dated prior to her etc.

Opposite of George HW Bush = Clinton. Opposite of Clinton = W Opposite of W = Obama. Who is the opposite of Obama? Is it H. Clinton or Trump? You tell me.

There is a chance that letting someone so retarded run, would help the reasonable candidate. You are right, though.

This is the country that elected Bush twice.

There could be more problems at the polls.

Moving to a mountain in the Yukon, if he gets a landslide. There is no saving the world after that.

I think it is naive to say that either Bush or Trump are unintelligent. I'm not a fan of either but they get things done. Unfortunately, Bush got things done that I didn't agree with and I'm pretty sure Trump would follow suit (see what I did there).

In order to be so effective at getting your agenda pushed though, you can't be "stupid." At least IMO.

If you are a democrat, I think to refer to Trump as unintelligent would be dangerous. He's a real threat.
