    It astonishes me why people actually vote Republican. What exactly compels you to vote for a party which takes vocal stances against minorities and the poor?
    I don't even vote so yeah..
    Also, I can freely express myself whenever I please.

    Well that wasn't so hard. Others could learn from you, changes my opinion about the guy but from the video alone, it makes him out to be sort of a good guy. This is why I don't involve myself with anything regarding the Government.

    One of the biggest problems with a political system like ours: it's so easy for politicians to be disingenuous and for their PR (or anyone else who supports them) to spin things in their favor. Mudslinging's not that hard either...

    Trump is very entertaining. Could you imagine if he won. Things would be so interesting.

    I imagine sitting next to a timebomb as it counts down to zero could also be considered "so interesting".

    I have to say, I see nothing wrong with what Ted Cruz said. If an illegal alien commits a crime, beyond simply being here, they should be deported.

    That's how they get you, though! They say something sensible, and then you find yourself nodding, and then 5 minutes later, WHOOOOOSH he's back to being Ted Cruz.

    Most Republicans (and candidates) want all illegal immigrants gone. Let's not get into the discussion of how impractical such a thing is. What anyone, Republican or Democrat, should be channeling their energies toward is stymie the flow of illegals we get in the country. This could either be done through better boarder security, clean up the process to become legal citizens, a mixture of the two mentioned, or any other ways that wouldn't waste taxpayer's money like the Great Wall of Trump.

    You know who would make a good vice president for Trump? Bernie Madoff..... or maybe Emperor Palpatine..... I mean if someone even more absurd than Bush gets elected we need someone more cartoonishly evil than Cheney.
