    What's that phrase? The road to hell is paved with good intentions? Intention matters as much as the means, methods and details. Pragmatism and realism is important and Trump is not living in either of those world.

    So, although I do sometime think he may very well have good intention, his ways have much potential for being extremely dangerous and completely outweigh that possibility.

    He says he is doing it for love of country, and he probably believes it to some degree. But he also knows the real reason.

    He is desperately wanting of the attention. He's faded a bit since the Apprentice and this gives him the platform to be at the center of attention of the entire country. He's a pathological narcissist and his number one goal is feeding that, not anything else. This is a guy who not only never admits he is wrong or makes a mistake, he is incapable of it. And that is very dangerous.

    To me and you, yes, but other people see him as a sort of gruff, good-hearted savior of some kind, sacrificing his comfort and money to save America.

    Just trying to listen to his supporters a little. I don't agree with them.

    I can sympathize with that. Especially when most of these supporters' only opinion of their candidate of choice comes from 30 second sound bites on CNN and Fox. However, it doesn't change the fact that they are wrong. John Oliver did a great piece busting the myth that Trunp was self funded... Actually I believe he busted pretty much every myth that his supporters cite as reasons for their support of Trump.

    Trump loves to say millions and millions a little too much. Everything is millions and millions.

    LOL What a dope. Donald Jesus Drumpf.

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Another radical Islamic attack, this time in Pakistan, targeting Christian women &amp; children. At least 67 dead,400 injured. I alone can solve</p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/714189569793646597">March 27, 2016</a></blockquote>

    It was better back when Trump was a funny joke, now he's a scary joke.

    Wow, can't WAIT to hear how Drumpf would "solve" radical terrorism in Lahore. I'm sure sending them some back-ordered Trump steaks would do the trick, as long as The Sharper Image was down with that.

    But come to think of it, we will NEVER hear how exactly he would "solve" it. Sigh.

    I'm guessing that there is a designated tweet spokesperson...but I can't imagine anybody other than Donald setting aside his active pornhub tabs to post angry incoherent tweets.

    Anything other than that is just super weird.

    And before I forget, shame on him. "I alone can fix this?" Talk about using a tragedy for political gain. I don't usually agree with Commodore, but Trump may be the worst human being to ever run for president.
