    Maybe that is intentional? He says so many things that are "misinterpreted" and yet he uses such a simple language. Perhaps he should express himself clearer , as a businessman he should know that miscommunication can lead to big trouble. Don't be so naive to think he just has one vocal accident after another. I think the government calls it plausible deniability. Like, if nothing happens, he made a pro 2nd amendment statement, if someone shoots Hillary, he never meant it that way and noone can prove otherwise because he was so vague with his statement. He is a terrible person and I don't just say that because he is rich.

    Kind of like how the far-right in Israel were having rallies in the early 90's where they were chanting "with blood and fire we'll throw Rabin out!" Not to mention the infamous rally where they had a coffin with Rabin's name on it. Sure, people like Netanyahu who were leading those rallies can deny that they encouraged the assassination, but they certainly didnt do anything to stop the ugly things being thrown around. So when video surfaces of Trump rallies where people are shouting to hang Hillary, one cant help but wonder how long it will be until someone actually tries to do it.

    Maybe Trump has been working for Hillary this whole time. What better way to guarantee yourself the presidency than to have your only opponent say everything stupid that he possibly could. Yesterdays rally where he said and I quote here:

    My 6 year old cousin debates like that. He repeats the same thing over and over and over (I want this I want this I want this). I give up, this election is Clintons. This whole thing has been a farce.

    I think its more a scathing indictment of the GOP base than anything else.

    Much of the GOP base was voting for someone else. Unfortunately, several someone elses. Trump took some of the TEA party side, and a whole lotta new faces came to the polls to vote to "Build that Wall!" or "Flog the system!" The Base never did settle on a candidate -- never got below two others -- and Trump went first past the post.

    The GOP is neither grand nor much of a party....it is simply looking very old.

    The Democratic Party is even older though. Perhaps the Republicans need to get back to their roots and campaign to abolish slavery.

    Slavery is a bigger problem now than in the 1850s....maybe you are right.

    Perhaps his whole campaign is just a publicity stunt done as a joke, he probably over estimated the intelligence of a large proportion of the people who voted in the Republican primary.

    Trump gets a lot of shit for his "build the wall" rhetoric and stance on immigrants but when it comes down to actual policies the Democrats under Clinton and Obama aren't much better:
