Genuine question.

What "climate"? And what do you think the root cause of this climate is?

I think that take is wrong. His brand was well known. He could have folded a long time ago after raising issues but didn't and his brand has not been advanced in many quarters. He has scorned the political system that he negotiated with for projects, the foreigners and Democrats who buy his properties and left himself exposed to scrutiny on many fronts. He may have boosted Make America Greatt Again caps but I don't see how he advances if he loses

Sure, if you ignore all the lies.

guns, what common sense policies has he proposed? I literally can't find anything concrete

And I feel like he won the republican nomination cause the rest of the group was a clown show, that's not achievement to hang your hat on.

The specifics will be argued during the debates. Haven't heard much from Hillary either other than the usual petty media stuff the media digs up to deflect.

Lot of crying today, I think some here need a good group hug . They forgot that Trump said he loves them

Talk about an unconventional convention. For him to end the speech with "God bless you and goodnight! I love you!" instead of the now customary "God bless you, and God Bless (the United States of) America" ... wow. Strangely personal way to say "peace out". Goes along with an appeal to personality versus policy IMHO.

That's what's fascinating about this whole thing. That people don't find his personality abhorrent. It's confounding.

“I don’t want (Cruz's) endorsement,” Mr. Trump said angrily, in a rambling stream-of-consciousness performance that seemed half standup routine, half-vengeful rant. “If he gives it, I won’t accept it.”

President?

Trump would not qualify for a job a the local Big Boy restaurant.

Come on he'd make a great Big Boy sign.

President is representation of the country.
I think Trump is a perfect feet.
He looks like century 21 America as close as it gets.

misterearl wrote:Is decadence the right word?

arkrud - putting Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in the same sentence is not the best way to describe a complex political landscape.

Donald Trump is The Great White Hope. He is after ratings.

Hillary Clinton is a woman attempting to make history on her experience, and complicated legacy.

Whatever "decadence"(?) is the responsibility of the American voter

"The Great White Hope" of great White sharks?

We might be on the brink of a major world war. The thought of Hillary leading us gets scarier each day while the current administration tells us we are safer than we've ever been and focus on trivial domestic issues.
