Carson, Fiorina, and Trump have no clue how the federal government works. Do GOP voters understand this isn't American Idol? Apparently not.

that trump wants out at this point? I think the influx of support he gained after calling illegal immigrants rapists took him by surprise. Instead of bowing out, he's trying to make himself untenable by spouting off more and more creepier shit. Only it's not working. I can just imagine him on the phone with his billionaire friends, laughing, wondering what the hell it's going to take.

Imo, the guy simply wanted to troll and have a little fun.

9. Americans are dumb as posts. That is the only explaination I can come up with.

Dumb, sexist, racist. I should have known when Bush was twice elected and when we gave the republicans the senate after shutting down the government, and refusing to help the American people. I know part of it is gerrymandering. But, seriously. I thought the elections were stolen. I gave Americans the benefit of the doubt.

We are stupid.

that every time trump says something controversial people seem to think "this will do him in for sure!" but they don't realize that his total lack of a political correctness is exactly what is fueling the GOP love for him.
