Both countries have laws against hate speech and incitement to hatred. He'd be arrested if he said any of this stuff here. I'm embarrassed that he was given red carpet treatment when he was last here.
He wants to build a golf course resort.
Let's see how that goes.
Do you support banning hate speech?
I'm not sure. Someone running for president though? Them doing that at least let's you know it's a bad idea to vote for them.

Thats the great thing about free speech. It lets idiots expose themselves.
I truly believe the stuff that has come out of Donalds mouth over the past however many months, has made things more dangerous. I truly believe his hate filled words have made this country more insane.

Guys, in a year from now we're all going to be laughing at ourselves for having taken him seriously.
We don't all have an Arsenal at our disposal though. Going down to it, friend of mine pointed out yesterday that the ones applauding and cheering at Trumps rallies have a lot to ask themselves even if he doesn't get nominated.
He won't get nominated but if he runs as independent it will get uglier.
Cruz is a bigger worry imo. Same message but stealthily made digestible. He's a real concern.

Nate silver has his support among the electorate as a whole, nation wide, at around 6-8%. That's the same amount of people that believe the moon landing was staged. There will always be that amount of batshit crazy people around. This isn't new.
It seems as though Hilary is just going to cruise to the Dem nomination, even with all of the controversy surrounding her, and the Republicans once again don't have their sh*t togther (which is sooooo irritating to me), so I could easily see a Trump v. Clinton ballot, which could be, quite possibly, the worst thing in the history of this country.

Sure, but has it ever really been as up front and center as it is now with Trump?

Yeah, and also because Trump gets points for not hating Kanye.
One of my favorite Ted Cruz quotes was about he was a fan of rock music until 9/11 but he didn't like how rock music responded to 9/11 so he realized that country music was where he belonged.

Only because we're in the midst of primary election season, and in the primaries the narrative drifts towards the fringes of the political spectrum. This won't be up front anymore when the election is over.

I mean Clinton would mop the floor with him and then it'd be politics as usual, so it probably wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

Clinton will be president, it is known, which will insure a republican president in 2020. You heard it here first. I will not concern myself with this silliness any further.

The Republicans haven't had their stuff together for the past two, now three, elections. What makes you think they will in 2020?
