The one thing that keeps coming to mind was when he said he "still has the receipts " for all the candidates on the stage, and that he didn't need money, so he couldn't be bought. This to me was a profound statement, not sure it will sway my vote, but something to think about. I'll be watching him in the coming months.

Trump is an asshole. He's unlikable and shady as hell. But you know what? He's not Hillary. I don't like him but maybe he's the asshole we need.
Interesting that his polls rise after what he said... This says something about the state of our politics
Sanders isn't significantly different to trump: http://freebeacon.com/blog/donald-trump-and-bernie-sanders-are-the-same-person-analysis-finds/

Do you not know about Bernie Sanders? He's the obvious choice if you don't want to flush the country down the shitter. He's got a record of consistency, honesty, and hard work. He's always stood for what he believes in. He's not taking money from billionaires so he's pissing off the media so they paint him like a lunatic.

Pay no attention to the Communist over here ladies and gentlemen. He's not to be trusted.

I all ways see trump, as a non-american, like this: Not the one you want, not the one you need, but the one you deserve. When you have a political system that so laughably un-democratic, and when the one with the most money wins, this is what you get!
But i also like his "fuck you" attitude, we need more people like that.

"But he speaks his mind!"
His mind is shit. Cut it out.

It's refreshing to see someone who won't be bullied into following the accepted talking points; even if he's a giant douche.
"You can't say that!" "Oh yeah?"

Yeah I like him as a troll and the fact that he just says fuck you to the broken political system. But the fact that some people are taking him seriously kind of scares me.

Well, he's shaping up to be a good Zaphod. I meant, nobody truly believes anyone is going to implement any real change with this broken system right?

I get your reference, and am surprised at how well it fits. Trying not to panic.
