For sheer obnoxious stupidity it would be hard to find a greater overall dickhead on the face of the earth, Dan.

But then again...... there's Marco Rubio, Chris Christie, Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee, Jeb Bush, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Rick Perry, George Pataki, Lindsey Graham, Rick Santorum, Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh & etc, & etc, & etc,& etc, & etc.

Kind of a "primus inter pares" situation.

> No Mexicans

Now, now. He didn't say that *all* Mexicans were drug dealers, murderers, and rapists.

He was talking about those who come here illegally.

He also "assumed" that "some" of those "are good people."

So a few could be just normal.

How can people in this country not turn him into a non entity and shun him and his business.

Because, thanks to massive cuts in aid to education, thanks to Fux News, thanks to 'government is the enemy' Ronnie Raygun et. al, we've raised up several consecutive generations of complete and utter idiots in the U.S.

See Idiot America by Charles Pierce - he lays it out pretty well.

We have met the enemy, and he is us.

OldDude: "Please god letthe rRepublican party pick him. Then the dems are a shoe in..."

That has been my thought too, Dan, and then a scary thought leapt in: If the GOP faithful are strange enough to make him their nominee, then how could we be certain that a sufficient number of Americans are sane enough to send him packing?

I hate to say it but I will quote: Never underestimate the stupidity of the American voter.

Just imagine the guy as our president...

Polling ar second, but he still has only about 14% of Republican votes.

That means nearly 7/8 of the GOP don't want him.

For now.

comment from one of my favourite cartoons, Doonesbury which I've been following since it started in Australian newspapers many decades ago

TRUMP
Derek Stenfield | Galesburg, IL | June 17, 2015

It's a gift from the gods to have Trump formally in the 2016 race. But since you aren't doing dailies right now, how about you do us a solid and dig into the archives and treat us to some Classic Trump. He's been in the strip a zillion times. Por favor?

Editor's Note:

Easily said and done. To revisit Trump strips and storylines from 1987, 1989, 2007, 2011 and 2015, click here. De nada.

for those who aren't getting a regular dose of daily Doonesbury & Doonesbury flashbacks

The Donald is the best show in town, right now. Did you hear some Mexican is making Donald Trump pinatas. I want one.

From there to here, from here to there,
They sing of the man with the plastic hair.
With a hump and a bump, and a clump and a slump
And a high hurrah for Donald Trump.

Hear him speaking every night
With his mouth wide open and his mind shut tight.
With a jump and a stump and a slump and a chump
And a high hurrah for Donald Trump.

A poll of responsible polls, which means individual errors and biases (presumably low already) tend to cancel each other out.

My problem is that with the low quality of the candidates the Republicans are putting up the Dems don't have to be very picky about the quality of their own candidates. At present, it looks like a shoo in for either Clinton or Sanders. That's a dangerous situation.
