What is your opinion on him? I don't want people criticizing others for an opinion, so please be reasonable and not too emotional here. Criticize the guy, criticize the view, but don't make it personal.

Do I agree with his opinion of deporting illegal immigrants - yes

Who I will be voting for in the 2016 GOP Primaries - Rand Paul

He is a megalomaniac with money, simply put, he knows he is better off than most people and does things anyone else in his position of power would do (considering they are just as insane). However, disregarding his "Trump-o-mania", he is borderline Fascist as he is practically considering any migrant or "possible-terrorist" to be deported. He isn't talking about just some needle in the haystack stuff either, he is trying to deport people on a massive scale. Other than the fact this is practically impossible, the only reason he could never do so is due to the US Constitution, which would scream dictator if he got means to deport every undesirable from the country. Overall he is just an independent under the guise of the Republican Party, designed to make the other candidates look better in comparison. His racism is tolerable as it comes off very comedic (if you take him seriously, go kill yourself plz); he is a sideshow of the grand scheme, it just so happens he has taken all our attention from the bigger matters. Have you ever heard him say something remotely plausible? I haven't, and if i missed something I must off gotten bored of the non-applicable policies coming from the guys mouth.

To Bush: Trump this, Trump that
To Everyone else: You had problem X, how did you solve it?
To Trump: You had problem X, why did you have problem X?

This is obviously what I'm talking about:

When he actually puts out a coherent policy paper...maybe I'll take him seriously. Otherwise I just see him as a plant by the Democratic Party to assure that Hillary Clinton wins 2016.

College humour classic

He's not stupid or racist as the media portrays him, but he is an idiot. The man does not have The Man's vote for Republican primary.

Trump....
Somebody throw him out of a window.
I despise his policies on Mexicans and Muslims.
He sounds a lot like a Fascist...
Please. Shut him up.

Trump is not a fascist. Trump does not sound like a fascist. Trump does not act like a fascist.

Please reserve use of the term fascist for people who truly deserve it. I get pretty irritated with people who throw around that word for fun as a pejorative. Overuse of that word, even to draw comparisons between Trump and Hitler, is frankly insulting to Jewish people who were truly subjected to the full ugliness of what that word means.

/\
There were other Fascist nations (Spain and Italy)
Comparisons with Trump and Hitler (and only Hitler) based on government would be about Nazism.

Will I be voting for her - no

lel most of y'all are like in middle school. You won't be voting for anyone.

No...I'm 18. Strongly considering not even voting in my first Presidential Election. Of course it depends on who the final candidates are...but if current polling is any indication...I may just have to take a heavy dose of alcohol, hold my nose, and vote 3rd party. Both political parties are disgusting. Represent America my ass.

17 year old, not American, but following the American Presidential election...

Do I support Bernie Sanders? No.

Bernie Sanders is getting a lot of support, especially from younger generations because he offers a lot of 'candies' - Free College Education, Medicare, more social security etc.

WSJ estimates they will cost 18 trillion. Federal budget this year is ... 3.8 trillion. Go figure.

Of course, Bernie Sanders talks about taxing the rich. Every time he talks, its the same quoting of statistics - how the top 1% or 10% own too much wealth. How the bankers in Wall street are stereotypically greedy and big firms are exploiting tax loopholes. Thats all fair enough. But 1% is 3.2 million people and 10% is 32 million. These people include small business owners, doctors, people who work hard to pay their healthcare costs, and save up to repay their student debts, and now Bernie Sanders comes in and supports slapping tax rates of up to 90% on them so that younger generations can get a free pass, or so that able-bodied people can receive welfare payments because they are too lazy to work. And if you slap such high tax rates on the rich, whats to stop your most productive citizens from leaving? Who will you tax now?

You see similar attitudes in other issues. Bernie Sanders say take away border security and grant illegal immigrants immediate citizenship and amnesty, while meanwhile thousands across the world go through proper procedure and wait all their lives to receive a green card.

Just because his ideas are sweet and likeable doesn't mean they are good. There's no such thing as 'free'. Your benefits are someone else's burden..

To be honest, all the presidential candidates have a lot of things wrong with them.

They always do, being politicians, of course....

This isn't to say Trump isn't terrible......

This is obviously what I'm talking about:

Wow, that's bloody brilliant. Nicely done, whoever did that. :-D

I'm a bit of a yes and no with Donald Trump.

Trump isn't as bad as many in the media try to portray. He's been taking a lot of storm, being called a fascist after his proposed deportation of illegals and immigration ban on Muslims.

Apart from the fact that Donald Trump's campaign does not possess many fascist qualities, the people he wants deported are illegal immigrants, not because they are Mexicans or because they are Muslims, but because they are illegally staying in the country. And the so called 'ban' is only temporary, and based on grounds of security rather than on their religion. The threat from ISIS is fairly credible in my opinion, considering ISIS has been constantly releasing videos threatening attacks on US soil. FBI said it can't vet people coming in, and I think it is absurd to be allowing in entire populations with potential terrorists. Its easy to occupy the moral high ground and criticize when you aren't responsible for the outcome of decisions.

That being said, Donald Trump's campaign has many unrealistic and dubious factors...

A temporary ban on ALL muslims is unnecessary and exaggerated, considering there are nearly 2 billion Muslims in the world. I'm not even sure how they can decide whether people coming in are Muslims or not. A more realistic plan would probably be to ban people from countries such as Syria and Iraq for the time being, that would be easier to regulate as well. Trump's wall plan is pretty dubious as well. How Mexico will pay for such a project I don't know, and I don't think a project of that scale could be completed during his presidency. He compares it to the Great Wall of China, which took centuries to build.

Donald Trump usually just tells you WHAT he will do if he is president, rather than elaborate on HOW he will do it, so it is difficult to nitpick.

MArco Rubio is the only one worth voting for in GOP. Donals is a liberal with anti immigration policies, which apparently makes him a republican

LOL Marco Rubio is an arrogant over-confident establishment Republican who thinks he's the heir prince to the Republican Party. He doesn't care about the base or Republican voters. He's lazy and thinks he'll win just with money and advertisement. He'll lose Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina easily.
