    I'm interested, any examples of someone who makes sense that you disagree with? Anyone I may have heard of? No snarkiness, honest question.

    "Makes sense" was probably a bad choice of words. I should have said there are people that say stuff I disagree with but still like because they present their beliefs and opinions as professionals. They don't say crazy stuff like "I know more about ISIS than the generals do" or "I'm the least racist person you'll ever meet" or "I like those who weren't captured" or "Latinos love me" when polls show 90% of them don't support him. Or insult women, insult anyone that doesn't agree with him. They act like mature adults and not some whiny child. I understand why people want an anti-establishment candidate, I just don't think Trump is the guy to provide that. He is not anti-establishment, he is pro-Trump. He would be pro-establishment if he could get power going that route. He says anything to his audience that he believes they want to hear. He pretty much says he knows more than the military, more than other politicians, more than other businessmen, more than everyone. His platform is that his ideas are better than everyone else. He's a clinical narcissist. But here are some people I respect that I do not agree with a lot of what they say, especially economically. Well, I think Jon Huntsman knows economics so I agree with him on that.

    Mitt Romney
    Paul Ryan
    Marco Rubio
    GWB
    Jon Huntsman
    Kasich
    Christie

    You are correct. Trump haters have a problem with English and the truth.

    He did just arrive in Scotland and the UK did take their country back. Granted, it wasn't clear but there's no reason to put a negative spin on it either. All sound and fury.

    All these complaints you have about him are immaterial. I'm trying to find substance in your position, I really am, but all I'm seeing is you calling him a bunch of names, and pointing to things he's said that you disagree with. I see what you said about polls, but I also see that these are probably the same "Latinos" that are being violent at anti-Trump rallies, or even at Trump rallies. You mean 90% of those Latinos? Their opinion doesn't matter to me, but their behavior makes me call out for the Wall even louder than I did before.

    The Latinos that live on the border love Trump, and those are the Latinos whose opinions I respect.

    Yep, I saw images of a couple of responses to his idiocy earlier. Comedy gold!

    There's no way around it. He simply misspoke and had no clue what Scotland thought. But the irony is the best part, because he's using a country that didn't want what he is promoting to do to America. It's absolutely hilarious. Just another quote to store in the Trump list. There's a lot of them. Dudes a crazy person. One of my favorites is when he said “There's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am“.

    That's the point. He has no substance. His entire position is he knows what to do more than everyone else and they should just vote for him. When asked about the military he says “There's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am“. No substance. When asked about ISIS he claims to know more about it than generals do. No substance. He has no substance. He is a walking narcissistic machine. How anyone can listen to that man go on and on about how he's the greatest thing in the world is beyond me. I'd think any grown man should be disgusted with him.

    And what a joke you are bringing up the couple latinos that are at Trump rallies as if 90% of them are out there starting fights, lol. I thought you were being serious until you made these comments. You're just a Trump fan. Probably fit his demographic. Sorry to hear that.

    I like him. I like his idea of going back to legal immigration. I think that is a very solid plan to kick them out and keep them from coming back illegally, regardless of where they came from, Much like Mexico does on it's southern border.

    I'm a joke? Have I not presented my position clearly and respectfully? If I were to show you video proof of more than just a couple "Latinos" behaving badly at Trump rallies would that change your mind? I don't understand why you have changed tactics from stating your position to calling me a joke.

    Your comments were a joke. You made sense for a while until you mentioned that the 90% of latinos that do not like Trump were at rallies behaving badly. Your motive became clear. Good luck with Trump. You're going to need it.

    Because much ado is made about this nothing it hampers more legitimate criticism further down the road. It makes his opponents look more like cranks than bipartisan observers..

    His crass ignorance is well recognised in Scotland, where his false promises are as empty as his wallet. His bullying and harassment of his neighbours and literal bulldozing of a special site of scientific interest has made him broadly reviled.

    This is wrong.

    Scotland joined the UK. The UK joined the EU. The UK has now decided they will leave the EU. Scotland is still a part of the UK. They can however vote to leave the UK.

    The simple fact, that some folks seem unable to comprehend, is Trump specifically mentioned SCOTLAND. He further referred to Scotland as "Place" and "they". If you believe he changed the subject in the middle of a few short words, please provide proof.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Wrong.

    I'm not a Trump hater. I'm a Trump voter. And I'm sick of his gaffes and blowing crap. He is losing votes, rapidly, because of his inability to think before he flaps his gums. He's the one who has a serious problem with the English language.

    Quoted for complete truth. I can't imagine how ridiculous Trump will get before the election. Just imagining the things he'll say in the debates makes me chuckle. This man will lose in historic fashion in November. It's almost Palin-like at times. Almost.

    Yes, Trump is the prince of idiots.

    swddew.png

    Scotland voted mostly to stay in the EU.

    Every Scottish district voted to stay in the EU.

    Trump is on crack or something.

    - - - Updated - - -

    LOL!!!

    Scotland is not a "province".

    they have an independent legal system, educational, and religious system.

    they have their own parliament.

    they are a country, part of a larger kingdom

    Scotland is part of the UK and 'they' voted to leave. He could have been anywhere in the UK and still said they voted to leave and been correct. It is also correct that not all areas of the UK voted to leave. Many of the people who announced the vote were in London, but also said they voted to leave, when Londoners actually didn't.

    He probably heard the results when he arrived in Scotland and commented on them. Big deal!

    England voted to leave. Scotland voted to stay.

    Now Scotland has a damn good reason to leave the UK and rejoin the EU.

    Maybe they will form a Celtic Union with Ireland.

    "They" is the UK. The UK, of which Scotland is a part, voted to leave.

    I don't see any reason why the Scots cannot leave the UK and, if they choose, join the EU. It is not a geographical change.

    Maybe now Trump can duplicate Obama's 57 state tour.

    Anyone with half a brain tied behind their back know the Scots are daffy.
    Like really half crazed.Not just their male skirts and bagpipes.Their entire
    mindsets.Hard-headed,belligerent and down right silly to a fault.
    Not to be confused with the Scottish Enlightenment which steadfastly rejected
    any authority in favor of reason.What on earth every happened to that Scottish
    norm.Too Much good liquor { Scottish Whisky }. Too loud a bagpipe.
    To short the male skirts.
    The EU is if nothing else an Authority,Based in No reason.Just Power for the
    sake of power.
