Is there a sane one amongst the candidates?
Clinton's a shoe-in I reckon.
The world would be a different (and scarier) place with this guy in charge...

The non thinking man's Putin.
We would have World War 3 in two seconds flat if that moron got elected.
If it's any of the Republicans we are screwed. Black Jesus (that's Greg Proops nickname for him) hasn't exactly been the saviour a lot of people hoped he would be but that's not all his fault. The difficulty is finding a half decent candidate that hasn't been corrupted by the the necessary billionaire backers they need just to run for office.
It's a bit like our own election in 2015 - lots of candidates to choose from, all of them arseholes.
It looks like the second biggest arsehole won ours, so I hold out hope that the consolation in 2016 is that Trump goes the way of Nigel Farage.

Yet, strangely, still preferable to Hilary 😯

I'd rather have Kim Jong-Un in charge of them than that nut job.
Hill's for shits n giggles i reckon..

Yes, you are Labrat.
It could be good for the world in the long run if Trump was president. It could brake the hold that US political dogma seems to have over most of the world.
I'm praying it's Clinton, the GOP candidates are all insane.
Dear Leader Trump over Clinton (Hilary) any day.
Bernie Sanders over *lying Clinton wall street fan girl (who also lied about her plane getting shot at)
If Trump got in, there would not be enough ground space to bury all the bodys of anyone who isn't white. Not even the original inhabitants of America would be safe. Think the refugee status in the UK is bad now, just think how many people would be fleeing America to get away from Trumps gun toting fan club.
all you need to do is look at who spends the most on the campaign, they will win
Clinton is likely to win it, Bush is second favourite.
Which means in terms of president terms between 1989 and 2021 it'll be:
Bush, Bush, Clinton, Clinton, Bush, Bush, Obama, Obama, Clinton or Bush.
And they say we've got a rigid class system 😉
If it's true that you get the politicians you deserve, WTF have the Americans been up,to?
Marco Rubio is the best shot of sanity from the Republican base and, experience aside, could give Hilary a run for her money should he stay in contention.
Is there any way we could shoot Trump with a tranquiliser and install him in a big truman show fake world, in which he becomes president? Because it's a shame to miss out on all the comedy, just for the sake of avoiding world war 3.
The Republicans just seem to have lurched further and further to the right until its distilled down to the pure essence of xenophobia, religious ignorance, and 'there's no such thing as society' capitalism
I think a big part of the problem is the way their political system is funded, sadly ours seems to be heading that way...

Rubio is relatively sane but his preferred church....
But an investigation of Rubio's Miami Baptist megachurch reveals, notably, an anti-homosexual hiring policy, the promotion of demonology and exorcism, Young Earth creationism, and denial of evolution.

I'd PAY for that, let alone vote for it...

🙂 I like that one.
I was over during some of the debates, you have to experience the terrifying right wing media to appreciate it. I think bush is too left for some of them. The right is demanding the far right, Trump will pick up on the attacks and fear mongering. Black Jesus wants to implement a tax rate based on the bible despite it coming up short by several billion, the rest of the right want to close down government.
From the left (Rest of the world right of centre) Clinton comes across well, for the rest of the world Clinton is the best hope I reckon.

Black Jesus is a reference to the Nobel Peace Prize with a Assassination Hitlist (Obama) not the biblical fantasist (Ben Carson), surely?
Trump will pick up on the attacks and fear mongering
Yep!

Jesus Mary and Joseph that man is ****ed up.
I bet he wins.
You ought to follow the choosing of candidates on Fox News - I've started trolling them on Twitter, it's entertaining. If Trump or Carson get in then I'm sure a CIA hit squad will be after me
Hilary, would you?..

It's a common though, they suggested Australians were in danger and oppressed after they implemented sensible gun laws in the wake of a mass shooting. Guess what, it worked. The everyone is safer if everyone is armed is a tick in the NRA vote box. You can almost hear some of the republicans making sure they hit every note in the rights song sheet of crazy ideas - problem is they need to as so many people think they are good ideas.

[/img]Quite possibly the only 'reality TV show' I could ever bring myself to watch;
Trump is batsh1t insane, what's scarier is that there are enough other insane people who consider him a viable candidate* to lead a country, and not just any country, one with enough power and resources to do a lot of harm in the wrong hands.
One batsh1t insane guy is easy to deal with, but a large number of them who support him is a tougher problem, and far scarier, beacuse it means it isn't actually Trump that's the problem, he's just the symbol 🙁
*not that any of the others, or many of our own are much better.
Tsk you lot. The only sane person in that race is John McAfee.
You just know you can trust him, he's got one of those faces.

BSHC 😆 It doesn't make any sense but it's still funny
Trump isn't insane. He's just a cynical arsehole who will say whatever it takes to get his face on the gogglebox.
You lot should stop getting your knickers in a twist about Trump. Think about Obama's attempts to push through healthcare.
The American President can't get anything done without agreement from Congress and Senate.
Trump will, however, be excellent entertainment.
OP, its way too early to tell who will be the Republican nominee. The parallels to Europe are clear in some ways in the Carson and Trump are the anti-establishment candidates. Demoracts look likely to nominate Clinton, she's a very rational person.
What's clear is that whoever wins in 2016 is going to be further to the right politically than Obama,
Trump can't win, he might get enough support from the bat-shit-right to be the republican candidate but he'll never get anything from the center, which is where you need to be to win in a 2 party system (c.f. UKIP and the Greens, more idealistic than either of the main two, but all they do is split the left and right vote, tory's* won't vote green and lefties* are unlikely to vote UKIP.)
*as distinct from the terminally stupid who'll vote for whoever facebook/murdoch tells them too.
What will happen though will be Trump tearing all his opponents apart in attack ads. This will result in one of two (or three) things, either he'll get the nomination, or whoever does will have to either be squeeky clean and probably a shoe in for President, or will be so broke and vilified that they won't be able to mount a successful campaign against Clinton who will probably get the nomination with little more than token opposition.
thought this was amusingly ranty, if not the most considered analysis

Theory:
Trump is the GOP's version of Farage
Because all the abuse, opprobrium and doom mongering is aimed at him, then when he drops out of the race/is beaten, then it leaves the resultant actual candidate more attractive to the middle ground voter who wouldn't have considered them before. Essentially 'phew, they've cast aside the nutter, I can vote for them now'
Makes you think...
Quite plausible. I mean, compared to Trump, any swivel-eyed loon seems reasonable

Right up to the point where Carson started making him look like the sane one.

I assume that you're 'trolling', but in case you're actually not, care to amuse us with why you think this?
Or at least pretend. 🙂
Well, even if you discard her many previous lies - the calculated steps to cover up the Benghazi incident should rule her out of politics for life.

You're new to this whole politics thing aren't you?
ninfan - Memberit leaves the resultant actual candidate more attractive to the middle ground voter who wouldn't have considered them before.
Who is the sane candidate here, though? Rubio? Carson's good fun, the whole "The press is lying to you, I promise you I did once try to murder a child. Trust me." thing was ace. The others seem to be way back.

Wow, you're serious!
So, you'd really prefer a megalomaniac xenophobic nutter who'd happily bring about the total destruction of the planet, to Hilary Clinton?
Of course, Donald Trump has never lied. Oh no. 😆
Donald Trump's hair is the biggest lie ever told.
