Trump would be slightly more palatable if he stuck to his positions. He will say something like “kill all Muslims and their familes” one week and the next transition to “waterboard all Muslims”, then “soften” it due to his extreme “flexibility” to “we need skilled Muslims”...
Ok, being hyperbolic myself here but not too far off the mark on Isis, Syrian refugees, the wall and H1B. A Trump apologist might suggest that this proves he can learn and pivot. I think he is the ultimate lying politician. He just does not have the experience with the media tracking every word he has ever said or will say. The others are a bit more chary and street-wise. I am not sure an outsider in Washington has a chance of being effective at anything. At least not for the first few years. Especially for a president. Like saying a walk on (having never played - even in high school) in the NFL can play QB and score in the super bowl. It will never happen.

Starting at dog catcher. There are a few others I would put into the same category. Cruz & Carson would be on the list as "not fit for dog catcher". bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/21/2016 9:30 AM, Travis Johnson wrote: It's funny that everyone says "You can't say that and win"... yet Utah has voted Republican for the last 10 elections (40 years). I think it's a lot like Idaho, that many people check the first "Republican" box on the first page, and never turn the book to even see who that is or what they even stand for. Do you really think if Trump wins the nomination that Utah would vote for Hillary over Trump? A woman as President, in a state of 50% Mormon, where they don't allow women to hold any real leadership positions? Trump knows he has Utah and Idaho because they have voted Red for the last 40 years.

IMO A chief executive should have some experience with the legislative process and some military experience. Foreign policy experience would be something I would look for on a resume. Trump has been saying that he doesn’t really mean or believe some of the hyperbolic things that have came out of his mouth. I know the Lt. Gov fairly well here in Utah. His family are 100 year ILEC owners. Have known them for years. This is what he said after the Trump speech: "I need to say this, OK, ...and last night Donald Trump did something and said something that I never thought I'd see a candidate for president do and say, especially someone in the Republican Party." "Think about that for a second," Cox told the crowd. "A person running for office, in our party, thinks it's OK that if you question his politics, he can question your religion. I have a message for the 3 million people in Utah for Mr. Donald Trump: That's not how we roll in Utah, and that's not how we roll in the United States of America."

Everyone else running is a "lifer"... someone that has been in politics or has wanted to be, their entire life. Nobody else is going to make any REAL changes. It's time for something different. It's also refreshing to have someone say what they REALLY think... instead of giving lip service for six months before the election, and then having them not do anything that they said. At least Trump is saying what he thinks. Travis On 3/21/2016 9:24 AM, Chuck McCown wrote: He may be super smart and has ideas that really could be good for the country. He may be a super skilled negotiator. He may be lots of things. He looks like a megalomaniac bully that has no social graces. I don’t care if he was running for the local chamber of commerce, you just cannot act like that if you want to represent me and my interests.
