SurSteven:
So Trump will turn 70 this year...and his (3rd and counting) current wife will turn 46. That means that he turned 30 not long after she graduated from kindergarden.
Almost 70 and has had three wives, yet still feels the need to call a woman going to the bathroom disgusting and calling it out in public. Somehow think he is still trapped in the mind of a 9 year old.

I think 9 is probably being generous.

I think in this Current Election we should recall the lessons that should have been taught in Nazi Germany. Because it seems that Trump is trying to Copy that era, I studied Sociology in College and the History of WWII and I paid attention in Class , I hope that other voters did as well love doris

I still have a hard time believing Trump will be the Republican nominee. In the beginning of his run, he at least generated discussions that needed to be discussed...but he's way outdone his usefulness at this point

Hillary Clinton Is Not Telling The Truth About Wall Street: "...Clinton's attack on Sanders is as simple as it is untrue: Unlike Sanders, Clinton has argued, she is willing to take on "shadow banking" -- a broad term for various financial activities that aren't regulated as strictly as conventional lending. Sanders has in fact proposed attacking shadow banking in two principal ways: by breaking up big financial firms that engage in shadow banking, and by severing federal financial support for shadow banking activities by reinstating Glass-Steagall. These would be substantive changes. A lot of shadow banking takes place at firms with traditional banking charters, like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America. ..." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hillary-clinton-wall-street_568ed8d6e4b0cad15e6415cd

45 Million Americans Live in Poverty, but You Wouldn?t Know It From Watching 2016 Coverage One of the most pressing issues facing America is ignored by our corporate media "Of the five Republican debates and of the three Democratic debates, not one moderator has asked a question involving the words ?poverty? or ?poor.? While the subject has been touched upon by some of the Democratic candidates, namely Bernie Sanders and briefly Jim Webb, the topic has been entirely unmentioned by the moderators during the three Democratic debates. In the GOP debates, the candidates only bring up the topic as a way to swipe President Obama, which is fair enough but is not a discussion of poverty much less a good-faith attempt to mitigate it. By comparison, the Democratic debate moderators brought up ?ISIS? or ?Terrorism? 21 times total in all three debates. ..." http://www.alternet.org/election-2016/45-million-americans-live-poverty-you-wouldnt-know-it-watching-2016-coverage

I'll add: Disregard most of the corporate-media spin. Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton are not even in the New Hampshire primary polls -- Bernie is ahead by 13 points. And he has significantly closed Hillary Clinton's lead in Iowa. The corporate media, DNC and its head, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, are a disgrace, and their pro-Hillary lies are only making the Sanders surge that much stronger.

Bernie Sanders? Projected Lead In New Hampshire And Iowa Creating A Chink In Clinton?s Armor: "...Over the course of the first few months after announcing her presidential candidature, Clinton and her campaign ? not very much unlike the American media ? continued to rally without as much as acknowledging Bernie Sanders as a credible challenger for the nomination. But now, it appears, the tables have been turned. As the Inquisitr reported recently, Sanders is ahead of Clinton by a 50-37 percent margin among New Hampshire Democratic primary voters in the recent polls, substantially extending his lead from mid-November, when the Vermont senator was projected to lead Hillary Clinton by merely one percent. The poll also threw some light on the makeup of Sanders? support pool, with the senator harboring a great support from people under the age of 45. Moreover, women supporters have often been considered to prefer Sanders over Clinton, an approximation which gathered some evidence as the poll showed that women were seven percent more likely to vote for Bernie Sanders than they were to vote for Clinton. ..." http://www.inquisitr.com/2695295/bernie-sanders-projected-lead-in-new-hampshire-and-iowa-creating-unease-for-hillary-clintons-campaign/

Bernie Sanders 'Destroys' Donald Trump By 13 Points, 6 More Than Clinton. Here's Why: "According to a December 22, 2015 article in The Hill titled In blockbuster poll, Sanders destroys Trump by 13 points, Bernie Sanders would achieve a "landslide of epic proportions" against The Donald. The article explains that within "the new Quinnipiac poll, Clinton would defeat Trump by 7 percentage points... while the Sanders lead of 13 points would bring a landslide of epic proportions." In October, I wrote an article titled Bernie Sanders Defeats Trump By a Wider Margin Than Clinton in a General Election, when polls months ago dispelled the myth that Hillary Clinton could perform better than Sanders on a national stage. ... ... If voters want a conservative on war, foreign policy, and Wall Street, they'll vote for a Republican, not a "moderate" Democrat with neoconservative advisers. This isn't the 90's and progressive values aren't a liability to the Democratic Party. Ending mass incarceration and wealth inequality are mainstream issues, and gay marriage is a right, despite the convenient evolution (Clinton opposed gay marriage up until 2013) of certain Democrats. As for mass incarceration, Hillary Clinton accepted campaign donations from two major prison lobbyists, but will now apparently donate this money to charity. Because a moderate Democrat like Clinton needs to continually evolve from a conservative viewpoint to a progressive stance (I highlight why Clinton evolves so often in this YouTube segment), truly moderate voters, or conservative-leaning independents, would more likely choose Trump. ..." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/h-a-goodman/bernie-sanders-destroys-donald-trump-by-13-points-6-more-than-clinton-_b_8936840.html

Does that make him less qualified to be president? And if so, will those same standards apply to the next person?

If history teaches us anything it's that people never learn the lessons of history. It is repeating itself and will continue to repeat itself.

If anything, all of Trump's hate mongering and bigotry will serve to help the Democrats, no matter who is nominated.
