    this is an insane thing to say. because, look, we all have different political beliefs, so i'll set aside the fact that trump doesn't even bother disguising his racism. he hasn't offered anything in the way of substantive policy proposals. you'd be voting for his rhetoric.

    I hope Americans are smart people and will not buy his populist agenda. There are enough maniacal leaders in the world.

    If it goes down to Clinton/Trump, Trump's got my vote

    It's true, the Mexicans comment was completely taken out of context. Chad remembers Trump saying that a lot of Mexicans who go over the border illegally are criminals.

    And interestingly enough, the ban all Muslims thing sorta happened before, Jimmy Carter did something similar during the hostage clusterfuck in the late 70's.

    this type of polling is largely meaningless this far out. but your larger point--that the kind of gaffes that we all assumed would sink him not only aren't sinking him, but are helping his cause--is exactly right.

    i'd still put my money on cruz, then rubio, then trump, in that order, but it could happen--at least the nomination.

    So what if they're creationists? That doesn't mean they don't know anything about science at all. That's what Chad assumes you're talking about, or perhaps it's evolution?

    Also, Chad loves seeing the word "belief" associated with science.

    Science isn't something to believe in. It just is. It's supposed to be fact. It isn't a religion.

    Chad believes that you can have an interest in science and be religious at the same time, but that's just C-Wizzy.

    People can say what that want about Trump supporters. But the bottom line is we are people who see a country going in a terrible direction. I see Trump as a leader. Yes there is a lot to hate but I think he is the most honest and smartest in this election. Hes not controlled either unlike Hilary who does not really care about the country. Trump is the only one that I see with passion in running the country.

    I'm not worried about the caucus anymore.
    Nate Silver is the best in the game at predictions.

    Still, you can win the caucus and lose the election.

    i have this irrational fear it's going to happen like part of the story arc for last season of South Park, where everyone just thinks its joke and until suddenly it's too late, and he's f---ing president and ruins literally god d--- everything
