Trump would be the kind of Diplomacy player who claims he's the best tactician and diplomat but only has a 6% win rate.

Donald Trump will Make America Great Again

He's got my vote

I'm cheering for Donald as well. Would make for such good television at my side of the pond. Hope he chooses his sec of state by a few months of the apprentice.. Palin as running mate, please santa, please.

We should also ask the bigger question - once elected, should a man like Donald really be constrained by political fanfare like Congress and a Supreme Court? #visionneedsspace

The US deserves Donald Trump and will one day have a reality-television president anyway.

I think all the serious presidential contenders should sit down for a game of Diplomacy. Each candidate should be matched up with the country most appropriate to their personality and style of politics. For example,

Austria: Bernie Sanders. A massive underdog at the beginning but has the potential to be a dominant force if left alone for too long. Much like Austria can easily grab Serbia but has to fight for any other centers, so too has Sanders already grabbed his low hanging fruit supporters (basically anyone on reddit) but will need to actively campaign to make any meaningful gains. Will definitely need support into Iowa.

England: Jeb Bush. Much like the English aristocracy, Bush is blessed with a long bloodline of royalty. Unfortunately, the relevant antecedent British monarchs for Bush are Richard III and a latter day George III. Is also overrated as a power.

France: Scott Walker. Like Wisconsin in recent years, Walker has had troubles with public sector unions. This makes him a perfect French player, whose unions are notorious for going on strike.

Germany: Donald Trump. Likes to push people around and plays well from a position of power. Also has an historical track record of bankruptcy and anti Semitism.

Italy: Marco Rubio. Like Italy, Rubio hails from a similarly peninsular state. Like Florida, Italy is filled with bad drivers and overrun with illegal immigrants.

Russia: Hillary. Already has a leg up on the competition, much like Russia's fourth home center. Unfortunately for the rest of the field, Hillary got a ten year head start and already holds all Balkan centers, Scandinavia, the Black Sea, and only needs one center to win.

Turkey: Rand Paul. Much like Turkey in the actual game, he's very difficult to eliminate. Much like Turkey historically, its very difficult to figure out how its considered to be a European power. Speaking of Turkish history, some Biblical scholars theorize that the great flood of Genesis may have been the Black Sea breaking through the Dardanelles. Which makes sense for Rand Paul, because he's going to need a fucking miracle to win.

if Bush made it, so can Trump

Trump is a thousand times worse than Bush.

Trump has an infinitesimally small chance of making it.

There are only three people in American history who did not hold political office before becoming President: Taylor, Grant and Eisenhower. All three of them were army generals.

Trump is a clown. He doesn't have what it takes.

@Jeff, I thought the presidents who had never held an elected office before were George Washington, Herbert Hoover, Ulysus S. Grant, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Zachary Taylor and William Howard Taft

Ulysses S Grant*

Hoover and Taft didn't have elected offices, but they did have political office before being president. And Washington and Grant were also both generals.

"The US deserves Donald Trump and will one day have a reality-television president anyway."

Absolutely right. We deserve him, and he exposes our democracy for what it is; so I masochistically support him.

Trump is a clown. The millennials want sanders he is the man America needs but doesn't deserve.

Most of the people that vote in primaries and caucuses are the extremists. That's why we get such bad choices leading in the polls.

I sincerely hope that Donald Trump wins the Republican primary...

Probably because I'm voting Democrat this election.

@Thucy,

"Absolutely right. We deserve him, and he exposes our democracy for what it is; so I masochistically support him."

Does that mean that if he loses, your twaddle about our democracy is exposed for what it is?

The thought of Donald Trump in control of nukes is scary.

He'll be far too tempted to end phone calls to Putin and Castro with "You're Fired!"

if he loses, it just means the other rich guys weren't into it. Which they arent - he's not going to win. But he is symbolic of the underlying ill, which is what makes him so brilliant. He is a pure product of american capitalism. People ask him moral questions; he defends himself in monetary terms. His opponents don't make as much money as he does, so he has the moral high ground. Dollars buy votes, and for this reason trump will lose, bdcause everytbing wrong with him is a critique of the somewhat more civilized elites, so they will tank him. It will be hard to do, because the things that make Trump disgusting make the elites disgusting.

There's probably quite a few reasons why Trump is disgusting.

And Thucy has yet to hit on any of them.

Selfish, self-obsessed, consumerist, animalistic, macho, uncompassionate, rude... I mean where do you want me to start?

Racist?

Bigoted.

Not to mention the unethical and occasionally downright criminal conduct he encouraged on a semi-regular basis with the contestants on his TV game show.

Trump is a circus clown in a suit, not anyone who should be taken seriously.

Uncompassionate people are bigots almost to a man, but yes he is also a bigoted piece of shit, and blames poor people for poverty, and looks down on the poor, and so on,

Hence why he is the perfect candidate for the Republican Party and indeed for the presidency in today's America

Classist, racist, criminal. He's the bad boss that makes you want nothing more than to get fired.
