Sorry, what madman and dumb sheep are you talking about? Erdogan and turks or orange Hitler and his voters?

He went on record saying nukes would be an option. Didn't know it required an "Euro-genius" to see that as a problem. Do you want to keep americans safe? Making sure every one hates you is not the way to go, and that is all that Trump will achieve. You keep trying to solve symptoms and not root causes and you'll never get anywhere, but I guess that is too hard to understand also.

It's simple. Last time Americans voted for an idiot, we got the Iraq war. And THAT was what made space for ISIS and consequently a big part of the mess in Syria. And that is working pretty badly for us, and that is why we don't want someone like Trump who makes Bush seem like Einstein. Second, why do you think Putin and the NK Kim are the only foreign leaders supporting Trump? I'm much more scared of how dumb and and thin skinned Trump is than Clinton. Not that I love Clinton, she will just push the classic American agenda down everyone's throats, which is pretty sucky, but I rather have someone intelligent and less temperamental with the finger on the trigger than Trump.

As an European, this thread is the scariest thing I've read about the upcoming presidential elections. One is used to seeing the Trump defenders through the eyes of something like the Daily Show: uneducated, dumb, religious nuts rednecks. Here, in slashdot, where the average person has access to so much information, the fact that people still consider Trump the lesser of two evils...is terrifying and I guess it shows why he might actually win. It's like Brexit, except that with Brexit, UK will take most of the hit. The moment a man child with thin skin and a brain the size of wallnut gets military power...we shall all suffer.
