There were no good candidates except Trump. The rest of the field was comprised of party ball washers, except Dr. Carson who is too meek for the Presidency.

Not me, I will vote for Trump, but haven't yet. What we know now has been obvious forever. If he could "mind his mouth" the race would be his. He can not.

Correct. Virtually the only way to the presidency is to be a politician of some stripe and that's the problem. Their qualifying factor is my disqualifying factor. Once you're a politician you are owned by someone (plural). Trumps' ability to be a maverick is appealing. F'k the establishment and the cronyism it's created.

Seemed obvious enough, but here we are.
It's like the Browns are about to win the Superbowl because the Patriots decided to start Tebow. Lol.

be prepared to recieve a passenger pigeon or a smoke signal at that point. the internet, telly, and other commo's won't be trustworthy if one doesn't wish to find themselves in the gulag.
Curious as to how many would change their primary vote if we knew then what we know now?
Well... I was all set to vote for Cruz but by the time you and I voted in the WA primaries Cruz had been mathematically eliminated (at least when I sent in my ballot) and the only person on the ballot that had any balls to stand up to the media and Clinton was Trump. So Trump got my vote.
Despite the defeatists around here... THERE WAS NO REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE THAT WAS GOING TO STAND UP TO THE MEDIA. FIRST REPORTER TO LEVEL "RACIST, HOMOPHOBE, ISLAMOPHOBE, SEXIST, ETC." WOULD HAVE CAUSED ANY OF THE OTHER 16 TO COWER AND GO RUNNING FOR THE HILLS. Except **maybe** Cruz and Carson. Cruz would have launched into a sermon to prove he wasn't the -ist flavor of the day and turned people off (this isn't a dig at evangelicals, just Cruz's style). Carson, as mentioned, is too soft spoken to be the leader of this country. Carson can't handle the aggressive media.
I've said it before and will say it again. I would rather have Cruz as president. Cruz would have lost in a landslide to Clinton, as would have any of the other 15 people that tried to get the nod except Trump. None of the non-Trump candidates would have carried more than maybe one swing state.
I just don't understand the fact some people think we're doomed and have given up.
ETA: Carson and Cruz were usually right, but when making their point they took too damned long beating around the bush (no pun intended). They would never have said anything bad about illegals streaming across the southern border for fear of the media. Trump comes right out and calls them criminals but yet that some are good people. Trump speaks directly to the citizens, no media filter. He's right on a lot of stuff, he knows it, we know it. It's his message and how it is delivered resonating with people- not the candidate. If Cruz or Carson had the exact same message and delivery, we wouldn't have Trump. PERIOD!
I think Kasich would have beaten Clinton. I think he would have nominated SC justices that were 20% more conservative than Clinton will get approved. I think he would have kept a R majority in the Senate, and might have gained a few seats in the House.
Not perfect, but he has run a government, and Ohio has EVERYTHING: seaports, rustbelts, college towns, appalachia, coal mining, manufacturing, agriculture, railroads, interstates, blacks, whites, serbo-croatians, inner-city , Amish, rural.
My money was on Perry for the nomination, so you know how good I am at picking horses.

Trump has made a living convincing people he has what they want. don't feel bad about being taken in by him, he has suckered people for 40 years, he is a pro.

i totally agree with your every sentiment. but does that make the hillary one iota better, given her history of "service?"
we're choosing between the lesser of the two, or maybe the greater? i don't know for sure. sure trump is a bit warty, but isn't hillary a bit more warty than even he?
the good news is that the day after the election the sun will arise & set on schedule.
