Would he or wouldn't he? You decide:

Wednesday morning was just another example, as Trump appeared on CBS This Morning. Host Norah O’Donnell asked him what he would do about North Korea, given that the rogue state headed by dictator Kim Jong-un had recently violated a ban on missile tests and restarted a plutonium nuclear reactor.
“I would get China to make that guy disappear, in one form or another, very quickly,” Trump said.
Do you mean assassinate him? O’Donnell asked.
“No,” Trump began, before evidently changing his mind and saying, “well, you know, I’ve heard of worse things, frankly. This guy’s a bad dude.”


Wasn't there a movie about assassinating the leader of NK?

Yesterday he reiterated his desire to bring back waterboarding "and worse" on Hannity's radio show. Guy is on a roll.

It seems to make him stronger. Maybe it's his base? Actually that is the scary part, enough people in this country agree whit his wacky ideas he is a front runner.

While I don't disagree with the idea that certain interrogation techniques are not actually torture and should not have been discontinued, I think Mr. Trump is saying what he thinks a certain group of US Voters want to hear.

I will admit that I was at first somewhat positive in my assessment of him, I am now free of that.

The idea of asking the Chinese to "reign in" the psycho leading North Korea is simply silly. Almost as silly is the idea of the US and Russia working together to destroy ISIS. While he has done some great things for the Veterans and he did bring the immigration issue back to the front and in a big way, it is my hope the (R) narrow their field down quickly and start dismantling his run.

I'm sure he just says whatever pops into his carpet covered head. BUt, yeah...he is definitely not presidential, not even close.
 
In a slate of questionable candidates, it seems that the Republican base is intent on picking the worst.

Aside from his rather bombastic rhetoric, he's a moderate at worst.
I used to think he was the joke candidate, but assessing all the people in play, I think he's the least worst joke (in the conventional sense).
The rest hardly raise the pulse of anyone.

That is not an endorsement, I think they all suck.
 
I still cant believe Trump is a front runner.

It's just like my winning a hundred yard dash. Easily done if everybody else is worse.

The lineup:

An unindicted felon,
A self descried socialist
A theocrat (or 2)
A whole bunch of those whut brung us here establishment types
A loudmouth off the cuff businessman who at least can point to a couple of accomplishments.

The real question is how did the country ever get to this point?

Politicians are a reflection of the people who elect them.
That's what got us here.
 
Trump is a scourge on you Republicans just as is Mrs. Clinton.
