Ok, that's what I was wondering about.  Yep, could be as simple as just wanting to win.  That is a risk I have admittedly not given much consideration because I have taken him seriously, so far.

The second part is still a valid question.  Obviously rhetorical at this point.  Can't get that answer unless he wins.

Thanks.

It is unfortunate that your system has produced such candidates as these two.   

 
I think the thing here is we can't let Trump win because it would screw the world.

If Hillary wins,it continues the Obama assault on America.

Can't win.Sorry America.The Libs have gutted you.

That's about how I sees it, other logical possibility is he is trying to help Clinton out with some smoke filled super secret squirrel plan they both came up with before all this mess started to insure Clinton the victory for some quid pro quo for Trump and all his businesses after she is coronated. As shady as both of them are, would not rule that out as a possibility.

I totally agree with everything you say above.  I can't tell if he is sincere about what he really wants to do if he wins.  I get that completely.  Its a crap shoot with anyone on that. Just sticking to the in it to win part is all.  Could be a turning point if he can establish beyond any doubt that he really is trying to win .

The only reason I bring this up is to ask those who doubt his sincerity in running for POTUS, does this change your thoughts on that ?

It's an interesting step. It appears he's listening to some advisers. but even right-wing outlets seem dubious about it.  Red State pretty much says he really didn't 'apologize'; he expressed 'regret' - regret for things he has continually denied saying or doing.

At least the Democrats who keep calling don't use a recording of their candidate's voice. That would push me over the edge.

Lost count of how many robocalls I've gotten from a PAC claiming to support Donald Trump. It does use his recorded voice, but when you push enough buttons to talk to a human she eventually rattles off a disclaimer that they aren't connected to any campaign so for all I know it may be a scam*.

Whatever. I told them that every time they call me I'm donating $10 to the Gary Johnson campaign. "Oh, the pothead?" the 2-pack-a-day voice asks me. Yeah, him. Take me off your list or he's getting at least $20 a day from me.

Hope that worked.

*Which leaves unanswered the question of which would I be more upset about, donations actually going to Donald Trump or to a boiler room in the Bahamas making some bunko artist rich.
