Trump has not got the nomination. He lacks the delegates.
Really?

The Roman government wasn't delivering the hope and change that the provincial governments wanted. The people got sick of the political lines we hear today in 2016 back over 2,000 years ago.

History repeats. To have a powerful president you have to SEIZE the day, SEIZE the power to enact change. CAESAR was not about having seizures, that's just liberal historian bullshit. In the lands outside of Rome he was called the SEIZAR, the title meant "All-powerful, the one who seizes". Each new leader would take on the title of Caesar, as in "I am the Caesar".

They recognized it takes powerful men to create powerful change, and so his name became an actual title to bestow upon people worthy of such recognition.
It's important to note that the president is not a dictator. Caesar was. The qualities you need to be a successful dictator are a lot different than the qualities you need to be a successful president. (note how difficult "success" might be to define here).

The qualities to be a good dictator are actually a lot more similar to the qualities it takes to be a good CEO. Given Donald's background, you can see why a lot of people thinks he honestly has the wrong idea of how to lead.

FDR, whatever you think about his politics, was the most successful at getting the most though. But he elected under conditions that are extremely uncommon -- someone like him couldn't even exist today for a whole shitload of cultural reasons I won't get into. But even he had to deal with the courts shutting down half his agenda.

Now that Trump is the Republican "Presumptive" candidate, I will never vote Republican again. The Republican party is no longer conservative. They're merely "Democrat lite."

Guy wants to deport or monitor muslims, build a wall to keep the Mexicans out and he's "democrate lite"?

I don't pretend to know the ins and outs of American politics but that seems a bit whack to me.

If u were a conservative you'd be able to spot liars like trump a mile away. Why do u think we turned against the GOP.

Trump won't build a wall.
He probably will start WWIII.
He will destroy the economy.

Out of all those listed, I'm mostly concerned about the potential Trump has to actually drag us to multiple wars. This guy is a narcissist. Any time some leader goads him, he will demand revenge. The president doesn't have the much power over the economy (believe it or not), he has waaaay more power over our armed forces and international affairs. For that fact alone, foreign policy will be the arena Trump is attracted to. He is destined to start shit.

Because you are a globalist, like the whining neocons and the raging libtards/progressives. Two sides of the same damn coin. You didn't turn your back on the GOP, you are full on pro-establishment, which turned it's back on the voters. Cruz is nothing but a sleeper-neocon, he got exposed and his remaining support plummeted flat out. F your neocon/libtard wars, F your global trading regions. We've had enough!
