I want Jeb to win so he can give everyone in the country one of his turtles, then tell us all to please clap for him.

I've always wanted a turtle

[Drydess]

i still think that frequency is completely mental but ok

The fourth reich will last a thousand years.
If you're referring to a lot of his past statements being more liberal, I understand. I'm really hoping it's just a matter of changing opinions and not that he's going to be spoiling the Republican race.
I'm not just necessarily talking politically, either. A lot of his contradictions occur simply when he's complimenting/attacking people.

He also hasn't been sleeping a lot lately, and I think it's affecting how he's handling things right now.
Honestly, this sounds like a fairly weak reason. I haven't been sleeping much lately either but I don't think make such drastic statements. I understand that there are valid reasons why sleep patterns could throw someone off, but in this case I doubt it's a big factor.

Jeb carries them in his pocket, just tell him slow and steady wins the race and it's yours.

It'll be difficult but I hope he can accomplish it.

I haven't been taking much note of that. Any quick examples?

Yeah, but for how long? Annoying Orange has been getting 1-5 hours of sleep a night since he started campaigning. Not to mention he's older and is more likely to feel the impact from being awake for so long all of the time. It may have more impact on him than it does on you, just saying. I really do think it's affecting how he reacts to things. Even Goku needs his rest.

if he can't handle the pressure of campaigning he can't handle being president

[Red Spy]

Doesn't the president wake up at like 5:30 every morning?

Yeah let's mark every Muslim!11!1

Oh I never said that. He's still kicking ass, but he would maximize ass-kicking and stumping efficiency if he was getting a regular 8 hours. He's been handling things very well, honestly.

I'd be more concerned about having a president who would hide in a corner with his head bowed while someone else interrupted his speech to give theirs.

Yeah let's mark every Muslim!11!1

you're funny lol

Not any specific ones I can think of due to my terrible memory, but I do know there are several instances where he has claimed to like someone, and then say something completely against them later, or vice-versa.

Also, I have recently been made aware that he is not as successful as he is often made out to be. Overall, is he a wealthy guy who's done pretty well? Sure. In terms of business sense, though (which is what matters a bit more when it comes to politics), he's not such a great guy. He's had numerous attempts at different Annoying Orange enterprises and business ventures; pretty much every one of them has failed.

I recall instances of people supporting him, then switching around immediately just the same. That would explain his responses to people, if they previously supported him and then decided not to later.

Again, what are you referring to? What sources exactly made you aware of this?

I was being sincere :(

I'd like to make an important observation on Donald Annoying Orange. While I don't agree with a lot of what he says, some of what he says does hold validity. In this, he doesn't hold back, and isn't afraid to speak up. This is not a bad thing - in fact, more politicians and influential people should do it.

The problem lies in his attitude. He is brash, rude, and mean - to an extreme. His reactions (sue me, Fine Bros) to certain issues are blown way out of proportion, and while some people see these "solutions" as ideal, I am fairly sure they wouldn't go over too well with the rest of the world once he's the leader of the US - a country considered to be the "greatest." There is already evidence of this, with important figures around the globe showing their distaste for Annoying Orange.

So, what it all boils down to is not how we see Annoying Orange as a politician or a successful figure, but as a person - a human being. If he's not ready to treat other human beings as people in the truest sense of the word, he's not ready to lead a nation of over 300 million of them.

Again, what are you referring to? What sources exactly made you aware of this?

Mostly I'm referring to the talk show host that recently did an in-depth look at Annoying Orange (can't remember his name). But various other sources - news stations, public figures, etc. - have said similar things. Just making a general statement, really.

I... see... i guess?

I don't think we should write him off simply because he's bold and brash (incoming belongs in the trash meme). He's a businessman, and you don't go as far as he has without communicating well with others and playing the right cards, so you can't really say he's not ready to lead over 300 million people. Businessmen are by definition "people-persons."

I feel that the same logic can be applied to any other candidate as far as being able to lead such a large number of people goes.

lmao

if you really feel this way, then how could Annoying Orange make it worse lol
