Is there a house that represents stupidity?

I went Gryffindor cause he's brave, though he doesn't think as he rush's fearlessly into situations

He's a smart fella for the uneducated-and ignorant. Manipulative bastard indeed, I would do his wife tho.

I really wished that people listened more to Sanders and cared less about Entertainment Politics, really shows how stupid the people are these days. 

To add: US Citizens should know for now or the future, to who ever they might vote on, presidents and congress (corp-funded) have a huge effect on the world.

Well he is a preaty bad liar then , if I was him and wanted to get elected I would lie about Mexican Immigrants and other related questions.All this Scandals are not good for polls

So that's why I don't consider him a politician because he is too blunt.

Hillary is clearly a Phony.

Let's judge Mr. Trump shall we? All categories are 1-5, 1 being not present and 5 being very apparent. Everyone, please feel free to critique. I am trying to be as objective as possible and I think I'm in a good position to do so as I do not support democrats or republicans.

Gryffindor

  • Brave: 4 

    He's running for president, that takes balls, guys

[*]Sometimes Impulsive: 5

  • need I justify this?

[*]Adventurous: 3

  • billionaire mogul to politician... ehhh

[*]Honourable/Loyal to all: 1

  • I haven't seen much of this

Hufflepuff

  • Hard-Work: 3 

    I hope no one thinks real estate and politics are easy

[*]Dedication: 2

  • I don't know how to justify this one but I feel like it's there in some small capacity 

[*]Fair-Player:1

  • Ruthless businessman and politician. Plenty hits below-the-belt from his corner

[*]Value others' feelings: 1

  • Refer to Fair-play. He is a ruthless, goal-oriented steamroller

Ravenclaw

  • Cunning: 5

    defined as "having or showing skill in achieving one's ends by deceit or evasion." Need I say more?

[*]Wise:1

  • I haven't seen much "wisdom" from Mr Trump that was not cunning in disguise 

[*]Creative: 2

  • May seem creative for a politician but he is really just applying his businessman strategy to politics like has never been seen before. His book Art of the Deal is literally a road map for every single move he has made thus far

[*]Know-it-all: 5

  • To be expected of all politicians. He isn't anything special here, really. Just average (Don't tell him I said that!)

Slytherin

  •  Prideful: 5

    Yes. Just, yes. 

[*]Ambitious: 5

  • Oval office is a big goal to strive for and before that, he had business goals plenty high for himself.

[*]Loyal to their own: 2

  • Tight with his family it seems but other politicians and competitors, not so much

[*]Arrogant:5

  • "I alone" can save America. Anyone who says that pretty much embodies arrogance. 

Final Score: 

Gryffindor:   13/20

Hufflepuff:     7/20

Ravenclaw: 13/20

Slytherin:     17/20

Interesting. I would have pegged him as a Gryffindor on face value but I think that was just because of the stigma that all Slytherin house members are greasy-haired rich monsters.

I know there are bound to be comments on this. Light up my inbox everyone. Have at it.

There's a difference being brash and being honest.

He's flip flopped quite a bit on immigration, he's just sticking with the current anti-immigrant shtick because it plays well with a lot of racist/xenophobic white people.

His scandals aren't generally about his "honesty" unless you mean honest in the sense that he doesn't have a politeness / decency filter to contain his ego and pathological need to strike back at anyone that criticizes him.  He's proven time and time again that he's not above flip flopping (he's significantly worse than even Clinton) or spouting complete bullshit.

Fair enough ,I didn't follow his speeches thoroughly so I didn't knew that he was a flip floper.

I withdraw my honesty claim.

 
I feel like Trump is at least more transparent than Clinton. We know he is a flip-flopper, that he is flexible on everything except his ridiculous wall, and that he is a loud-mouthed businessman that lashes out with shots below the belt just as if he were in a cut-throat negotiation for his business. Clinton is just too engrained in the system for my tastes. Sanders knew it, voters know it, and I know it: she doesn't mean a lot of what she says. She is just playing the game like good ol' politicians and establishment people do. And that is where I find respect for Trump, he isn't rooted in the oligarchy of the party politics going back more than two decades. I just could never trust Clinton because I know she has been planning for this chance for 12 years and it scares the Hell out of me to wonder what plans and papers she will whip out of her desk during her first 100 days. 

If I had to pick one of the two, I would vote Trump because at least he is malleable. He could potentially be able to work with both major parties in Congress, something that will never happen if Clinton is elected. 

But I don't have to pick one of the two, I am voting for the Libertarian party which could make a big difference this year.

Gary Johnson and Bill Weld for the White House in 2016!
