Is Donald Trump a serious presidential contender?

“No. He’s the very embodiment of all that’s bad in this country: racism, xenophobia, transphobia, homophobia, you name it. But too many people do take Trump seriously. It’s possible he’ll be elected president. If that happens, I’d happily be deported.”

"Yes. There’s a mass hysteria catching onto the public. It’s akin to 1930s Germany. If Trump wins, we’ll need a revolution! People, wake up. The fate of not just this country — but our entire planet — rests on this election. He must be stopped."

"Yes. If people keep laughing at him, they’ll be sorry. He’ll definitely be the Republican nominee. So we must all rally ’round the Democratic nominee, whoever that is. We have to take Trump seriously, because he’s a real threat."

"No. He’s a big joke. There’s no way to possibly take him seriously. He’s only there for entertain-ment, and he’s not a very good entertainer. He’s very offensive, and not someone I want representing me to the rest of the world. So I don’t give him a chance in hell to win."
