The coarser and cruder Donald Trump becomes, and the more ill-informed on the issues he sounds, the more he coasts in the polls. Apparently, a few of his targets must be regarded as unsympathetically as their defamer.
Trump is rightly mocked for cynically spreading quid pro quo money around. But he quickly counters that his critics — from Hillary Clinton to his Republican rivals — have all asked him for such cash or for favors.
Trump preps little. He has no real agenda. And he makes stuff up as he goes along. For such a New York brawler, he has thin skin, smearing his critics, often in creepy fashion. How can a former Democrat, once a pro-choice, pro-amnesty liberal and a supporter of single-payer health care, remain the godhead of the conservative base for weeks on end?
The answer is that Trump is a catharsis for 15 percent to 20 percent of the Republican electorate. They apparently like the broken china shop and appreciate the raging bull who runs amok in it. Politicians and the media are seen as corrupt and hypocritical, and the nihilistic Trump is a surrogate way of letting them take some heat for a change.

ReplyDeleteThe key word in all of this is "electorate".They ain't us so we don't count.
ReplyDeleteTrump has a very good message and he has demonstrated his intelligence.
ReplyDeleteHe will be there in the end.
ReplyDeleteI like trump, sick of all the weak p.c
ReplyDeletePoliticians on both sides. Time for a man with some balls to get this country back on track.
Or a good woman with some balls.
DeleteHillary obviously doesn't qualify.
Like there is a difference 11:27
ReplyDeleteTrump speaks the truth and has shown in the past that he backs it up. All of the other Reps, except a few)have been shown to sound good for the election and then show the American public that it was all lies. Cruz is in that boat too.
ReplyDeleteThe American public want honesty. If someone screws up, and they will, just say I screwed up and then do better. Don't deny it or blame someone else ... own it!!!!. Trump is not perfect. In fact he is far from it. But it seems most Repubs think he will fix America's problems. I am not a Repub, but I see him as an answer in this period of time.

They are lunatics because they don't support phony Ted Cruz? You've got room to talk.
Trump is the only one making sincere promises that Cruz, who may side with the illegals, can't make.
All you have to do is find out which RINO played the Confederate flag bullshit game caving in to political correctness over the Charelston killings and you will know that is not your candidate. That candidate is fake and will do and say what ever they can to get elected.
