How is this guy winning the Repub nod?
Everybody I know absolutely detests this man, and it’s not just cali. I have friends in other states that are not liberal or democrat. Is everyone lying? he keeps smashing Rubio and Cruz in the caucuses. He sent Bush home crying like a little girl with a skinned knee. No Mexican is going to vote for him. He’s derogatory towards women, and the RNC doesn’t particularly like him…WTF?!
If you don’t already know about it, Google “The David Duke Effect”.

I know of david duke but he had to drop out once people found out he was in the klan in 87 or 88.
I guess I’ll google it…
aaah… so they are lying.
People vote for names they know or who are different. Hillary is a known name and definitely different which is why she has made it as far as she has. Do you think if Joe Blow democrat had a felony hanging over his head that he would still be in this thing?
I dont know, dead people win elections all the time. Unknown 18 year olds win elections all the time. Protest votes usually benefit the unknown

I’ve wracked my brain time and time again, trying to figure out how this guy can do ANYTHING and only gain supporters. He could molest a kid on-stage at the debates and his followers would come out of the shadows and confess to doing the same. Unbelievable. Sometimes I feel like I accidentally fell through a space-time wormhole, and now I’m in a poor sci-fi author’s idea of a dystopia.
It is the same phenomenon with Democrats and Republican parties. People are angry at an establishment that ignores the 80% of the people that aren’t either far left or far right. The rich middle ground has been completely ignored thus the rise of people like Sanders or Trump who wouldn’t normally be considered anything but crackpots.
The other thing to remember is that is pretty much only party zealots that go to caucuses so those with the most far out views end up with the loudest voice at least initially. Expressed views by the candidates will moderate when it comes to the general election. Clinton isn’t left of Sanders ideologically but she is trying to portray herself that way. Trump isn’t a far right fascist. He has expressed views all over the ideological map in the past. He may end up being far right or far left. I don’t think we know what we will get. He was even part of the Democratic party not all that long ago. Both are simply going to where the applause meter tells them. I wouldn’t vote for anyone who is affiliated with either major party. They have abandoned the majority of this country and are simply interested in obtaining and maintaining power. People are nothing more than a money source and a means to an end for them.
So, Are you saying they dont exist and the only trump supporters are the nut jobs going to caucuses? And so the news is covering them rather than the mainstream majority?
I’m starting to get the idea that Trump is completely trolling the RNC. Like the way Stephen Colbert used the Colbert report to troll republicans. He has embraced every horrible stereotype of right wing politics and he keeps getting followers. “Hey let me quote mussolini.” And he gets followers “Hey, let me embrace the KKK, racism and white power” and he gets followers “Hey, let me act like a bigot…” And he gets followers. He says he loves the uneducated and he gets followers. But does he really believe all that shit or does he believe it the way colbert “believed it?”
At this point he seems so ridiculously over the top that the guy is bullshitting and playing a character or he has serious mental issues.
The next time you see him in an interview giving his flippant bullshit answers or playing dumb, think of him playing a character and the interview will take on an entirely different tone.
Maybe the optimist is coming out in me but i think the RNC has been had!
No Mexican is going to vote for him.
I think he’s winning the latino vote if i heard correctly. Which is hysterical considering Cruz and Rubio are hispanic.

Maybe in small pockets here and there but nationally he is losing badly. Numbers as high as 80%
I just think he is pandering to anyone who will vote for him.
I completely understand pandering but it seems that trump goes out of his way to be an asshole, to be unlikeable (which makes him more likeable) his debates are filled with double talk. “Im shutting down planned parenthood but let me say this they save a ton of woman from issues like breast cancer cervical cancer…” You get rid of the first part of shutting it down and you have a solid commercial for it. If you look at some of his interviews from 2000 he seems completely different. His whole demeanor is different.
I think Trump wants to be president just so he can say he was president.
Haha i think thats all of them but bernie and kasich. I think bernie and kasich really have a plan to help the country (or at least think they do)
It’s O-fucking-fficial.
He is the nominee… Meanwhile some RNC delegate lost their delegate status for racist messages on facebook. How does that work, based on who the official nominee is and the racist shit that actually comes out of his mouth and not just his keyboard? Fired for not racist enough?
