Donald Trump won New Hampshire, a moderate Northeastern state that prides itself on its sober analysis of the candidates at hand. Donald Trump won South Carolina, a conservative Southern state with a number of religious voters. Donald Trump has now won Nevada, a Western state with its own eclectic mix of Republican voting groups.
Trump won them all. According to preliminary entrance poll data reported by CNN, he won every age group and every education group and both genders -- and even every racial and ethnic group. About 1 in 10 Nevada Republicans were Hispanic. More than 4 in 10 of them backed Donald Trump (according to entrance polls with a notably large margin of error).
What's the theme here? What's the thing that's turned Donald Trump from the never-gonna-happen outsider of last June into the how-can-he-be-stopped candidate of February?
Nevada offers one hint: Anger.

Damned right we’re pissed!
So now all you are left with is that same tripe with the dinner party picture? That makes now five times this morning it is your same opening statement, and even twice in one thread. Most, if not all, are now desensitized to it as the results show from last night. Maybe you should get your tag-team boiler room mates on the same page. But then again, all y’all are left with is the same page.
Making the same argument over and over again moves nothing forward, in fact, it degrades whatever point you are helpless in making.
He dominated like a BOSS!
The cries of the Cruz and Rubio supporters are the wind beneath my wings!!

And as the saying goes,"Its better to be pissed off than pissed on", as we have been by the Pols for the last couple of dozen years.
Americans had to get “angry” sooner or later. It was bound to happen once they woke up and realized what was going on in their country. Sixty percent of DemocRATS want socialism so American can get started down the “pathway” to communism.
Yep. Donald Trump is a major roll of the dice. And he may disappoint given his past positions. He still isn’t my cup of tea, but given the disappointment in those who have claimed to be our allies (Bush, Rubio, Ryan, Romney, etc.), it is perfectly understandable why people are more than willing to look elsewhere at this point.
We are sick and tired of the Republican establishment lying to us.
We are fed up with the GOP congress doing nothing whatsoever to stop Obama.
And we are repulsed by an out of control government that has been enabled by the Grand Old Party.
The GOPe failed us and we are firing them.
“The cries of the Cruz and Rubio supporters are the wind beneath my wings!!”
No tears here. Just pure embarrassment for the mental state of the country.
The powers-that-be have hoodwinked, lied to, double-crossed, and ignored the voters. As normal people would be to anybody else who did that, we’re pissed.
That’s the way the election works. We vote out the ones who don’t do the work of the people, and vote into office those we think will do a better job.
The media acts outwardly angry at the voters for “defying” them and not going gah-gah over their chosen GOPe candidates. They don’t want anyone in office who stands up to them. They want a “yes man”.
“Angry voters”? Damn right we are, with every right to be! We’re sick of the lying, the dynasties, the theft and the corruption. The American Revolution happened because the “voters were angry”.
There is nothing wrong with angry voters, at least we’re not rioting and looting stores......yet.
The system we have allows us to get rid of despots without a constant civil war, like the Middle East.
Donald Trump is a major roll of the dice. And he may disappoint given his past positions.

Understand your concerns, but in supporting Trump at least we are standing up to the corrupt liars in the GOP. We’re not taking their crap anymore. That alone is a big step forward. Passivity has turned into activism.
Trump remains my #2 choice and Cruz my first. I am VERY happy to have both of them as potential candidates in the general (for different reasons). I’ll be even happier when Trump supporters stop sounding like Democrats as they did during the SC primary.
Amen to that. Good comments.
Why is it in NH, SC or now Nevada Primary wins by Trump, trumpbots sure don’t sound much like winners?
Bullying just don’t know when to stop?
“Understand your concerns, but in supporting Trump at least we are standing up to the corrupt liars in the GOP.”
So...If supporting Trump to stand up to the GOP is the standard, isn’t Hillary playing for that same team?
Interesting that CW got her first comment deleted. I wonder if her TDS is about to get her zotted.
“What’s the thing that’s turned Donald Trump from the never-gonna-happen outsider of last June into the how-can-he-be-stopped candidate of February?”
Anger and of course, Trump’s tremendous grasp on the issues and his poignant detailed answers to questions are also a factor:
“We are certainly going to do SOMETHING about that”
“I will certainly take a look at that”
He got your attention with the big beautiful wall and he rounded you up with “they are going back”.
Anger at the Establishment is certainly justified.
Anger is also an irrational emotional reasoning and often leads to less than the best decisions.
Rush has astutely pointed out that the Trump attachment is strong because it is emotional. Seems a significant portion of America has decided to go along with the “feelings” rationale heretofore a trademark of liberals.
Let’s hope the “obvious” we saw in nobama is wrong this time with Trump. Then again, I remember the sage adage “wish (hope) in one hand and poop in the other, then see which filled the fastest.
