The rational choice theory is a contrarian argument presented by Samuel L. Popkin, a political scientist at of the UCSD who has studied public opinion and elections for fifty years. He served as a consultant for the democrat presidential campaigns of McGovern, Carter, Clinton and Gore.

Mr. Popkin cites Steve Deace (MW talk-radio host)- “Is Jeb Bush running for president or America’s Hispanic Fertility Czar?” as an explanation of why Trump’s invective never seems to damage him with his supporters.

Vote Jeb! for Czar of Hispanic Fertility.

Oh a rational choice theory? Is that it now? Who gets to decide?

What’s with all the detailed analysis? How hard is it to figure out. The Republicans have lied about what they believed and what they would do since 1989. Voters won’t fall for it anymore. Someone who is not one of them is the best way to end that phony kabuki theater game they play.

Popkin sounds like a concern troll.

Ultra analysis is just a ploy to suggest compliance to the "reasonable" RINOs, "centrist" Democrats and "America loving" foreigners.

Trump already has the proper method of dealing with them, ...

Scott Adams of Dilbert fame predicted Trump would be the winner late last year, shortly after Trump joined the race.

Trump voters: many of us may clean our Hamilton Beach blender drive gear, as I did the other day, and think to ourselves,
“This looks like the lugs on my AR’s barrel extension. And it’s about as hard to clean.”

Kristol, Yeb, Will, Kraut & Co. “Clean? Lugs? What ... ?”

From the tome:

But what if Trump voters, however uninformed, are still making a rational decision by backing him?

F U WSJ. I am very informed, I'd say hyper informed. I am also pissed off.

The supposed difficulty in explaining Trump’s win is just another symptom of the same diseases that led to it. It’s not complicated, Trump’s platform represents what most people believe in, and he’s demonstrated repeatedly that he’s ready to fight for it.

A progressive con man who is openly lying to Republicans and who forgets his lines/lies has been foisted upon the GOP by his collusion with the media and by cross-over voting. We have every right to question irrational Trump supporters who ignore the facts and wanted to rebel against he establshment, but voting for a member of the establishment.
