At last week's GOP presidential debate, in a line that has gotten too little attention, Donald Trump boasted: "We've opened up a very big discussion that needed to be opened up."
What Trump meant is that, by calling for things like mass deportations and Muslim registries and temporarily banning non-citizen Muslims from entering the U.S., and claiming thousands of American Muslims celebrated 9/11, Trump has forced a discussion about the true causes of American decline that had previously been precluded or suppressed by politically correct niceties.
New polling suggests that Trump may be justified in this boast: It shows that large numbers of Republican voters may be glad that Trump has forced this discussion out into the open.
A CBS/You Gov poll released over the weekend asked GOP primary voters in the early states: "Whether or not you agree, do the things Donald Trump says generally make you glad someone says them," because "they needed to be said and discussed?" Or, the poll asked, are these voters "unhappy that someone says them," because "they don't belong in a presidential campaign?"
Huge majorities of GOP voters in the two early states -- Iowa and New Hampshire -- say they are glad Trump says the things he says because they need to be said and discussed:

They just do not get it. After the last 8 years the average American Voter is fed up with the “new normal”. They know what it is like to be in a vibrant prosperous growing economy and this social malaise O and the Political machine has created is NOT IT.
So along come Trump saying “I want to make American great again. I want us to win again” and they go hmmm ME TOO.
Then they watch EVERYONE in the belt way media/political machine doing everything they can to destroy Trump and they say “AH HA, we have FOUND the problem.”
As usual WaPoo refuses to differentiate between illegal and legal immigrants.
WaPo: “ Once a year, we tell the truth”
“THE FORCE AWAKENS!”

What they’re probably hiding or not revealing is how well he’s doing with Democrats too.
Whoever wins the Democratic nomination won’t be able to come Center, Trump just set up his king of the hill castle there.
I only read the UK Telegraph and Daily Mail. Our MSM is DEAD.
It was a ban until 'we can figure what the hell is going on"... I guess Greg Sargent doesn't want to deal with the truth when a lie is so much more inflammatory. Hey Greg - this is why the Post is out of their beautiful building and into rented digs...
WE STUMP FOR TRUMP
AND CANNOT LOSE WITH CRUZ.
THE TWO ON A TICKET WILL SHOW WHERE TO STICK IT
AMERICA WANTS JUSTICE FOR HER COUNTRY AND PEOPLES.
DESTROY ALL WHO WISH HER DAMAGE...ALL OF THEM!! NO PUNISHMENT IS TOO SEVERE!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT FOR GREAT AMERICANS
WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!
Go Trump! Born in America of 2 American citizen parents. Trump is without question a finest Natural Born Citizen.
Amen!
So true! Shame on American media, the country where democracy was born.
We definitely need a pause. Maybe we are right about letting in all three the people from the Middle East. Definitely we need to see how THET adjust to OUR society. Right noe they are acting like “The Man who came to Dinner.†as play by Montie Wooley. Prayer rooms in public schools that go ape when a Christian kid wears a cross to school?
Boasting is subjective, what he he said that has not been proven to be correct, or which he has not clarified?
So Obama can lie through his teeth about vetting Muslims and no credible ISIS attacks but Trump is the demagogue.
The so called "good ones" are commanded to be non combat support personnel! They should be treated as such!
