.... OK. I admit to be morbidly fascinated with understanding the mind of sanctimonious leftists who are so convinced that they’re the Good Guys. So I’m posting this article, sort of for the same reason that I’m addicted to reality TV shows about psychopaths.

So much passion. So much blindness.
He is absolutely right. That is what blows my mind about hardcore trumpees. It isn’t a pretty picture. Trumpees seem to have a huge blind spot. There have been articles posted today alone for the average voter to discard him. Just the fact that he trashed Scalia last month would turn a conservative’s head. I helped a friend discard him in about 5 minutes this week.
He has the worst written record easy to look up of probably anyone who has ever run for president. He changes opinions about everything all the time. He pulls Alinsky faster than Alinsky ever did on all who don’t bow down to him. He spends half his time talking about how great he is, then throw out some kind of bomb to get media attention, then plays Alinsky on his flavor of the day. Out of the original 17 candidates he would be last to get my vote simply because he is a bully and braggart.
Can you give me an actual reason why you think he is so great? Besides he said so?

I'm not a Trump supporter, although I will vote for him if he wins the nomination. It's not that I think Trump is great, it's that I think the leftist who wrote this screed is nuts.

So, you’re voting for another politician in a primary then?

Good luck.

Your presumption might be entirely wrong and you might be looking in the wrong direction.

Perhaps it isn't that Trump is so great.

It might be that what we now have is so bad.

And most of the alternatives are. or seem to be, part of the problem.

Don't forget - Obama didn't do all of this damage by himself.
Neither did the democrats. Over the last 50 years they had a lot of help from the republicans.
It took a lot of bad governing and criminality to bring us to the point that a person like Obama could even be elected.

Only Trump and Cruz seem to notice how bad things really are.
Or is it that only they are concerned enough to speak of it.

Or perhaps only they have the guts to call a spade a spade and a criminal a criminal.

1. He’s FINALLY mocked Political Correctness - to the equal and opposite strength that someone has needed to do it for 20+ years - Now average people are getting their mojo back to do the same in the public arena.
2. With that said - he is the opposite of Europe’s and Liberals’ cowardice to calling the Muslim problem what it is.
3. Same with illegals - not skirting around the issue but forcefully saying what we’ve all (’normal’ Americans) have been feeling for the past 20 years.
4. He, by his upbringing and lifetime of experience, has been successful at what he puts his hand to do - with extreme competence and hate for wasteful spending - and wants to apply the same principles to shredding the government bloat.
5. He fights to win. His shots at fellow Republicans are mild to what is needed to win against Hitlary, Dems, The Media - which he has shown as MORE than capable to fight the latter and win at their own game.
6. He’s tired of America of being Uncle Sucker to the rest of the world. He’s been extremely consistent about that for 25+ years (watch 25 year ago video).
7. He loves the Vets and puts his money where his mouth is.
8. He can’t be bought like most of the others. The trappings of Washington don’t impress him - unlike we’ve seen from 99% of the politicians that go to Washington.

You call him a bully and a braggart. Like Rush says - it ain’t braggin’ if you can do it. Seriously though - numerous people have stated that Trump is a tough negotiator, but his actual persona in person one-to-one is self-deprecating and down to earth. Unlike Obama and Clinton who are psychopathic narcissists.

Can you please take a moment and stop your hating and honestly look at these points. Be honest and give credit where due. Yes, we love Ted Cruz and would ideally love him to be President - at the right time. But the Left’s and Obama’s lawlessness and distortions of truth have taken such a strong hold of this country that we need someone like Trump to do the level of bulldozing necessary. Ted is great at welding a knife of a tongue. But first there comes a time in surgery or construction that you must do the massive reconstruction before getting to the finer points.

So, you would prefer a feminized, sensitive cross dressing pseudo-male who has FEELINGS to be your president?

It’s people like you who have destroyed the morals and ethics of our older culture and have a basic hate of anything manley or of strong character...simply because they have not been domesticated and physiologically castrated.

Get over it...put some ice on it and I hope you stay up to see the election results next fall.
