-- Probably not as tough a climb as one would think. American voters are sick of supporting people for both sides of the equation who later on let them down after numerous promises to the contrary. Trump offers a fresh view os things. Many are ready for just such a change. --

Depends on the person. Some have a deep-rooted distrust based on hearing and seeing quite a bit of information (and we all know that the information we use to process reality is half-true at best); others don't have any prejudice (not saying prejudice is a bad thing) and will naturally be easier to bring on board.

I agree with you, his appeal is unlike that of a politician. Even some Bernie supporters have Trump (not Hillary) as their second choice.

There is a gamble of sorts with Trump. But after gambling with people of our own party over and over and over,McConnel, Boehner many others and watching them do the wrong thing as recently as Paul Ryan giving in to both Boehner and ozero. Some don’t see it as much of a gamble.
Let’s face it, Ryan screwed us on the budget and the debt ceiling all in one fail swoop. And for what reason—none given.

[Cboldt]

Heh. You don’t have to sell me. To say I have a low respect for politicians would be true, but understates my contempt and loathing.

[rodguy911]

Yeah its sad. We are all forced to adopt that attitude. You can’t pay any attention to what any of them say only what they do.

Yep, he is an insider pretending to be an outsider. Trump raises a good question: Why hasn’t a single sitting US Senator endorsed Cruz? Is Cruz the only one in the Senate who is not a RINO or a Dem?
