Trump's support, expanding every day, is not from irrational hatred, but from the very rational view that GOP left them a long time ago, represents crony-capitalism, incompetence and sell-outs and does nothing for the interests of we the people. So far, Trump is the only one to whom that charge does not apply at all.

Really? Your solution to your perceived problem of "crony capitalism" is to elect a crony capitalist? You thing the solution to insufficiently conservative Republicans is a guy who's not a conservative at all, and who espouses views on issues like government control of health care that virtually everyone on this forum opposed just a few short years ago? Who's the sell out? Rationalization is the second strongest human motivation, but if you examine the issue critically, you will realize that this is an election, not a temper tantrum. Choose wisely.

You are the problem, but you cannot understand this, nor will you acknowledge it.

Specifically you? No. You, and those like you, have attitude and presentation issues.

You cannot simply present your argument and be done with it. You, and many like you, must include derogatory and condescending commentary that you seem to believe will help browbeat those who do not agree with you into eventually succumbing to your viewpoint.

And if someone disagrees with your argument, you continue in on them with the same, or other, ad hominem attacks along with the pointless condescension.

Once that thread has finally run its course, off you go to another thread to repeat yourself. Over and over, day after day. This is the heart of the problem, IMO. Occasionally posting in the aforementioned fashion as you do isn't necessarily a "fatal offense". It's the nonstop harping that has become intolerable, IMO.

Perhaps you see your effort as valiant, purposeful, and necessary. While it may, in the final analysis, be true (or it may not), it's not the effort that is distasteful, it's the methodology and presentation, and you cannot seem to stop it, acknowledge it, or even care.

No, instead, you are the one who has been wronged. You are the victim. Nothing you have done warrants what has come to pass.
