Well, his radical self-aggrandizing beliefs do validate the feelings of many who have sequestered their own versions of these for fear that they would be rejected by society... Though I don't imagine that Trump cares about this validation to any extent other than providing evidence for his belief that he is better.

You might want to read my post again...it appears that you completely missed my point.

Nope, you have a fairly valid point. If someone from NZ were to deride Sanders or Clinton or whomever on the D side, if it had some legitimacy I'd have to either agree with it or cite my reasons why that claim was false.
Others may not and just say "who cares what they think, they're from NZ and have no bearing on this"

Tell me then...what legitimacy does his particular opinion have other than you happen to agree with him?

I pretty much agree with all of his claims, and please, at any time, refute them or

do you not think that trumplestiltskin is:
racist
extremely materialistic
vulgar
pompous
and that a sizable portion of the gop is ok with this man being their choice for leader of the free world.

"And you can tell them to go f**k themselves," Donald Trump told a crowd at a Portsmouth Rally on Thursday night, uttering the expletive at the climax of the riff on his tax proposal. He was referring to companies that have relocated overseas for more favorable tax rates.
And here you would think from the outrage on this forum he was cursing out illegals, muslims, women, etc.

Never knew there were so many closet corporists here.:D

LMAO!!!!! Left/Democratic leaning forum members that use expletives on a regular basis in their posts have much in common with The Donald.

Many Democrats are probably more along the lines of original Conservatives than most of the ultra Right Wing GOP extremists these days.

Equating Left to a Democrat is still a stretch many times, and a lot of fail.

But some people think in kindergarten "you are this or you are that" terms these days.

That is a bit sad in its own right.

90% of all elected Democratic politicians in the US, if transferred to any other western, civilized country, would fit in extremely well with that country's conservative party.

HRC, Obama, and BClinton are all neo-liberals in terms of economics, and moderately socially liberal. It's what makes it so hilarious when delusional US conservatives (Reactionaries, not real conservatives) try to talk in terms of communism or socialism.

Even Sanders isn't a "Socialist" the way delusional US conservatives use the term. He's a Democratic Socialist, meaning he isn't going to decree the religion of Capitalism illegal, prohibit private property, or appropriate the means of production. He just wants to strengthen the socialist aspects of the US that should be socialist and that shouldn't be operated for profits.

US conservatives (again, reactionaries, not real conservatives) lack perspective and are unhinged from objective, observable reality. Of course, considering that they intentionally let some of the dumbest, most incompetent reactionary writers, entertainers, and con men shit directly into their skulls has a lot to do with it.

That said, personal responsibility addicts that they are, you'd figure that by now they'd figure out that their continued attempts to square the circle of delusional reality they believe would give them enough of a hint that perhaps they should step back and reevaluate the idiotic notions that have been refuted over and over and over again. But they won't. Mostly because freedom, but also, Benghazi.
