GOP working class base is starting to realize what they've inflicted on themselves over the last 35 years.
Denial is over, now it's the anger stage. Bargaining, depression, and acceptance are ahead.

This sentiment right here is a big part of the reason why I don't think he is as necessarily "unelectable" as traditionally more reasonable people seem to think he is.

I'm still convinced that his primary support is coming from hipsters who are voting for him ironically.

And from a previous poster, only 135 latinos showed up.

Actually that was out of Just over 1500 surveyed at the polls 135 were latino. Number I saw was around 5000 latino voters showd up for the GOP caucus where 15-16K showed up for the dems. So his 46% of the approx 25% of latinos that came out for the GOP translates to about 12% total latino support. Give or take.

Trump.. Wow. I just saw Ivanca Trump do an interview. I don't think Republicans/COnservatives understand what they got themselves into.

Neither California nor Minnesota were destroyed when they elected "celebrity" governors Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura with as much political experience and acumen as Trump. Likewise I think the USA would survive a Trump presidency. Checks and balances and bureaucratic inertia and change resistance will ensure nothing will go too seriously pear shaped for his 4 or 8 years.

I'm laughing at Obama supporters all anxiety ridden over Trump.

1. Obama isn't running.

2. I guess you didn't get the memo: it's the Republican Party that is anxious about Trump winning the nomination.

Well at least the DNC have Awesome Hillary to run against Trump. She excites the base so much that just the sheer amount of voters who will cross hell and back to vote for her this will insure no Trump president.

America will be saved, the Status Quo will stay all will be good.

However, suppose "Jose" works damn good and wants to become a legal citizen and pay his taxes. Should you deport him or make him stay while giving him a path to citizenship?

Personally, I know a family who came to USA legally from an airline flight but overstayed their US tourist visa.

The guy literally worked his ass off

"Literally" not found.

Unless the man's posterior actually separated from the rest of his body, he only figuratively worked his ass off.

His (Trump) biggest advantage is his fame, take away his name recognition and he would be out of the race already.

It takes more than name recognition to last so long. Look at Jeb Bush. He had the second highest name recognition coming into the race and nobody supported him in the end.

Latinos are not one and the same across the board and should not be painted with a wide brush.

Go pick a random, *ANY* redneck semi- or full-blown racist Trump supporter, one of those folks who talks about concentration camps or hanging Blacks on Trump's fb page or various forums. And YES, those folks *do* exist.

And YES, those folks and their racist sentiments will be strengthened with any Trump win.

So, talk to them..and then you see that those "super-smart and well educated redneck racists" /SARCASM are in-fact those who paint with a wide brush.

When was the last time racists did NOT use a wide brush?

As I said earlier, do you think the typical semi-racist/fascist Trump supporter, white hicks who seriously think that white "patriots" are the "only true Americans", do you think those people hand out questionnaires to determine whether their hate (and/or actions) are justified?

Do you seriously think those people have different compartments where they categorize "good" Latinos and "bad" ones?

SERIOUSLY?

Do you think that in case some insane laws would be made, such as Anchor Baby laws, mass-deportations etc. that those actions will then only affect those illegals where it's truly justified and everyone else doesn't need to worry?

Do you know how racism "works", do you know how the brain of racists/hick rednecks etc. white "patriots" functions?

There is so much naivety here that it blows my mind.

If anything, I hope Trump's run wakes up the electorate to the idea that, given a charismatic candidate that was not already chosen for us by the crooked, corrupt system that reaches all the way down into the pool of nascent wanna-be big-time politicians, the rigged system built and operated by the .01% can be brought to its knees.

It is satisfying to see democracy actually working...even if it's in Trumps favor.

Honestly though, he frightens me much less then Clinton and Cruz. There is some sort of uncanny valley thing I get with those two.


I really hope its Sanders vs. Trump

You know it is a figure of speech although not a grammatically correct one. People say it all the time.

FAIL!

Wrong.

Using the word "literally" when you mean to use the word "figuratively", literally makes the word "literally" useless.

You think that's bad, wait until working class Democrats realize they've been sold down the river by their champions.

NAFTA? TPP? LOL, suckers!

Not in any significant numbers, despite your paranoid fantasies. But keep calling Trump supporters "racist," that's sure worked out great for you imbeciles so far. Better luck lying next time 😎

As one P&N (can't remember who it was) said years ago, I dislike a lot of GOP supporters, but I loathe the Democrats, and this is a prime example why.
Click to expand...

What is? That I pointed out the GOP's election strategy backfiring? 😕

Because it's not like the Dems don't absolutely love low-information voters as well. If you're just looking for a gravy train, you're probably not voting GOP.

If you broaden your scope just a little bit you will see the strongest criticism of Trump and his supporters in the GOP inner circles. Anxiety is there as well. As a matter of fact many liberals appear to greet the GOP's calamity with glee. (at least for now)

Donald Trump and Politics of the Middle Finger

Donald Trump relishes wrecking the GOP

Or you can visit sites like Redstate.com and HotAir.com to read the most vicious attacks on Trump. (the comment sections are quite illuminating) Is your scorn directed at them as well or is it limited at me?

When McCain selected Palin as his running mate, do you think it was because McCain valued her character and qualification, enough to act as a substitute of himself if the need arose? What would you say if Obama selects Palin as his SCOTUS nominee?
 
Trump says he loves the poorly educated.

He probably means that he respects them.

Or maybe he is talking about the gullibility. Who knows. People can judge it for themselves.

So what is you're suggestion, Mr I'm a liberterian ?

I doubt you have a solution, elect more GOP guys so the wealth distribution can just continue to grow unabated ?

You just like to say your a Libertarian and post BS most the time is what I get from your posts.

I doubt you even are one in reality.
