Every day the media is filled with talking heads perplexed by the phenomenal success of The Donald.
They’ve no idea what is fueling his popularity, which in itself is indicative of their disconnect from the reality of our day-to-day existence. With a new poll showing The Donald in the lead among Republican candidates with a 40% share, heads are beginning to explode and shaky legs are beginning to crumble under the pollsters.
“This is real. I’m having trouble processing it. Like, my legs are shaking.” - Time
The only people more surprised about the appeal of The Donald than the media are members of the GOP elite (GOPe), the so called “establishment” and their consultants. The Ace of Spades addressed this the other day:
The vaunted consultant class does not know the most elemental things about the "constituency" they're paid to advise clients about. I put "constituency" in quotes because it's quite plain they do not consider the actual grassroots voter as their constituency. In fact, they do not consider them at all.
So I thought I’d take a minute today to explain why “a billionaire real estate mogul, TV celebrity and oft-accused demagogue who has never held office (is) leading the Republican field with some 22% [40% now] support in the polls?” It’s really quite simple: in the words of one of Frank Luntz’ focus group participants:
"We've got to show the Republicans that we've had it with them, that we will not be there every single time. They treat us like crap and they lie to us and promise us things and then they expect us to vote again,"
And with every indication that the GOPe powers-that-be intend to cram another moderate member of the Washington party down our throats, the natives are prepared to go Roman. They want change and they want it NOW. That’s where The Donald comes in.
In the field of R-word candidates, Trump stands alone. Not just because of his bombastic speech that expresses the sentiments of many other Americans. No, it’s because we sense that he - and he alone - has the hutzpah to grab the reins of what has been transformed into an imperial presidency under Obama and use them to reign - for the good of the American people this time.
To be a benign dictator if you will. Just for awhile, just until the Democrats realize what they’ve created with their Won and hustle around to take steps to dismantle it before the R-words can do any more damage. Which they will do, of course.
He may be a dictator, butt he’s OUR dictator.
The Donald’s supporters expect him to use his powers to undo much of the damage that the Won has inflicted on our once great Republic. And ask yourself, would anyone else – Cruz, Rubio, Walker…Bush – be willing to violate the Constitution in order to save the Constitution? I think not. And we sense that America needs someone who will. In order to “level the playing field” again and give our kids and grandkids a shot at enjoying an American life. And currently that someone exists only in the persona of The Donald: no matter how much you may like some of the others, he’s currently the only guy on the podium who actually knows how to seize the power at his disposal and use it to do what he thinks needs to be done to make America great again: deport illegal aliens? Boom. End anchor babies? Boom. Get rid of Obamacare and start over? Boom. Nullify the agreement with Iran? Boom, and I do mean Boom!
Yeah, it’s that simple. Americans are mad as hell, and they aren’t going to take it anymore. We want our country back. And we don’t really care how goofy your hair is as long as you’ll do that for us. Transform us back.
So I say yes to The Donald: the only one willing to kill the Constitution in order to save the Constitution. And I mean that in a good way.

Well, maybe you ought to start looking for a life-jacket. This is far from the first time I've seen Trump supporters propose ditching the Constitution.
I've seen posts that advocate installing him as a dictator to "get things done", and I've seen it stated that he should just govern by illegal executive orders, like Obama.
Me.
I support Ted Cruz, and I want a round-up and extermination in gas chambers and concentration camps of anyone who disagrees with me politically. There is the WRONG way to think, then there is the LAZ way.
VOTE FOR ME AND I PROMISE TO UNITE THE COUNTRY... using torture, genocide, rape and death!
I tend to agree with you. Once politicians became receptive to giving sovereignty away, I suspected the Constitution was no longer in effect. When I saw the Republican Congress give Obama everything he wanted, I was certain of it. This country is being dismantled from the inside out, Congress selling themselves to the highest bidder. Obama, like no other president in history, has shown that he can ignore the Constitution and nothing happens, just business as usual. Some genies are impossible to get back into the bottle. And history has shown that when Republics fall, they have a lot in common with Humpty Dumpty.
I could make an exception in your case. But only if you wear a tough uniform with tall boots.
Do you REALLY want to see me in a bikini?
Please link to your online store si I can get the stickers and t-shirts!
I don't share the emotional satisfaction you seem to enjoy in defeat while the other side ignores any rule it can.
Whatever political tactic that can be used to reverse some of Obama's abuses and some abuses by federal courts should be used. The constitution has always been abused by those on the left, the 'living constitution' people who have zero respect for the constitution and will make up any rationale to reach the conclusion they want.
Beat them over their heads with their own tactics until they decide to end their abuses and abide by the constitution.
Otherwise learn to love being beaten and abused on and on.
Trump never said he would violate the Constitution. In fact, the article never spelled out just how Trump would violate it. It just claims he would.
Don't go confusing the truth with facts :)
It's hilarious watching the Troll Trumps trying to run with this false pretense. More fun than watching blood seep out of MeGYN's eyes, every time she says "Donald Trump" :)
In heels, playing the violin.
There weren’t any fats presented in this article.
Your post reiterates the liberal disinformation, read:propaganda, being spewed against Trump.
Nice try, but the rest of us aren’t so stupid as to fall for it.
NO! Nor a Caitlyn costume.
I hate fat free articles.
VOTE LAZ....OR ELSE!!!
?
My post was supporting YOUR post. Did you read my post?
Sorry, first read seemed otherwise.
“Trump Trolls” tend to be us not them.
Not kill..
