I never thought Donald Trump would run for president. If he did run, I didnt think he would gain any support, and if he did gain any support, I didnt think it would last. I thought all polls would show him being crushed by Hillary Clinton.
Fall is upon us, and Trump is leading in Iowa, leading in New Hampshire, leading all Republicans nationally. He has roughly double the combined support of Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio.
In a general election match up against Hillary Clinton, hes only 2.8 points behind, according to a RealClearPolitics polling average late last week, and doing about the same as Bush and Rubio.
I dont have much skull left in the spot where Ive been scratching my head because, as a conservative, I fail to see how Trump is anything but a flaming liberal compared to Bush, Rubio and every other Republican candidate
As a patriot, Im shocked that Trump got away with slandering John McCain for his Vietnam ordeal. As a person who has a face, I cant believe he stooped to attacking Carly Fiorinas.
So this time Ill try something different: imagining what its like to be a Trump supporter. Whats the appeal?
I think I can answer in one word: Stones. Cojones. His buildings arent the only things he owns that are thickly layered in brass (and, probably, emblazoned with the Trump logo.)
