Aside from being a loud egomaniacal celebrity showman, there are a number of reasons why Donald Trump is leading his GOP rivals with the support of a far-right segment of the Republican Party aka the Trumpsters.
Let's begin with the fact that most Trumpsters are birthers and STILL believe that President Obama is a Muslim born in Kenya. I kid you not. Public Policy Polling ("PPP") just released the results of their new poll showing that 61 percent of Trump's supporters still don’t believe President Obama was born in America and 62 percent think he is a secret Muslim who has lied about his true religious affiliation, and 63 percent want the U.S. Constitution amended to end birthright citizenship.
However, while these percentages are higher than those of the overall GOP electorate polled by PPP, a majority of Republicans still agreed on two out of the three: 54 percent thought Obama was a Muslim, and 51 percent supported ending birthright citizenship, while only 44 percent still believe Obama wasn’t born in the U.S.
This ignorance despite the FACT that the President’s campaign in 2008 posted his legal birth certificate showing a live birth in Honolulu, Hawaii on August 4th, 1961; despite the fact that President Obama has for over 20 years professed to be a devout Christian and spoken publicly of his "personal relationship with Jesus Christ"; despite no sightings of the President attending a mosque, no pictures of him reading the Koran, or praying to Mecca, or observing Islamic holidays with his family. Most Americans know this nonsense was largely driven by Trump and the racist ignorant birther myth feeds right into the right-wing’s hate for this President.

Please. Not at lunchtime.
Truly.
Trump is also winning the approval of angry high information voters.
Who is low-information? I submit Jeb Bush supporters are “low-information”
That BC was such an obvious fake.
There is a huge amount of evidence that was and is Kryptonite to the Lame stream.
No one can be certain where or when Obama was born. We have only seen an internet image.
I would not consider anyone from Wright’s church to be Christian.
Jesus said "all things will be revealed"......I firmly believe that Obama will be revealed as the ANTI-AMERICAN, Muslim Kenyan Born MARXIST that he is!
So Trump’s supporters are ‘far right’. I guess he’s siphoning off too many ‘far right’ LIVs from the Democrat Party.
Meanwhile the ‘not moderate RINO’ wing of the Republican Party (those who agree with the TEA Party) look to candidates like Ted Cruz.
The Democrat slate is Far Left this round (Biden is the most moderate of those discussed so far) yet the presstitutes avoid that branding.
Yeah, cuz there are no “angry low-information” voters lining up to vote for Hillary or [shudder] Bernie. Everyone knows that Kaneesha and Tariq and Moonbeam are a brain trust.
DT was just on the phone with Jake Tapper on CNN. His knack for free PR is amazing. He continues to knock it out of the park.
Where’s Obama’s baptism certificate?
Their definition of low information voters must be people who don’t buy their propaganda, not those with reasoning ability who see events and draw their own conclusions.
Christians don’t sit in a church for 20 years hearing a raving lunatic who claims to be a pastor blast America for being a racist country, using some of the most vile profanity that could come out his mouth. Obama was raised muslim. He freely admits it in a couple of books he has “written”. Now I think he’s nothing but a narcissist who hates Christians because he was taught to hate them, and promotes Islam because that was the faith of his youth.
Well look at the lapdog propaganda media, trying to shame Americans out of voting for Donald Trump. Now why would they want to do that? Why bother, after all, he “has no chance of winning”, anyway.
Oh no....not the 47% crowd
It’s better that Trump gets their low information voters than Clinton getting them.
