I have *never* been or considered myself to be a one issue voter. I’m not now, but I’m getting very close.

The reason is that NO policy of any kind will matter if we don’t stop the invasion of illiterate, diseased criminals from [primarily] Mexico/Central America.

Electing a President on the basis of a single issue is a risky proposition. We could end up with anything. But outside of Cruz, no major candidate has the slightest willingness to deal with this invasion. On the contrary, most of the Republicans are openly in favor of it.

That’s why I hope Trump puts forth clear policy statements in a lot more areas.

I thought the same thing. Then I thought about Boener, McConnell, and Lindsey Graham. How can you call yourself a Republican and vote for Obama....twice.
There’s your proof.

The culture has been Kardashian-ed.

Maybe.
But i don’t know anyone who is interested in Trump who watched the kardashians. Does anyone?
Although, most of the people i know are not into reality tv.
I know of at least two people who never watched Trump’s show who says they are voting for him.
I watched a minute of Trump and Kardashian to see what people were talking about.
I do like, and watch, Duck once in awhile.

Because they are apolitical, ignorant and easily swayed.

The sad fact is that for any candidate to win these days, they have to get a significant portion of the Low-Info Voter vote.

Guys like Romney don’t get those votes.

“Then there were two voters who share a common story — they felt they had been suckered into supporting Obama and “really thought he could change things,” as one put it. She said she’s skeptical now of the message pushed by any politician — but Trump is different.”

Yeah! Hope and changey on the right! Woo hoo.

“Maybe you missed Trump’s immigration plan.”

I looked at the plan that his team deployed on his website. However, based on subsequent comments made by Trump, I am not sure that he read the same plan.

A socialist is a socialist... A narcissist is a narcissist. Trump is the new Obama. It makes total sense.

Knowing that everyone is a racist, I prefer a white dictator to a Kenyan Muslim one.

Don’t quote Reagan to defend the anti-Reagan

A Republican that voted twice for Obama does not have the ability for critical thinking. He is swayed by the personality and popularity of the moment.

Could care less what he thinks.

No, it’s not a charisma thing. JFK and Reagan had quite a bit philosophically in common. As Reagan said, the Democrat party left him—he didn’t leave the Democrat party.

Here is my opinion on why I think Don Trump is winning:

The media is our biggest enemy. He is the only one who gives them what they deserve, a good public spanking.

If someone doesn't take out the media, we are doomed.

Every other issue is #2 or lower at this point in the game.

Once the media problem is neutralized, someone like Cruz can come in and rebuild in 4 or 8 years.
