Trump’s success shows how completely out of touch the GOP, the DNC and the MSM really are. Middle America has been abused and ignored, and it’s fighting back, and the establishment is shocked.

"Trump has done nothing" In other words: he's an outsider, just what we need, and he's not stupid.

We need to stop doing what hasnât worked and doesnât work. Thatâs not anger. That rational thinking. You're right. Elections don't work and haven't for at least the last 60 years.
These friggin treasonous traitors should be dragged from their offices, tarred, feathered, and hung from DC lamp posts.
Yes, I would say that is anger.

“Now, why would anyone be upset about that?”
Why, no reason at all. The current inhabitants of that territory once know as “the United States of America”, except for a few “enlightened” persons, are mainly homophobes, xenophobes, benighted practitioners of an obsolete and irrelevant religion, and persons who have some sort of belief that other people should make some kind of effort to meet their OWN needs.
And everybody knows that sunshine, lollipops, rainbows and unicorn poop is REALLY what makes the world go around.

Trump has done nothing to fight that government except run his mouth.
President Cruz will fix it.
Seriously? Imagine where we would be right now in this race if Trump didn’t run and run his mouth. We’d have Jeb in first place with Rubio, Kasich, and Christy in a close 2nd, and Cruz would be much farther down in the polls (with Rand Paul) cast as the extreme kook fringe candidate that likes to read Green Eggs and Ham and singlehanded!y shut down the govt and caused poor people to not get their entitlements. The media would have totally written the narrative. There would be no talk about illegal immigration, a border wall, PC run amok, trade imbalances, jobs, etc. Cruz has Trump to thank for his position in the polls right now.

Actually, no. With Reuters, it’s all about its poll size. A bigger poll favors Trump, smaller polls, less so. This was a TINY poll (168) as opposed to the near 600 respondents in the polls that had him up to 42%. An average with Reuters is about 300, so you can probably add about 3-4% to this poll and get a real Reuters “average.”

The anger is both a shield and defense against further hurt. The hurt originates from fraud and deception.
But anger is only one facet of the overall profile of the electorate.
With respect to Donald Trump, his message is liberating (from the stifling effects of PC) and uplifting (Americans can and must do better).
If anger were the only reason to support Donald Trump, he would be so low in polls that he would have withdrawn by now.
What adheres voters to Trump is trust in his patriotism and track record of delivering on terms. He has a long record of taking hopeless things and making them golden.
Ted Cruz also engenders trust but Donald is able to unite many more factions which is why he is leading.
Those who fall into either the Trump or Cruz camps are to be congratulated for their perceptiveness. We must ensure that one of these two incredible Americans go the distance to become our President.

Well that’s a nice sentiment except that Cruz is just not able to convince the GOP voters. He’s not going to be the nominee. Its beginning to look a lot like Trump.

LOL! But not before introducing "bipartisan legislation" and debating it to death...Then whining and crying about how he was lied to (by known masters of deceit)
Were you saying something about doing nothing except running off at the mouth?

And neither has Cruz....after all he is a ‘politician’ and can do something about things, that's why he was elected...where's the fence that has been approved by the House and Senate? Isn't Cruz in the Senate??? Doesn't he live in Texas? So where’ the fence?????
As far as Trump is concerned, he's not elected YET but will soon be, so before rattling off things about Trump how about rattling off things that a ‘sitting Senator’ can do and I have only see 1 bill with his name on it....how many things do you see with Trump's name on them? And Trump isn't even a ‘politician’ yet.......................

Lately the LSM has been going out of their way to tell RAT voters that only Republicans are fed up with the Establishment, only Republicans like Trump.

Angry?
I was past "angry" after Waco.
White hot hate is more like it.
How about after Ruby Ridge which occurred under that RINO sonuvabitch GHWB? That bastard betrayed everything that Reagan stood for, and resulted in the Clinton Crime Syndicate seizing control of the executive branch, but hey, Bubba is just GWB's "brother by another mother" so it's all ok now, right?
Like Hell it is.
