"The appealing thing about Trump's candidacy to authoritarian voters is not so much what he says, but the fact that he's saying it in a charismatic and forthright manner. At a very basic level, his is the more confident voice - literally. Studies have shown we tend to subconsciously associate deeper and louder tones in politicians' voices with dominance, Republicans especially. For many, this makes Trump look like the alpha male by default."

LOL, the writer must think that being a community activist is a prerequisite for understanding our nuclear capabilities.

As opposed to the traitors and communists alternatives? Or perhaps the “open borders” types who live in gated, secure communities and fail to address the long term demographics awaiting their kids and grandkids? And your kids and grandkids? How about the racial and Muslim panderers? Think they’re a step up above Trump, Chris?

The Council of Trump Concern Trolls are posting more and more doom-and-gloom stories as we inch closer to Iowa.

"Democratic leaders who prefer Trump over Cruz are underestimating Trump's chances of victory and ignoring the lessons of history. Here's why.

I love the appeal to democrats to switch their support to Cruz because Cruz is less likely to win the general election.

With Trump in the White House, a Republican-controlled Congress would be able to pass into law any legislation it wants: Abolishing departments, ending environmental protection, re-instituting torture, sending troops against ISIS, banning Muslims from U.S. entry and observing Muslim citizens, establishing Trump’s Deportation Force, building the boondoggle of a “big, beautiful wall” while attempting to coerce an ally into paying for it.

ANd that’s a DAMNED GOOD START at Fixing everything that is wrong, thanks to you and your quisling friends.

The republic is already dead, this election is best served by voting for the best emperor we can find vs. a traditional president.... sadly.

Trump is NOT the Uniparty.

While I am a Cruz supporter and not in favor of Trump, the options were are, in this order:

Uniparty or Not?

Trump or Cruz?

The key to this election is the defeat of the Uniparty. Everything we hold dear as conservatives is attacked and undermined by the Uniparty. To ever defeat the Uniparty, we must first defeat them within the Republican Party.

Trump does that. It may be ugly. It may be populism. It may be unpredictable. Trump may gore our ox 50% of the time, and the other guy’s ox 50% of the time.

But the Uniparty is killing us 100% of the time.

So quit thinking Trump is the end of the world. He is a half-measure when we’ve currently got nothing.

He just needs the same 50.1% of the electorate that voted for George W. Bush in 2004.

Leftists are still suffering butt-hurt over George W. Bush ... and he wasn't even particularly conservative.

Isara, I can understand when you bring out “conservative” objections to Donald Trump, even if I don’t agree with all or even most of their gloom and doom.

But now you’re dragging in (illiberal) liberals. Why???
