My theory is that Trump’s insults are simply attractive to angry voters. When he connects at this emotional level, the intellectual level is suppressed.

It explains what happened to me just yesterday. I was getting the usual barrage of insults and jabs at Cruz over building a wall. I had challenged them on how Trump would pay fo his plan. “He would make Mexico pay!” was the repeated response. When asked how, I was reminded I was an idiot and Cruz was blah, blah, blah...

I posted a link to Cruz’s plan, challenged them to read it, and asked for Trump’s so we could compare. One acknowledged that if he did have one, they had not read it or knew where I could find it. That ended the interaction.

They could not point to actual policy to support their choice of candidate. His insults relate to their anger. His policy or political association past are irrelevant.

No, his message is common horse-sense and clear English.

He doesn't have 15-point plans on PowerPoint and then say in a calm voice his opponent is simply misguided and we all need to come together to heal our nation or some other crap.

We can have a candidate that is always gracious and runs a perfect conservative textbook campaign and fawn over him or we can support a candidate that can actually win! Trump doesn’t have to be my best buddy, I want an asskicker. My kids are getting older and I don’t have time to wait and see if Cruz, a career politician, will do the right thing.

That’s just silly. We can easily “get mexico to pay for it” by simply canceling all the entitlement transfer payments to illegals. Hell we could probably build two.

And further having read both candidates policy statements on their websites they are largely the same with one exception - trump goes into more detail on how much illegals are currently costing us.

He gave his plan to get Mexico to pay in a speech...His plan involves economics driven by US companies with much manufacturing in Mexico, which is Mexico’s life blood at this time...

I don’t know where it is written down anywhere...But he did give a great plan...
