I have finally figured out why people like Sowell and Krauthammer cannot understand Trump and why many Americans support him so ardently.

Trump cannot be understood using one's head. Logicians are blind to his appeal.

Logic and reason are great for thinking, but they lack the one thing that is absolutely imperative for business success and real leadership.

"Gut."

Trump might be using his head, but he sure isn't using his brain.

And that is factual

I saw an interview with Ted Cruz yesterday on Lou Dobbs

Sad he was talking about getting more delegates not more Voters

Another wise he knew the people would never vote for him ( currently running third in most States but the delegates are voting for him , sorry Ted That strategy will cost us the White House, Judges, Senate and maybe the house.

Your selfish drop out the people don't like you. I don't care about delegates nor will they get to do anything in November, Virginia, Florida and Ohio not 20% of the vote , won zero counties , thanks Ted for the Judges Hillary will appoint.

Oh, Lord, are you serious? Did you read that before you posted it?

We are supposed to be the party of thinking people, but I think that you have inadvertently nailed Donald s support, gut, or substitute another word, emotion.

We most certainty would not want to use logic or reason to help in our selection of the chief executive of the US. sarc.

Also, don’t think that the Donald enjoys such overwhelming support. He hasn’t even won a majority in a primary. I’ll give you that his supporters are enthusiastic, but, that doesn’t translate to electoral successes.

Trump is a crony capitalist and carnival barker. Appealing to the gut not the mind is the same thing Hitler did. Not sure that is the best model. Party corruption notwithstanding.

He is a brilliant whiner however. As this article illustrates so clearly:

Logic and reason are the foundation of conservatism. It's thinking through the cause and effect of policy, rather than going with what makes us feel good. "Gut," as you put it, is the foundation of liberalism. So long as the liberal feels good as a result of policy, then the policy is good. The actual effects of the policy are irrelevant. But you just inadvertently hit upon in a nutshell why real conservatives don't support Trump at this point. There is still an option that represents logic and reason, analysis of cause and effect, who's policies are guided by outcome, not gut feelings.
