So, the WaPo has discovered that Trump’s hold on the GOP is that he is using Jedi mind tricks on conservatives.

example of his mastery in exploiting the psychological biases of conservatives

It's an example of Trump manipulating the media. The guy makes a Junior High Bathroom joke and it has catapulted him onto all the major networks and an article in the Compost.

The only psychology they need to look at is the addiction psychology the press has. Trump winds them up and watches them go! They are like Moths to a flame.

I won't speak for all conservatives. But this conservative doesn't mind the Trumpisms because I know that Donald Trump is speaking unfiltered, unpracticed, un-nuanced. Where all the rest of the Candidates speak in measured terms. Show their fear they might slip up. They are all policy wonks who are so worried about small details they miss the big picture, or worse have their own agenda and are trying to parse terms to leave the door open to what they really want.

What I see is a (totally despicable) woman who wants to be President of the US and save world civilization who doesn't have enough leadership to get the commercial break extended until she could get back on stage.

I'm wondering if it was a "cute" cynical maneuver on her part to look human, and Trump isn't letting her play her games. Remember the "I am woman" type tears in her last run for the nomination?

I’ll bet she was eating at Chipotle again right before the debate.

conservatives have a particular revulsion to disgusting images

We'd all be better off liberals also had a revulsion to disgusting things.
