Eveningstar, you are trying to ridicule a prediction that is already unfolding before our very eyes. I’m not saying Trump is magical any more than most revolutions are magical.
Noticed this in your profile — I admire such candor:

This is what I think about the Republican candidates at this moment (subject to change, of course):
I’m OK with Cruz, Rubio, and Christie.
I don’t support the rest.

You would choose Christie over Trump and others? You are a babe in the woods.
I really like that song, EveningStar, which was part of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack. Very classy and I mean that. I am a fantasy writer myself and sometimes play it for inspiration.
But as to politics, you should spend less time in propaganda and more time researching.
One for the road:
[Video] Muslim Hordes Drag Women off to be gang-raped
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3382142/posts
This video has appeared on the Internet and will probably be taken down before long. In it, you can see a screaming German woman being dragged into a dark place in the Cologne subway station by a huge mob of Islamic and North African rapists. Not for the squeamish, but this needs to be seen. The MSM wants to hide this so we do not see what the refugees really are. This is our future if Hillary gets in. Obama has already let in nearly a million of this vermin. Watch this video and weep for Germany.CLICK HERE IF YOU...
How is a listing of names ridicule? ES is not making it up. It is a reflection of a segment of the Trump supporters whose presence and passion here has been a wonder to me.
I understand passionate oratory - attended a George Wallace rally in 1968. And Trump has the passion piece nailed. But, from my reading of history, red flags go up. A responsible and serious patriot will dig down past the passion to try to discern what else there is; and also try to think out how that passion will translate into reality, if power is given.
But, there are always people who will buy a pig in a poke.
Equating anyone with heroic figures is at one level amusing, even exciting. But it does not get us very far in grappling with who Trump really is and what a Trump presidency would actually look like.
So count me as one who thinks that The List is a legitimate and useful reminder as to what seems to be driving a segment of Trump supporters here.

I don't support the rest. I don't think they are presidential. Most of them are not conservative enough for me either. Since 1953, we've had six Republican presidents. Five have been moderates. We need another conservative. However, all the Republican candidates are better than anyone the Democrats have to offer.
I will vote for the Republican nominee in the general election. If I don't like the Republican nominee, I'll just consider that I'm voting against the Democrat.
