I remember back in 2008, a purge of members who defended Rudy Giuliani, in many cases, rightfully so, as some of the attacks were nothing but slander. I doubt there is much difference in most political views between Trump and Giuliani but a world of difference in temperament.
I'm afraid that a lot of people have surrendered to anger rather than rational thought. When was the last time you made a good decision when angry?
IMO, Donald Trump is our Jesse Ventura. Unfortunately, despite the obvious signs, many will not perceive his incompetence until he inflicts it on our country for four years. Like Ventura, Trump has all the earmarks of a disaster waiting to happen.
I credit his popularity to an irrational hunger for ‘red meat’....and he dishes it out in huge servings.
