Other than his groupies, he really is despised by many who consider him dangerous.

Many others just consider him a goofy childish clown.

The question on Trump is whether he is a clown or a showman. The difference is subtle but important. A clown is not worth electing. A showman who gets free publicity but also knows what he is doing might become a formidable general election candidate.

Others just consider him the frontrunner with the most states and delegates won, by far, along with more than 2 million votes received than any other candidate.

And many consider you an ignorant POS.

Maybe Trump is a clown, maybe he isn't. What I find disturbing is how many people here and in the rest of the country are so easily fooled into believing that their candidate is NOT a clown. Every Republican candidate this year (and of course, all the Dems) was a clown with the possible exception of Carson, and he was mever taken seriously. The difference between them and Trump is that the rest (except Carson) spent serious time trying to polish their public persona, in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY THAT ACTORS PRACTICE THEIR LINES. Trump is actually refreshing in that he does NOT have that slick, polished feel (and neither did Carson, heh). If merely projecting a false persona with a lot of political buzzwords and reams of useless statistics is what constitutes a "mature" politician these days, I'll take Trump the Clown any day. At least when something ridiculous pops into his head, we'll know, because he'll SAY it, whereas a used car salesman like Cruz will hide it as best he can.

Whether he is a clown or not, Trump seems like the only one that a regular Joe would want to sit down and have a beer with. It's not because he is some God-like genius, but because he doesn't seem to have the multiple layers of subterfuge that define virtually every other politician. Perhaps that's why the reaction to Trump by some is so visceral - some people DEMAND to be bamboozled. Rather than accept a flawed but capable man, some people would rather be willingly deceived to believe their candidate is perfect and above everyone else.

He lack political skill. Good! Politicians have “f’ed” up this country for 200 years. Enough!
