Pay attention and learn and you will see that Trump is probably running the most disciplined campaign ever run.

Yup. Been a few minor mis-steps along the way, particularly how best to deal with the protesters IMO, but he learns quickly and doesn't repeat mistakes. Considering that he hasn't run for office and has not had the opportunity to learn how to avoid those mis-steps, it's an incredibly well-run campaign.

"When you learn enough about the science of persuasion"

Too many have their head in the sand to understand the Trump phenomenon.

From his school-yard diminishment of his competitors (low energy, mean, "Little Rube" etc.) to his shift to "leader" later, most folks underestimate his mastery of the Political Sciences.

Coming from a novice, it's remarkable. He's a natural.

That is good technique. A Master Persuader says FIRST the thing he wants you to remember. Then he explains why. If you do those things in reverse order – which is a common error – you get a hot mess. Good persuaders start with the conclusion first in this sort of situation. Bad persuaders give the reasoning first and work toward the conclusion.

Or, tell them what you are going to tell them, tell them, then tell them what you told them.

If Trump is elected and indeed does whatever it is that his supporters think he is promising to do, then things will be okay. Persuasive language lacks content and leads the listener to fill in their own content depending on what they want to hear.

If Trump is elected and does not do whatever supporters think he has promised, supporters who have based their decisions on emotions will not turn on him, but will change their OWN beliefs insted , a la “cognitive dissonance.”

Half the population has an IQ under 100.

And they have the right to vote, too.

Unless you’re counting being the first Hispanic to win a caucus/primary, Where has Cruz race-baited?

[Lagmeister]

Don’t you follow Cruz’s statements regarding Trump and the KKK. That is race-baiting and don’t deny that it isn’t.

[Lagmeister]

See my other post.

Denouncing the KKK is race baiting? Trump did it himself...later. Cruz was actually criticized for not saying more.

Here is all I found that Cruz said:

"Really sad," Cruz wrote on Twitter.

Cruz further told Trump that "you're better than this. We should all agree, racism is wrong, KKK is abhorrent."
