Talk show hosts, mediaites and pundits are all asking the same question, “why is Trump so popular”? Pampered establishment politicians are all asking what’s Trump got they ain’t got?
“Courage”, said Tin Man, Scarecrow and Dorothy to the Cowardly Lion. Courage to be himself and stand against Political Correctness!
With all his flaws, brash babbling and seemingly insensitive nature, he musters the courage to stand and speak against the tyranny of Political Correctness… even if he himself is flawed. One of the favorite tactics of the left is to disqualify folks, especially conservatives, from having a voice because some moral flaw has been uncovered, causing folks on the right to cower with their tails between their legs. The reason this works is because people have been hoodwinked into to thinking they must play by the rules of Political Correctness, IF, they are to have a voice. Political Correctness has been erected and is maintained by the left… it is very stringent and most on the right have been suckered into trying to play by their rules, they build a façade conforming to PC, in the hopes they will be heard. However, once a conservative politician has erected his PC façade, all the left need do is kick at the underpinning, and the façade comes crashing down… all gasping and tsk-tsking!
One of Ted Cruz’s greatest downfalls is that he has perfected the art of politispeak, a way of speaking that belies normal human behavior, ie, nobody talks like that, but for politicians! It is PC at is most inglorious height! Politicians think it’s something you must do if you expect to be taken seriously in running for political office. Cruz’s vocal range is smooth; his vocal inflections occur at just the right time and tone for the greatest impact; then there is the pause for effect; never showing a ruffled feather; ever wise and deliberative, as with his standard expression, “look, in the end, what we’ve got to do is…” as if his view is the most reasoned; always saying the things conservatives love to hear. Ted Cruz is about as real as the Easter Bunny… sorry Mr. Easter Bunny… not that he’s not sincere, but his PC façade is so glaring, I can’t hear what he has to say.
Trump is Trump, he has no façade, therefore the left has no power over him; and the phony conservative establishment who play by PC rules cannot control him, he’s “free swinging”, and that has them all in a tizzy; when they throw tomatoes, he throws rotten tomatoes back at them; when they open a can of worms, he flings it at them, and they choke, gag and sputter, “How Dare He?”.
He reminds us of everyday people… maybe most of us would not say some of the things he says, but we admire that fact the he says them. In fact, he says what most of us think, the same quality that keeps Rush Limbaugh on the radio year after year… we think it, he says it. He not only steps on the egg shells of people’s phony social politeness, he crushes them under foot, by stating the obvious; like, “we have to stop Muslims coming into this country till we find out what is going on”, or, “we have to build that wall, we have to”. To that we all say, “Hell yes” and “Amen”!
Because Trump is Trump, he has the ability to pull back the curtain on the fat, little false wizards of political correctness of both parties to show they are no better than the rest of us, in fact, he exposes the fact they are much more to be despised than we had ever thought, and we cheer the exposure of their fat little arsses.
Not to compare Trump to Jesus Christ, far be it… but like Jesus did to the money changers in the temple, Trump is doing in politics. The common people would cheer the actions of Jesus, for the money changers were corrupt people and had turned His Father’s house into a den of thieves and they were ripping off the common folk, who for conscience sake, play by the rules. So too, the common people of our era are cheering Trump because he is flipping the political tables, sending money grubbing politicians sprawling on the floor after their precious political bobbles all strewn about…
…we watch in amazement as those who would tell us what to think, gasp at the brash Donald Trump… one by one we watch, something inside clicks, we begin to applaud slowly, then more enthusiastically as they all start slapping themselves silly, confounded by The Donald.
Everyday WORKING people
“...flings it at them, and they choke, gag and sputter, “How Dare He?”. “
Lol. Right on the mark.
THANK THEE LORD!
Trump has yet to top 50% in any poll, or in any state’s voting result. He polls behind Hillary, and rarely gets his polling numbers (which explains his 10 losses in states where he was polling ahead, even in the final days before voting). I’m not sure that his appeal to “everyday people” is as significant as his supporters want to believe.
Like Cruz is wowing...
I’m supporting Trump totally if for nothing else than that so many people I dislike very much are against him. He bothers them and they bother me. That is enough.
Well its still early and we’re not in the general election mode yet. Could it be that a lot of the negative buzzers against Trump now will flip the switch later on? Look at all the crapola thrown at Trump up to this point and yet there he is as the frontrunner. Teflon Don for sure.
He knows the type of people who will get the jobs done, the working class of America, the people who do work for a living, he has always gotten along with the cabbies, the newspaper vendors on the street corners of New York City, the people who live their lives and enjoy life, he could care less about how to impress the ‘next billionaire’ like Mike Bloomberg or others in that category, he likes American people, us, the working middle class people...
And that's why he's going to be a great POTUS, he's one of us and he talks to us, in our language, and not AT us like the ‘elites’ of the world do...
GO.TRUMP!!!
Regular people read about all the illegals coming in and wonder why we're not protecting our border. Politicians say the border's secure and we're deporting more people than ever. But regular people who have/had landscaping/painting/maid/childcare services have seen their businesses falter or fail due to competition from illegal aliens who don't pay employment taxes, get business licenses, pay minimum wage, etc.
Regular people see their hospitals failing and health costs going up because the hospitals are treating illegal immigrants for free.
Those 10 losses could easily be explained by voter fraud. In fact, that is the only explanation for so many polls to be that inaccurate! If polling is being done to assess what people are thinking, they are usually pretty accurate. Of course, when they are being done to push an agenda, that is a different story. However, even in those cases, as the election nears, even those pollsters try to be pretty close to what actually happens. They don’t want to lose all credibility.
But remember people, Trump can make an issue about these elections where fraud was clearly rampant (such as Utah) and get those delegates thrown out. I hope that he does, even if he has the delegates, just on general principle. So people can see just exactly how corrupt the GOPe really is!
The Tweeter in Chief is really courageous. Can’t wait to find out what woman he will Tweeter attack next. Who knows, maybe he’ll work his way up to disparaging children Tweeter. That would be really awesome.
Like I said, they throw tomatoes, he’ll throw rotten tomatoes back at them...
The short answer to Trump’spopularity: anything but another criminal is preferred. A homosexual Marxist Muslim that spends 100s of millions sneaking around the planet to ridicule Americans, ridicule whites and spread his venomous lies to our sworn enemies.
