as the real donnie emerges with statements like the one about funding the GOOD part of Planned Parenthood.....we will need a LOT of POPCORN...and patience with the fanboys who think the donnie is better than sliced bread.

Good article. The blind support for Trump that I have seen on free republic has really scared me. I always thought that us conservatives were informed and cared about the issues and so I have been shocked to see so many buy blindly into Trump’s personality cult.

Hillary, Obama horrible. Dead bodies litter the earth. All other candidates at the mercy of donors. America insolvents. Trump has skin in the game. Trump had issues but all other candidates would lose their lifeline ($$$) of they proved they’ve escaped the political matrix. This is Trump’s election to lose. The disenfranchised sit by and watch.

People are projecting onto Trump what they want to see.

Having watched him tonight, this is all too true. Does anyone actually remember Ronald Reagan? Trump has nothing in common.

Trump just seems like a New Yorker to me and since I grew up with them he doesn’t bother me at all. NYers say stuff all the time but it doesn’t really mean that’s what they really mean. It’s kind of venting.

The rest of the country does not understand this.

I think this is a brilliant piece.

I have been a fan of Trump’s knocking stuff over and breaking things up until he starts doing it for the sake of breaking things, and not to push a Conservative agenda.

We may have reached that stage based on comments from him, and his supporters.
Raising a bear is fun until the day he turns around and devours you.

Donald’s not Cruz, in the way the Marines aren’t the Army.

Different jobs.

All anyone is saying is that he’s not Army.

So what.

Is the Marines that hit the beach.

And that’s never pretty.

My opinion is that we are going to get a POS in the White House no matter who wins. If we get a POS who at least accidentally does some positive things for Americans, that will be an improvement over the POS we have now.

Excellent article. Trump really is the anger vote; he’s a populist who knows how to stir up the mob even without having any specific solutions or without even indentifying the problems. He does it simply by spewing an unfocused anger and letting the public fill it in with their own ideas of what he would or should do - none of which he has to specify.

A populist is not a conservative. He’s somebody who plays on anger and uses it to break and gain personal control over a political system. In Chavez’ case, and that of other populists the author mentioned, this was done with an ideological objective, but in Trumps’s case, it all seems to be about projecting his insane bloated ego. At the same time, the few things he has suggested have all been very leftist, but nobody seems to care. I was surprised, for example, when he was ranting in favor of single payer health care (the ultimate goal of Obamacare) and supposed conservatives just ignored it or even praised it.

Trump Cult of Personality article bookmark.

Agreeing with this about Trump is probably the last thing I have to say about the subject. Glad to see I'm not the only one who arrived at the same conclusion as the author.

The guy kind of misses the point. He uses the "there is no evidence" meme while ignoring that there is also no evidence on the opposite side of his meme. He then claims those who like what Trump is doing are those who approve of destructive tantrums and has nothing to do with standing up to the oppression of PC-communism/despotism.

GO CRUZ!!!

Italy was aided in 2006 in winning the World Cup because they teed off a certain Zidane who made his famous headbutt after being provoked, Trump is talking more measured now though you wonder about anyone who flies off the handle to make some of these twitter remarks.

A big-government, game-playing reality-TV populist spouts a bunch of slightly conservative soundbites, and all of sudden huge percentages of people are strapping themselves to his mahogany bandwagon like human shields. I thought we were smarter than this.

Is there anybody on earth who believes that government will shrink under The Donald? Does somebody believe he wants to take the reins of government so he can turn those reins back over to the people, where they belong? Not a chance in hell. It’s lunacy.

Reads like this GOPe pajama boy doesn’t want anyone derailing the federal criminal gravy train. It’s way past time to start smashing noses and running the fascist scum out of America.
