The terrifying reason Trump is winning: The infantilized conservative base wants rage, not ideas

I can't wait for the exploding heads.

[piytar]

Yeah, because the GOP should take advise from Salon. LOL x 1,000!

[corlorde]

Wait, is Salon saying Jeb has ideas? lol.

[G Larry]

LOL!

The liberal fascist “ideas” are to avoid substantive debate at all cost.

Their “ideas” can’t stand the light of day.

Why do you think liberal talk radio has never worked?

The terrifying reason Trump is winning: The infantilized conservative base wants rage, not ideas

Ideas won't work when dealing with the infantile minds of Salon. It is like arguing with a duck. It simply has no capacity to comprehend.

A baseball bat judiciously applied is more the sort of argument that they can grasp.

I love it when the people who vote for government control and cradle to grave care (in effect voting for lifetime parents) refer to the folks who prefer independence as, infants.

[GraceG]

Conservatives are apparently hot headed when they are not cold-hearted. Well according to the progressive control freaks that cold heartedly endorse the killing of infants and scream with firey passion at demonstrations.....

Another case of routine liberal projection.

[silverleaf]

Another conservative writer attacking us... Sticks and stones son, sticks and stones

[EagleUSA]

Do people actually pay money for Salon magazine? Well, we know the libtards do have a mindless base out there....maybe them??

[PreciousLiberty]

I have a dream: Salon vanishes from the face of the Earth. :-)

Rational people here in the US have plenty to be angry about, and Trump is the only candidate who looks like he's in tune with that so far. Plus, his anti-PC approach is damn refreshing!

[Resolute Conservative]

I will never, never warm to Bush’s ideas. He is dead to me as are all of them outside of Cruz and maybe Trump if he is the last one standing. I won’t waste my vote anymore...

[roses of sharon]

Yes, rage is the reason.....bout time.

[Tzimisce]

Shouldn’t this be written in Arabic?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

OP is an anti-trump poster. So, even Salon gets clicks for it.

[demshateGod]

Salon, crap.

[Starboard]

Could the conservative infatuation with Trump have something to do with the fact that liberals have swung a wrecking ball into this country? Poll after poll shows that Americans believe the country is heading in the wrong direction. Trump is offering another more constructive direction and its resonating with many people. Trump’s popularity is a response to liberal failures. Salon just doesn’t get it and won’t admit it if they did.

Don’t tell anyone, but Trump s base is quite broad. Just like Reagan’s.

[Sgt_Schultze]

I see - he does speak Arabic. What a fruitbasket.

[GregoTX]

I wrote two months ago that Donald Trump is a mirror image of the conservative psyche, a perfect distillation of the Tea Party id: No ideas, no substance – just bluster and fiery platitudes.

Looks like I wasn't able to read past the first sentence, I stopped right there. Not being able to get past the first idiotic line is typical when I try to read an article published by salon.
