Twitter feuds, hero bashing, insulting not one but two ethnic groups, ad hominem personal attacks on opponents, nose-to-nose confrontations, just one scandal after another—these aren’t from episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians—they’re from the “Trump Saga.”
At the outset of the campaign, Trump insulted anyone and everyone: from calling undocumented immigrants “killers” and “rapists” to insulting venerated war hero John McCain. He then moved on to TV host Megyn Kelly, radio host Erick Erickson, Univision reporter Jorge Ramos, the pope, Carly Fiorina and the Fox News Channel.
Democrats and Republicans alike didn’t take Trump too seriously when he entered the race in June, but as his list of gaffes increases, so does his list of supporters. In a campaign that is changing daily, Trump’s candidacy has shown a pattern of increased support.
Current polling continues to show Trump as the leader among the Republicans. He polled at 6 percent in early July; by late July, he had taken the lead from Jeb Bush.

He tells the truth that dumbed down Americans need to know.
He may not make it, but I'm enjoying the h*ll out of watching Lib's heads explode.
GO GET 'EM TRUMP!!
Trumps replies are instantaneous, direct, brutal and no focus groups were consumed in the process.
I can say it in one sentence. Americans are sick of Political Correctness.
I’m sick of his name calling but LOVE the truth.
NOTHING WORSE than PC.
I just wrote to you about this!
And you are right!
People want a strong leader not a beta male politically correct pussy

Effective for what?
Tickling the fancy of the ill-informed?

That much is true; I enjoy seeing nonsense mocked, whoever does it.
Trump is so unlikeable he’s leading in all the polls. :-)
Why Is Trump’s Brutal Style So Effective?
For the same reason we all want to see the ObamaCare “Pajama Boy” in the ring with Mike Tyson.
“Trumps replies are instantaneous, direct, ...”
Correct. When politicians are asked questions, you can see them processing a reply, asking themselves which filters they should use, what’s PC, etc. Trump does none of that; he just tells the truth. And people call that “brutal”.
Because after years of taking brutal abuse from Elitest scumbags like “Newsweak” the people finally found someone willing to look the news media scum in the eye and tell them they are scum.
“Trump makes the scribblers and the big mouth press pee on themselves.”
LOL, that would be a different kind of tingle down Chrissy Matthews’ leg.
