It’s hero worship.

Weak minds need a hero

If Donald Trump were to drop out right now it would be Ben Carson or Ted Cruz the Trump supporters would be running to, NOT Jeb Bush, Cristie or Rubio.

Ted Cruz supporters are NOT "weak minded".

In that case, you must have thousands of them.

Nice platitude there. I don't actually disagree that weak minds need a hero, but I disagree with the application of that idea to this situation.

I have noticed a phenomenon among human beings where they feel the need to categorize any person who disagrees with them as "stupid", though often "ignorant" will do in its place. I believe this is because anyone who realizes that an intelligent person disagrees with him is forced, logically, to question his own beliefs and entertain the idea that maybe he is wrong. In this case there are a number of legitimate reasons for intelligent, conservative people to support Trump. A blanket statement about those people being weak-minded is more indicative of the lack of confidence and/or weak-mindedness of the person making the statement.

Not hero worship. Just an honest assessment of the man as opposed to your close minded refusal to asses things objectively. And speaking of weak minds, I still remember it like it was yesterday, when you insisted to me in another post that building a border wall was something that was literally impossible. Weak minded indeed.
