To put it simply ...
A revolution in patriotic courage.
The Trump Revolution [a prediction already unfolding]

Any FReeper and any TeaPartier can fully explain the Trump phenomena. Libs and dems cannot figure out where there ani are.
This is precisely how Hitler came to power. Not that Trump is Hitler. But he might very well be the skinny end of the wedge that could lead to Hitler.
You are worthless and wont vote for what you ran on. You tell a lie every time you open your mouth. You are a lap dog for the people who will destroy this country to make a buck.
They should be able to understand that.
Bingo. Some, of the more rabid Cruz supporters, can be added to the -those that don’t get it- list.
All you need to know. It is a love affair based on feelings. There is no logic to it.
If advertising a product on TV, do you willingly provide mundane details about its ingredients or describe the intricacies of its manufacturing process? ...
Yes if you are Jeb. Listen to his speeches about how he was such a successful Governor because of this detail and that detail.
I believe a leader should set the Goals and Define measurable Objectives and leave the Strategies and Tactics to his well chosen Team leaders. Review the results and modify as necessary to obtain those objectives.
All the so called experts expect Trump to be a military expert and layout the battle plan for the Military Triad on TV while they watch and criticize. Sorry not his job and below his pay grade.
I especially liked the last bit -
It's as if Trump is courting Lady America with wine, roses and his alpha-male persona, while the Establishment candidates are lead-tongued nerds promising a tent with NSA surveillance, a bowl of soup and squatters on a burnt-out lawn.
Thanks for a great post. I recommend reading both articles, this one and the one the Duke refers to. They helped me understand the Trump phenomenon better as did Steyn a week or so ago.
People want change but not Ovomit’s change. People want to restore America to her preminent position. It's not clear that this huge endeavor can be done after 50 years of decline but most folks seem to think the attempt is worth it.
Trump is by far a wild card in US politics but he is INVIGORATING, entertaining and funny. We can only assume and pray that of he gets the nomination and if he gets elected he will indeed place the very best & brightest individuals in his cabinet to restore this nation.
Any attempt to compare him to Hitler is grossly unfair. He is the ONLY candidate bringing up unpleasant issues tucked away under the PC carpet for too long.
One thing we do know and that is, if Hilliary is elected the Republic will shudder and die.
We need to reverse course before it is too late.
I was a successful computer systems sales guy for over 40 years and I knew {as well as any good sales guy} that logic and data were usable tools, but real deals were closed via emotion. Every sales training teaches emotional appeal, not to the exclusion of logic and facts, but just to recognize that 'people buy from people' and that means emotion is paramount.
In today's environment, with so much social media and so little direct human contact, the 'like-ability' factor becomes even more important, and we get most of that exposure from external images {TV, facebook, utube, twitter etc}.
The big problem my guy Cruz has, is while he is very logical and has facts and reason on his side, Trump is loved by his followers.
This election has provided every possible option to any voter from socialist bernie to conservative Cruz, with every thing in between.
“I often mention the fault of “mirroring,†which most everyone exhibits and is when you project your own ideals, values, priorities and mindset onto others.”
Very similar to the phenomona of when the likes of Danny Davito says that we are a country of racists.
Like Twinkies: the content doesn’t matter as long as it tastes good at the moment.
I can agree here.
Seems some purists will only accept the pastor of a church for a candidate. And it better be the ‘correct’ Christian denomination/church or it will won’t be good enough.
Then a few months later, everybody hated Alf. I mean people couldn't stand to look at him anymore and his voice was completely annoying.
Alf didn't change. He was still that same weird-haired orange fluff ball, but people slowly emerged from their bizarre mass hypnosis, where they were manipulated into thinking they actually liked Alf. Of course they didn't like Alf. Who could like Alf?
I'd prefer not to be ruled by the angry mob mentality or another narcissistic dictator at the helm.
The last time an Establishment of a Western country was this disconnected from the people they had their heads disconnected from their bodies.
As a Trump supporter, I voting for Trump to re build America because that is what I am, a born, bred American, the same as Trump....
I am a Cruz supporter, but I think this is an excellent analysis.
