"The appealing thing about Trump's candidacy to authoritarian voters is not so much what he says, but the fact that he's saying it in a charismatic and forthright manner. At a very basic level, his is the more confident voice - literally. Studies have shown we tend to subconsciously associate deeper and louder tones in politicians' voices with dominance, Republicans especially. For many, this makes Trump look like the alpha male by default."

LOL, the writer must think that being a community activist is a prerequisite for understanding our nuclear capabilities.

As opposed to the traitors and communists alternatives? Or perhaps the “open borders” types who live in gated, secure communities and fail to address the long term demographics awaiting their kids and grandkids? And your kids and grandkids? How about the racial and Muslim panderers? Think they’re a step up above Trump, Chris?

The Council of Trump Concern Trolls are posting more and more doom-and-gloom stories as we inch closer to Iowa.

Hey, I got an Idea, why don’t you link your name to anti-Trump articles posted on Salon and Huffington Post.

"Democratic leaders who prefer Trump over Cruz are underestimating Trump's chances of victory and ignoring the lessons of history. Here's why.

I love the appeal to democrats to switch their support to Cruz because Cruz is less likely to win the general election.

With Trump in the White House, a Republican-controlled Congress would be able to pass into law any legislation it wants: Abolishing departments, ending environmental protection, re-instituting torture, sending troops against ISIS, banning Muslims from U.S. entry and observing Muslim citizens, establishing Trump’s Deportation Force, building the boondoggle of a “big, beautiful wall” while attempting to coerce an ally into paying for it.

ANd that’s a DAMNED GOOD START at Fixing everything that is wrong, thanks to you and your quisling friends.

The republic is already dead, this election is best served by voting for the best emperor we can find vs. a traditional president.... sadly.

It isn't. And look how well having a rank amateur in the Oval Office has worked over the last 8 years. So why would we want four or eight more?

Yes, the "nuclear triad" is like rocket surgery, eh?

It's SO COMPLEX that a brainless buffoon like Trump will NEVER figure it out.

Or it's so self-explanatory that a guy who's got FoxNews, part of the Media DeathStar, CRAWLING on its knees begging Trump to come back to tonight's debate, would be able to master the concept while simultaneously doing a Soduko puzzle.

One of those two.

Is it just me, or are The Usual Suspect Cruzers making themselves look like laughingstocks over the last several days?
