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. The most recent CNN poll shows him continuing to lead the pack, with 24 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents favoring him.
Trump has somehow weathered one faux pas after another, and despite being viewed more unfavorably than any other candidate, he has fought off one Republican opponent after another....

He attacks people or groups people dont like.
Venerated? Look, I won't ever disparage his service or his sacrifice but venerated is a strong word for a guy who pretty much nobody actually likes even if they admire his service.
I assume the 2 ethnic groups are Mexican (even though that’s a lie) and Muslims (even though that’s not even an ethnic group).
Simple.
People are sick of weak, ineffective 'leaders' who flip-flop when confronted.
In other words, we're sick of pu55ie5.
It must be the RepubliBitches that are whinning. Scan article for Erik Erickson, Megan Kelly or Jeb Bush and you’ll see what I mean.
Because Trumps brutal style is laced with truth. That is hard to hear from the current Washington communists empire.
People are past sick of political correctness. Backlash accordingly.
Right there. When I read/hear crap like that from the self-appointed intelligentsia, that's why I like Trump and his so-called brutal style.
It’s such a relief from all of the PC pandering that we see from the majority of politicians.
Because people are sick and tired of being bullied by ‘progressives’ and are happy to see someone bully them back?
It’s easy to see why if you just watched pussy John Kerry five minutes ago.
take your pick of any self-presumed victim group.
A bunch of fellow Vietnam vets don’t venerate him. I personally consider him one-half a notch above John Kerry. Your own imagination and judgment can tell you how low that is. Even IF McCain was a hero in Nam, he’s been a sleazy, turncoat ratface scumbag as a senator. IMHO.
Actually none as far I know. What I like about Trump is that he is standing up to the tyranny of the left and its political correctness and he is slashing back at the media. His tax plan is superior to the mess we have now. Above all, he is for deporting illegal aliens.
Yeah, that's why he's leading by so much. Jeez.
Trump is not really brutal, not at all. He fights, but he seems brutal only because of the geldings he is running against.
When the unvarnished truth is injected into an atmosphere of B.S. back patting, pandering and just generally bloviating it just seems like the style is brutal. The ruling class has been dropping the soap for so long that they forget how abnormal this behavior really is. Go Trump.. I didn’t like you at first but I will take you if I can’t get a real principled CONSERVATIVE out of this bunch of simpering panty boys.
Trump makes the scribblers and the big mouth press pee on themselves.
