This sort of describes the Trump movement...

There is a growing contingent of people in this country who are totally and completely fed up with our entire political system. They don’t care about pragmatism, or policies, or outcomes. They just want to give everyone from the pundits to the politicians both middle fingers and they don’t care who else is looking when they do it.

For his part, Trump hasn’t merely knocked over the chessboard or set the rulebook on fire as Jazz postulated. That’s more like Ted Cruz level stuff. No Trump’s going the full Reservoir Dogs on our entire political process, dancing around as he cuts off its ear and pours gasoline on it while it begs him not to burn it alive. (Explicit content warning for those who haven’t seen the movie.)

The reality is most people are just looking for a candidate who reflects how they feel, and right now what most people feel is anger, frustration, and resentment. They’re tired of the games and have absolutely had it with political parties and the rich old white guys in Washington running them.

Trump’s very existence as a political entity is as an expression of that anger. Indeed, anger itself is probably too weak a word. This is not merely some mild irritation with the GOP establishment. His support comes from raw, unadulterated fury directed at all the levers of power that have failed us all again and again and again. After all these years of being lied to, stabbed in the back, and disappointed at every turn, some people have just decided they want the entire structure burned to the ground, and if they have to immolate the whole country to do it? So be it.

I think he should demand to be on the debate stage with the Democrats. Unfortunately he won’t make it that far.

Keep telling yourself that - we will remind you later when he’s elected President.

A well reasoned argument.

Where'd you learn to debate like that? In Miss Crabtree's class with Chubby n' Buddy?

Hillary is the establishment, if she wouldn’t lose to Trump, then she won’t lose to anybody.

If there should be voter fraud against Trump, my bet is he would **not** overlook it. Not a bit!

He has 0% chance in the General vs Hillary.

LOL, you think Hillary can win? We only lose when we refuse to fight. See Romney

Trump pulls as much from dems as repubs, as much blacks as whites, and pulls Hispanics at a higher rate than any repub (not sure about that dem demo.)

So there are enough voters to elect him. Which makes you wonder just who is the outlier?

Calling all those people delusional is just what 0bama and the gop-e would do. Screw you. I’m on Cruz control but I don’t like 0bama butt boys or gop-e attemting to ridicule regular people. Eff off.

Trump is delusional, and so are his supporters. He has 0% chance in the General vs Hillary.

Dang it, someone banned John McCain too quickly, we could have had fun playing with our toy senator.

Six to seven months to go before the primaries of Trump pounding the GOPE, the Lame Media, and the Dems is going to be a sight to see.

Savage thinks Trump wins over Hillary by 80% to 20%. Maybe that’s a little optimistic...I say it’s going to be something about 67% to 33%.
