I called it several weeks ago but here it is in writing: Donald Trump will win Iowa & New Hampshire. Here are the top seven reasons why:

1. Despair: Imagine if on almost every issue important to you over the last eight years you're watching the other side win. The President and pop culture are celebrating and it feels to you like the world is collapsing (think gay marriage and socialized medicine). Joe Trippi first pointed this out to me. It is hard to underestimate the anger of the Republican primary voter. This piece is very good on the subject: "The dark depths of conservative despair" by Paul Waldman in The Week.

8. Because he’s Trump.

Angry doesn’t begin to describe how I feel.

9. Iowa and New Hampshire are about to get increasing attention from Trump. He said it tonight.

[Jane Long]

10. All of the above!!

Trump for the win....to make America great, again!

Interesting article that kind of petered out after she finished listing the numbered reasons.

I can’t wait for him to call out Ryan and McConnell when he doesn’t get what he wants

[Georgia Girl 2]

You and me both. Lets see how RINO Ryan and McConnell deal with getting the Rosie ODonnell ghetto beatdown.

How about
9. I don’t like to be lied to by the media
The best example is the Muslims celebrating issue. Trump never said that there were thousands of them in a parade. But to say that 1000’s of them did not react with adulation is a lie.

At this point I don’t care if Trump is mistaken because I cannot trust blatant liars that have provably tried to remove stories from their archives to discredit a candidate.

It is past time that many leftist were publicly humiliated.

I think Ann Coulter nailed it on Nov 13 during the attacks in Paris saying that Trump was elected that night.

He was and they know it

What’s amazing is that they criticize Trump for things Hillary has done 100 times over but is never held to account. She is worse than a fascist and somehow no one seems to bring it up. Simply amazing. Bernie Sanders is a Stalinist. Crickets.

Ah! But Trump that is the real problem.

As I sit back and watch what is happening in the media, with the GOPe; RINOs; other candidates, there is an air of ‘desperation’ by all except Trump...

It's like he has 2-3 rallies or speeches a week, always on the go, from one end of America to the other end of America...and he's having fun....he is living what he believes in, if you can't have fun doing what your doing, then don't do it...and his crowds are having fun...and even if we aren't right there in the middle of them, you can feel the devotion...it's amazing what is going on...

There has never been an election like this one and there will never be another one...

GO.TRUMP.GO!!!

[annieokie]

I have never been so excited of any campaign ever. It is amazing to watch that man Go Go Go all the time and keep up his energy. AWESOME to watch.

What Trump said was, “And I watched in Jersey City, New Jersey, where thousands and thousands of people were cheering as that building was coming down.”

That particular claim isn’t true. There were thousands and thousands celebrating all over the world but not thousands and thousands in Jersey City.

I remember seeing the Muslims celebrating. Many remember it. But looking back in the Free Republic archive of WTC 9/11 coverage, I see that FReepers were debunking that claim about New Jersey back then.

[SamAdams76]

With the exception of probably Cruz, I don't think any of the other candidates are even on the campaign trail. I never see them taking questions, holding rallies, doing interviews, etc.

It's like Trump is operating in a vacuum and he's sucking up all the energy from the others.

(This is a good response to this subject.) You were doing so well up to here. What exactly are these “blatantly untrue statements”? Is it that there were people in NJ celebrating the fall of the World Trade Center. No amount of dissembling from Glenn Kessler (WaPo’s fact checker) can negate that the story was reported in the Washington Post. Trump may have exaggerated (hardly surprising), but the core of the story is true. How about mocking Kovaleski? Also untrue, despite attempts to freeze frame Trump’s hand motions to make it appear so. The proof is simple: watch any video of Kovaleski talking — he doesn’t jerk around. Or maybe it‘s the trope that Trump is against immigrants, when he is against *illegal* immigration (I say this as someone trying to immigrate to the US. Legal immigrants are vehemently opposed to illegal immigrants).

Given all that, and the increasingly hysterical Trump= Hitler op-eds, it doesn’t appear to be a noble, truthful, media trying to debunk Trump; it’s a media trying to push its own narrative, in whatever means possible. It’s pissed that Trump is determining the terms of engagement, while it cries, “How dare you try to subvert us, we of the enlightened media, we are the one supposed to be choosing the candidate, dammit!”

People who already don’t trust the media are seeing their distrust writ large when it actively misrepresents Trump, and uses tools like biased “fact checkers” to support their claims (I used to run a site that watched the fact checkers, so I am very aware of the ways they manipulate their willing audience). But the media is not guardians of their “truth” any more. The more they sneer, mock, condescend, call him names, manipulate event reporting, and outright lie, the more he captures the people’s disgust, and the more likely he is to win.

[BuckeyeTexan]

He is very entertaining, but realize that it’s easy to have fun when one is winning.
