Donald Trump has already won one important primary, and that's why he's not going anywhere any time soon.
Every time Donald Trump says or does something that would destroy the careers of most politicians, he maintains or even gains supporters. It seems that nothing he does erodes his support. His voters are loyal, that's for sure.
If you want to understand the Trump phenomenon and the durability of his campaign, you have to understand his voters and how they get their information. Many on the left mistakenly think that Trump supporters are "low-information voters." Nothing could be further from the truth. Actually, it's the opposite. They consume a lot of news and information, and almost all of it comes from their most trusted source - Matt Drudge.
Matt Drudge is all in for Trump, and he is making sure that his millions of daily readers are getting the news.

People pulled the lever for the GOP just to have them stab us all in the back repeatedly. They completely lost me on the Iran deal. A deal that subverts the most basic functions within the Constitution is not going to keep my loyalty.
We need a change in law, procedures, the Constitution, that stops the counting of illegals as part of a state’s population in apportioning electoral votes. I still believe in the electoral voting system. Reform it.
Why on earth would Trump run as VP? Can someone explain that to me? He’s not a politician and I can’t see why he would have any interest in presiding over the senate. The ticket only makes sense when it is Trump/Cruz. THAT is extreme power right there.
Well, George, let me help you out with your prediction, and its actual relevance.
"Trump nomination would destroy GOPe"
There...that makes it plain, and that is a good thing.
Folks like George just do not get it...even at this late date.
They are completely out of touch and not plugged into the frustration, the anger...and the rage that is fueling God-fearing, solid conservative and constitutional American people.
We voters, the heart and soul of the GOP (and plenty of independents and even democrats too) are madder than hell at the broken promises and the lies from the GOPe and any other establishment politicians.
We have given them opportunity after opportunity. delivering majorities to them...AND NOTHING CHANGES!
It has become painfully clear that simply electing more GOP politicians that the GOPe serves up to us is NOT the answer. They promise one thing, and then do another. over and over and over again!
Paul Ryan's latest budget deal with the DNC is the perfect example...and the absolute straw that has broken the camels back.
No more!
We are going to start running those bastards out of town on a rail, dripping tar and covered in feathers...and at that they will be getting off light.
why?
As I said, it is simple. We are madder than hell and outraged at their antics.
We love this country and we know what it needs, and that is representatives who will keep their promises and deliver the conservative, constitutional actions this nation needs...and it not the GOPe or anyone holding to that brand.
If that is Cruz...so be it. If that is Trumpo...so be it.
So you see, the whole point is to destroy the GOPe and...
BURN IT DOWN TO THE GROUND
We will build back a GOP on top of the ashes that will keep its word, turn this nation around, and actually follow the Party Platform.
How about that Georgie?
The Bushs, the Ryans, the Boehners, the McConnels, the Grahams, the McCains, et., etc. have had their day...and each of them have made nice with those who are destroying this country and taken their own constituents for fools.
As I say...no more!
FOlks like George Will and like Krauthammer may not believe it. You may not like it. You may prognosticate against it and continue to serve your masters.
Too bad.
Get the hell out of the way or get bowled over with them.
How long before the calls for a ‘head shot’ to stop Drudge?
I’m a supporter of Trump’s policies but I hope he stops using cringe-worthy language like schlong Or I’m going to have a hard-time defending him. I’m a churchgoer and don’t want to hear that type of language from a possible future Presidrnt who may meet with Putin, Queen Elizabeth, etc.
I don't think it was intentional like cognitive dissonance. These people BELIEVED the lies and listened to their hearts about the "basic goodness of humanity" etc. The problem is that there isn't any "basic goodness" once they have been subjected to their environment. Look at Muslims, look at all manner of them. Look at Obama - he's one..... We, yep, I'm one who took the GOPe Bullsh!t hook line and sinker for nigh on two decades now. Never, ever, never, never EVER AGAIN. They (GOPe) are actually bigger enemies to me than Demcrats are. There is nothing lower to the ground than the belly of a GOPe snake, and the Democrat rides his back.
I doubt anyone ON THIS SITE is letting Drudge pick their candidate. Trump has EARNED OUR RESPECT and if Drudge disappeared tomorrow, Trump’s numbers wouldn’t budge.
Look again at the budget deal. That deal backtracks on the minuscule efforts to control the budget, funds PP, funds a huge welcome mat for illegals. What did the GOP get for that? More H-1b and H-2b visas, and the ability to export petroleum. They sold out their constituents for a couple payoffs for big business.
“Fundamentally deranged”
That is a great term for all political and media elitists. They seem to be incapable of understanding the Trump effect at a fundamental level. Their echo chamber existence has damaged their thinking and reasoning capabilities beyond repair.
Their pain is quite tasty.
Thanks Matt & Donald.
That is a huge problem with most of the conservative sites. Very messy and unprofessional. Would be a LOT better if they cleaned them up. I don’t understand why they don’t.
My comment wasn’t about the (one would think, right-minded) voters. It was about the lying bastard politicians. I fully concur with your assessment with regard to them.
I’m a churchgoer too and couldn’t care less that Trump uses that language. Jesus used some tough language too. Even using that language Trump has more respect for people than Hillary does, way more.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I m with you on Trump- for entertainment value alone.
He is using the alinsky play book on the liberals, democrats,fascists muzzies and MSM.
The MSM then howls, rants and raves about Trump, spreading the message wider than anyone could by using traditional political ads or messages.
Saw a great piece yesterday saying Trump has a real change of winning New York, and if he does the Dems cannot win. He is a real New Yorker (as opposed to Hillary), and they love his bravado.
Great article, thank you.
