“Today’s big puzzle is how so many otherwise rational people have become enamored of Donald Trump, projecting onto him virtues and principles that he clearly does not have, and ignoring gross defects that are all too blatant.”

Because he did the work these people were too chicken$hit to do? He was willing to take the risks, take the heat...

AND THUS HE REAPS THE REWARDS.

Does that make it clear?

It’s going to be fabulous to see what you say when if Trump wins, he governs like a standard Progressive.

He’s a corporate socialist, turned GOP music man, who is capitalizing on panicked voter derangement syndrome.

Trump has so far hit Clinton with a little peashooter and she still folded. Wait until he aims his big guns at her....

BOOM!!

“He’s a corporate socialist, turned GOP music man, who is capitalizing on panicked voter derangement syndrome.”

Stringing a bunch of stuff together does not make it coherent.
And then you take a shot at people that support him. Wonderful... They are just “deranged”.

And guess who wants those deranged people’s votes?

Like I said, you people loved it last fall and summer. Don’t flip-flop now. He earned the support he has whether you like it or not, and it is far too late to pull this crap and think that people are seeing it as anything other than desperate.

You might want to look up what “projecting” means.

“You might want to look up what “projecting” means.”

You may want to stop using terms inappropriately, and actually point out where I’m factually wrong.

Oh yeah, you cant.

Well, there you go. I’ll just have to vote for Rubio now since he leads Hillary. Wait, Carson led her even more. I’ll vote Carson.

Donald Trump = poorly mannered Mitt Romney. Don’t expect a different electoral result.

I'm sure that is clear to a card-carrying member of the Trump Personality Cult, but to those of us in the Real world who use logic and reason to arrive at conclusions, that is clear as mud.

"I'm sure that is clear to a card-carrying member of the Trump Personality Cult...blah blah blah. typical Cruz supporter snobbery"

So translation:

You're right, but I have jack $hit to refute it with, so let me declare your point invalid by declaring myself more intellectual, because that's an argument....

You’re projecting on to Trump your belief that he is going to close the border when he’s not.

Trump’s touchback amnesty will fast track the illegals back into the country legally which means they can bring their families with them.

Bringing in roughly 60 million 3rd worlders legally isn’t closing the border.

You can project your belief on to Trump that he is closing the border all you want but it’s just a fantasy.

45 to 43 in favor of Clinton? Clinton is not “ahead” as 2% is well within the M.O.E. In other words a “dead heat”, or tie.

bs...big bs....pure unadulterated Irish bs.....and if you honestly believe this the way the misinformed Steve Hayes does, then I feel sorry for how you’ll feel at the ultimate outcome.

I assume he will do as he says.

You assume Cruz will too.

In the end either they do or they dont. Standing on a bunch of woo where you assume your expectations are more valid (because reasons) is not any more of an iron-clad contract than mine. Just because you have “projected” that Cruz will magically do what he says (all real world variables ignored) doesn’t make it better.

What the hell do you think elections are about? You listen to candidates, chose which one has the better plan, and then you vote for them.

He says deport them, but some can go through the process LEGALLY. No fast-tracks. No privileges, and there will be an actual guarded border wall (that money funneled to Mexico will pay for) to stop them from just walking back in. And go after companies that knowingly hire them.

That’s fine with me.

“You can project your belief on to Trump that he is closing the border all you want but it’s just a fantasy.”

And your belief that Cruz will, let me guess, is 10000000000% guaranteed by God himself?
