I like the "Herb Plan" -- shove them all into trash cans in their garages!

Do you want him to implement it? "Eminent domain is wonderful", "Federal lands are magnificent", "health care provided for everyone", "the Bible is my favorite book", "make Wall Street pay", "prevent businesses from leaving", "make
Apple 'cooperate' with circumventing encryption", "send immigrants through the back door but let the illegals turn around and come back in the front", "make Deals" and make "the country great" -- any deal for anything sacrificing anyone to any "deal" in fascistic nationalism.

Clinical Psychologist Says Trump Is Following "Playbook" of Leaders Like Hitler, Mussolini

It's a possible or likely scenario: Trump continues falling from his polls just before elections as people realize he's a power seeking demagogue with no substance, but not falling enough to lose the elections -- until its too late for the last one in November when we're stuck with him.

Yes! . they have promised smaller govt, lower taxes,
fiscal responsibility, etc. without delivering. . ptui. -- j

You are probably right. And, as the Coulter article points out, Trump is saying a lot of things that people want to hear...but I think that 'anger against the RNC machine' is why emotion is running so high.

Yes. . the pity is that the electorate cannot see the
ultimate virtue of changing from the old political
machinery to something genuinely new, like Dr. Paul
or Gary Johnson. . they can, however, react and try
to force change. . likely in the wrong direction. -- j

p.s. I believe that the combination of no jobs and
student debt is causing Bernie's popularity.

Old saying: Even a fool learns from his own mistakes; a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.

In spite of being labeled, "Homo sapiens", we are not a wise species. I think that the root of the reason of Trump's popularity is that we have been scammed year after year by the same salesmen dressed in the same suits, saying the same things. Now Trump comes along (and Bernie too) and they are saying different things in different ways. We cynically suspect that 'they' might be crooks too, but their presence give us an opportunity: We can now lash out at all the people who scammed us in the past. Not the other current candidates, not the other party, but the structures who hand-served us the people we voted for and who fooled us time after time in the past.

I believe that it is anger against past betrayals that is fueling the popularity of Trump (and Bernie). We can acknowledge that Trump (&B) will probably just scam us again - but for the moment, we can destroy the pre-arranged political candidates (Clinton & Bush) and hurt the structures that have been manipulating us.

It is like firebombing a house where a heinous crime was committed: the house represents the crime. We have two candidates who are 'firebombs' looked at aghast by the Repub and Democ machines. People are flocking to those candidates so that our anger against the machines can lash out.

Jan

I don't think he's equipped to get into
specifics re: "Making America Great Again" -
Why hasn't he explained how HE alone will
make all this 'greatness' happen? Pshaw!!!

My posts here are extensive. To repeat the common theme: The GOP and the Dems are two left wings of the statist party. The GOP has betrayed conservative voters for generations. Voters don't get to choose the candidates of the GOP or Dems. Insiders will only allow a candidate that they can control, that is, a corrupt candidate without ethics. Any vote for either the GOP or the Dems is a wasted vote for a larger state, less individual liberty, and corrupt manipulated markets.

At present, only Gary Johnson deserves any thinking person's vote for president.

While living in an era of insanity, one is obliged to pick the least insane option. Or, the closest to rationality.

Uh, I have a CRUZ yard sign in my yard.

All the plans of the other candidates on immigration would work if they had been implemented 20 years ago. Another analogy: If a doctor finds a patient with an infected wound on his leg, he treats it with antibiotics. If the wound has acquired gangrene, it must be amputated. Unfortunately in the case of illegal immigration, we are in the gangrene stage. I only wish Cruz or Rubio had a similar plan to Trump's. That one stance alone could get him elected. Of course, we will then see if he has the strength to actually implement it.

and you would like to see.............................

Trump is wrong about most things he says. What I love about him is he is blowing the hell out of the establishment media and government cronies. With Rand Paul out of the race, let's get somebody who will blow out the establishment and work with him. We'll show him deals he will love.

It's like that saying you've probably heard countless times: "Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity."

If every 2 years Republicans vote for Republican candidates, and the vast, vast majority of them turn right around and side with the Democrats, why should we do it again?

No real Trump Supporter believes or claims that he's a conservative (and I am one). It's just that after 8 years, 4 election cycles, of getting stabbed in the back every damned time, we're not going to do it again.

As I said, "Both are dangerous." Hitler scratched a similar itch in Germany in 1933 and we all know how well that went.

The answer is pretty well explained in the third paragraph of the article. But they did leave out one thing.

7.) Anger at the Republican Party for betraying the voters that voted for them in the largest Republican victory in 150 years.
