Fed-up and angry supporters let Trump defy political gravity
http://news.yahoo.com/fed-angry-supp...election.html#
I can relate to some of this.
I'm fed up and pissed off too.
The only difference is I'm coming at it from the left.
I'm fed up and angry with the way Obama and the Democrats have caved in to the Republicans.
Quote:
By the standard that voters typically use to judge presidential candidates, Trump probably should not have survived his first day in the 2016 race.
Yet as the summer draws to a close and the initial votes in the nominating calendar appear on the horizon, Trump has established himself as the Republican front-runner.
Listen to these voters:
—"It's totally refreshing. He's not politically correct. He has a backbone and he cannot be bought," said Leigh Ann Crouse, 55, of Dubuque, Iowa.
—"This country needs a businessman just like him to put us back on track, to make us stop being the laughing stock of this world," said Ken Brand, 56, of Derry, New Hampshire.
—"He says everything that I would like to say, but I'm afraid to say. What comes out of his mouth is not what he thinks I want to hear," said Janet Boyden, 67, of Chester, Massachusetts.
They are among the dozens of voters interviewed in the past two weeks by The Associated Press to understand how Trump has defied the laws of political gravity.
Uniting them is a deep-rooted anger and frustration with the nation's political leaders — President Barack Obama and conservative Republicans who, these voters say, haven't sufficiently stood up to the Democratic administration.

Cool or not, better get used to it.

Donald Trump may have a good reason to smile this weekend.
A new poll by SurveyUSA shows the GOP frontrunner leads Democrat contender Hillary Clinton in a head-to-head matchup if the presidential election was held today.
Among the 1,000 adults polled, Trump won 45 percent to Clinton’s 40 percent with 16 percent of respondents “undecided.”
Trump also beats out Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders by 44 percent to 40 percent and Vice President Joe Biden by 44 percent to 42 percent.

To be honest I was a little disappointed with the way Bernie Sanders gave up the mike to that BLM protester.
There's a part of me that would like to have seen a big hulking Bernie Sanders security dude clock her one like Trump's did to his protester.

But Trump's slogan is completely new and it's something really terrific because it doesn't say "let's". See, if you say "let's", you're just sort of asking but, if you don't say "let's", you're telling.
"Make America Great Again...... or You're Fired!"

Let's is a contraction of 'let us.' Reagan was at least proposing a cooperative endeavor. Trump proposes that he is the agency of greatness. Our job is just to vote him in.

This idea that Trump is cool because he is not "politically correct" is disturbing. That is just an code for
"he is not afraid to say what I really feel about ______" (Fill in the blank). In other words he is not afraid to describe other groups in xenophobic terms (or allude to them in such language).
TJ your equivalency of Trump with Sanders is misguided to say the least and does not show you in a good light I am afraid.
