Donald Trump.

This might be my first post in the Tea House...I usually stay away....

A big part of Trump's appeal has to do with the Republican Party/establishment. They've tried to force terrible candidates on the voters for years now - McCain, Romney, Jeb and now Rubio. And these so-called "conservatives" get into office and do nothing to stem spending. Look at McConnell - fights the Obama budget then acquiesces once he got a billion dollar project for Kentucky. It's no wonder that the Tea Party splintered off a few years ago, and I think Trump is just an extension of that general movement.

Trump's appeal also has to do with the fact that he is going after the issues that cut across the political divide - illegal immigration, trade deficits, etc. And, he does it unapologetically and without all the PC crap.

It's interesting that everyone in the media and on both sides of the aisle are doing all they can to tear him down. Maybe in a different time they would have been successful, but voter frustration is so high that it's not working.

Unlike McCain and Romney who refused to attack Obama in an attempt to seem "presidential" and lost big time as a result, Trump, unlike the other candidates, will be no holds barred against Hillary. Maybe Cruz would take a similar approach, but Rubio is a political hack who was exposed for being a robotic talking point.
 
Rank and file Republicans finally figured out that tax cuts for the rich and exporting jobs is not in the best interests of regular working people. Finally realized trickle down economics is a fraud that only benefits rich and powerful. Unfortunately the only choice was to turn to a lunatic.
 
Honestly, if you can't see the parallels between the 25 Point Programme of the Nazi Party and Trump's views...then you're simply on denial.

And honestly, I still have not been able to comprehend why being politically correct or not has become a voting point. But it's one of his biggest points. We support him because he isn't PC...even though he said Putin is a great leader and does not condemn the support of the KKK.

Typical attack on Republicans to liken them to Nazis. People said the same thing about Reagan and he ended up being one of our country's best presidents. Also, Trump has said dozens of times now that he does not condone the KKK, but the media and left wing loonies refuse to acknowledge that.

I'm in denial then. Here are the first five demands from the 25 point program. Which ones are you hearing come out of Trump's mouth?

11. That all unearned income, and all income that does not arise from work, be abolished.

12. Since every war imposes on the people fearful sacrifices in blood and treasure, all personal profit arising from the war must be regarded as treason to the people. We therefore demand the total confiscation of all war profits.

13. We demand the nationalization of all trusts.

14. We demand profit-sharing in large industries.

15. We demand a generous increase in old-age pensions.

Also:

23. We demand that there be a legal campaign against those who propagate deliberate political lies and disseminate them through the press....

LOL at that one.

Not only does it still exist, but not just in the south. It's mostly marginal kooks now, but yeah, they are still out there. A small group of them did a march last weekend about 2 miles down Harbor Blvd. from Disneyland and got their butts kicked by counter-protesters. My initial reaction was like yours. "Is the KKK still a thing?"

Where I live they call themselves the Michigan Militia. In the prisons they call themselves the White Brotherhood. Or the Aryan Nation. I don't know what other states chapters are called but they are there.
I myself believe in none of that. I'm about the whitest guy you could meet. Had blonde hair. Have blue eyes. Nordic descent. Poster child for a Neo Nazi group. I don't hate anyone because of skin color. Brown,red,yellow or white. We're all the same.
But I sometimes really dislike guys with full heads of hair.
 
Trump as president is a very scary concept for me. I think he would piss off half of the world's leaders in the first month and possibly start WW3.

We still like you, big guy!
 
There is no difference between a hateful America.
And a hateful America with Trump in the Whitehouse.

This country is based on, and thrives with hate.

Police Firearms are the new Noose.

The only thing that's changed is the name you call a minority before you kill them!

I'm for stirring things up.....why not Trump?

Sorce

I heard on the news last week that they are trying to adopt a highway, somewhere in the south, possibly Georgia.

I'll find the article and post it. I swear it wasn't in the onion.

Electing Trump would be like hiring the painter to wire your house because he says he has some great ideas and you don't like the electricians. What could go wrong with that?

After seeing the wiring jobs the 'professionals' have done over the last decade I'm willing to let the painter have a go....
