They have been trained well. Not educated. We don’t like education. It causes people to empathize with other people which is dangerous. Trained to fear and hate. We can use that.
Edward Frederick Ezell ¡ Stevens Institute of Technology

Probably not the best place to put this quote but I felt like it points out a major difference between the Democratic and Republican strategies and why Trump has pushed the republican strategy to the next level and is doing so well with the typical republican voter.

Saw this in a comment on a Huffpost story about some folks confusing a sign posted along a road side as being an Arabic terror message. It was actually a welcome home sign written in Hebrew. Anyway I thought it aligned to why so many republican voters like Trump. He’s saying the things that they have been trained to believe.

Okay, I’ll have to admit that I was reaaalllly skeptical in the beginning, but I am now fully convinced that Donald Trump is a plant by the Democrats to destroy the Republican party. Nothing else makes sense.

[***Trump: ‘Everyone Likes Me’***]

I haven’t seen such a delusional brainfart since O.J. remarked after the murders, the trial and found ‘not guilty’ that he was still “…one of the most loved and respected men in America.”

I keep expecting to see a Kardashian to walk out on stage any minute and fix his tie … this whole GOP primary just doesn’t seem real. This isn’t politics anymore it’s a reality show over on that side of the isle. I can’t imagine being a Republican in this day and age, it must be so frustrating for the few serious ones left, still trying to find a shred of dignity in that party.

I gasp at the notion that someone could be this delusional…his followers …those that rhapsodize about his “speaking the truth” remind me of the folks at Jonestown or the disciples of Tee and Doe…committed to the wrong ideals and behavior.

The malignancies have been exposed and in typical GOP fashion, what intellect that remains is used to justify the excesses of the party rather than admitting the condition and taking advantage of treatment –

There’s no cure for this shit –

Yes, Curt Shilling (and his extensive collection of Nazi and SS memorabilia) loved the Donald.

If nothing else, Trump is exposing the ignorance and bigotry that is the under belly of today’s United States. An under belly that Obama has shied away from acting against - Obama’s words ring hollow time and again. His actions have been weak.

Bernie Sanders will act…and he knows how to get things done. The Donald - he knows how to quack and how to play the bankruptcy game.

The longer this show runs, the likelier it is that Trump runs as an independent in the general. Are we all missing something? How is this anything but great news for the Democrats?

Many in the GOP have been courting white supremacists for YEARS and all of a sudden there’s Trump and they immediately flock to him. The jealousy it is strong amongst the other 16.

Look, it’s time to face facts. The average Republican is stupid enough to possibly support Trump, and he could win the Republican nomination.

As a result, all liberals, progressives, Democrats, women, Latinos, Asians, LGBT’s, and independents should now begin to recognize that they should stop fucking around and begin strongly supporting Clinton!

Is she my first choice? No, I rather see a Sanders/Warren ticket. But we need to throw the petty shit out, and recognize that this is an opportunity to possibly marginalize the Republican Party forever.

This is now the last game of the World Series. The playoffs are over, there are no more wild cards, and this is it.

The only goal of any reasonable US citizen should be that the government ends up pointed forward and not backward.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump responded to reports that his message is resonating with white supremacists during a Wednesday night interview on Bloomberg’s “With All Due Respect,” saying, “Everyone likes me.”

That’s right Donnie everybody likes you, that’s why if the Republican establishment steals the nomination from you you should totally run as a third party candidate. It’ll be yeoug.
