And another thing. When Trump adds the phrase “to be honest with you”, what does it imply when he DOESN’T add that phrase?

And that delusion is going to serve him as POTUS?

My kitchen faucet started leaking the day after Trump shot up in the polls. I’m pretty sure it’s his fault.

Sometimes I wonder if this weird, obsessive boasting he always does will end up bothering Mr. and Mrs. GOP Base Voter a good bit more than the casual simplistic racism. The second one is part of their culture—they’re not big diversity-celebrators—but chest-thumping and loudly proclaiming how awesome you are isn’t. I don’t think it’ll make his current fans abandon him, not at all, but it may be a limiting factor with the rest. Just wondering.

Thing is, your satire is exactly the thing that is happening. Republicans start gathering around Trump like lemmings to a cliff because…he is winning. Doesn’t matter what his policies are, or how crazy is he…if he is winning, they get on board.
In the GOP, that takes on a life of its own.

You’re either kidding or haven’t been observing the GOP for the past 2 or 3 decades. Gloating is a trait they highly value. Go back and look at some of the post election footage of W. Read some of the interviews from 2014. Did you ever talk to a GOPer after they win an election?
I would go so far as to say, that gloating is the major reason that they love to flock to a winner, regardless of any policy positions he might hold. They don’t care about agendas, they just want to be on the winning side so they can gloat.

Trump may have a factual point here. There is also historical precedent here.
In the 2012 election cycle, Mitt Romney’s campaign was in a downward spiral. He had lost Iowa to Rick Santorum and South Carolina to Newt Gingrich. Mitt and Ann Romney traveled and met with Donald Trump in his Las Vegas hotel room. After that, Donald Trump came out and endorsed Mitt Romney. Romney’s campaign recovered miraculously from its slump after that.
A humbled, abashed Reince Priebus appeared on CBS earlier buoyed by silly, off point anchor questions and more Hillary eyebrow arching that bucked his flailing spirits…
In the meantime, chew on this one
Quote of the Day

“I am not a Republican. I consider myself a classical liberal… I like a lot of the Republican rhetoric better than the Democrats’. But when they’re in office, it’s pretty much the same thing. It’s serving their supporters, it’s corporate welfare, it’s cronyism which is so destructive, particularly to the disadvantaged.”
— Billionaire Charles Koch, in an interview with Washington Post.

Well, that’s a bit harsh, I think. 
I know what you mean about the gloating, the vituperation, the demonizing, all that. But I’ll stubbornly maintain there’s a part of Middle American culture that discourages people from going around bragging about how great they are. If you want to brag you have to humblebrag and so forth, talk about the values your momma and poppa taught, that kind of thing. You let others gloat and brag on your behalf, then go up to the dais all folksy and humbled by the outpouring and can we have everybody stand up because all of you are the real heroes blah blah blah. I just don’t think talking like Trump, who’s culturally alien and psychologically warped, is something they’re all going to like much.

Trump says, “I was surprised to be honest with you.” I to would be surprised if he were to be honest.

I don’t recall a whole lot of that humblebragging occurring when Romney was running for President. Or McCain. And definitely not with W. There was always a streak of meanness just beneath the surface of Reagan’s faux folksy persona and statements, and Nixon would not be my poster child for humble, either.
I suppose we could go all the way back to Eisenhower, but then, the GOP wouldn’t have him in their party today, and disavows much of what he said and did.
