GOP Master thread

[aygart]

Trump can and will insult and demean many world leaders, countries and nations which can bring us to the brink of WW3.

Naaaaaaa you have been influenced by the Dems.

I couldn't care too much about legislation, and the supreme Court is a lost cause anyway. - at the end of the day they follow the popular sentiment, and this entire country is leaning all the way left. eg - Target bathrooms etc.

If your primary concern is those type of things then you are a Trump voter and just don't know it.

Over this week a came up with the first semi-rational reason I was able to think of for why someone would vote for Trump. It has nothing to do with the establishment or anything of the sort. This country is being overrun by a cancer call political correctness. The PC police make people scared to say anything because it may offend someone. We have seen people destroyed simply due to a political opinion that some groups called discriminatory. People feel that Trump is the chemotherapy for this cancer. He may end up being a horrible president, but no one ever saidchemo is pleasant. His bad p[olicies can be reversed by future presidents but if we lost our freedom of expression we lost our country.

ETA: I personally would probably support Cruz, but I finally came up with some reason why someone would vote for Trump.

So you pick the one poll out of twenty that he is ahead in? How does that Kool-Aid taste?

In all likelihood this will be the biggest electoral landslide since the 80s and the biggest D landslide since 1964. Trump doesn't have a shot, Clinton will draw from Ds, Is, and Rs.

I'm going to go on record disagreeing with you strongly on that 

Clinton may win (even probably), but it won't be a landslide.

Peggy Noonan writes the following:

His rise is not due to his supporters' anger at government. It is a gesture of contempt for government, for the men and women in Congress, the White House, the agencies. It is precisely because people have lost their awe for the presidency that they imagine Mr. Trump as a viable president. American political establishment, take note: In the past 20 years you have turned America into a nation a third of whose people would make Donald Trump their president. Look on your wonders and despair.

He convinced the whole America already that he's mentally ill. I guess he has nothing else to prove. 

[aygart]

An interesting take:

Mere anarchy is a fair description of the state of the Republican Party, at least amongst those who purport to be its falconers. Mimicking the vulgarity they decry in Trump, they employ every vile epithet to describe him and his followers. National Review’s Rich Lowry enthusedthat Carly Fiorina had “cut his balls off.” For Lowry’s colleague Kevin Williamson, Trump is a “witless ape … notjust an ass, but an ass of exceptionally intense asininity.” As for Trump’s followers, George Will calls them “invertebrates,” while John Hood describes them as “a motley crew of simpletons, bigots, and cynical manipulators.” In their hatred of Trump, they have come to resemble the man they despise.

As well as an interesting take on Trumpism in general.
