GOWMP Grand Old White Man Party. GOP, for short.
When they say they want "government off their backs" what they really mean is, "Get off my lawn! I paid good money for my Mexican to keep it nice!"
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

So why don't I like Donald Trump?andy58-in-nh/Andrew Kone The Briefing Room October 4, 2015 I'm a Tea Partier. I detest Obama and the Progressive hoard that has Washington, DC and large portions of America in a death grip. So why don't I like Donald Trump?
Honestly, sometimes I wonder what the hell is wrong with me these days. Why can't I get on the bandwagon along with so many others with whom I agree about most everything? ...
So what's the problem with Trump? In a nutshell: judgment, or rather a deficit of it, which in turn ought to make reasonable people otherwise inclined to agree with him to perhaps, think a bit harder about the consequences of their support for him in a precarious and dangerous world ...

Golem, I enjoyed reading that and the follow up posts.
Unlike most conservatives I know, these people at least seem aware that the GOP is in trouble.
And that Donald Trump is not the answer to their problems.
Most however will still vote for Trump should he get the nomination.
Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...

Thanks, Golem, for that interesting link. Since most of what the poster claimed was fantastic (as in, fantasy induced), I was surprised that he found Trump to be incredible. Since he seemed to be "wrong" in most of his affirmative claims, though,* I wonder what was supposed to be illuminating. Although, I will admit that I dislike Trump for all of the same reasons (and then some!).
* "Just to name a few: Marco Rubio, Carly Fiorina, and Ted Cruz have all taken detailed policy positions explaining what they believe, what they intend to do, and more to the point, when asked by the usually hostile media sources, have all been able to answer clearly and without hesitation. For proof, simply watch the last Republican debate." Wow, what prismatic lenses was he watching that debate through (as rose-colored glasses would be insufficient)? The complete lack of substance was the most salient reality of the debates.

And of course, there was the Fiorina pants on fire every time she opened her mouth. So, deaf and dumb while watching the debate also would have been helpful.

I am wavering a little now .... previously I supported the Trump as the pox America deserves but lately Dr Carson has been taking the reins and whipped the horses to new distances of stupidity
the difference is intentions .... one is unintentional and the other well you get it
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions
