Republican voters are better educated, wealthier, and much whiter than their Democratic counterparts. I always get the hiccups whenever I read that they are better educated. I have real problems trying to swallow the concept of people who believe in crap like [size:17pt][color:#FF0000]this[/color][/size] being better educated. Not because it pisses me off, but because it defies logic. They want to create an entirely NEW class of undocumented people while extolling the virtues of deporting the ones we already have! And, these new ones won't have ANY country at all! To say nothing of the single moms who got knocked up due to rape. This must be a brand new PRO LIFE idea!  But they're better educated? Naaah, no way. They went to better schools, they boinked wealthier cheerleaders, they drank at better frat parties, they cheated on better exams, they bribed better university regents, but they are not better educated than their liberal counterparts. The reason why Trump is ahead is because he says he will deport the illegal aliens. In truth, it is a brilliant campaign platform. It has an extremely wide support base, it crosses party lines and the premise for the promise is based on the fact that the country actually is being invaded by other country's problems. I am not a supporter of immigration unless it fills a need. Neither is most of America. There are single issue voters who will vote for Trump for just this reason. People are afraid of Trump.

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox to Trump: We're "Not Paying For That F***ing Wall"
By Tim Hains
Posted on February 25, 2016
In an interview Thursday with Jorge Ramos on Fusion, former Mexican president Vicente Fox responds to Donald Trump's plan to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexican border.
"I’m not going to pay for that [censored] wall! He should pay for it. He’s got the money," Fox said.... To say that I am eating this sh*t up would be an understatement. I just hope that Trump's campaign makes a difference in American politics long term. Short term it is the most entertaining campaign since before I was born and news traveled by wire. Tim

Republican voters are better educated, wealthier, and much whiter than their Democratic counterparts. Pew Research Center finding doesn't agree. If you average men and women, the more educated side is Democrat. ...and, Forbes magazine just comes right out and says Repbublicans are stupid.  Business Insider? Proof: Republicans Really Are Dumber Than Democrats

Tim  Un%$%^believeable I think it will change American politics long term - it will kill the Republican Party once and for all. Not hard, really, because it is already on life support.

It would actually be kind of fun to see how hard he fails, if Trump won the Presidency. Would he be impeached in the first year? Would somebody assassinate him? Would Big Business or Governemnt assassinate him?
It might finally kill off the "run the government like a business" meme.
Of course, that may be expecting too much. There are still people who swear by supply-side economics even though we are WAY beyond the inflection point on the Laffer Curve.

Do all Conservatives believe that big lies are what make for brilliant campaign platforms? Yes. Modern politics are built on the ashes of the truth. It has gotten to the point where we accept lies from politicians. Remember, Benghazi was the result of an anti-Islam film? WMD in Iraq (although I still think that they are there)? The definition of is? Donald Trump is telling people not only what they want to hear, but what he actually thinks. He is not a politician, he is not a moron. He is a guy who, right now, is the surrogate for millions of people's anger. I was at a local fundraiser last evening. It was fairly large, Gov. Baker was supposed to be there. The anger at the established political conventions was the main topic of conversation. I was amazed how many staunch Massachusetts Republicans were supporting Trump. Trump lies less than Hillary or Bernie has been. The fact he is not a politician allows him to say and do whatever he wants, and I am excited every time he gives a speech. Not because he what I am looking for, but because he is so much fun to listen to. So, to answer your question, the big lies are coming from everybody else, Trump is just flying by the seat of his pants. Nothing sticks to him, nothing seems to interrupt his momentum and he is a cross party candidate. If he can keep motivating the public, telling them what they want to hear, what he actually probably believes, he stands a chance. Every time Hillary opens her mouth, she hurts her cause. Can she actually be trusted to tell the truth? Bernie Sanders is just nuts! Even if he got elected how would he get single payer approved? Free public college? New taxes on Wall Street? Those are the big lies, he knows it and so do you. BTW, in Nevada Trump took 45% of the Hispanic vote. Vicente Foxx is apoplectic and China is terrified. All in all, get me some popcorn, a nice cold Coke and a TV. This campaign has been great so far. Tim

Let's not forget: Hillary stood by while a guy who was exercizing his right of free speech was thrown in jail for instigating the Benghazi attacks. Hillary also told the families that it was the fault of the movie. Health care costs will go down. You can keep your own doctor and healthcare plan.
