Many "conservatives" (read Neo Cons) have their widdle, itty bitty fee-fees hurt this morning because of some Front Pages of Media Sites regarding Donald Trumps win last night in NH.
Huffington Post wrote about Donald's win last night: WTF? Racist Xenophobe wins NH
Those poor dears...
Here is the problem with how you are thinking about this election. If you ask anybody who is being the most honest. Who is telling the people exactly how he feels. Who just doesn't GAF about what other people think. Donald Trump is the answer for probably 90%+.
Trump is not my cup of tea, but his message is very populist, very appealing to the non-political, and many political insider, members of the voting public. He gets press, gets people out of their chairs to vote and says whatever he wants to say. While doing that, he hammers immigration policy, PC mind set and the illusion that everybody has a right to be treated exactly as they want to be treated. Oh yeah, he doesn't want to be a world leader, just POTUS. All in all, a pretty compelling campaign platform. So what if he talks in generalities about the Middle East, about the budget and about the current state of American politics.
He is popular because he doesn't care! People want to hears their elected officials tell them the truth and they not only believe that Trump does that, but if he is elected he will try to do what he says he will do. It is a powerful thing to have the ability to change the status quo, and people believe that The Donald is just the person to do that.
Racist Xenophobe? Talking to some friends about it and they believe that he is just "telling it like it is" and even scarier than that, they want him elected so he can do exactly what he promises he will do. The bright side of this is that maybe, just maybe, politicians will look at this election and fear the voting public once again.
