Are Trump supporters more delusional than the average republicans?

[Billy000]

Aside from the fact that crime among illegal Mexican immigrants is statistically low, are these Trump supporters so naive to think that this clown would take the White House? There is no way in hell this clown will be voted in by independents or democrats which is why I am currently rooting Trump on because I know his knuckle-dragging ranting is going to torpedo the upcoming Republican debate and inevitably give Hillary a boost in the polls.

Is it really so hard to look at this issue objectively?

Faith is a powerful thing. You give a man faith and there is no telling what that man can do. Trump represents faith in self and faith in America. Faith and men built Hoover dam and the Panama Canal or the Alaskan pipeline. A little bit of tech and a whole lot of sweat. But it won the day and one only has to go see those projects to PROVE it.

I have faith that within a month or two, the RNC will tell you to quit following Trump, and you will claim you never really liked him anyway.

I have the first book he wrote and use it often.
I also have followed or read books by..
Ted Turner
Barry Goldwater
Ronald Reagan
Howard Hughes {written by his assistant Noah}
Ed Koch

And a few others. Money is interesting, very interesting.

Good for you. Did you ever get someone to read any of those books to you?

Really, criminality among illegal mexicans and all other illegals for that matter is 100%, I wouldn't call that statistically low.

I think the RNC hates trump already. I don't think the RNC is telling anyone to follow trump, anymore then they told folks to follow Ron Paul. I am sure they would love for him to run as an independent. If you look where he stands on the issues, he definitely doesn't follow party line, on hardly anything.

More delusional? That is quite a hurdle to clear. But it seems as though the trump supporters are getting there. It reminds me of the weeks before the 2012 election with the "unskewed polls" folks who swore that it was going to be a Romney Landslide. TheGreatGatsby 007 Jackson Listening to name a few.

Wow! You read books! Man..... I wish I had a 214 too!

 

[LoneLaugher]

By the way.....214 has real faith in Donald Trump.

I think the support for Trump comes largely b/c Obama was elected. A lot of folks believe, if Obama can get elected, well hell, anyone can get elected.

I don't think I have ever met anyone quite so delusional as an Obama supporter.

Truth.

I heard a bit of Hannity yesterday, and he was talking about how Trump's position on abortion has "evolved". He was very tolerant, understanding and appreciative of Trump's sincere and thoughtful evolution on that issue. Of course, had a Democrat candidate's "evolution" gone in the opposite direction, he would have been all over it as a dishonest "flip flop", and I couldn't help but wonder if that obvious thought had occurred to either Hannity or his fans. At any point. Even for a moment.

Hardcore partisan ideologues can talk themselves into pretty much anything within ten miles of reason, and I mean that literally. This inexplicable devotion to Trump, requiring some pretty impressive intellectual gymnastics, is just the latest example.

It seems pretty inevitable to me that at some point this guy is going to fizzle out or implode or explode, most likely in pretty spectacular fashion. The reaction of his devotees will be yet another fascinating psychological / sociological / anthropological study of hardcore partisan ideology.

Political "side" irrelevant. They're so delightfully similar in that way.

Of course. You can find DOZENS of clear examples of liberals here supporting train wreck candidates like Trump. Political side irrelevant!

 

[LoneLaugher]

In case you didn't realize it, nutters........Mac just called all. Trump supporters imbeciles. But...he'd never insult you like that. He's above that.

Naw. . . I don't think that will happen at all. I think Bush will just over shadow him. Eventually, Trump will just lend his, "Brand," to Bush, and thus, his supporters. I don't think there is a lot of enthusiasm for Bush, so it is now Trump's job to BUILD that enthusiasm. It's the long con. Bush can't build that enthusiasm, Trump has a brand, and can whip up the base like Bush hasn't been able to do.

Remember why Romney lost? I don't think they want to go through that again. Maybe by using this tactic, the RNC hopes to have a, excuse the pun, a Trump card?

Good points. I do think Bush is essentially "inevitable" -- as much as anything can be inevitable in politics. But he and Trump are so freaking different that I'd wonder how many Trump supporters would not vote out of frustration. Plus I wonder how much damage will be done to Bush by them in the meantime. At that the same time, maybe Bush will look more presidential and dignified by comparison. Holy crap. I'm definitely lousy and predicting that stuff.

The fascinating part to me will/would be how smoothly the Trump supporters will be able to dance over to Bush's corner. Those who actually do, anyway...

So, you're saying our open borders allow only a small chance of being murdered. Acceptable risk I see.

I'm over that rigged election, dude. Don't know why you keep tagging me on it.

Their politics have all the constructive attitude of an internet troll. I'll never understand why they think someone who pisses off sensible people would actually make a decent president.
