To understand why, see pieces below.
'Trump embodies the classic authoritarian leader'
'The political phenomenon we identify as right-wing populism seems to line up, with almost astonishing precision, with the research on how authoritarianism is both caused and expressed.' Vox link
'The reason that message works is because a lot of people are, in fact, White Supremacists in their hearts. They have been taught that expressing such views is socially unacceptable, and they genuinely do not want to think of themselves as "racists". But they do think that all those lazy Blacks / illegal Mexicans / terrorist Muslims are inferior, and being invited to believe that those "others" are also the reasons for their economic woes is very attractive, reinforcing their White Supremacist beliefs while allowing them to avoid the label "racist".' The Philosopher's Stone: A GUEST POST BY MY SON
"A lot of what I am seeing in the public's response to Trump -- in addition to the counterpoint between White Supremacy and economic populism -- is a response to a smart, highly charismatic sociopath. People resonate to Trump's outrageous behavior not primarily because they have a deep commitment to the misogyny or the racism that he exhibits (though that may well be true in many cases), but because they see him acting in a completely unrestrained fashion and getting away with it -- indeed, having people give him huge affirmation for doing so -- and seeing that spectacle touches on some of their deepest and most unacknowledged fantasies. People who resonate with Trump have daydreamed about being able to be as unrestrained and uninhibited as they see Trump being, but they never thought it was possible to do that and also be a successful adult. In Trump, they see that fantasy realized, and they want to make themselves a part of it." Tobias Barrington Wolff The Philosopher's Stone: A GUEST POST BY MY SON
'The other reason for this kind of error is based solely on the assumption that white people who have graduated from college are less racist, less anti-immigrant, less anti-feminist, less homophobic, and generally more tolerant of diversity than people who have not. As a college professor, I very much hope this assumption is valid, but I could find no solid evidence that it is. At least in political commentary, the question is never asked, and you have to wonder why not.' Misrepresenting the White Working Class: What the Narrating Class Gets Wrong
'MacWilliams studies authoritarianism — not actual dictators, but rather a psychological profile of individual voters that is characterized by a desire for order and a fear of outsiders. People who score high in authoritarianism, when they feel threatened, look for strong leaders who promise to take whatever action necessary to protect them from outsiders and prevent the changes they fear....
So MacWilliams naturally wondered if authoritarianism might correlate with support for Trump.' The rise of American authoritarianism
'Their book concluded that the GOP, by positioning itself as the party of traditional values and law and order, had unknowingly attracted what would turn out to be a vast and previously bipartisan population of Americans with authoritarian tendencies.
This trend had been accelerated in recent years by demographic and economic changes such as immigration, which "activated" authoritarian tendencies, leading many Americans to seek out a strongman leader who would preserve a status quo they feel is under threat and impose order on a world they perceive as increasingly alien.' above link

Yet another fucking idiot who can't grasp that PRIMARIES do not translate to GENERALS.
Come November, FL will go overwhelmingly blue if the Trump is the candidate.
Everyone who voted for Clinton today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Clinton today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Sanders today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Cruz today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Rubio today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Kasich today would vote for Clinton in November.
Everyone who voted for Kermit the Frog today would vote for Clinton in November.
And everyone who did not vote today but votes in November would vote for Clinton in November.

Doesn't mean much in terms of the general election. Republicans have been turning out at the polls in bigger numbers than Democrats in just about every state during these primaries. Florida was no different. Even better for Hillary, today's election in Florida excluded Independents, who break for Hillary over Trump in just about every poll.As of RIGHT NOW, he actually has 5,000 more votes total than the Hildebeast

no, you are the fucking idiot
this is an insurgency year
Hillary is an awful candidate, most people think she is a liar
Trump will pull traditional dem voters, this campaign will get ugly quick, and Trump knows how to play that game
IF the dems had brought in a decent candidate, they could probably win easily, as it stands, y'all are running the Hildebeast
like I said, if you really believe she is a shoo-in, you are the fucking idiot
