http://townhall.com/columnists/johnhawkins/2016/03/12/what-i-will-probably-never-understand-about-the-undying-affection-for-donald-trump-n2132559/page/full

It’s easy for me to understand why people were so favorably disposed toward Trump at first because initially, I liked him, too. I’d read and liked Trump’s books, I found him to be gracious in person and I had friends who went to work for him. I also loved his charisma, his stance on the wall, his refreshing lack of political correctness, his scrappiness and his ability to just shrug off what would be career-ending mistakes for other Republican politicians.

Unfortunately today, Trump looks to be completely unelectable. There are massive numbers of Republicans pledging not to vote for him in the general election; sitting members of congress are saying they won’t support him in the general; Mitch McConnell is openly telling Republican senators they can distance themselves from him. Trump’s been publicly condemned by the last GOP nominee (Romney); his unfavorability numbers are equaling those of Bill “the face of date rape” Cosby (Cosby, July of last year, 62% unfavorability while Trump’s rating is 62% now). He’ll be dramatically outspent in a general election and contrary to what he’s promised, he’s not going to finance his own campaign. He will have to deal with a massive Trump University fraud case during the general election; he’s the most gaffe-prone candidate in history and the mainstream media that has been carrying him on its shoulders will turn on him once he’s the nominee.
View Quote


Yet, there are many smart people who know something about campaigns that think Trump can win the general election. Not a one of them has ever made a rational, logical case for it, but “they have a feeling.” Barring a miracle, the second Trump is the nominee, almost no matter what he does, Hillary wins; we lose the Senate big and bleed House seats; the SCOTUS swings wildly to the left; Obamacare and Obama’s executive orders stay, but this doesn’t bother people because “Trump changes all the rules”….or something.
View Quote


However, I genuinely don’t understand why so many people think a man who is unpredictable, thin-skinned, mean spirted, vindictive and who often blurts out stupid things is the sort of person who is suited to be President of the United States. The same traits that have made Trump a success on reality TV would make him a horrible POTUS. Even if you ignore the fact that Trump is temperamentally unsuited to be President of the United States, he’s also saying creepy, fascistic things that should alarm people.

I don’t understand how so many good Christians can support an adulterer who claims to also be a Christian, but also says he’s never had a reason to ask God for forgiveness.

I don’t understand how so many rock-ribbed conservatives can support an obvious flimflam man whose positions seem to change almost day-by-day and will undeniably change even more if he’s nominated.

I don’t understand how so many parents can support a man who’s a horrible example for their children. Yes, Trump’s had a great business career, but his character is at the bottom of the barrel. He’s crude and arrogant and he treats other people like garbage.

I don’t understand how so many people who say they only care about illegal immigration can support a guy who was pushing amnesty three years ago and is in favor of citizenship for illegal aliens now when a stronger candidate on illegal immigration, Ted Cruz, is in the race.

I don’t understand how so many people who care about the Constitution can support a man who’s probably never even read it and wouldn’t care about anything in it if he did.
View Quote



I don’t understand how so many smart people can back a guy who’s too lazy to study anything beyond the basics of any policy issue. Donald Trump doesn’t seem to know any more about the policies of the country he’d be running today than he did the day he got into the race. Trump knows the results of every poll in America that are favorable to him; so why can’t he take the time to learn something about the government policies of the nation he wants to lead?

Most of all, I don’t understand how so many good people can support a hateful, fundamentally dishonest, divisive man who’s turned friends and allies in the conservative movement against each other and who has shown over and over that he doesn’t care about anything but himself.

False dichotomy. It's not a binary choice. It's not either/or, and never was. Portraying it that way is intellectually dishonest. You had a field of 18(!) candidates at one point, many of which were anti-establishment. Even now you still have an anti-establishment alternative to Trump.

I didn't mean it like that. I'm saying that even with the Trump supporters out of the argument, the other half of voters are supporting Hillary Clinton. It's a sad statement of affairs no matter how you look at it.

I agree with this, however I think Cruz is pretty anti-establishment without all the "wild card" effect. He is pretty solid where he stands on things in my opinion.
I just hate the idea of basically flipping a coin on crucial policy and I kind of feel like thats what Trump brings. that make sense?

exactly. It just depends on who is really in his ear so to speak. I mean if he praised Bill Whittle at a rally or something I would feel slightly more comfortable.

This. When Black Lives Matter had their stunt Friday night, it moved a lot of active police officers into the Trump camp.  Think of it as giving them the metaphoric hickory shampoo in the ballot box.

Its true.  If you like your establishment Republican, you can keep your establishment Republican (and lose in the general).

Trump isn't the perfect answer but he's enough to get crossover votes and defeat a socialist.

If your party doesn't control the Presidency and Congress, there are limits on what you can do.  Probably need SCOTUS too in many cases.  Unless the GOP holds onto the Senate, electing Trump won't change the math.  I don't really get blaming politicians for not doing things that they cannot do.

Well thats all up for debate really. Im just going by his record on being pro gun, anti-illegal immigration, pro-constitution etc. I can look at how he defended those things and know what he is likely to do in the future. He isnt dating my daughter or something, he just has to defend the constitution and protect this country, does his record show he can do that? I think so.

This is, actually, a good explanation.

It also shows how and why support for Trump is, in fact, a problem for the United States.  The driving force behind the description above is emotion.  It is not rational; it is not an attempt to elect someone who would actually garner respect as a statesman.  It is a giant temper tantrum that a reality TV star has tapped into for political support.

Because righteous anger feels really, really good, even if you aren't quite clear on what you are angry about. Who cares about anything else? This feels good.

Not unlike junkies with heroin. There is a big rush of dopamine.

See GD for the proof of that.
