tea party see Rand Paul, Ron Paul, Ted Cruz, limited small government.

Trump has nothing to do with Taxed Enough Already, I believe he wants bigger government.

Trump fans are just voting for Trump because they because he will DO something. What he will do they don't care until it impacts them but for now its the jobs, make America great again, I will bring jobs back here, end china's hold on US market of all GOODS, and make deals. They see problems and believe Trump is the solution to results. Also they believe in their minds when congress doesn't DO anything "conservative" (this word conservative is a loose term to trump supporters) and or tackle any issue they expect him to tell them they are FIRED. Now will they show up to vote we will have to see. IOWA and NH are strange with rules and the caucus voting.

Iowa caucus is a different animal, though.

While Mr. Trump's supporters mainly occupy the demographic that typically don't vote, but I think they are going to surprise people in 2016. They seem very committed (or at least talk a good game), and may even turn out to vote for the very first time. That kind of motivated turnout can spell trouble for both Republicans and Democrats.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Trump lose both Iowa and NH. Super Tuesday will be more important to Trump.

If not, then don't assume that Whites (and others) are rallying around Trump because of racism.
It's only true because the vast majority of Americans and Democrats are white. Non-white people are supporting Bernie in proportion to their representation in America in general. Bernie has far greater minority support than any Republican so your statement doesn't make sense. Bernie also never called Mexicans "rapists" or egged on a crowd of his supporters viciously beating a black man. Trump is running an explicitly bigoted campaign to appeal to ignorant white supremacists who dislike anything white and non-Christian, I have no idea why you need to pretend otherwise.

Viciously beating a black man???? Hahaaaa, good one. I heard the same BS and couldn't wait to see the video, and once I did I was like huh? The guy barely got touched and was escorted out for being an idiot. Stop your nonsense.

Trump said that what those black lives girls did to Sanders on stage would never happen to him, and it won't. To watch Sanders cower and give up his mic, then exit the stage at his own rally tells me a lot about him. He is soft and that's exactly how he would run this country, no thank you. We don't have time for this politically correct garbage...

Oh brother. They keep grasping at anti-Trump straws don't they? The article is about Iowa caucuses yet they give it the misleading headline about voting, implying that people at Trump rallies all across America may not vote for him in the primaries or the general. This is why Iowa is not a bellwether and is given entirely too much importance. The caucus process is a different animal than a primary election. A bunch of people stand in a room and argue for their candidate, trying to persuade others to their side. It takes a special kind of person to do that and I'm glad almost no other state does it this way. At this point I believe Cruz will win Iowa and only Iowa. Then Trump will run the table.

So if a couple people say it or do it then that speaks for most of Trumps base. What an absurd article. Tabloid nonsense.

During the Bush presidency, Tea Party loons were shouting up and down that anyone who opposed the Iraq war hated the troops and hated America but now that Fuhrer Donald tells them not to support it anymore, they march lockstep and change what was once their most deeply held conviction. Same thing with free trade, the T-Party called anyone who opposed NAFTA and CAFTA "communists" but now want protectionism. That very much shows that Trump's supporters are malleable sheep who will believe anything a charismatic person will tell them, they're the types who would've fallen in love with Hitler in the 30's.
Your post is absurd. The Tea Party didn't start until late 2007, long after the Iraq invasion.
NAFTA and CAFTA were also years before the Tea Party.
This very much shows that some loony Trump's detractors are malleable sheep who will believe anything an uninformed person will tell them, they're the types who would've fallen in love with Obama.

Gee. Yet another opinion piece from Jenna Johnson at the WaPo where she tells us why Trump won't make it.

Imagine that. LOL.
