Please watch this video. Lawrence O'Donnell, who I normally find to be the smuggest Liberal there ever was and simply cannot stand, delivers an absolutely outstanding analysis of the situation and of how we got to where we are in our politics as a nation....

People are not voting for Trump because they like him.

People are voting for Trump because they hate your government and they hate the way this country has been going for the past 8 years(possibly more).

They're not voting for the Trump. They're giving the current people in power the finger.

The video is long and does not present anything that is particularly enlightening or original. But yes, I agree. Trump exists because a large segment of the electorate is mind bogglingly stupid. Trump knows this and exploits it. He doesn't overestimate them like all of the other candidates do. Fortunately, most of these voters are concentrated in the GOP. Trump may be able to get the numbers to win the nomination, but he'll get slaughtered in the general election.

He leads with the Hitler comparison and never says anything new or different and doesn't even say the BS with new and better prose. He is so far out of touch with what is happening today he might as well be on the moon. Just another lunatic wanting attention.

It's not about Trump and never has been. Both parties have been leading us down the road of globalist ruin. The open border one world government where fantasy becomes reality and those in power rule in a kind and humanitarian way that will be best for all. Never has anyone ever ruled in that way and put the good of those ruled above there own interest and power. It will be backed by force and there will be nowhere you can go to escape it.

I find it funny that those who will no longer vote for the failed status quo are labelled as the stupid ones.

How is the status quo failed in your estimation?

19 trillion (and rising) in debt. The poor and middle class struggling while the top few thrive. The endless wasteful, worthless wars. A justice system that looks the other way for some while prosecuting others for petty crimes.

How many do you need? I can list more.

That is exactly why I support Trump. Exactly. And to clarify, because it's been much longer than 8 years that this country has been going the wrong way.

Trump's choice of the GOP brands him a member of that status quo, if he wanted to state otherwise he should have run as an (I).

How Did Trumpism Happen?

Doesn't it fit right in with a nation where many believe the daily activities of the Kardashians are relevant?
