He wants to make people think everything is negative and that he is the solution, though he has no solutions. Then later, I suppose, he will just tell people how great everything is, and probably the Trumpettes would believe him just like they believe him now when he says the sky is falling.

He has the ability to evoke emotions from his followers just by repeatedly saying the same things. If he says things are terrible, they believe it; if he says things are great, they believe it. 100% con man.

There will be a lot of books written about Trump in the future...about his masterful skills in conning a large number of people.
Fear is a powerful motivator, Hillary is using it to her advantage too, the test this November, is to see which candidate has succeeded in scaring their base and the middle most effectively. We are in the age of ambiguous politics.

Yes for sure .
Hillary Clinton has been using the language of fear as well.
" Donald Trump will send the country into recession " etc

Clinton: Donald Trump would send U.S. economy into recession - The Portland Press Herald / Maine Sunday Telegram
It seems likely a recession will happen within 4 years no matter who is President .

Trump uses fear to his advantage as well .

IMHO- I think it's more likely that Trump brings out voters who fear him, his message that we're in dire straights isn't going to scare the more pragmatic independent voter to choose him. He is only guaranteed the WASP vote, without pulling minorities and women into your corner, there's little chance of him winning an election. Good or bad, Hillary wins by default.

Samolia? Seriously? I was in the service then.... your comments are way off base.
No, The Clinton's are famous for not protecting our fighting men. Samolia is a typical example.

I think with the police killings at the top of many people's minds, Trump's clear anti-BLM stance could gain him a lot of points.
I think a lot of people are realizing that BLM is doing more harm than good.

Clinton on the other hand is pro BLM. I think that Clinton thinks she can win points with liberals by being pro BLM..but I think that many liberal or Democrats are finding out what BLM really stands for and are getting sick of it.
There are just so many angry/scared white men to go around. Spreading stupid rumors about BLM isn't going to win Drumpf the election.

I wonder how entertaining the debates are going to be...especially when Donnie has to explain his memes.

I'm the other way around. I supported them a first until I educated myself on the group and became more familiar with their doctrine. Now that I understand them better, I do not support them.

I think a lot are probably the same way. It's just so politically incorrect to publicly critisize BLM right now that not many will do it for fear of being labelled , 'racist'.

They are now calling for an agenda beyond the original message. Reparations, strong criticizing of Israel and even defunding police departments.

These are not things that majority of U.S can support.

They've also done some pretty blatant racist things, like holding blacks only meetings at public libraries..then claming 'racism' when they were called on it...also at the DNC outside they were segregating crowd based on race and whites were told to "go to the back".

Smart move. The NAACP does not even support them. Most Americans Hate them. They are our "ISIL" at home. My favorite videos are of car running over them, when they are trying to block streets. Trumps message resonates, regardless of what his Haters say. They haven't bee right about him on anything from his first day announcing he was going to run.
