Ha, little fibs! Clinton's incompetence got people killed in Benghazi. That fact, coupled with her and Obama's bumbling in the middle East gave rise to Isis, which led to the Syrian refugee crisis.

That's all you need to know.

Awesome quote. That is a perfect example of the jumbled nonsense that often flows from this guys mouth. Like the OP stated, Trump's supporters seem to be so disillusioned or desperate that they don't need (or want) to really listen to the CONTENT of Trump's patter. It's all about genuflecting to their new Messiah, more like a cult or a religion than a political movement.

Trump is Trumps' Biggest FAN ! He has been self promoting himself for decades by putting his name all over products and buildings and golf courses. His ego knows no bounds and this could be why he is working so hard on becoming the President.

Hillary is such a mess of a candidate and she represents the old outdated politics. We all know she is a liar and corrupt.
We all know that the only thing she cares about is increasing her bank account.
I know many people who don't like her and are only voting for her because they hate Trump.

I like Trump because at the very least he will enforce existing laws. At the most he will promote America to greatness again that will have a trickle down to everyone and will of course feed his ego and bank account.

Trump is ingrained in America with his buildings and business and really cares about its success because a strong economy affects his bottom line whereas Hillary? Where and with whom does her interests lie?


In the end people will vote for Trump because he is not Hillary.

In sales it is called the Halo effect, it is why Toyota could tomorrow put a death trap on the road and not be called out on it for a year or 2 while GM would engender an immediate 300,000 car recall over a bad cup holder. Having a known track record is a bad thing this election, Clinton has the long venerable experience like GM and all the baggage that comes with it. Trump is like a new Tesla model specifically made for the middle class with a $15K price point, voters are willing to make all kinds of mental gymnastics to make the concept work in their minds, at least until there are 10-15 fatal Trumpmobile accidents. We already know about the Clinton fatal accidents.

His buildings and business (luxury hotels, 100,000 membership golf courses) don't cater to the majority of Americans, so he doesn't care whether everyday people are making it.

As long as he gives enough breaks to the wealthy and uber wealthy he does fine. He needs them to have enough disposable income that they'll spend it at his properties.

Those doing the housekeeping or servicing the private jets won't see any upswing to their daily life.

And it's easy to be a successful businessman when you stiff people for 30c on the dollar.

A lot of Democrats have left the party over this, I suspect those that left were the "higher educated Democrats" that the party keeps bragging about too!

So, let's put blame where blame belongs, on the Democratic party. Gee, Hillary is the best you have to offer means you all are finished!

And what does the fact you utterly fail to recognize a two-bit con-man is the best the Republican Party has to offer mean?

The problem with that tactic is that Trump is far more honest and less corrupt than Hillary. Will Trump be accused of murdering Vince Foster and Ron Brown next?

You my friend are a dreamer. America was built on dreams so I cannot entirely fault you. But to really and truly believe that Trump cares one iota about trickling anything down to the middle or lower classes in this country is a perfect example of just how good he is at peddling snake oil. Actually Trump craves power at least as much as wealth, and that's what makes him especially dangerous. If his motivation was strictly avarice I might tend to agree with you more.
