They quickly become fervent believers of whatever men tell them, no matter how illogical. History tells us how easy it is for American men to persuade women to help burn other women at the stake.

The well-trained American woman.

Because, when it gets right down to it, they need a d***ing every now and then. So they go along with it, for the security a man provides.

Interesting. Yet, all I see in the news are HRC supporters stealing signs, blocking rally's, some becoming violent, etc....

The guy gets 3-4 hours of sleep a night, puts on his cape and draws an S on his chest. Then runs back and forth across the nation making 3-4-5 stops and speaking for an hour or more, with a stop in the middle to open his new Hotel. Damn, I'm exhausted just thinking about it and the guy has 20 years on me and I'm in pretty damn good shape. The guy is super-natural!

And this is why we needed a Trump at this moment. The more orthodox Republican politicians can NEVER withstand the cold,hard realities of American politics, 2016. Sad but true. (Even President George W. Bush got fewer votes than his opponent in 2000, and had we not been in two wars which were going fairly well at the time of the 2004 election, he probably would have lost that one). In the last 75 years, Reagan is the only one who could actually "triumph" over the Establishment, the media, the Dems, etc. (If you consider that Ike was an apolitical war hero then you can actually go back to 1928 as the last time that the "political lay of the land" was at least somewhat favorable to a Republican nominee). Nixon and Bush Sr. succeeded briefly, but in the end, they went DOWN IN FLAMES.
This fact is about Trump is huge. Many of us recognized that Trump has major downsides, but also several huge upsides. And this is one of them. Attacks against him seem to have a reverse effect. So he can at least win.

And yet he's still standing and probably will be the next president USA. The man is truly an American phenomena and my hero!
Oh please!

Americans have become so disappointed with politics and the right fueled this disappointment. He is just riding that wave into power. His followers would rather have a Hollywood reality star who says what they want to hear, someone who plays along with what they want (sure I'll be a conservative Christian now! Sure I am against abortion! All liberals lie! The border blah, blah, blah. Muslims blah...blah.. blah...) Instead of any politician.

And let me add, the right's hatred for all things Clinton helped.

Not sure of your point here.....I don't hate the Clintons but she is an awfully, awfully weak candidate. And there's barely an ounce of character, sharpness or imagination in her......never has been.
