Donald Trump is a very scary politician but...

[kentuck]

...his supporters are more scary.

They have no sense of history. They are willing to put aside everything to defeat Hillary Clinton. Do they truly believe that Hillary Clinton is worse than the billionaire bigot? Or are they so partisan that they are willing to gamble with the survival of our country just to make a political point?

What kind of person cheers such a bully? What type of person is willing to overlook issues of substance in favor of personal insults and name-calling?

I have a hunch these are the same type of people that are first in line for a game of 3-card monte or the big-eyed innocent that wants to show how smart they are, by picking out the correct shell with the bean under it. They are willing to play a shell game with our country's future and that makes them more dangerous than Donald Trump himself.

1. the rightwing and the media hate the Clintons with a burning passion

and they spew that hatred 24/7

2. And M$Greedia is a big part of the promotion of Chickenshit Dodgy Don the Con

6. RW websites call the MSM leftist, so let's call it a tie

This having been said, Trump got all the media attention because he's playing the show business card: no matter what he says, he just makes it attention grabbing. And the MSM, whatever its real bias, needs to sell.

3. That's the crux of it. How many Americans have descended to this level ? Like an alcoholic or

drug addict, do we need to reach rock bottom before this country realizes that it's sick ? Only time will tell.

4. They scare me, too. Evidently

they feel their government has cheated them and that Trump is going to put everything back to where it was in some (completely fictional) perfect time in the country.

Quite a damn few of Trump's supporters do not seem very uh... discerning. And almost an equal number seem volatile and angry.

No brains and a short fuse. Not the best possible combination for the maintenance of a Constitutional republic.

5. The same kind of people elected Andrew Jackson. nt

11. Agree. There is a very good

piece in the June Atlantic:

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/06/the-mind-of-donald-trump/480771/

--about Trump, his ego, and his authoritarian personality.

Andrew Jackson is heavily referenced.

7. hate and fear

drive these people who revere every word spilling from that sewage dump of a mouth owned and operated by Trump. What a devious POS, and his advisors too........

8. We bernistas told you.

Munches popcorn.

9. Just the mention of Hillary Clinton will draw republicans to the voting booth. With

them, it's anybody but Hillary. They'll even vote for a crooked con artist to keep her out.

10. Polk campaigned on stealing the West from Mexico. It worked for him.

And Abraham Lincoln's opposition to the unprovoked invasion of Mexico was vociferous but it did not stop the imperialists from carrying out God's will, Manifest Destiny!
