How Trump Continues To Lead In The Polls
Recent polls indicate that, despite public outcry against his incendiary comments on women and minorities, Donald Trump is still the leading Republican candidate.
Here are some reasons Trump stays so popular with his supporters:
- Highly relatable lack of qualifications for holding government office
- Americans’ appreciation for classic underdog story of man who started with only several hundred million dollars and went on to make several billion dollars
- Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make America great again
- Exploits other Republican candidates’ weaknesses by allowing them to open their mouths and speak on issues
- Very, very handsome
- Voters eager to see presidential library with three infinity pools and rooftop driving range
- Bolstered by impassioned endorsement from Donald Trump
- Eccentric, megalomaniac billionaire still more relatable to average American than anyone willing to dedicate life to politics
- Appeals to widespread desire to see nation implode sooner rather than later

Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make America great again
This is why he will win.
Correct most of the rest is BS.
Great to see The Onion still satirizing, as their job gets harder and harder what with reality reaching full-on farce proportions and all.
it is indeed. I found each of those bullet points to be mostly based in reality. Its interesting to see how most ZHers(not yourself, obviously) have become single issue voters on the immigration issue. The new mantra is apparently "I don't care how much you grow govt or how much worse the police state gets as long as you get rid of the illigal immigrants"
The anti-war crowd on here is also pretty silent on his STATED INTENTIONS to reinvade Iraq, along with syria and Iran. So much for the libertarians, i guess. Kinda reminds me of how silent the anti-war left has been for the last 6 years of obama. I guess as long as its "your guy" doing it, its ok...
fine, lets just put off doing anything at all. business as usual.
Trump plays the part that many 'merican men want to be (with all its bluster), but aren't, because said men are cowards. In short, regardless of whether this clown holds any political office, it will be business as usual in 'merica because of the simple fact that 'merican men are cowards.
where do the world's bravest men reside?
Nowhere Fred.
where do the world's least cowardly men reside?
Probably not in a voting booth.
voting is kinda gay
Voting is what you do AFTER you're brave enough to secure freedom.
The reason Trump is killing it is simple. In most companies, the boss is usually a dick. That's how he got to be the boss. So Trump is a dick, but he's a boss, and that's what we need right now. No one is scared of Obama, and we have scary times coming up in this country. We need someone who truly does not give a fuck.
"It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it... anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."
Douglas Adams knew his stuff.
If you want a candidate that will actually be good for the country, vote Deez Nuts.
If you want a candidate who is good for the country, they need to take on th federal reserve. Until Deez Nuts does that, Rand is my man. He will audit and end the Fed!

Jesus lived a perfect life. Trump has a checkered past of theft and deceit.
The history books will record that Trump lived a perfect life.
Trump might suck giant ass. But he's better than having another Bush or Clinton in the White House. Word to your mother.
Seriously folks, It's the Onion. (Hint: It's full of liberals.)
Where's the Hillary laugher?
That woman is a bucket of chuckles.
Our country is bankrupt.
We need a president that knows how to get through bankruptcy.
Trump is our man!
Unfortunately, we can't as a nation declare bankruptcy and stick all of the creditors....or can we???
Of course Trump deosn't want to end the federal reserve. Most of his wealth is in real estate. The same market that is propted up by the fed. He will keep that central bank working overtime to keep real state markets in a bubble.
The're sticking us, why can't we stick them?
Turnabout is fair!
Will he end the Fed? Without that everything else is academic.
This is sarcasm, right?
iceland....where they kicked out all of the bankers
FUCK YOU ABOUT HIS INCENDIARY COMMENTS....The truth is often INCENDiary.....bitchez.....
Libs can't do humor. It requires context, perspective, a sense of irony and the absurd.
A much better "onion."
"The White House announced today that in the wake of the Virginia murders, the President will give a major speech on the trials of being black and gay in America. He will describe in some detail how living with lies and cover-ups can make one hostile to all of humanity, lead to preposterous lies, and foster a death wish, or a desire for mass destruction. His main applause line (listen up presstitutes) will be that a closeted queer is the last person on earth you would want carrying around an orange football, which could wipe out human life on the planet. Have a nice day;)"
So i gather the magic negro will finally admit hes only half black and hes finally coming out of the closet and admitting hes gay. Its about F,n time.
Don't forget Michael, the First Mantranny. Simply can not wait for these truths to come to light, indisputable. Progressives will keep on lying and denying. Or, maybe they will, for the first time, tell the truth: "You capitalist clingers have to die so we may have our utopia."https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWMIwziGrAQ
I spose it was the French that won the West, or put a man on the moon, or even circumnavigated the globe first.
Don't be so sure of yourself there Gai-wad.
You're so brave, you probably supported "Freedom Fries"...
Gutsy...
Jus befo da Cibil Wah, mah daddy let ouah fries go freeh! We be good folk, bitchez
I can truthfully say that I am amped up beyond belief to be experiencing the oncoming rush of what is shaping up-to-be one for the record books, a real lollipop loser of an election season, the historic 2016 Presidential race. On the Democratic side, Ex-Senator and Secretary of state Hillary Clinton and Senator Barney Sanders are contending for position, with Vice-President Joe Biden lurking in the wings, licking his chops for signs of the slightest weakness.
On the Republican side, the frontrunner & ten-billion dollar baby Mr. Donald Trump, making his way like a gorilla in their midst, leads the Republican field against Ex-Governor Jeb! “Veto Corleone” Bush (as he prefers to be known), the darling of Wall Street who has raised more money than any other candidate thus far. Mr. Bush’s only problem is his very, very low energy levels, which — although the Gipper might have a few things to say about that — is usually not considered a prime asset in vying for the presidency. There are also a gaggle of other also-rans, such as Senator ‘Rand’ Paul, whom Mr. Trump rightly called out as being unable to win. Senator Paul can’t even win a golf game against Mr. Trump. This is very telling. We need a winner in the White House, someone who can go head to head with Putin in a tough negotiation.
Mr. Trump has accepted the offer of Mr. Carl Icahn to be his Secretary of the Treasury, which is a big endorsement in itself. Mr. Icahn knows a few things about money.
Mr. Trump has come out against a flat tax, one of Senator Rand’s crackpot schemes. In contrast, Mr. Trump wants a progressive system, with steeper rates even than we have now, where the rich are taxed much, much more than the poor. This seems like the fairest system to me. The rich should pay more in taxes considering how much they benefit from the infrastructure that taxes provide. As President Obama has so justly pointed out, ‘You didn’t build that yourself.’ In addition, its indisputable that a flat tax would be a job-killer, no question. Thus, advocates of such a plan are simply either cynical manipulators of public opinion or fools, take your pick.
Another thing on the horizon is the political event taking place in D.C. next month and organized by Senator Ted Cruz (another hopeful) alongside Mr. Trump in opposition to the Iran nuclear deal. This sends a great message for both men who correctly see through Iran’s intentions to cheat on the nuclear deal and thus plunge the entire Middle East into further chaos. Ted Cruz for VP on a Trump ticket anyone? A team truly made in Heaven.
I particularly like the tough Trump stance on illegal immigration. He has pledged to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. How is Mr. Trump going to do this, you ask. Simple. Take their oil. I know he said he would do that with ISIS by bombing the hell out of them first. And he could do that, seriously. But Mexico is closer and they are sending in too many of their criminals across the border. What we need instead is a comprehensive solution to the immigration problem. We absolutely do need more immigrants coming here to lend their skills and valuable knowledge, increase our tax revenues and become hardworking Americans, but not if it is to be done illegally by coming here and having anchor babies to attain U.S. citizenship. That is absolutely the wrong way to go about it! As you can probably tell, I’m really psyched about Mr. Trump’s candidacy. I haven’t quite decided but I think he would make a great president!
I really, REALLY hope you're a write for The Onion.

"fine, lets just put off doing anything at all, business as usual"
Not doing anything at all, as you said, would be hugely preferable to growing the police state(how else do you expect the US govt to round up 15 million people all over the US? and once those govt agencies grow, they will NEVER shrink back to their original size), grow the military industrial state, launch another ground war that is guaranteed to add a few trillion more the the national credit card, and ramp up the war on whistleblowers.
So, yes, if doing nothing is optional, Ill take that
hunting licenses?
Last count, 12.6 million hunters, politicians not so much. Oh, and we hunt with our LEO buds. Texas has about one million with concealed carry permits, Florida has 1.5. Did I mention that our military is on our side. And, you do recall that only about 3% of the population fought in the Revolutionary war.
Epic.
I would bet good money and possibly my life on the military NOT being on our side. They will follow their orders.
Have you seen a class of military recruits lately? They're about 70% foreign invaders from the south you are correct, they will not be on our side and they will follow orders.
I have a better correction.
The military is not on your side, and it is not on "their" side. They are their own side.
I'm fairly certain if something goes down, most of the troops in our military will slaughter their officers, and roam the countryside doing whatever they want with tanks, mortars, gun-boats, naval vessels, nuclear subs, aircraft, forklifts, etc.
What, you seriously think the military will follow Hussein Obama and John McStain? Or Trump? Or anybody? If this shitshow finally hits the fan, I don't think the military will recognize their oath to a non-entity (the former United States).
Fuck, just talk to people in law enforcement and the military. The muscle is getting fed up with politics AND the people. They don't care about anybody else but the "thin blue line", and to hell with everyone else. The signs are already there.
In 1934 the military industrial complex attempted a fascist coup of the country. Have you considered the possibility that, failing to achieve their aims (thanks to the profoundly moral General Smedley Butler), they've never really stopped trying?
Has it crossed your mind that the succession of terrible presidents, all of whom have sung the tune of the MIC, have been intentionally installed with the purpose of making a military, fascist coup not only desireable, but actually desired by the one section of the population capable of stopping it?
Bounties.
yes, let us sit back and let us continue to be over run like europe has. let us feed, house, clothe and educate anyone and everyone so that we and our children may live like paupers
Ya got a lot of down arrows for being right on this one. I don't always agree with your opinion, but I do appreciate your view on things. There is a real problem with mericun men, they are under attack for not being or supporting metrosexual skinny jean fags. They also won't do much about being fat slobs either. The answer is to stop waiting for someone to save you and be the man you want to admire.

That's how we defeated the Nazi's and Japan's Military leaders. We gave them time to murder all Innocent people. When carpet bombing began in earnest over Germany and Japan there was no fear of killing innocent people. It's the same in the Middle East. ISIS is murdering everyone that does not follow their brand of 'Religion' so everyone becomes a target in ISIS controlled areas. This is also the reason Obama wants Iran to have a nuclear bomb. They are crazy enough to actually use one which would allow our Military the unrestricted use of them.
this was a pretty stupid post from the get go, but you really outdid yourself with that last line, that would be tough to top
Libertarians left here in disgust years ago when the right-wing populists took over, myself included. I post and view far less than I used to.
You are quite correct. Most of the knuckle-dragging mouth-breathing populists who post here hate brown and black and Jewish people far more than they hate the State, or war, or the empire, or the loss of liberty. They just want Them out. Losers.
hahaha the tally on your post is rapidly proving you right. There are still some good ones on here, its not all bad, but a lot of really good people have either been banned or just given up and left. I have noticed a massive shift towards "right wing populist" as you say compared to the run up to the last election. It seems like no Ron Paul running not only keeps a lot of libertarians away from the polls but also from ZH
Or, perhaps the native population is appalled by their rapid illegal displacement, one they get to pay for both in lost jobs, as well as by higher taxes/debt. As for your witless ad hom, fuck you.
indeed, there is a lot of racism and anti-jewish-ism on display at zerohedge. it almost makes a person wonder if these are provocateurs. in any event, 'right wing populism' is an apt description for the content of such posts.
hey dickbreath,
People here have wised up to the fact that zionist jews control the media, as well as the FED......
Now go put your dick back in your daddy's mouth, and stop your nancy-boy crying....
"populists who post here hate brown and black and Jewish people"
Actually, we don't care about color or tribe, we care about justice. We don't want to be slaves.
If you import millions of poor people that I am obligated to house and feed, you make me more of a slave. So if they have brown skin and I notice my increased enslavement, I'm racist for noticing? Hows about you go and piss yourself, shit yourself, then have a nice sit down on a white couch.
Why heck, boys... I'd support just about anybody if he helps destroy the Republican Party.
You want to be really frustrated - try talking to a Hillary supporter.
Trump may be x, y, and z bad things - the trouble is, he is more reasonable a candidate than any other republican.
Mike Huckabee may actually be no fooling psychotic.
wrg
Fuck the public outcry, the Status Quo is quite upset that there is someone they can't buy or dazzle to cooption, at least not yet. I hope his security guys are the best and that they wear vests.
FORWARD THE TRUMPSTER!
Trump is still underestimated. He will get the Reagan Democrats, mostly blue collar types. Only the union bosses will stay with the Dims.
He will also win the Hispanic vote. They understand it's time to raise the draw bridge. Happening in Europe as we speak.
Trump will not win the Hispanic vote...that's ludicrous...from what I've seen so far, he'll pick up about 10% of the Hispanic vote..those are the Hispanics here legally that are competing with the illegals for jobs...financial survival is cutthroat..same race or not...
So the 90% of hispanics that are here illegally will vote against him? Probably most of the dead bodies in Chicago will vote the same way.....hahaha
May depend on how many illegals vote.
If voting didn't matter, the Dims would not engage in massive vote fraud.
i would add that counting votes as they please with the desire to appear legit is more their style - both R&D.
ever recall anyone from outside that cabal winning an election lately? names on the ballot a chokepoint for freedom? trump is an overpressure valve. when he's served his purpose and the discontent is tired and spent, its back to business as usual.
Legal Hispanics and Tejanos far outweigh the illegals. And he will pick up the overwhelming majority of legal immigrants because they HATE illegals. [aka line jumpers]
saw someone of latino descent supporting trump the other day on facebook. then i realized; latins whose families have been here for a generation or more are not necessarily in the back pocket of the dems.
That is not been the case in my experience. A wide and varied range of legal immigrants sympathize with anyone trying to get out of a hopeless or dangerous situation and into the U.S.
I tried to find a legal immigrant who would be willing to go on camera to discuss how they worked hard to get citizenship and are dismayed that others cheated their way into the States. Not a single one would do it. They all sympathized and were supportive of illegals.
I'll take your personal experience and bank it! They don't want to go on camera personally and denounce members of their own race? That seals it - consider contacting Gallup and teling them not bother this this question any longer, since you have figured it out with your personal experience. Their survey respondents are obviously lying - all immigrants want wave after wave of undocumented workers coming in, who will work for leas and live in worse circumstances. It's the recipe for success.
Well, I certainly wouldn't want to "experience" your personal experience, so I'll stick with mine.
Are you talking about this Gallup poll?
http://www.gallup.com/poll/161765/americans-favor-giving-illegal-immigra...
Or how about these polls?
http://www.pollingreport.com/immigration.htm
All of them suggest that you may indeed bank on my "personal experience".
I do not support illegal immigration to the U.S. But the majority of Americans sympathize with illegal immigrant amnesty of some form or another.
In other news, Trump studied Hitler speeches according to ex-wife Yvana in 1990 Interview.
http://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a...
I tried to interview "folks" at the unemployment office and not a single one would go on camera and "support illegal immigration" - just kidding of course - there is no unemployment and if you think there is you must be racist.
There is indeed a good deal of truth in the legal vs. illegal, older vs recent, immigrant's opinion of immigration.
I was an immigrant to New Zealand 15 years ago, and I'm convinced that there's way too much immigration here.
"Creative destruction" has its economic value, but I do NOT think it's wise to run your entire society that way.
Just ask the Maori, and they'll tell you.
Bullshit. My whole family is legal immigrants and we would catapult these motherfuckers back over the border. I would deport every one of them, then push a case through
the supreme court to clarify whether simply being born here gives you citizenship - the current policy, although certainty not the intent of the amendment being used to support it. If ruled constitutional, I would push for an amendment to reverse that.
Most of this opinion is shared by a very good friend of mine who immigrated here as an adult.
I am especially pissed off at the "press for English" and signs and literature in Spanish. I made an effort to learn English, and did not expect any special favors.
This is true, many of my second/third/fourth generation mexican friends can't stand illegals.
I don't disagree with your experience. But the immigrants who came here legally seem to sympathize with illegals. I have asked S.Americans, Mexicans and Indians(Asians). I would not consider a 2, 3 or 4th generation Mexican a legal immigrant. They are American by birth, not immigrants. Even so, upto 65% of Americans surveyed support some kind of amnesty (the polling questions are vague). When I ask more questions so as to get a clearer idea of how they are thinking I arrive at the "there but for the grace of God go I" theory. Which is to say, they imagine themselves as very lucky to be a citizen and would wish no ill will to those that didn't make it here legally. Imagine a freed slave being jealous or spiteful to a runaway slave. This is how they feel. Ask a few legal immigrants these difficult questions and see what results you get. I am not sure how the polls selected their participants or if the group was biased somehow. Dozens of polling surveys are in the links above.
This issue is extremely unimportant to me. We were discussing this issue with regard to Trump's supposed popularity. It is exciting that he can be successful against the establishment. This is promising in one way. But it also worries me about the quality of the electorate. His supporters only seem to be motivated by hatred against another group of people. Whether or not they deserve it is really not the issue. Electing someone out of hate seems dangerous when viewed from a historical context. Trump understands this base emotion and takes advantage of it to the point where he proposes impractical solutions. How will we pay for the wall? Through tariffs. We will tax Mexican imports so much that we can build a tall wall for hundred of miles and populate it with technology, sentries, vehicles, jails of some sort, I suppose, etc. Mexican imports are plentiful enough to do this? Walls are tall enough to keep people out? Does Expanding a para military/police force attached to DHS seems like a good solution to you?
He is quick to offer tariffs as a solution to other problems such as industry relocating to other other countries (Oreo cookies, automobiles). Tariffs have historically been a prelude to war. He is quick to say how he would order corporations to do certain things to appease his supporters. These three examples of what he does defines Trump as a fascist. There are more things, too. But I am tired of typing. Have a nice Saturday!
He will when Cruz is his VP!
"from what I've seen so far, he'll pick up about 10% of the Hispanic vote"
You need to stop staring at the giant establishment ass that your lips are fixed to if you want to see anything else. Latino men have machismo. They won't support a shrew if they have an alternative. They have not had a MAN they could vote for yet. Latino men are macho because their women respect strength. Trump is the strong horse, everyone in his way is meat.
"Trump...will get the Reagan Democrats"
More like Hillary will send the "Reagan Democrats" running into the Trump camp.
I know "Reagan Democrats" and they don't like Trump...but they absolutely DETEST the CLINTONS!
Said it before and I'll say it again...Bernie is proof of the intense hatred of the Clintons...even the hardest of the hard core Democrats have trouble supporting her; that's not a good sign...if Hillary is the nominee, then this election is for the Republicans to lose.
Do you know a statistically significant number of people in any group? Who cares what the Reagan demonrats you personally know think about it? Meaningless data.
Yes, I know all of the Reagan Democrats; they'll vote Republican if the Democrat is further to the left than the Republican is to the Right.
Reagan Democrats are really left of center Independents.
Reagan democrats are pretty much all like Reagan -dead.
He's unlikely to "win the Hispanic vote" but more will vote for him than most expect.
Because yes - many people who broke the law to get on a life boat have no problem shoving other people's heads below the water.
Then you have the Ramos types who give only a shit about their fellow ethnics, but will cry racism when anyone else does the same.
I don't have a position other than lots of unskilled foreign language speakers dont seem to be great for the country or working class although I've read theories from economists claiming its all good.
The fact few people are talking about a middle ground, practical solution that will secure the borders while dealing practically and humanely with people who have worked, paid taxes, and not committing crimes tells you that American politics perpetually excludes the middle.
Of course, its either Left or Right, Red or Blue for most people.
The result of that is no compromise, gridlock, and sophomoric thinking.
Calling the other guy an idiot or racist or whatever may feel good - but its basically just a waste of energy and time.
What does the slogan 'make America great again', even mean...? What does it mean for America to be 'great' in the first place, let alone, 'again'...?
"What does the slogan 'make America great again', even mean...?"
It means something different to everyone; which is why it is such a great and powerful campaign slogan...you get to fill in the blank...which mentally equates to you getting to cast a vote for yourself...perfect!
You should really get him to nail down exactly what he means by "great again".
So much headnodding over empty sophistry, like his supporters brains are confiscated at the door.
Awww...some red-flavor sheeple think America was "Great", they just can't really define how just now.
Can they get back to you on that?
Is this first time you've tried to digest campaign rhetoric? They're fucking politicians -- don't overthink it.
Sorry, much as it would be a great thing if he did, he won't win. Hillary is a shoo-in.
Your probably right,,, last time she bowed out to allow a black president rather than a female,,, this time she believes it's her turn. This country has a fetish for that kind of political correctness. I remember how everyone was wooing and awhing, and swooning over Americas first black President, Nobel Prize Laurette ad naseum who was going to make the world right again.
Hillary or some female (Caitlin ?? ) will most likely be the next president.
CNN pounces on Trump in MA: Is this a fundraiser?
http://tinyurl.com/poqwbwr
Trump is "popular" because supporting him is a big "FUCK YOU" to the Republican establishment...which is why I, as an Independent, support Trump and will vote for him if all the Democrats offer up is Hillary.
NO FUCKEN WAY WILL I VOTE FOR THE CLINTONS...yeah, plural, they're a package deal!
2010 Gun FACTS:
11,078 deaths by homicide
6,093 (55%) were African Americans; representing 13% of the US Population
2,770 (25%) were White; representing 65% of the US Population
1,883 (17%) were Hispanic; representing 16% of the US Population
Top 3 States:
#1 is California with 1257
#2 is Texas with 805
#3 is New York with 517
These 3 states represent 23% of all murders even though they represent the Right and Left extremes of “gun control”. Could it be that weak/strong "guns laws" are neither the cause nor the solution to gun murders?
A Little Math and Food for Thought:
The estimated total number of firearms available to civilians in the United States is approximately 310 million
310,000,000 / 11,078 = 27,983…..if we (wrongly assume) one firearm for each murder, that equates to ONE gun out of every 27,983 in circulation ends up murdering someone.
Let’s assume, I think fairly, an average of 2 murders per gun used in homicides.
Is one GUN out of every 55.966 a murderer, or is one PERSON out of every 55,966 a nutjob/criminal that, even without a gun, is hell bent on killing people and would do so even if they had zero access to a gun?
Ban all guns and confiscate every last one…smugglers would then only need to “import” 5,539 guns to get our annual murder number back to 11,078!
And for anyone that thinks we can halt the illegal flow of guns into the USA, I say, take a look at our success at keeping out drugs.

Let's not overlook that there are twice as many gun suicides as gun homicides.
A lot of people are so desperate that they choose a permanent "solution" to a temporary problem.
Unsolvable problem, if all you focus on is the means.
Yes, murders are more highly correlated with population density and poverty than with harshness of gun laws.
Murders are mor highly correlated with blacks.
No need to import guns. Anyone with a drill press, grinder, hammer, and files can make sub-machine guns in their garage. The reason for making sub-machine guns is they are the cheapest and easiest to make. Everything is made from stock metal shapes such as square tubing and round bar stock. Even the springs required are easily fabricated using a drill press or even hand winding over a mandrill. Ask any machinist and he or she will confirm that as most of us have made them just to show how easy it's done. Governments all over the world made them in the millions during WWII because they were so cheap and easy to produce. The perfect example is the so called 'Grease Gun' M3 sub-machine gun adopted by the US Army in WWII.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3_submachine_gun"No need to import guns."..the average murderer isn't a machinest and most likely doesn't have the tools/skills to make a gun..it's very easy to grow pot; yet we import it by the truckloads...
I think you overestimate the complexity...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wV3lmbSv4
You forgot to mention nail guns, the preferred method of suicide for the bankster crowd
That's how we get fascist fuckheads as leaders. Vote for the guy who answers every question with FUCK YOU. That's so awesome until pretty soon he's stuffing your ass into a uniform to stuff your neighbor into an oven.
"That's how we get fascist fuckheads as leaders"...
News Flash Vlad...they're all "fascist fuckheads".
The REALITY is that we have to pick one of these "fascist fuckheads" to lead us for the next four years.
I don't like it, but I accept it.
"I don't like it, but I accept it."
And therein lies the problem. Most amerikans agree with that concept which is why this nation will soon be a living hell.
Hog shit! The day to not to "accept it" is the day after the election...the day everyone gets off thier fucking asses and begins the process of having better options come the next election day.
The choices are what they are...PERIOD...there is no changing that now...either play a part in picking the lesser of two evils or shut the fuck up and start working on better choices next time.
Trump is a "K" dealing with "r's". He is a mastermind at the game. What is a "K" vs "r" you ask?
r and K come from evolutionary ecology, where they describe two fundamental psychologies seen in nature, designed to adapt an organism to either a glut or a shortage.
Rabbits are r-strategists, designed to exploit free resources, like fields of grass. The five psychological traits inherent to the r-strategy are docility/conflict-avoidance, promiscuity/non-monogamy, single-mom'ing, early sexualization of young, and no loyalty to a competitive in-group. All help this glut-exploiting psychology to out-reproduce everyone else.
Wolves are K-strategists, designed for when resources are too limited for everyone to survive. The five traits of a K-strategist are competitiveness/ aggressiveness/protectiveness, competitive mate monopolization/ monogamy, high-investment two-parent rearing, only mating when mature, and high loyalty to one's competitive in-group. All these traits either help you win, or produce fitter offspring, so they will win.
Our political battle is one between a glut-exploiting reproductive strategy of rabbits and a shortage-surviving reproductive strategy of wolves. All of politics and much of history are r vs K.
This guy has it figured out if you want to know more. He is a Trumpista though. I am not sure I am but I would vote for the fucker over any other of the "r's" out there. They have no idea what/why this is happening to them as they don't realize the whole K vs r strategy and neither do the voters. Voters love Trumps's K ability but they cannot tell you why succinctly as they don't understand K vs r but they sub conciously follow it.
Before reading him, you need to know what the Amygdala is and does. It is basically what makes you happy or enrages you. From wikipedia.org . ya gotta read about it being displayed to really get a feel about how this organ controls subconcious emoting, imho.
The amygdalae (singular: amygdala; /??m??d?l?/; also corpus amygdaloideum; Latin, from Greek ????????, amygdal?, 'almond', 'tonsil'[1]), listed in Gray's Anatomy as the nucleus amygdalæ, are two almond-shaped groups of nuclei located deep and medially within the temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans.[2] Shown in research to perform a primary role in the processing of memory, decision-making, and emotional reactions, the amygdalae are considered part of the limbic system.[3]

psychology is the science of bullshit
More like people who topped out at reptile brain (slightly more than a stem) have a deep appreciation for other obvious reptile brains.
Seconded.
r vs. K selection is a very useful tool to understand.
I have already stated here multiple times - Trump is a egotistical asshole and it is the quality that people like about him. He is an alpha asshole. He will give all the career politicians a fit. The career politicians are also assholes. They are also weasels.
Tyler must be a closet statist given his disdain for someone who will ignore TPTB. Never woulda thunk it.
"someone who will ignore TPTB"
Thats a cute sentiment. Someone who supports the war on drugs, wants to reinvade Iraq(plus syria and Iran), doesn't want to end the fed, supported the assualt weapons ban(recently), wants to GROW the police state in America, and wants to imprison or kill edward snowden is AGAINST the powers that be? you gotta be fucking kidding me. And tyler is now a "closet statist" for not supporting the OPENLY statist authoritarian donald trump? you should change your fuckin profile pic to a boot stomping on a face, it would fit you better
You would think that someone who has "End the Fed" as his icon would care about Trump's view to the contrary.
No President will "end the FED"..the FED will end itself and take the rest of us down with them...as if 100 years of the FED, and 25 Presidential elections, isn't proof enough of that.
Which is why I have formally given up voting. It is an exercise in futility and participating only means that you are brainwashed into thinking it matters. I seriously consider it the same as anyone who showed up to vote for (or against) Saddam Hussein.
Exactly. Ask them to define 'gerrymandering' and enjoy the humor induced by their blank stares.
I am a big fan of Ron Paul. Rand, not so much. I support The Donald.
Mark Levin was on Hannity last night. He said something I agree with 100%: he detests the Republican establishment more than he detests the Democratic Party. After what I saw the Republican establishment do to Ron Paul, I will support anyone who has the same sentiments about McConnell/Boehner/Romney et al. DJT appears to be such a person. And FWIW, Trump is the only Republican who has a prayer of defeating either Hitlary or Uncle Joe.
Trump-as-President would be interesting, but the best thing that might come out of the 2016 campaign, if we're very very lucky, would be the death of the Republican Party itself.
Like the poor, the Democrats will always be with us, but there is no need for an "opposition party" that opposes nothing.
mark levin is full of shit and so is sean hannity. the two of them ARE the republican establishment. they are both big govt, warmongering statists who can eat shit and die. I really fuckin hope thats not where you go for your 'news'.
and as far as defeating hitlary or uncle joe, does it REALLY fucking matter? if your choice is between 3 warmongering statist authoritarians who want to continue almost every policy I disagree with, i couldn't care less which of them wins, and I sure as shit won't be voting for what I percieve to be the lesser of two evils.
Putting aside that the Tylers post many articles here for clicks and not because they agree with them (they are in business and clicks mean $$), the Tylers also may not like Trump because he's a statist. In his case, you don't even need to confuse what he says with what he does. He says he wants moar war, a bigger military (I guess world's most expensive isn't good enough), he supports the Fed, he supports gun control, and he supports government intervention in trade. Some of his views I agree with, most I don't. I suspect the same goes for the Tylers, but then again they like the Mises Institute so who knows what's going on up in there.
I dont recall any endorsement of any candidate by the Tylers.
The Tylers have never endorsed a candidate, though their rather obvious even if never overt support for Ron Paul in years past was one of the reasons I started reading this site.
same here. I found it in the early run up to the 2012 election, and it was because of their obvious, if not overt, support for ron paul that made me stick around and start reading
"He says he wants moar war, a bigger military (I guess world's most expensive isn't good enough), he supports the Fed, he supports gun control, and he supports government intervention in trade."
Largely True I think(opinion)... except oh I forgot...
Tyler must be a closet statist given his disdain for someone who will ignore TPTB. Never woulda thunk it.
Are you implying that Trump is NOT a statist? (he is very much into big government)
As far as "ignoring the TPTB" I think it's quite a stretch to think that Trump isn't in someone's pocket. His Zionist boot-licking alone is pretty hard to stomach, and to think he might try to reign in the criminals on Wall Street or the Banksters is laughable - they're "his" kinda people. Frankly, he's more of the same with a few tweaks here and there ... moar war, moar tyranny, moar looting of the American people, moar out of control government .... same as it ever was.
If he was truly "anti-establishment" they wouldn't be giving him the media coverage he's getting - it's that simple.
Mr and miss abused voter " I hate all the rest and now I Gota hate you"
"Highly relatable lack of qualifications for holding government office" like hussein obama?
He's a citizen, not a Commie, or Queer, or Muslim, and no Tranny?
Please be careful, Tyler(s). So much real news sounds like The Onion these days... and this piece really is from The Onion.
tsk. tsk Onion. only thing 'tween trump and 1/17 oath is the bushes/rinos/cia/fbi, etc. they're lookin' for their oswald,sirhan,bremer .... as we speak.
i Heard Obama wants to suck Trump's dick and McConell begged to watch..
He would be the best person to take the United States of America through a bankruptcy as he has filed for bankruptcy four times!
Onion, Smonion...The DMan is the best thing to surface in the American political scene since Pat Paulsen and Joe McCarthy. As a Canuck, I love looking south when I see the terror in your eyes when this northern "immigrant state" called "Canada" finally elects an NDP (pinko leftist homocentric) government. TPTB will be shitting their pants when they realize that Canada will be totally morphed into an immigration receptacle for the entire Islamic world. The DMan will be forced to take that big fat blue pill and come up with not one but TWO giant erections spanning the Rio Grande and the Forty-Ninth Parallel and quintuple the size of the Coast Guard.
Have a nice weekend.
Who wrote this crap? He's not making "incendiary comments" against "women and minorities". Incendiary -- nice bullshit term. Women? You mean Megyn Kelly? Minorities? You mean illegal aliens?
And what "public outcry"? You mean from Univision and Jorge Ramos? Leftist activists? CNN and Fox? You mean THAT public?
That's as much of this yellow journalism as I needed to stop reading. I don't have to love Trump to hate this bullshit.
womyn, you mean rosie o'donnel?
you've been onioned
>Only candidate to publicly state willingness to make
>America great again

>Exploits other Republican candidates’ weaknesses by

Well, these are too damn true.
What would Trump have done with Lois Lerner and Koskinen at the IRS?
What would Trump have done when the EPA perpetrated environmental disaster?
What would Trump have done when his "red line" on chem weapons was crossed?
What would Trump have done with Kathy Archuleta and the OPM debacle?
What would Trump have done when his sec state got hacked by the Chinese and Russians?
What would Trump have done with Keystone XL?
What would Trump have done for the rioters in Ferguson?
What would Trump have done with the 99%ers "occupying" public property?
Take a wild fucking guess in each instance, and I am sure you will be close. Thus the beauty of Trump.
What would Trump have done about 9/11?
What would Trump have done about the banker bailout?
What kind of conclusions can you draw if you only look at part of a set of data?
How valid would those conclusions be?
Trump 1-4, 4 is a minimum and we don't know how he would react.
1. He calls them Leaches, cancels Bailout 2008
2. He see the cost of Fighting people without Armies, Navies, Air forces, Hubs, Ports, Government Offices... a farce and says no to war on Iraq and limits Afghanistan Expenses and cost, and states that is is impossible to justify mobilizing an Army to fight shadows
3. He calls for Audit... Demands Private Industries, Stock Markets, Banks, Corporations all consent to complete auditing to expose the direction of the country and planned terror
4. I forgot
Hahaha. Funny shit. You're confusing the campaign with the presidency I see.
Look at our 21st century democratically elected civilian leaders.
Trump is the exact opposite.
True. U nailed it.
I am drawing no conclusions. I am illustrating Trump's appeal. To paraphrase George C. Scott's Patton: You son of a bitches know where I stand.
Wazit!? You were for that earlier when you had honed in on "campaign promises."
Cynical, but I feel Trump would have an "accident" if he didn't do as he was told like the rest of the recent Losers in Chief have done. ......
The onion is getting onioned.
i'd vote just to see Trump's old lady displace the current occupant

Trump will be not more than the figure head on a boa if he becomes president.
The Don and Vlad will polish a bottle of vodka, shake hands, and we will be good with The Bear again. Mark my words.
LOL. As if anyone outside the US sees Trump as anything but an idiotic blowhard with the street cred as a Kardashian.
And that differs from the current ruler, how?
