Much of the support being shown for these two come from folks that haven't voted in years along with many Dems. But yet, they claim to be the "republican base" and anybody else that won't play ball with them in their sandbox with their toys and by their rules can just go to hell as far as they are concerned.<br /><br />No wonder the Republicans have trouble winning national elections. The Dems have everybody voting en mass whether they are from the far, far left through to the middle left. But in order to get a majority by using the conservative side the ones to the far right demand everyone move to them or else they are going to bail out just to see if they can cut off their nose to spite their face. <br /><br />And to top it off - Trump hasn't said or done anything yet to show what his political stance is. Historically he sure hasn't been the conservative he is trying to claim now without specifics or facts, yet a large part of his support doesn't give a damn. They just like the fact he will insult anyone that gets around him just so he can show off his entertainment ability.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-26217618944452123182016-01-15T17:55:27.932-06:002016-01-15T17:55:27.932-06:00Couldn't resist - have to put my 2cents worth ...Couldn't resist - have to put my 2cents worth in the mix. The GOP positioned and fully supported two milk-toast candidates in 2008 and 2012. No fight in them. They were scared to death of the PC crowd. And now the PC madness has come to a boil. Why is Trump doing so well? Simple really, he is saying what many think but fear to say. He is poking the GOP leadership in the eye which is what many conservative voters want. In the past most had no where to go but the GOP establishment candidate(s). This time is different. And the beauty of Trump is you never know what he will say! And that terrifies his opponents. Why? Because he will drag them into the mud kicking and screaming. When wrestling with a pig you are both going to get nasty...but the pig loves it. And Trump is the King of Pig Wrestling.
