I don't think they really know what they want, if they did Trump would be history

joker97: Being good at marketing you can put a monkey out there they will still vote the monkey
Its not about the skill its about the marketing. Or in our case, watching CNN from 12 hours flight time away!
Is Trump still running? Wow - My bookie will be making a fortune - everyone is betting he would tank when the USA public woke out of their stupor or someone would have shot him by now.
I can feel my IQ points draining just thinking about it - must leave now while stillll caaannnnn tthhhiiiinccccccccccc

I hope you're not an American voter. A persona created for a made-for-TV scripted "unreality" soap opera is a poor criterion for the actor's ability to lead a powerful nation.
How about Arnold Schwarzenegger for Governor of California, He did an alright job didn't he????
Bring back Regan, he could talk and chew gum both. A real actor.

These comments are my own and do not represent the opinions of 2degrees.
Look, I know that Regan was prezi twice already. But can't they just dig him up and chuck him back in the white house for a third time?
It amuses me to watch the indignation of the liberal newstainment media toward the U.S. presidential
candidate Mr Trump, and their incomprehension over the popularity of his message among the white
working class.
As white working class myself, I understand, and share in a N.Z. context, the same frustration, sense
of powerlessness, even betrayal, toward our own politicians, careerist bureaucrats, and corporate elites,
who have over the past thirty years progressively undermined the working class and lower middle class
via policies that caused the decline of local manufacturing jobs, allow mass immigration to create
an oversupply of workers, and made home ownership unaffordable (at least in wider Auckland), all in
the name of market 'efficiency' via competition in the Reagan/Thatcher model.
A simple message... 'I will fix it!" has much appeal.
Whether achievable or not is another matter, but it will attract votes by working class of all backgrounds,
which politically liberal and economically insular bourgeois of the newstainment media, and many online
forums, do not understand, and rage against.
So now, in the usual online style, let the attack begin on the messenger, rather than discussion of the
message itself...
The problem in this case is that the 'messenger' (Drumph) is a pathological liar and blowhard who makes sweeping statements with absolutely nothing to back them up. He says elect me and I will stop crime, but he gives no indication whatsoever of how he might actually go about doing that. He is tapping into people's anger and disillusionment but he is doing exactly what every other politician does, making empty promises that he cannot and will not keep. He also constantly contradicts himself and shamelessly ploughs on, apparently believing he can turn water into wine and wine into water at the same time. The issue is not whether anyone agrees with his message or not, it is entirely with him.

An interesting analysis which exactly mirrors what @NedLudd said... the conservatives don't want policies and analysis and correct responses. They just want a "Strict Dad" who says he will fix it.

People (the Republican voters) believe what they wanna hear.
I get this too and it genuinely scares me. All the pundits continue to insist that he doesn't have a chance but where have we heard that before? For the record, I don't trust Hillary either, but on the lesser of evils scale she wins hands down.
