The Trump Phenomenon

Why, do you think, is a blow-heart like Donald Trump still leading all Republican candidates for president? I would be embarrassed to be associated with Trump in any way and I think most of you would too. Certainly, I wouldn't support his Candidacy. He is leading the pack because conservatives are feed up with politicians on both sides of the political isle, especially with go-along to get-along rhino republicans like Jeb Bush and Chris Christie. Enough is enough already!

Trump has been smart enough to tap into the seething resentment of the conservative republican base and its paying off big time for him. We conservatives hate, with a passion, almost everything the political establishment, the Washington insiders, stand for. It seems no matter what we do or how we vote nothing changes. This is particularly galling since we won the last two elections, except for the presidency, by wide margins and had high expectations that something would chance, at least we expected them to build the damned fence and stop the never ending flow of low IQ illegal's into our country from Mexico. But, alas, nothing has changed and Trump is taking advantage of our penned up frustrations. All of Trump's policies are aimed at our cumulative disappointment with the leaders of the republican party, especially the two witless wonders who lead the republicans in the house and senate. Some are no-brainers, such as his promise to eliminate the ridiculous law that makes anyone who is born in the United States an automatic citizen. Certainly, no one but an anarchist could support such a decree. You have to scratch your head in amazement that none of the other candidates have failed to pick this low hanging fruit that was dangling right before their collective noses. Trump was the first candidate to recognize the unpopularity of the anchor-baby law, but he will not be the last you can bet your last dollar on that! Similarly, Trump understands the we conservatives want secure borders, especially between the United States and Mexico. Yes, as Trump promises, the illegal's should be deported, every last one of them! But, that is a secondary issue, first we must build the damned fence to prevent any more from coming. Who pays for the fence is not the issue, we can borrow to pay for it like we barrow to pay for almost everything else the government does. Once the border is air tight we can decide what to do with the illegal's that are here, the law abiding ones that is. Illegal's that are not law abiding should be sent packing for the slightest offence, even spitting on the sidewalk. Trump says we should get tough with China and Mexico, fine once again he has pushed one of the political hot buttons. Nothing has been done along these lines because big business wants cheap labor and a market for their high tech products while the democrats want illiterate low IQ voters to bolster their political base. When all is said and done, Trump is a capitalist and will do little or nothing to change the status quo, even if he should become president. So, what are the chances that Trump can pull it off and become president. The answer is slim to none. Trump looks strong now because there are seventeen candidates running for the republican president slot. Once the candidates who are low on the totem pole start leaving the race their supporters are unlikely to join the Trump parade and his position as front runner will come to a grinding halt. Hopefully, a conservative like Carson, Fiorina or Rubio will learn a lesson from Trumps early success and adopt the parts of his platform that resonate so powerfully with the conservative base of the Republican party. By the way, no matter which of the males comes out on top, Carley Fiorina will be the Republican vice-presidential candidate in 2016, you have my word on it!
