And he's still having sex with a young woman, which is really all he cares about.

So who's the winner?

I expect no other response from a Trump supporter

which is the fundamental misunderstanding right there

How so?

Look at the way corporations run education? Pearson, anyone? Bill Gates?

As an educator, I HATE it. However, it is what it is. So if government schools are run by business . . .

You know the rest, and I can't disagree with PP's uncle!

I made no such implication. No one doubts the patriotism of liberal icons like FDR and JFK, each of whom enjoyed strong backing from Reagan democrats. But to paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen (a WWII combat pilot and patriot), Obama is no John Kennedy.

No, you don't get to decide who is a patriot. And patriotism is not correlated with your or your party's core values. This is incredibly insulting.

Also, just FYI, because this is another very annoying thing, someone's opinions do not carry more weight because they have served in the military.

I resent your implication that Bentsen was not a patriot. And sorry, but FDR did many things, but he didn't serve in the military. And that makes him no less a patriot. But go ahead, feel the Bern. Free college becomes you.

Wut?

"Wut?" If you are having difficulty, try using Google translate to put the above into your own language.

These people are not racists, they are not ignorant uneducated people, etc but they are fed up with the both parties and how they say one thing to get elected but then do something else when they are in office.

Trump speaks to their aspirations, fears and hopes. These are people who are opposed to illegal immigration, granting amnesty to illegals, they despise political correctness, they think everything is out of control when it comes to dealing with Islamic inspired terrorism - even if it is a perversion.

If he ends up the nominee, it will not surprise me if many of these people vote for him.

"These" people are indeed racist, ignorant and uneducated. One couldn't support him otherwise.

Is Prius supposed to be an insult now?

I have similar Facebook friends...It's very sad. And, some of the rich friends are otherwise intelligent people. I don't know why they don't support one of the other Republican candidates...

Just wait - in just a few minutes you'll find out that you are in fact an ignorant and incoherent wrinklie.

Apparently, that is perfectly acceptable behavior, but, for the sake of all you hold sacred, whatever you do, do not dare to suggest someone is a SAHM.

I'm the PP who got their 'panties in a twist' (also a super classy comment). I find basically all of you pretty vile. But most of you are just being jerks to one another, not calling out entire groups of people based on non-political attributes.

Well, alrighty...

I think we could see a reverse Bradley Effect WRT Trump. I am a conservative who plans on voting for him, but am too embarrassed to admit it to anyone.

The only way someone could possibly be a Trump supporter yet NOT be a bigoted racist azzhole is if that person held this belief:

"I am not a bigoted, racist azzhole, but bigotry and racism are not dealbreakers for me, personally."

I cannot respect such a position.

How dare the writers of the Economist disrespect the american voter! In a democracy, the government listens to the people and not the other way around. The liberal elite should not be allowed to impose their own version of the rule of law on America. Over the last twenty years the First Amendment has been almost completely obliterated by the idea of political correctness. People are afraid to say even the simplest things for fear of being misunderstood. Hell, saying "Merry Christmas" is no longer socially acceptable. Laws are enforced at will, or not at all, and the liberal elite feels entitled to disrespect the average Americans, off whose backs they make their living. And this is precisely why people support Trump - because he does not seek to "improve" or "educate" an average voter, but instead shows him respect and actually listens to their opinions - something that, you know, in a democracy, an elected representative is supposed to do.

There is no way you are an attorney. You are not only a wrinklie, you're an incoherent idiot.

And you are an ass. This poster probably has an actual job--you know working for a living--and doesn't have the leisure time of a stay at home mommy to both proof read a forum post or speculate on someone else's credentials based upon a dashed out post. This is hardly a brief or a formal opinion.

Oh shut up. You know nothing about me. And just when did madame attorney post? Who did she bill that time to?

Oh, so you can dish it out but you can't take it? Figures. Guess, the comments hit a little too close to home--ruffled your feathers a bit, huh? BTW, even attorneys take a break from billing now and again, but if you had ever practiced in a big firm--or had a real job for that matter-- you would know that. Now go change a diaper.

NP who is not a SAHM and not an attorney who thinks you are being a giant disrespectful ass. SAHMs, attoneys, and basically every other regular person deserves some basic respect. Someone who changes diapers IS entitled to an opinion.

Her "opinion" was judgmental and disrespectful. She dishes the trash. She gets it back.

you dont even know its a she or a mom let alone a SAHM but you certainly showed what you think of moms, and i stand by it, youre an ass

I can live with that. Now, did her comments about the attorney qualify her as an ass or does she get a pass because you agree with her politics? Btw, she didn't know if the person she criticized was actually an attorney but she had no problem opining on the issue-quite negatively, actually.

A bit like Trump, no? He says all kinds of shit without knowing what he's talking about or even caring whether he's right or not and his supporters roar their approval. I was channeling Trump and didn't think it was important to be PC. Isn't that what Trump supporters say? Or could it be that being PC might matter if one belongs to the group being criticized/ridiculed? Like I said I was channeling Trump. Not a SAHM BTW.

And that still makes you a racist and a bigot.

I seriously cannot comprehend thinking you are a good person and supporting this guy, especially since your main concern is your tax break. You're basically selling your soul.

Then I think you need to take long hard look in the mirror and make peace with the kind of person you are.

Well, you get points for coming up with a convoluted way to explain a knee jerk reaction and criticizing a poster without knowing what you are talking about.
