It is entirely possible, hell even probable, that DT is simply a ass and goes with whatever comes naturally to him. Just a thought...

Angry Caucasian males respect that. Fixed it for you


His rallies are filled with women as well.


Yes but pretty sure polls have shown the majority of women have an unfavorable rating of him. But I agree he has some devoted followers who are female (I know a few myself).

Clearly just about anything is possible. But, if you heard her MSNBC interview, it is much more likely that she simply didn't want to speak. Kind of lost in this discussion is the Mother of the Orlando shooting victim. She had two men supporting her during her speech. Neither of them talked. But, nobody questions that.



PP here. Thanks for your thoughts.

Anyone watch/listen to his speech in OH yesterday? I feel bad for all the voters that buy into his promises to bring back all the manufacturing jobs (and not just the old ones, better greater jobs!). I hope they start asking him questions of how exactly he plans to fulfull that promise.

He has no idea what he might unleash in this current climate, nor does he care. One of the principal features that has sustained us over the past 250 years (1861-65 excepted) and differentiates American/Western democracy from the unstable imitation seen in third world banana republics is a smooth transfer of power. The loser concedes and life moves on, as opposed to sparking mass civil unrest and/or attempting a coup. American politics has been going down the toilet since the mid '90s but at least we've maintained this one standard so far. If that pillar gets knocked loose, we should all be very afraid of what might happen.


A freaking men. I think that's why the concern over the degraded level of political discourse. When you can't even come to a debate stage and offer up a modicum of respect for the other side, it's incredibly dangerous.
