Donald Trump winner of Nevada!

[9erempiree]

This is a dominant run.

The projections is that he received 60% all across the board.

United We Stand. Divided We Fall.

#MAGA

[Im Still Ballin]

Good win!

[9erempiree]

CNN reported it as one of the most dominant run in history.

[Nick Young]

This is reminding me of Mamba's streak of 40 points in 9 consecutive games.

It is really amazing what Trump is doing without much organization and almost nothing in paid advertising. His name ID, demagoguery and a complacent media have brought him this far with a clueless plurality of GOP voters ready to take him to the nomination if Cruz refuses to drop out.

I think campaigns will be changed forever after this. He's basically proved that any big celebrity can compete with real politicians now :roll:

AP said that Nevada voters are the angriest they have seen so far.

Nevada was one of states hit hardest by the housing bubble.

By 2011, they had 170,000 abandoned houses sitting empty.

Their unemployment rate is still 2 points higher than the average.

I don't think so.

Trump is on another level and has been asked since he was in his early 30's if he would run for President.

It was his calling before he became famous.

He rebuilt New York and helped develop it to what it is today. People like people with vision and real estate developers are visionaries.

Visionaries make great Presidents.

How stupid do you have to be not to recognise that people are extremely fed up with the political establishment? Just look at the turnout, look at the numbers.

I don't think you understand because I don't think you've ever had a job (you act like a 5 year old), and so you don't appreciate how things like this:


https://www.conservativereview.com/commentary/2016/02/obama-doj-throws-fired-socal-edison-workers-under-bus

Piss people off.

Yeah, but I suppose the old ignorant catch-all of 'prejudice' and 'bigotry' explains it all. No grievances to be seen...Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump are mere aberrations.

:rolleyes:

Dumbass.

The problem is that the left have been allowed to frame the extreme as being normal. These lunatics actually believe that deporting illegals is an extreme position. Deporting illegals is about as extreme as putting criminals in prison. Not deporting illegals is the extreme position. Sanctuary cities is the extreme position. The law not applying to people if they happen to be Latino or Muslim is the extreme position.

Rational people need to stridently make their case and laugh the pathetic retorts of "racist", "bigot" and "fascist" for the worthless, empty tactics of desperate deflection that they are. These people have held the floor unchallenged for too long.

[Dresta]

What I find amusing is that so much contempt is thrown the way of Trump supporters by Democratic partisans, and yet the best their party can manage is Hilary, the war-criminal, crook and psychopath (and a socialist that has no shot of beating her). This is when they actually had candidates as solid as Jim Webb, who is both cultured and educated, and has a track record of honesty and integrity (a rare thing in politics), not to mention courage--make way for Hilary, Jim! We need a woman to elect, no matter how reprehensible!

I mean just compare this guy to Hilary:

http://www.thenation.com/article/why-jim-webb-could-be-hillary-clintons-worst-nightmare/

It's no contest. But actual substance and getting things right doesn't seem to matter any more.

Instead, it's become all about identity politics and cheap rhetoric. Both political parties are a complete joke, and it seems that at least Republican voters are more aware of that fact than Democrat voters, who still have faith in their corrupted establishment.

I bet there are a lot of democrat politicians who are kicking themselves for not entering the race. They had no idea what kind of tomato can candidate Hillary is.

Elizabeth Warren would have easily beat Hillary and Sanders. She has a lot of support and would have been a good trustworthy alternative to Hillary. Hillary is not trustworthy like Warren. I was surprised to hear her turn it down last summer - I suppose she wishes she had been in the race. If Hillary wins or loses this election, I suspect Warren will be running in 2020.

Until that whole lying about being a Native American thing would have come up and sank her campaign.

[BoutPractice]

Warren definitely should've run.

She had the right message for this election cycle (Sanders is winning on message, it's the rest that's holding him back), a similar independent appeal to Sanders (used to be a Republican) but without the socialist distraction, and unlike Sanders her supporters couldn't be accused of being "bros" standing in the way of history.

I'm not sure she would've been able to fire up crowds and raise small donor money in quite the same way, but I guess we'll never find out...

One thing is sure: if Clinton ends up losing to Trump, there will be plenty of Democrats to blame for thinking "inevitability" was the right strategy. They shouldn't have cleared the way, it should've been competitive from the start.

Imagine if Bernie can get Warren as the VP? I think he should try to get her on board as VP. Could drank extra votes..

Warren isn't as popular as "progressives" think. She's a niche product. She's like the democrat Rand Paul.

She can draw independents though. That is what Bernie needs more of. I believe something like 40% of American citizens are independents this election, which is the most ever. If he can draw just half of them, he can take down Hillary.

NumberSix > Rhetorically she's a Teddy Roosevelt Republican... and she actually walks the walk.

Her defining theme (fighting against oligarchy and corruption) has such broad appeal that both the Republican frontrunner and the Democratic runner-up have been able to ride it to primary success.

She's identified with the sort of fights that a broad majority wants their representatives to fight, as opposed to the traditional partisan "wedge" issues.

[Dresta]

She's a left-wing Harvard academic--I really don't think they have as much of a broad appeal as you think. Jim Webb, on the other hand, does: he appeals to people at the Nation and would also appeal to many Republicans.

Has a proven track record as a man of action too, rather than just someone who talks a good game.

I'd vote for him.

[Dresta]

One has to wonder if Trump doesn't have a broader appeal than most people think if even the Guardian are talking sympathetically about him, and yes, the sense of grievance felt by his supporters:


And though establishment toffs like to issue signifying snorts about Trump voters being predominantly “poorly educated”, in the minutes after the caucus even CNN started to come around to the most elusive explanation: Trump’s popularity isn’t about his supporters’ education, their religion or the policies they’d like to see enacted. Trump is popular because of his supporters’ anger.

Anger isn’t something that Beltway pundits recognize, let alone understand because everyone employed in media or in politics in and around Washington DC is pretty well off. Even ink-stained wretches pull down five-figures – and, unlike everywhere else in America, since journalism is built on documenting nonsense, there’s some real job security in documenting Washington. Television people fare even better, because TV money is stupid money. Thinktank malefactors reap great sums from the aggrieved heartland or from industries looking to build a canon of falsified data, and Congress and the attendant lobbying is a helluva racket.

Anger is pretty easy to miss when it’s something pretty difficult to feel. When you sit at the center of the world and are unlikely to ever lack for the basic materials of self-sufficiency, the idea of blind, gnawing resentment – let alone of feeding that resentment even with irrational aims – is ineluctably beyond your ken.

It’s harder still to understand that there are millions of people in America whose ambitions for a life of steadily improving conditions cratered sometime around nine years ago and have never recovered. If you can hardly imagine that you could follow the Horatio Alger script to the letter and still find yourself sinking in quicksand, you’re never going to understand why someone would be so contemptuous of the pieties of a system that only pays attention to you when doing soft-focus interviews in search of a journalism award or a campaign ad.
There’s a great temptation to fume at the emptiness and banality of Trump’s statements and at the absence of traditional policy plans; it’s almost irresistible to seek some grander explanation for his success than that people like him.

But you don’t need some grand overarching political science theory. There are millions of miserable people in America who know exactly who engineered the shattering of their worlds, and Trump isn’t one of those people – and, with the exception of Bernie Sanders, everyone else in the field is running on the basis of their experience being one of those people.

When you are abused and bullied enough, anyone willing to beat up or burn down whomever put you in that position is your friend. Even a bully can be a hero if he targets others bullies – and that is, more or less, what Trump has done since day one.

As tacky and thuggish as it might be, Trump plays the hero to people that the wise warriors of the system have abandoned. He’s the ultimate Gary Stu character: a billionaire beholden to no one and able to abuse every disingenuous and pettifogging remora latched headfirst on the nation and sucking upward.

And as long as people can enjoy the elbow-throwing wish-fulfillment of watching him in action, most of the rest doesn’t matter to them – not the bombast, not the war-mongering, not the unfeasibility of even his signature promises and certainly not the consequences if he keeps them. If the system is already so broken that it abandoned you, its preservation is not your concern. Hell, burning it down might be what you want most.

Anger has a clarity all its own. It renders most detail extraneous, and it animates like nothing else. It is not to be underestimated, and, at this point, we will probably have to wait until November to find out if it truly has been.

And the more establishment pundits dismiss the fact that these people have very legitimate reasons to feel aggrieved, the more they encourage people to support him.

Good article.

I think what I noticed about Trump supporters is their ability to reason and explain what they like and dislike about what's going on with the country.

When I talk to liberals and democrat supporters, they don't reason or rationalize very well.

I hate to use ISH as an example but even on this site, you have liberals calling us racist and bigots while we try to reason with them.

Their typical response is.....

A lot of the Hilary supporters haven't posted anything worth talking about or give any reason why their candidate is the best. If you disagree they get all bent out of shape.
