http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/23/politics/donald-trump-shoot-somebody-support/index.htmlThis is very revealing of what kind of person supports not only Donald Trump, but anybody on that side of the game.

Sure, Trump loves the attention and adulation. But is he just rolling around in imagined adulation here, or is this perhaps a way of sabotaging his own campaign? I have trouble believing Trump actually wants all that magnificent hair turning white and falling out from the inescapable burdens he's headed toward.

What is in the political water these days? Up is down. Black is White. In is Out. Right is Left. Yes is No. Hope is Nope.

He has just insulted all the people who have shown him support.

(38 posts)I've been hammering all the conservofascist bloggers with this line of his, and they still refuse to see how insane this man really is. Saying something like that would get anyone but him arrested on the spot. In the last 10 years of shooting incidents you'd think he'd have some fucking respect for those who were cut down by gun violence... but no.. all Trump is about is himself and his ego...period.

Either that or he really is Hitler. It's one or the other.

(279 posts)Because he is riling up people who are ANGRY that they have to share their country with people who do not look like them. And they're SERIOUS about this anger, it's not a game to them. They're taking him seriously and using his words as an excuse to act out on that anger. LIke you said, Hitler.

I doubt fox will report it. And if they do it will be at like 1 pm and reported once.
But I really want to be wrong on this one.

If any one like Trump says crazy shit on the right they get cheers.
They follow and we think. That is the difference between the two parties.
