1. His voters love offensive

They are filled with hate generated by years of FOX propaganda, right wing hate speech and government broth to a stand still by the republicans to prove their hate is just.

Trump just fulfills the hate they have filled their minds and hearts. Hate is not natural, it is learned.

You know as one who thinks he's better than everyone else, he has to have some disregard for those that do all of his manual labor. When that happens, that will be the real nail in his coffin.

He only got about 40% of Repubs, right? So that's 40% of 35%.

7. Trump can say what he wants to who he wants

And there is not a damn thing anybody is going to do to stop him between now and November and every time he does it is will be broadcast to the nation on all major news outlets.

I mean look at the list:

Mexicans are rapist
Bill Clinton is a rapist
Hilary Clinton enable a rapist
Ted Cruz's dad help kill Kennedy
John McCain isn't a hero
American Muslims were cheering 9/11
Mock a disable reporter
Say Megyn Kelly was on her period

And the list goes on. He is only going to get worse.

Claims the sacrifices he's made are on par with the sacrifice of losing a son in a war.

How is that ok with his base?

SMH.

Here's something so many liberals don't catch.

Conservatives, as a rule, don't care about who is offended or why because it's a personal reaction. You can't MAKE another person offended, another person can simply 'get offended'. It's part of that personal responsibility thing - you're supposed to deal with it yourself.

So no, it makes literally no difference whatsoever who is 'offended' to them. You can't just celebrity spokesperson someone who is offended and them all go "Oh, well now see, that's just too far now!" because they don't care who is offended EVER (unless it's them, of course, and then they expect to 'deal with it themselves', usually with some form of implied violence).

or better yet, better than Jesus, yes indeed, that might land with a big thud and blow a big hole in his evangelical following.

"Me, I'm just like that Jesus guy, better. I mean, I'm HUUGE. And think about it, the Romans probably had a good reason to execute him. I mean, who gets executed? Criminals, right? Now me, I've never been arrested. That right there, believe me, makes me more moral than Jesus. Better, like I said. I mean, who believes crap like that anyway: 'Blessed are the meek.' Are you kidding me?..."

And so on.

You know deep down that's what he believes. If he could only be goaded into actually saying it...
