I disagree. I think he destroys the partisan divide that both parties are doing their best to maintain.
Also, "Shark Tank" has a few viewers.

Go ahead & insult like "everybody else." You will just maintain your perfect track record of being wrong.

I guess truth hurts:

If I asked you what most defines Donald Trump supporters, what would you say? They’re white? They’re poor? They’re uneducated?

You’d be wrong.

In fact, I’ve found a single statistically significant variable predicts whether a voter supports Trump—and it’s not race, income or education levels: It’s authoritarianism.

Wrong. It is a question for you, and you evaded it.

Let's recap. You think I'm a useless drone or something like. It's actually a silly opinion from a person of warped judgement, who also has very little knowledge of who I am and what I do, but never mind all that.

The question for you: what does it matter to you or anyone if I'm a useless drone or not?

Don't lump me in with all those gun grabbing libtards.

I've gone on record plenty of times saying that the Trumpster is my #2 choice after Bernie.

And as for that Head Mackerel Snapper, he can go fuck himself.

RIGHT! Thank-you Finn, and Politico!

We do have a paradox: DJ is an authoritarian who goes around saying he's an anarchist. Just shows he's an authoritarian, but not a follower. So he's all for Trump, or Sheriff Joe, coming down on people he doesn't like. But he's an anarchist when it comes to anyone coming down on him, that's all.

A very interesting thread is being derailed by stupid personal attacks.

If it's any consolation, aren't both the Pope and Trump authoritarians? Or would the Pope have made this comment if Trump was Catholic? And the real question is, does the Pope support illegal immigration?

[Pio1980]

I think the comment was general and Trump's proclaimed religion or religiosity was incidental. As far as illegal immigration goes, his interest in the immigrants is more likely their treatment and welfare on either side of the border being his concern, rather than the legalities of migration. The wall around the Vatican City state is a medevial historical artifact and not related to this discussion other than as a false equivalency.

You have a lot of nerve bringing common sense to this conversation. 😉

No common sense in that. The Pope is a Catholic envangelist. He wants to populate the most powerful, most significant country with more Catholics.
