Are you really that naive to think that Trump will do all the insane stuff he says he will? Build a wall, deport 11 million souls, go back to Iraq and get the oil, put all the Muslims on a list and keep them out of the USA? What is more important is THAT what you want?

You don't make any sense you love Sanders so much yet you want to vote for someone who is about 180 degrees away from him except in specificity on policy goals.

This is really not a good night for America in that the party of Lincoln is about to nominate a racist for President.

I don't trust any of them to do what they say except for Sanders. Certainly not Hillary. She's in bed with Wall Street. And I don't think Hillary is electable. And there's a good chance that email thing will blow up in her face. The FBI is a very right wing organization. If they have something on her they will most likely do that "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes" thing and wait until after the convention to drop the hammer on her so that the Democrats won't have time to warm anybody else up in the bull pen.

So if it has to be a Republican I'll take my chances with Trump because he is quite frankly the best of the lot. Trump is way more liberal than any of the other Republicans.

I think a lot of Trump supporters don't believe for a minute that he'll do all those outlandish things if elected.

Why do you think it is that they do support him?

Not dumb.

People also support a politician for the things they perceive he/she is against.

E.g. Trade deals which gut our land, open borders, John McCain type foreign intervention.

The choice out there is limited.

They prefer his bullshit to the others.

For example Cruz is mighty scary.

Due to the way South Carolina allocates it's delegates, Trump won all 50 of them with only 33% of the vote.

http://www.kiiitv.com/story/31274267...s-50-delegates

Quote:
Trump is leading the delegate count in the Republican presidential nomination.

The billionaire businessman hauled in all of South Carolina's 50 delegates in Saturday's primary, giving him a total of 67. Sen. Ted Cruz has 11 delegates and Sen. Marco Rubio has 10.

The South Carolina results marked a major disappointment for Cruz, whose path to the nomination requires strong performances across the South. The Texas senator finished well behind Trump in the state known as the gateway to the South - despite Cruz's appeal among evangelical Christians and his southern roots.

Based on the way the state's delegates are apportioned, neither Cruz nor Rubio won any in what is shaping up as a three candidate race.

You have a good point.

But I still think Trump supporters are completely clueless.
