With a bad mic and all.
He continues to draw huge crowds which is quite astounding. Could be that Pensacola has a low threshold for excitement too. A most forgettable place IMO.

I think it has more to do with the fact that his supporters really don't care what he is saying just as long as he says it angry and loud.

If his supporters really cared about what he is saying they would be pressing him for some feasible policies instead of the garbage he is throwing at them.

They are possibly fed up with feasible policies, having heard the same from
many past failures.

Maybe..... But saying you are going to build a wall on the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it sounds like something that was thought up by a sixth grader.

But then.... Considering who his supporters are..... That might just appeal to their sixth grade mentality.

Politicians of all stripes say a lot of crap.

Some say one thing today and tomorrow say the opposite and college grads
still vote for the lying sonnabitches.

Actually, it's fourth grade.

http://onpolitics.usatoday.com/2015/...h-grade-level/

The billionaire Donald Trump, for instance, talks to voters in a way that can be understood by a fourth-grader and tops the Republican polls. Retired pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson — a guy who has separated conjoined twins, for crying out loud! — speaks at the sixth-grade level. He ranks No. 2 in many Republican polls.

Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore, meanwhile, used among the fanciest language in the Republican field, The Globe found. A 10th-grader can comprehend his vocabulary and syntax, and yet he ranks so low in the polls that CNN didn’t invite him the join the undercard debate last month.

In all seriousness, there are many factors that contribute to a candidate’s success. But The Globe analysis is fun to ponder. Experts don’t seem surprised by the results. In the Twitter and soundbite age, candidates need to communicate in short bursts to get our attention. (Trump excels at that: “I’m really rich.” His critics are either “dumb,” “morons” or “losers.”)

Among Democrats, Hillary Clinton’s speeches can be understood by eighth-graders. Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ exhortations to rein in Wall Street hit a higher level — high-school sophomores, The Globe’s Matt Viser reports.

The Globe used the so-called Flesch-Kincaid readability test, which analyzes word choice and sentence structure to produce grade-level rankings of speech.

Trump's supporters are anti-establishment. They really are not into policies or reality, it's a fantasy. Sort of like people cheering in movies. They absolutely hate the establishment and hate has a way of blinding reality. With Ted Cruz's recent foibles, I expect Trump's support to grow even more.

Hahahahahahhaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

When this thread was started 7 months ago that in Mid January of 2016 the Trumpster would be sportin a 15 point lead over his nearest contender for the Republican nomination?

Not me. Back then I would have predicted that the Jebster would be walking away with it by now. Instead, he's back in 5th place polling at 5%, some 30 points behind Trump.

It's like a pack of rabid weasels have taken over the GOP and 'Roadkill' Jeb? is stuck in the front grill of Freightliner headed for Kennebunkport.
