Re: Donald Trump, Under Fire, Defends Call to Block Muslims
This is what Trump has been doing from day! He knows how to play the media game better than any current candidate in the field today. He makes some wild statement and waits for the explosion then starts the morning show tour sucking up all the oxygen from every other candidate. Then for 3 or 4 days that's all you hear about. As things calm down it starts again. I predict Trump will be the republican nominee or will run third party which will guarantee Hillary a win unless she is charged in the e-mail issue which I don't see AG Lynch going the direction.
There are two reasons I think Trump is where he is.
1. 7 years of the Obama administration.
2. A complete distrust/upset with the Republican party (establishment) by many republican voters.
If not for this Trump would have been out of the race in the first month.
One last thing I think Trump will see a rise in the Presidential polls taken after the latest blow up.
Stand by for the next blow up! This is Trump's game plan.

I think trump is doing well because he has tapped into fear. Fear of Mexicans. Fear of Muslims.
Trump is also the creation of two decades worth of the republican establishment cynically feeding the crazies in their party with all sorts of pandering in the primaries, cable, and talk radio.. They shake these people down for money and support, then like Lucy yanking the football from Charlie Brown, the adults take over and the crazy ideas are never enacted.
This cycle the establishment lost control of their creature.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

These poor people. I understand frustration.
But, getting back to my anger essay:
Vote in anger. Repent at leisure.

Trump has said so many controversial things and stirred up a hornets nest during his presidential primary run.
But when someone uses a Nazi/Hitler analogy? Millions of Jews gassed? The Holocaust?
Like you said a glossy spread........
