You are right though they are d/bags. But you can't seriously think those idiots were funny though. It was like a bammer pep rally. Same class of people. Same 5th grade logic.
"The wall. He gonna build us a wall. Atsa main one we like...therrrr he goes. Lyin. Lyin Ted errrbody!"
It's seriously grade school level content. And sorry but that's most of his electorate. The socially conservative, but economically liberal/depressed sect of the GOP is now rearing its head. I think someone else mentioned something along these lines a month or two ago in another thread. I think maybe Wes. That this sect of the GOP that likes trump for the most part have simply voted GOP most of their lives due to momma, my shotgun and my bible. They talk of "don't tread on me" and "govt is the issue" but are glad to take their assistance from govt.
We needed Ford (over Reagan at the convention in 76) losing to Carter to get Reagan. So be it this year too.
Yeah. I thought the interaction was funny. Those two clowns were so deadpan and their sense of timing was good. It made me laugh and would have done so if it had been anybody else. Ted, the master debater, clearly lost that battle. I saw the humor of that one thing.
As for the overall? You're clearly overthinking it. The elitist tone you're taking toward "his electorate" -- which is at this point millions and millions strong (half the country or so) -- only strengthens his movement. The things I've seen said in this forum made me more determined to vote for him just because of the condescending attitude with which it was delivered. I don't appreciate being branded a "knuckle dragger" because I've reviewed all the candidates, examined their respective positions, evaluated the possibility that they could win and decided that we could be a hell of a lot worse off (Hillary, Bernie, Jeb) than under Trump or Cruz. But I'm an "uneducated moron" because I'm not railing against Trump? Pfffftt.
People voted for Obama because he allegedly represented change. Yeah. Change into something shittier and more European. The people who let that happen by sitting on their hands have seen enough. They want something different. Trump, for all his faults, represents that. Whether it's real or imagined no longer matters. It's the image he presents. I've said it a hundred times. I figured out a long time ago that whatever he is, he's the only person in the race who can actually deny Clinton. And that's what I want.
