Different discussion points on the same candidate. I know you don't want to be reminded of how your "Party" has devolved into a xenophobic mass of non-conservatives, but its fun for me.
Well Jarod, if you're really interested in understanding Trumpomania ignore what most of the media has to say about it because they're clueless. Worse than clueless, actually. The media [and the establishment] wants people to believe Trump supporters are ignorant xenophobes because no one wants to be labeled as one. The idea being, they will abandon Trump for, a safer, more politically correct candidate that voters won't be embarrassed to say they support at the cocktail party or whatever.
The problem with their narrative, is it's simplistic. If Trump never uttered a word about Muslims or Mexicans he would be still be leading the Republican race; and he would still be attracting independents and democrats, because he is seen as an alternative to the status quo in Washington. Republicans voters just don't want Jeb Bush, and they still wouldn't, even if they weren't 'xenophobes' or whatever the PC slur of the day is.
The reason they don't, is because with Jeb in the WH it would be business as usual. Which translates into the left getting most of what they want. Republicans, conservatives especially, are sick of it and they want change, real change. And even many social conservatives are willing to compromise on their values and support Trump inspite of the fact he doesn't represent some of those values.
The danger in this [if your the DNC] is that Trumps appeal can begin to cross party lines, precisely because, he's not really a conservative: or especially not a social conservative, which is the left's embodiment of everything that is evil and profane in their upside down, black is white little world.
So, they double-down on xenophobe rhetoric. Because it's all they got. If you're really interested in understanding it, there it is.
If not, you can continue to be one of their message board minions that parrots the party line.
