OMG this has to be the wildest primary season. RINO'S are running for Extra Strength Immodium AD as I post this thread.
Kick it up notches unknown! Go Donny! Go Donny!
First big post-debate poll shows Donald Trump GAINED 7 points and sits at 32 Daily Mail Online
First major post-debate poll shows Trump GAINED 7 points from the previous week and has backing of 32 per cent of Republicans and GOP-leaning independents
- Stunning result after Trump attracted criticism over debate performance on Thursday
- Trump has 32 per cent nationally among registered Republicans and independents who say they lean to the right
- No one is anywhere near The Donald, with Jeb Bush in second place at just 11 per cent
- Poll supervised by former Washington Post journalist and shows no one else in double digits
A couple of years ago I read a book by Chris Hedges. In it, at one point he made a declarative statement which said that humans were essentially irrational beings. It really jumped out at me, in part, because over the years I had plenty of experiences with people doing things that seemed completely irrational to me.
Recently, the Greek people took to the streets to celebrate the defeat of a compromise that would have prevented Greece from going over a financial cliff. How nuts are people collectively when they're celebrating the defeat of something that would have essentially saved them from ruination?
But it's not as if this is an isolated incident. Whether it's individuals or groups, people have a tendency to view the world irrationally.
So here we are: Donald Trump is turning the early stages of the GOP nomination process into a mockery of anything serious by making it look like a circus sideshow. He vilifies everyone and behaves like a petulant and truculent child, and conservatives are singing his praises.
In and of itself, this spectacle may very well convince a lot of voters that conservatives are not fit to govern, and conservatives will have nobody to blame but themselves.
