Fox News, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, The Tea Party, Alex Jones, Ted Cruz, and now Trump to name but a few. All of them preach the same damn message. It's the government's fault. It's the democrats' fault. It's the immigrants' fault. It's the liberal media's fault. It's those social services fault. It's the minorities' fault. Etc.

Fox News is almost laughable to be honest. They all look like plastic super models trying to understand politics but failing to do so. I would happily punch this man right in his face. |

I'm reminded of the lyrics to the song The Fletcher Memorial Home off of Floyd's The Final Cut. Just substitute Fox news personalities for the politicians.
And they can appear to themselves every day on closed circuit t.v. to make sure they're still real it's the only connection they feel "ladies and gentlemen, please welcome reagan and haig mr. begin and friend mrs. thatcher and paisley mr. brezhnev and party the ghost of mccarthy the memories of nixon and now adding colour a group of anonymous latin american meat packing glitterati" did they expect us to treat them with any respect they can polish their medals and sharpen their smiles, and amuse themselves playing games for a while boom boom, bang bang, lie down you're dead safe in the permanent gaze of a cold glass eye with their favourite toys they'll be good girls and boys in the fletcher memorial home for colonial wasters of life and limb is everyone in? are you having a nice time? now the final solution can be applied

The western world has been on the Classical liberal train since the Reagan/Thatcher years, Richard Nixon was more left wing than Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. Its been killing the wages of the working class and they're screaming to get off, and for better or worse, that is why they are flocking to Trump, he's offering them an out, whether it is sincere or not. |

Obama has done his best even though the house GOP leader is quoted as saying on day one of his 1st term that it was the top priority of the Republican party to insure that he'd be a one term president - along with him having to try to govern while 75% of his presidency has been with a GOP led house and senate. People are flocking to Trump because of their anti-Dem hate and their gullibility to the GOP and Trump's strategy: Promise to make things better while blaming everyone except the White GOP base. Anyone with half a brain can see through that ****. Unfortunately a large percentage of the US populace is buying his snake oil. It has absolutely nothing to do with your supposed Liberal Train.

Choosing between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is like having to choose between a rotten apple and a rotten orange, but Trump will move the Republican Party further to the left towards Nixon, while Hillary will move the Democrat Party further to the right. Both Hillary and Trump have the lowest popularity ratings of any Presidential candidate. They're both loathed and will most likely not win a second term. Trump isn't the real threat. The real threat comes in 4 years when something like a Rubio/Kasich ticket comes along. Once the Republican Party starts to successfully court a large portion of the Hispanic Vote like Bush did, its game over for 8 years. |

The angry Wonder Bread White Americans are slowly dying off and the Asian, Black, Muslim, and Hispanics are making up more and more of the vote with each passing year. ****, even Texas is starting to shift away from red towards blue. The GOP is completely broken except for a base that loves Jesus, their guns, and hates minorities and social services. Should toss in the greedy rich folks too but even the Koch brothers have avoided Trump like the plague this cycle.
