lol: Donald Trump Beating Entire GOP Field By 9 Points

Exactly. Good post.

Quote from 1prometheus:

U guys who discount him are ignoring the fact that Trump DOES have an actual message, which is quite simply: Economic nationalism.

-Rebuild American Industry
-Negotiate trade deals that support domestic production
-By doing so, put Americans back to work in productive jobs
-Tap our domestic energy and free up the economy
-Trump has been a big critic of our foreign war-mongering, which is very appealing to many conservatives who are sick of our international, budget busting adventures that have only caused us to lose status in the world.
-Get the border under control (completely locked down, end the border anarchy) while also offering long term residents who came here legally a path to citizenship.
-encourage domestic investment, production, and entrepreneurship.

I think this is a powerful message that many find appealing.

Americans are sick of America as a parasitic, finance/legal based economy where are long term productive capacity is shipped offshore for the benefit of short term arbitrage profits, and the only sophisticated goods we manufacture are military hardware.

Many Americans want a return of those industries that originally made us great to return home and make us great again. If we do it while maintaining environmental standards we will be benefiting the entire world.

Conservatives are also attracted to Trumps ability to speak his mind. Right or wrong, he does not come across as a wuss who bows down to the media elite, which puts him head and shoulders above the other republican candidates.


Edit: Honestly i think trump's message will appeal not only to conservatives, but also "Blue collar" democrats which at this point have been completely SOLD OUT by the supposedly "pro-worker" (in reality only pro-federal government worker and financial sector) democrat party .

Everyone wants those things, more or less, the devil is in the details. All I've heard from Trump (of course, he's a merchant), and even taking it merely as strategy, will do nothing but start a trade war. So it's guaranteed that big money will either block him or coopt him, because trade is where they make their money.
 
Quote from Gabfly1:

You could say something reasonably similar about a number of GOP candidates. Palin and Bachmann are great for the Democrats, as are eye of Newt and some other hatchlings.

I knew many republicans were loony for their support for loons like Palin and Bachmann,but at least Palin and Bachmann has never had far left views or ever supported lefties like Shumer, Weiner and Rham

I really wonder what these people believe in

Good point.
 
This is correctly interpreted as a plea by a leftist to not support Trump. Trump supported Rham because he needed building permits in downtown Chicago to build his new Trump Tower. He was paying for a service. Nothing more, nothing less. It's simply how business is done in Chicago. Not unlike Moscow.

Start a trade war? Do not make me laugh. China puts 10,000 restrictions on American companies which wish to either invest or do business in China. China's trade policy is deliberate in its desire to:

-keep Chinese assets in the hands of china/Chinese
-ensure Chinese companies dominate domestic (Chinese) markets
-Transfer as much American technology and "know how" to china as possible while making it more difficult for us to sell many goods directly to china.

There IS CURRENTLY a trade war, except America has for quite some time had leaders who refuse to acknowledge it, which is a big reason why more Americans work for govt instead of productive industry.

Who is the PRODUCER matters, as power has always shifted eventually to the net producer. This is why arbitrage profits are not, and cannot, be the exclusive determinant of economic policy if a country wishes to stay strong (and not fall to failed empire/turd world status). Replacing production with a series of financial bubbles is NOT A LONG TERM SOLUTION.
