If Trump didn't have crazy batshit insane policy views I would be loving this guy. The stuff he has been saying about the GOP establishment and the nature of lobbyist and super PAC controlled politicians has actually been pretty dead on, he seems more blunt and on point about this stuff than most Democrstic politicians lately.
Too bad he is fucking crazy about everything else and is going to self-implode before the primaries begin. The little bits of clarity that seep through are actually refreshing to see coming from a candidate.
He bashed a war hero and any other veteran whoever was a POW, and his numbers went up. I honestly don't know what else he could say to implode at this point.
I think of it like this: Most people, even republicans, are sick of the elitist, lifetime politicians who take money from lobbyists. Trump clearly isn't that guy. Even though he's ultra-rich, republicans feel like they can relate to him on that level. As of now, it's working. We'll see how it goes after the debates, but this type of statement is making him MORE popular. The debates will be full of him bashing other politicians and making these exact type of statements. I wouldn't be shocked at all to see his numbers actually rise after the debate.
The guy whose numbers I expect to fall is Ben Carson. He has had a respectable career, but he can't help himself in saying something incredibly stupid when he gets the chance. I honestly wonder if he'll go with a simple "Bash Obama every chance I get" technique.
