I think Trump is popular because the powers that be want it that way

You have to make hard decisions and make enemies to be an effective leader.

After seeing this, I'm shocked he didn't adopt his own pet Nigger:
Rand Paul leaves the campaign trail for eye surgeries in Haiti

...
Donald Trump is popular since he's the only Alpha male running. We haven't had an unapologetic person run for any office in a very long time.

I agree. Rand on a positions basis is the most reasonable, but he really is still controlled by political correctness. Trump is not controlled by it, but does give it some recognition. We really have no choices as usual.

They're both bagelmunchers to the core.

I wouldn't bet on any candidate that doesn't have his own money. Those that aren't already really rich like Trump, can and will be bought.

I'm just in this race for the 'wall' and shipping the illegal's back where they came from.

Destroying people through the media calling them bigots is a tried and true formula. The media doesn't ignore it's enemies, it destroys them.

This is what they attempted to do to Trump. The reason they gave him so much attention about calling immigrants rapists, building a wall, call for a muslim ban, saying we should take out the family members of isis, etc, would have destroyed most politicians.

Here's what has changed though. The conservative movement has been so successfully directed for so long that pressure has built up over decades. Illegal immigration is a primary example of this. No one wanted it, but the leaders pushed it forward nevertheless. There comes a tipping point where people completely abandon the established leaders though.

The fact that the pressure has built up for so long is why we have a Trump. If they had simply released a little bit of pressure over time, they could have controlled it for much longer, however their agenda would have made slower progress.

edit:

Just found this article which is saying basically what I just said:

JOY REID: There really is this sense, as Bruce Bartlett told me, that for 30 or 40 years you've had the elites of the Republican party amass a large enough coalition to pass the things that the elites wanted. Namely low taxes for themselves and deregulation for their businesses. And they assembled a large enough coalition by essentially ceding blue collared white voters everything from evangelicalism and supporting them in terms of their religious faith and promising them that they would legislate around that. Promising them that they would legislate around social issues that were important to them. Promising them that they would beat back the creeping liberalizing of the culture.

By feeding them even with their deep down gut feelings that there was something really inherently wrong with Barack Obama. To be able to hold that together with the help of the entertainment complex that is part of the conservative movement, with the help of movement conservatives. Immigration is where the bargain just broke down. And that base, the base of the party is no longer willing to go along with any part of the elite. Not the movement conservatives. Not the money elite part of the party. They're just not willing to go along with it. Immigration was the deal-breaker and they are gone. They cannot be brought back into the tent. Not even by the mighty National Review. None of the people who are going to Trump are going to read that. They are not going to listen to those people. They are not listening.

Trump is smart though. He uses Jews for his own gain. He knows how they think and how to manipulate them expertly.

He married off his kids to Jews so they'd stay in power and have bright futures.

The man is a fucking genius.

Yes and he's a Jew, too. Quit looking for heroes to worship. Voting will not get us out of this mess.

The truth about Donald Trump
By Erick Erickson Published January 19, 2016 FoxNews.com

Editor's note: The following column originally appeared on The Resurgent.
I like him personally. I’ve been to his office. I’ve observed him privately dealing with his staff and people coming inside his building. He is personally, when the cameras are turned off, an incredibly gracious person. I know many people who do not believe that because all they see is the public Trump, but when the lights are down, the cameras are turned off, and Donald Trump, not “The Donald”, is present, he’s a good guy.

Not only that, but as I’ve mentioned before, Trump Hotels are some of the best I’ve ever stayed in. I try never to miss an opportunity to stay in the Trump Chicago and the Trump Hotel on Central Park has generated fond memories for my family.

Donald Trump is not my cup of tea as a candidate. I’m more into candidates who try to lift us to the better angels of ourselves and I do not think his campaign is doing that right now. Before I started writing about politics, I worked in politics. As a rule of thumb, I think anger burns out and it is tough to sustain over time. If Donald Trump really has become a conservative, I take St. Paul to heart that we should not put new converts in charge. He needs some time helping the movement before he leads the movement.

At the same time, so many of us, myself included, have been wrong about Trump’s appeal. I have tried to steer clear of the rank condescension towards Trump supporters because a lot of people have legitimate grievances against the government and Trump resonates with them.

Whether you think Trump is an opportunist or not is irrelevant. All politicians are. Trump is a businessman who saw an opportunity and took it. He has, in the process, done several commendable things.

First, he exposed the consultant class of the GOP as profiteering charlatans. They have been unable to come up with a strategy to stop Donald Trump, build up the establishment candidates, or do anything other than make a mint off losing candidates. Trump’s campaign is, compared to the consultant class in D.C., an island of misfit toys and those misfit toys are kicking the GOP’s ass.

Second, Trump has exposed just how much contempt the GOP Establishment has for conservatives. As we get closer and closer to Iowa, the very consultants Trump has been crushing are now openly flirting with Trump as an alternative to Cruz. Their reasoning, which they are admitting in public, is that they see Trump as an opportunist and they fear and loath Ted Cruz because he is too principled. These are stunning admissions from a group of people who’ve paid for their beach houses by wooing conservatives to give them money for decades.

Third, Trump has again blown the door off the idea that Super PACs are a cure all for Republicans. They are not. The media and political left want to crack down on Super PACs and stop money from flowing into politics. After this year, the political left should be begging Republican donors to create Super PACs.

Fourth, Trump has shown that Republican donors continue to be suckers. Exactly how much money have these donors poured into losing causes that scratch their personal itches and no others? Donald Trump is looked down on by a lot of these Republican donors and he has been kicking the butts of the very men and efforts they have funded. Republican donors have less and less in common with Republican voters and Trump’s candidacy has not only exposed that, but also shown that the voters can still best the donors.

Fifth, Donald Trump has finally opened people’s eyes to the dissatisfaction with Washington, D.C. on a bipartisan basis. Donald Trump’s candidacy would never have occurred if people were happy with the status quo. What the people see is a Washington elite now rallying to preserve their status quo. The voters have taken to Trump because he is an outsider and because he conveys a contempt of Washington that the voters have long had and the press has long ignored. Much of the media still refuses to take Donald Trump seriously, as do many Republicans. But a third of Republican voters take him very seriously and a smart businessman whose army is carrying torches and pitchforks will not so easily accommodate a Washington political class thinking it can co-opt Donald Trump.

I would prefer Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio to Donald Trump. I want a conservative President and, should Trump genuinely be converted to the principles of Hayek, Friedman, Kirk, etc., I think he needs time in the trenches of the movement to show his conversion sticks.

But I would gladly vote for Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton or any other Democrat. He has bested the consultant class at its own game for now and the only one giving him a run for his money is Ted Cruz who, like Trump, has refused to use the D.C. political class to advance in the field.

Whether Trump makes it out of Iowa the winner or not, Republicans will owe Trump thanks for exposing their fault lines and flaws and showing just how inept, corrupt, and out to lunch the Washington Republican consultant class has become.
