I Am Going to Say Something Controversial

[quote]From an American's perspective, here is why Donald Trump was chosen to lead the Republican Party, instead of some other contender? What some Americans see in DT that make him appear as the best option. [NOW with no censorship][/quote]

D. Trump offers those who feel they have been ignored and socially mistreated a way to strike back without risking anything. They hide behind a loudmouth who has given them the illusion he represents them. He offers simple solution-solution sounding easy-to-remember words and catch-phrases that (some) people find comforting (build a wall, wipe out ISIS, make things better, win, etc.). There's a reason why the polls suggest that those with less education seem obsessively drawn to him. Let's face it, all of the candidates left standing and the parties they represent have serious flaws (more so than candidates from prior election cycles). But, in addition to representing the (new) Republican party also represents the very worst in each of us.

You're ignoring reality because you can't comprehend it You apparently believe everything the left tells you. I speak of facts, but you ignore facts. Hillary says the refugees will be vetted, yet it's impossible for anyone to detect a record that doesnt exist. The only way they could actually be vetted is with magic powers, not gonna happen. You did seem to ignore the fact that the refugees are causing problems in other countries, Germany's a mess! Since you're obviously very limited in intelligence, you may not be able to grasp the job plan. The U.S. has had a self imposed tarrif problem for decades. We don't charge the tarrifs everyone else does so it's cheaper to have work sent out to other countries. Trump wants to repair that problem, so it makes financial sense once again to buy products made in the U.S. Have some more kool aid!
