I admit it. what about yourself? r u "perfect"? whatever Govt they all "needs people in charge who are hard nosed, clear thinking individuals free of all the minority pressure group think" . ..... yet this is precisely what Trump has used to gain his high profile. have you listened to his muddle-headed speeches (devoid of clear thinking), his rants demonising others and causing a mass "group think". Trump has taken a minority and turned it into a majority with his hatred. he's tapped into a rich source of anger, disaffection and fear and turned it to his advantage.

Redolent of how Hitler captured the same disaffected cohort of German minds and look how the disaffected were rewarded for their loyalty and vote. And the Trump supporters think he actually cares about their pathetic little lives - cannon fodder by any other name.
