    The reasons the public are flocking to Trump, and this is simply my opinion and view, is that Trump has made it clear he is not accountable to any party or donor. His he is free to speak his mind and if someone disagrees, he has no fear of losing support. Heck, he doesn't even fear the media. It is my opinion that even negative press, is good press?!

    I think the other candidates need to learn something from Trump, and that is the days of politics as usual is over. The public wants someone who will put the nation before the party; donors; and the need to be popular with a corrupt, puppet-making media. If and when one of his peers running for POTUS sees there needs to be a shoot from the hips approach to this job and the future of this nation, then someone with a more polished demeanor will step up and become the true front runner.

    If no one takes a cue from the Donald, then he just may be the new version of "Mr. Smith goes to Washington!"

    He will fade away but for the time being he is saying things that the others are too timid to say.

    The reason the public is flocking to trump is because he's saying what they want to say plain and simple.

    The thing that the other candidates can learn is to stop being politicians and to say what everybody else knows they REALLY want to say.

    True enough , he isn't beholden to anyone. And that's what people want is someone who is authentic...even if his views are for the most part a rehash of FOX News and conservative talk outlets.

    He has learned from his television shows that people like to hate the villain, but they really envy a good villain who says what they want to say.

    He's the GOP's Omorosa. And he may just have come up with a way to win the GOP nomination without spending much of his money.

    A large part of the GOP's white base is angry. And he makes them feel justified in their anger because he's saying what they have been saying.

    Do you even believe that hogwash, Zaac? The Dems are driving whites out of their party and the Dems are just laughable to the average white. No one bores whites more than the Clintons, who learned about the birds and the bees from Bill Cosby.

    Oh well.


    Again, oh well. The GOP is drawing the average white person in then because they are exhibiting the Donald Trump type views that they apparently like.

    Bernie's crazy ain't polling anywhere near where Hillary is.

    Hillary is considered a liar even among Democrats. Out on the stump, Hillary can hardly draw a crowd. She is already hinting that she will not do well in New Hampshire and in Iowa, areas where there are a lot of white Democrats still. Bernie is a socialist/communist who once wrote an article about how women like rape. Hillary is warmed-up leftovers from the last millennium. The public also finds her boring. She has an irritating voice and very poor oratorical skills. Even Democrats say that she is a bad campaigner. Being tied to her husband just brings up memories of Bill's abuse of women.

    Trump's star will burn out in the long run unless he can persuade someone like Ted Cruz to be his running mate and let Cruz manage the campaign. It is too early to tell who the GOP frontrunner is or if Trump is even a serious candidate.
