Pretty clear JFC forum is not the Flying J TV room.
Ya'll seem pretty isolated to me, tbphwy. Dr. Jones in St. George does see some of the Trump base, but mostly Mo sorts, who are not the real Trump base sort. Trump is getting a lot of blue-collar dems, union folk and other workers who just seem to know you have to own a business to be a "real" Republican. Ya'll can call him a demagogue or whatever, but the fact is, he is sincere, if unpremeditated. Like some sociopaths/schizphrenics, he lives in the "Now". In this he could be the perfect Liberal just as easy as a nationalist/populist folk hero. He does not make a big deal about consistency one moment to the next. He speaks from the heart, while looking into the face of the crowd, and he knows them. They're Americans, and he's an American, and that is what matters.
So, little fussy political purists, you're just otta the loop. A lot of people will vote for Trump because he thinks like the truck driver that brings in the pop, or the milk, with that high-stacled dolly.
Mormons are statists, well-conditioned minions of authority and programs and instruction manuals. Most Americans are not statists. They are people who work for a living, but they go home and think for themselves, and just want to be free.
looks like a little crew of dedicated ideologues here, statists with fantasies of a better world managed to some little dream framed by somebody else's rhetoric.
I think Trump is the best candidate we've had since Reagan.
