  Support for Trump is not about Trump the person.  Yes, that is part of it.  But, this is bigger than Trump.  This is the GOP base telling the establishment that we are sick of your lies and your selling us out and being the lapdogs of Left wing ideology.  How ironic that our candidates have to even fight against their OWN party!  The GOP would rather take down Trump and Cruz and elect Hillary than stand in support of their own candidates.  Unbelievable.  But, the great thing about this election is that the people are having a voice.  Even in the Dem party, they are not going to have Hillary shoved down their throats either.  Good for them!  Good for all of us!

From New Hampshire:

BROOKLINE, N.H. — Jeanne Cleveland, a retired teacher, pursed her lips sourly at the mention of his name and tried to summarize her distaste in diplomatic terms.

“I think he’s arrogant,” she said. “I think he’s rude. I think——”

She paused, reaching for the right words. “Let’s just say, I don’t like the way he represents us as a country.”

To avoid any confusion, Mrs. Cleveland put it plainly: “I don’t like Trump.”

In this, the retired teacher, 70, from Hollis, N.H., has ample, baffled and agonized company in New Hampshire as the presidential primary enters its final, frenzied weeks, with Donald J. Trump remaining atop poll after poll of the state’s Republican electorate.

Or is he? So deep is the dislike for him in some quarters that people like Mrs. Cleveland’s husband, Doug, question the accuracy of polls that so consistently identify Mr. Trump as leading the field with around 32 percent. “I’ve never met a single one of them,” Mr. Cleveland said about those said to be backing Mr. Trump. “Where are all these Trump supporters? Everyone we know is supporting somebody else.”

These are the lamentations of the 68 Percent — the significant majority of Republican voters here who are immune to Mr. Trump’s charms and entreaties, according to a battery of voter interviews on Thursday at campaign events for his rivals.

Trust is a nagging, recurring issue among Trump skeptics. On some level, they do not quite believe that he is really, seriously running for president, despite everything, nor are they convinced that his Republicanism is authentic.

They remember his donations to Democratic candidates (since disavowed as a business necessity) and his support for abortion rights (rationalized as trying to fit in with left-leaning New Yorkers).

Charles Bradley, 67, a retired lawyer from Laconia who calls himself conservative, said he had lost count of Mr. Trump’s shifting allegiances and discarded positions.

“He loves everybody until he doesn’t love them, if you’ve noticed,” Mr. Bradley said. “He loved Ted Cruz, and now he doesn’t anymore. He loved Hillary Clinton, and now he doesn’t anymore.”

But for the 68 Percent, no single attribute rankles as much as Mr. Trump’s instinctive proclivity to insult — everyone, over everything, no matter how big or small the issue, from Mexicans to the Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly.

Trump's health is "astonishingly excellent" and "perfection".
His dead doctor said so.
"We'll be so tired of winning, you'll beg to stop winning, there'll be so much winning".
You can't make this stuff up.
I love it. Comedy gold, and now that Palin's on board.......1

 Well, let's see.  He's also said he doesn't make deals with anyone.  Until today when when he said he'll make whatever deals he needs to because he's a deal maker.  Oh, and then there's that comment that since Obama already has broken laws by circumventing the way it's supposed to be done then Trump can just follow in his footsteps.  Hey, if Obama can do it Trump can too.  Hope and change.  Yeah!

 Now that is really ironic.  Lots of us on this board have issues with our kids, family members, etc.  We are regular Joe's so to speak and yet you are bashing Palin because she is a regular Joe too?  Albeit a heck of a lot smarter than us.

Flan, I have to tell you that you happened to choose words from a School teacher who lives in the MOST liberal towns in NH. It is right near me. And as for her saying she knows no one supporting Trump? How does she or you explain his poll numbers? Say all you want but the fact is, as arrogant as he is, he is not that typical politician. What most people in this country want, liberal or conservative, is to break the awful old boys network in DC.

I sure as hell would be talking to my daughter if she was teaching abstinence only classes to girls and she was on her second baby with her second baby daddy and had never been married. And if she claimed not to know who the father of the second baby was then that's more reason for her NOT to be teaching. She parades her daughter around as the example of abstinence only when that has seriously not worked.

 Palin isn't a "Regular Joe".

The entire family is trailer trash. From four out of wedlock pregnancies, to drunken brawls on the street to arrests to underage drinking to domestic violence...is YOUR family like that?

God, I hope not!

I think the REAL reason people teach "abstinence only" is because they want grandchildren, as quickly as possible.

Yesterday on “The Eric Metaxas Show,” Ann Coulter repeated her claim that God is using Donald Trump to save the U.S. — and all of civilization — from destruction.
“We are talking about the future of not only of America but of the last genuinely Christian country on earth and thus the world,” she said. “If we lose America, it is lights out for the entire world for a thousand years.”

Good. He should make deals with the establishment. They are the ones who are dividing the party and causing the Repubs to lose elections.

 Quoting NJN from upthread:

He's also said he doesn't make deals with anyone.  Until today when when he said he'll make whatever deals he needs to because he's a deal maker.

Yeah.  That's scientific--we don't know anyone who will vote for him, so the polls must not be right.  Idiots.

He is not my first choice but hillary is worse. When I look at her I see pure evil.

My husband actually met Trump at his golf course. My husband and his friends were playing golf and trump and his group were actually playing behind them. He waited his turn and didn't demand to play through. My husband and his friends were eating at the restaurant on the course and trump came up and asked them if everything was ok and if they were having a good time. Hillary doesn't talk to "commoners".

From New Hampshire:

BROOKLINE, N.H. — Jeanne Cleveland, a retired teacher, pursed her lips sourly at the mention of his name and tried to summarize her distaste in diplomatic terms.

“I think he’s arrogant,” she said. “I think he’s rude. I think——”

She paused, reaching for the right words. “Let’s just say, I don’t like the way he represents us as a country.”

To avoid any confusion, Mrs. Cleveland put it plainly: “I don’t like Trump.”

In this, the retired teacher, 70, from Hollis, N.H., has ample, baffled and agonized company in New Hampshire as the presidential primary enters its final, frenzied weeks, with Donald J. Trump remaining atop poll after poll of the state’s Republican electorate.

Or is he? So deep is the dislike for him in some quarters that people like Mrs. Cleveland’s husband, Doug, question the accuracy of polls that so consistently identify Mr. Trump as leading the field with around 32 percent. “I’ve never met a single one of them,” Mr. Cleveland said about those said to be backing Mr. Trump. “Where are all these Trump supporters? Everyone we know is supporting somebody else.”

These are the lamentations of the 68 Percent — the significant majority of Republican voters here who are immune to Mr. Trump’s charms and entreaties, according to a battery of voter interviews on Thursday at campaign events for his rivals.

Trust is a nagging, recurring issue among Trump skeptics. On some level, they do not quite believe that he is really, seriously running for president, despite everything, nor are they convinced that his Republicanism is authentic.

They remember his donations to Democratic candidates (since disavowed as a business necessity) and his support for abortion rights (rationalized as trying to fit in with left-leaning New Yorkers).

Charles Bradley, 67, a retired lawyer from Laconia who calls himself conservative, said he had lost count of Mr. Trump’s shifting allegiances and discarded positions.

“He loves everybody until he doesn’t love them, if you’ve noticed,” Mr. Bradley said. “He loved Ted Cruz, and now he doesn’t anymore. He loved Hillary Clinton, and now he doesn’t anymore.”

But for the 68 Percent, no single attribute rankles as much as Mr. Trump’s instinctive proclivity to insult — everyone, over everything, no matter how big or small the issue, from Mexicans to the Fox News journalist Megyn Kelly.

Yeah.  That's scientific--we don't know anyone who will vote for him, so the polls must not be right.  Idiots.   


 No, actually it's refreshing to know that some people still have common sense.

I love how people say they absolutely don't want an establishment person. Until Trump becomes one. Then it's okay.

I thought I'd research him a little bit in all fairness to find out why people like him and if there was some reason I should like him. What I found out is pretty nasty stuff. It's all over too. It's not one article. It's many sources. He's not all he appears to be.

 On the contrary.  I think he's exactly what he appears to be.  An arrogant, unapologetic, ass.   But he gets things done.

I don't want a "nice guy" as president.  I want an *******.  I don't want a president who goes around apologizing for crap that happened decades ago.  I want a president who says we are the U.S.  If you want our money and leadership--this is how it is, take it or leave it. 

 

Hilary is just as arrogant. She believes no laws apply to her.

 Works for me!  But i think he really is a good guy.  He has worked hard and his kids seem really hard working as well.

The Republican establishment better wrap their pea brains around the fact that "their guy" isn't going to be the nominee. It isn't going to be their second, third, or fourth choice, either.

It's likely going to be Trump or Cruz. The sooner they recognize that, the better. If they keep putting out the message that the damn party isn't even happy with those choices, how can they expect their party base to vote for them?

They'll lose the White House.

Their only saving grace at this point is that Sanders is making a move, and Hilary is facing a ton of negatives all over the place from a movie on Benghazi to the email scandal. The Democrats aren't in much better shape at this point.
