How could you not have a substance abuse issue if you were a non-Trump entrant in the GOP primary?

yeah that'd be interesting data to keep in mind as poo poo shakes out after he presumably wins this insanity. i feel like the usual conclusion is that conservatives are more authoritarian but it'd need to be consistent with the methodology that went into this article. i don't have time to read it rn and I'm on my phone I'll try to remember to read that article later

http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/01/donald-trump-2016-authoritarian-213533

Found another article by Matthew MacWilliams who's been harping this authoritarian point for a while now it seems. In his poll authoritarians make up 49% of Republicans, 39% of Independents, and 17% of Democrats. And these numbers all rise significantly then decline again after something like a terrorist attack.

One well timed terrorist attack away from a Trump Presidency because the Republicans have continually stoked the resentment of their base and the Press has become completely ineffectual.

Yes, Steve King, you shitsack, I can imagine Trump giving a State of the Union address or standing at a presidential podium giving a speech with that demeanour. I think it would be hilarious and excellent. Go gently caress yourself.

God drat but do I love reading retarded liberals desperately trying to convince themselves that Trump has no chance against Hillary in the general. Hillary's unfavourables are just as bad you realise?

Where can I read more of this?

My favourite is liberals who admit Trump is a way more progressive candidate than Shillary, and this makes them worried that Hillary might not win. The gently caress is wrong with you?

I'm not nervous, I'm very confident that the GOP cannot win without an absolutely massive gamechanger happening.

At the end of the day, the GOP has to win every single swing state with nominee with record breaking unfavourables, leading a smaller, splintered party (compared to the Dems).

Or you know, the Midwest where free trade agremeents and illegal immigration has absolutely buttfucked the manufacturing industry there. Let's also remember that Trump is pro-union.

Once upon a time "progressive" didn't mean the biggest SJW.

But sure, let's pretend that the neoliberal owned by goldman sachs, who voted for the iraq war is more progressive than the guy who wants tarriffs, protectionism, massive infrastructure investment and no more war because she only supports policies that lead to minorities being imprisoned and doesn't say mean things.
