Don't worry folks Trump said at a rally today that he only meant figuratively hit, as in call out at his rallies. Not physically hit. Only an idiot would interpret what he said to mean what he said.

This is how Trump supporters keep idolizing him: just ignore every word he actually says and interpret the noises out of his face hole or his beloved Twitter account to mean whatever you want. He'll just agree with whatever it is given enough time.

Why do I get the feeling that the first debate is just going to be a replay of that interview with Newt where Newt kept insisting that the facts don't matter?

It truly does seem like a political movement of the stupid and the insane.

The Trumpian right is on the rise in Europe, too. Hopefully after Brexit it isn't being ignored as a uniquely American phenomenon, but pretty much any country near immigrants that is and always has been predominantly white is a target right now

Sure he has catch-phrases, but his speeches are just... word-salads.

Clear and cogent arguments are for people who believe what they're saying. Mangled bullshit is superior for actually convincing people because it's harder to argue with, at least in casual conversation.

Every thought Trump has is like a tiny thread of fabric, totally separate from any other thread. What looks like a jumble is actually millions of them, all pressed flat into a blank canvas, perfectly white because that's the only type allowed, onto which those who lust for authoritarian rule and proletarian on proletarian warfare paint whatever policies they would like him to hold

Literally every Midwesterner I've talked to, all Republican-lites like you mentioned ( "My ma voted Republican, so I vote Republican! They seem more trustworthy/honest anyways." ) has basically said they view Trump as the antichrist. He is 100% opposed to what the Midwest believes it's values are, and what they think the Republican values are. They might not vote for Hilary thanks to the decades of propaganda, but they sure as hell also aren't voting for Trump. Most will abstain. This is just from a fairly casual trip through Minnesota/Wisconsin/Ohio with some friends, chatting politics at the various bars, plus living in Minnesota for 20 odd years, but average boring Midwest family is not Trumpers. It's the dumbass Rust Belt unionists that think the Democrats are to blame for the Recession that are going Trump, because JERBS.

I've been living in suburban Ohio for 32 years and I mean people like my parents, their friends, and all my friends' parents, and all the people I encounter at work. Not dumb-dumbs who repeat stuff from chain emails, but college educated, comfy retirement funds, shop at LL Bean and Dillards, play golf twice a month, take nice but not extravagant family vacations once a year. Less Malcolm in the Middle and more 7th Heaven.

I can see that, but I think it's slightly more likely that he will end up doing the debates and just repeating himself, doubling down and resorting to "nuh uh" when Hillary debunks his bullshit in excruciating detail. One wild card: Hillary's laugh. He's never had to deal with it in real time. The easiest man in the world to bait, baited by the most self-satisfied belly laugh. Ohhhhhhh I cannot wait. OK maybe I am just hoping the debates will happen because they will be the high point of my year.

Trump is piss easy to bait into showing his utter lack of qualifications for any office, sure, but his supporters never cared about that. They have ignored everything he's said and done to this point and rush to defend him the second he melts down. The only response we're likely to get from them is doubling down on people being so "mean" and "biased" towards him when they don't let him skate by on slogans.
