I'll concede that, but group 1 by not flat out rejecting him have to shoulder some of the blame for allowing his rise to where he is now and for not having the critical thinking skills to reject him. As a result they still fall into the dim bulb category, in my eyes. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes of listening to him speak ON ANY TOPIC to realize he isn't fit to be President of the PTA, let alone the USA.

A lot of people get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, watch The Bachelor, and go to bed.  They've always voted Republican as their parents did, and/or distrust the government (not because of any first hand experience, but because that's what they've heard all their lives). They're really not thinking too deeply about things. 

So here's an outsider who on the surface can appear to be a straight talker, and on the surface can appear to be a great businessman and dealmaker.  On the surface he may appear to be the anti-politician.  Maybe the surface is all some people are capable of.  Can a person who's a "dim bulb" choose not to be a dim bulb?  Is it laziness that they don't want to think critically, or is it just not in their bag of tools?  Every day we have people who receive phone calls saying they are in trouble with the IRS and they need to call immediately to avoid being sued and they DO IT!  I have to assume they're not trying to be gullible.  They just are. 

That doesn't necessarily make them bad people.  Many of them will give you the shirt off their back.  They're also the people who will help me put up a shed or fix my toilet because I'm the dimmest of bulbs when it comes to that stuff.  I think we need to find ways to engage these people in ways other than calling them stupid.

There isn't really a line, that's what makes it a roast.

Regardless, even Ann would agree that "c%nt" is the character she plays on TV etc in order to sell books. That's her persona, and I have to admit she is good at what she does.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt is a bit harder given that Trump has made bigotry the centerpiece of his campaign with all of the wall and banning Muslims BS.

This is a pretty decent passive aggressive shot at the Trumpies.

But its fine when your boy makes fun of handicapped people and uses other names for a presidential candidate...not comedians and people on a freaking roast?

So, non PC is good...except on a roast if its directed at a conservative.

Even on the surface, Trump spreads and profits off hate and fear though, doesn't he? And in a lot of cases people praising him for being a "straight talker" and "anti political" really mean, "I like and agree with what he says about those other people who are ruining our country." It's the foundation and very surface of his campaign and appeal. If you asked someone who knew little of Trump to say two things he stands for, it's "BUILD A WALL (to keep those other people away from us)." and "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN (by getting rid of the other people bringing our Country down)".

Agreed.  It's very hard.  I guess I'm trying very hard not to dump them all in that bucket, but it is difficult.

Coulter was asked by Comedy Central if any topics or words were off limits. Apparently the C-word was not on her list. Maybe she's not as PC as you?

Love it when Trump guys feign outrage over people crossing the line. It's a post Trump world. Get used to it.

They're just telling it like it is man, like your boy Trump does. He doesn't sugar coat things and I find that sexy.

lofl at people feeling sorry for Ann Coulter.  Let's review some of her gems, shall we?

 

"If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women."

 "I'm more of a man than any liberal."

"I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote."'

Rubio saying "angry" voters don't want to vote for him is like a rapist complaining girls don't want to talk to him.

"We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say." --arguing that it would be better if we were all Christian

"I was going to have a few comments about John Edwards but you have to go into rehab if you use the word ######." --at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference

"If I'm going to say anything about John Edwards in the future, I'll just wish he had been killed in a terrorist assassination plot."

"These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies. I have never seen people enjoying their husband's deaths so much." -on 9/11 widows who have been critical of the Bush administration

"My only regret with Timothy McVeigh is he did not go to the New York Times Building."

"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'"

"I don't really like to think of it as a murder. It was terminating Tiller in the 203rd trimester.   I am personally opposed to shooting abortionists, but I don't want to impose my moral values on others." --on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller, FOX News interview, June 22, 2009

Sadly, yes

 
If you support Trump and/or Coulter you're an idiot. Doesn't take a lot of heavy reasoning to come to that conclusion either. Their body of work makes it a pretty simple correlation.

Your comments also apply to a typical Democratic voter. Voting Republican doesn't make you uniformed - voting for Trump or Clinton in this cycle though does imply you'd be a partisan hack.

So 90-95% of the population will vote for either Trump or Clinton. Does that make us all partisan hacks? And who should we be voting for to not make us look like partisan hacks? And explain to me what you consider a partisan hack? 

 
Question for any Trump supporter who watched last night - what did he say or do that impressed you?  That made you think "Yes, this man should be the next president."?

The whole "Hillary is corrupt" thing might actually hold some water if she wasn't running against Donald Trump.

But once you put it in that context, it's pretty laughable.

Has Trump EVER made a move that wasn't entirely in his own self interest?

Kind of crazy to think that his off-the-charts narcissism is going to translate to helping his fellow Americans as opposed to just himself. Sort of the opposite of what a narcissist does.

If you don't think Hillary is corrupt I have some sniper fire in Bosnia to sell you.

It's crazy! Their Trump coverage is nonstop. I can't watch them any more. When I do, I watch for a few minutes and realize why I stopped. Definitely as soon as Lewandowski or Pierson (and that big head dude Boris is about as bad) come on it's off.

I liked earlier when the Russian born surrogate and campaign adviser Boris was trotted out to put forth the message that there weren't Russian connections to the campaign. Perfect.

Let's try slowing it down for you.  Saying Hillary is corrupt when comparing her to Trump is like saying Josh Gordon is overweight when he's in a fitness contest with Tony Siragusa.

That perfectly describes my right wing father-in-law who is backing Trump.  A very kind man, but couldn't be more against what he stands for politically.

I think if you injected them with truth serum, most Republicans in congress would say they're hoping Trump loses in a close race.  They don't want Trump to be the face of their party, but they don't want to lose that many seats either or have Hillary come out looking strong.
