This rhetoric of trump is definitely attracting baby boomers they think trump is the only way to go back to the 50's where the dollar was worth a nickel and you could buy a high end sports car for $2,000. I hate to say it but America was much better back then when American Values were not sold to the lowest bidder by our Evil Gov't.

Which is why I'm voting third party. I refuse to support the current two-party system we have in place that got us into this mess.

That's an interesting point too. I wonder if we'll ever see primaries get regulated to a specific day of the year in the future. Too many people on both sides benefit from it to really happen though. It'd need an amendment to ever happen I'd think.

You have a choice to vote in a primary.  Then you can vote in the general.  And Hillary and Trump are definitely very different.  I don't like either one.  In fact I hate them both.  Who will do the least amount of damage?  Probably Trump.

Quote:

...We’re now at a point where the Senate says it won’t even hold hearings on a presidential Supreme Court nominee, in clear defiance of custom and the Constitution. We’re now at a point in which politicians live in fear if they try to compromise and legislate. We’re now at a point in which normal political conversation has broken down. People feel unheard, which makes them shout even louder, which further destroys conversation.

And in walks Donald Trump. People say that Trump is an unconventional candidate and that he represents a break from politics as usual. That’s not true. Trump is the culmination of the trends we have been seeing for the last 30 years: the desire for outsiders; the bashing style of rhetoric that makes conversation impossible; the decline of coherent political parties; the declining importance of policy; the tendency to fight cultural battles and identity wars through political means.
...
Trump’s supporters aren’t looking for a political process to address their needs. They are looking for a superhero. As the political scientist Matthew MacWilliams found, the one trait that best predicts whether you’re a Trump supporter is how high you score on tests that measure authoritarianism.
