WV Exit Polls: 44% of Sanders voters are Trump supporters

340. Sorry you lost me at "ideology"

Trump has no ideology other than to enrich himself and stroke his own ego. That much is plain to everybody who pays half attention to him. He says whatever hits his brain that is annoying to everybody else to get attention. It is impossible to believe he is not up to his ears in graft like every other insanely rich and politically active person. He's for a system that continues to enrich the haves and stuff the have nots. That's the definition of establishment as far as I'm concerned. Hence people who think he's anti-establishment are rubes.

He's a man with nothing to lose. In the financial world, where I travel, we call that "feeding the margin monster" Its a way of saying, one takes their losses and moves on, emotionally unaffected by it all. Risk only what you're willing to risk and keep the rest tucked away. Trump does that and he's a pro at it. He projects confidence at all times and in all situations. And if losses occur, brush them off. No matter what's going on in his head and heart, its the outward projection that's important. Its that confidence that wins deals and gets clients. People like to be near supremely confident men, it gives them shelter from the terrors of the wild world.

He'll expose corruption and when he's shown to be as corrupt, he'll brush it off and feed the margin monster and move on.

If he wants, he can fund this ego project himself. He doesn't need the Republican party, he could just as easily do this in the Democratic party, but he's in the GOP because that system is easier to co-opt and pervert than the Democrats. The Tea Party showed that weakness and he's building on it.

Yes Trump is dangerous, I don't think he's a joke, I never thought he's a joke. I knew he'd have the GOP nomination when I saw him ride down that escalator. Because of what I said above. He's got the cash to fund this and he can do/say whatever he wants and his brand will only increase in value. He can be crushed in a Reagan-esque landslide and still come out richer than before and more valuable than before.

Lies? Outlandish lies? Talking about his prick on national TV? Being an open racist and bigot? Calling for people to be lynched at his rallies? The more shocking he is, the more he increases his market share. At least in the media. Time will tell how the voters feel in November.

Check this out: Trump is now saying he can deliver "four to five Supreme Court justices" who will turn over Roe V Wade in his term. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/05/11/1525408/-Trump-promises-to-deliver-four-or-five-anti-abortion-Supreme-Court-justices

Yes we should take him very seriously. But people who take him at his word are gullible fools.
