Cosmic's position is pretty much like every other Trump supporter's position.
They think of him as anti-establishment, and like that he says things other candidates won't say.
Nevermind the fact that most of what he says is filled with hate, xenophobia, misogyny, and all other things that would make Jesus vomit all over Cosmic's tie-dye shirt.

He'd be by far the crassest nominee/president ever, truly an embarrassment.

James Brennan: I haven't the least interest in ever seeing you again under any circumstances, especially since your fantasy world lacks the capacity to accept factual responses to your delusional assertions.
And gee, that comment about Trump was deeply insightful.

Did The Donald really, truly, expect this to last this long???? I still can't believe he actually believes the sh#t he's saying; this MUST be a prank with the author soon to reveal his joke. Please.
Trump is a master showman, ranking right up there with P. T. Barnum. Yes, a sucker IS born every minute.
I'm still predicting Romney for the run.

So you'll vote for a hate-filled misogynist xenophobic instead?
WWJD, Cosmic?

2 main reasons I'm for Trump, Cruz, or Rubio.
Cosmic, so you really can't say anything strong FOR those there guys
and but instead say you will vote for them anyway
what I don't understand, Cosmic, seriously, is how you have said that the character of the candidate is important to you, yet you would vote FOR known liars
all three of the people you for vote for are big, big time liars
I have posts many links, lists of their lies throughout this campaign, and you are very internet savvy, you know how to google their many lies
so why would you vote for men of such low character, such liars?

Jesus preached a message that concerned salvation, love, and care for the poor and those in need. He'd definteatly vote Bernie given these choices.
But of course many American Christians are bigots and are really at odds with wwjd.

Moosedrool! Re your comment:
As I watch Trump's performance in front of the crowds, I get the impression he is laughing how naive these people are. Even when he is mocking them, and they still love him.
Please remember, that Trump considers himself, a salesman.
Salespeople, if strongly motivated, can ignore their morals, background, training, politics, & religion to sell something that is important to them.
I think Trump has done a helavu job of selling what was once a liberal Trump,to the conservatives, religious right, & bigots, of America.
The question in my mind is:
Will Trump let his current bigoted & inflammatory spew direct his future goals, if he gets elected, or will he revert to a more liberal Trump?
I don't believe any liberals are worrying about that, but I do think a lot of the few remaining deep thinkers on the far right of the Republican party, are concerned about Trump's commitment to their (hopefully futile) crusade to turn America into a right-wing, bigoted, Christian Theocracy.
So-----the question is: If Trump is the Republican candidate for President, will the conservative Christians all support him?

Jesus had contempt for tax collectors. Didn't like them at all.
How Sanders socialism would work without tax collectors is something you can't explain.

Trump manifests the white male's yearning for the days when they could express their racism, misogyny and xenophobia openly and with abandon.
+1
His supporters harken for the days when they could call gays, fags or queers, blacks could be called niggers, and Mexicans could be called wetbacks

Hey TT, loved the video, wonder if those kids will grow up and post on the Taco (or not grow up and post on the Taco...)
Viewing this election from afar, it's been fascinating to watch. Here's a talk given by Chris Matthews (the MSNBC guy) to the "Washington Ideas Forum" on the basis for the "throw the bums out" feeling that is manifest this election cycle. He restricts his comments to the Republican side, but they date from August before Bernie started his recent rise.

"He wouldn't vote for Hillary or Bernie..."
And you think He'd vote for Trump, just to spite the both of them?
