Will you please show some respect and stop referring to him as 'Drumpf'?

He calls himself by a lot of names, I like his family name.

The Bush's have been rejected by both Republican Voter's and Democrats.

Understanding the differences:

What is happening in The Republican Party. Has an eerie resemblance to Reagan 1980.

bobby...

What ever happened to, Huge Negative Numbers, Reagan?

I disagree.
While Jeb(!) didn't get many votes (and Cruz didn't get much more), if you remove Trump from the conversation, you will hear several Republican voters defend George W. Bush (or Ted Cruz). At least that's what I am picking up in local conversations and discussions with conservative friends back home.

Capitalize on this good fortune, one word can bring you round ... changes.

Politics, is just a Game.

Almost all politicians are in it, for their own gain.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

If you believe that, why do you vote?

One of the reasons why Trump is succeeding?

The 40 year hurt

Somebody referred to Reagan earlier. I seem to recall there was widespread disbelief and near panic at the thought that an actor was about to become president. And he changed parties too as I recall. Not everyone today thinks he was a great president but most concede that he was a good president.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

Reagan and his followers, were also derided by The Liberals, The Progressives, The Left, and The Media. As Trump is. Reagan won.

Which is what happens when 'We, The People' become pissed off enough with the current crop of status quo 'do nothings'.

One of the reasons why Trump is succeeding?

The 40 year hurt

Sirus B,

Very insightful article!

Springsteen based the song on the struggle of his brother-in-law to stay employed during the bleak days after the Oil Shock of 1973: a half-decade of inflation and economic stagnation. At the time this stagflation was seen as a cyclical event; the economy would rebound soon. It would be boom time for all.

The economy did rebound, but then went into recession in 1982, and rebounded and went into recession at regular intervals, until the near-death experience of 2007/2008.

But very few people understood that an epochal change had taken place in the American economy. GDP would grow. Income wouldn't. Median salaried workers' wages stagnated. Those working low-wage jobs saw their incomes decline. As for job security, a perfect storm of automation, declining union power, and free-trade agreements put an end to that.

...

Many people are not only angry, they are angrier than they were a year ago - particularly Republicans (61%) and white people (54%) but also 42% of Democrats, 43% of Latinos and 33% of African Americans.

Candidates have sensed the mood and are adopting the rhetoric. Donald Trump, who has arguably tapped into voters' frustration better than any other candidate, says he is "very, very angry" and will "gladly accept the mantle of anger" while rival Republican Ben Carson says he has encountered "many Americans who are discouraged and angry as they watch the American dream slipping away".

...

In the last decade more people have joined the hurt club, and now, increasingly, it's the professional classes.

We know the pain of looking at our children and saying, what I had when I was your age I can't give you.

...

because incredulous presenters end each interview by asking, "But can Trump win?"

And I think to myself there is no way to explain in a brief interview the power of the 40-year hurt in shaping American society. There is no number or data set that can measure its pain.

At the end of the River, Bruce writes, "Is a dream a lie if it don't come true/or is it something worse?"

Forty years of hurt have driven some people to answer Springsteen's question, that the American dream is something worse than a lie, and from that bleak answer they are looking for a political leader who echoes their anger.

So my answer to presenters' questions whether Trump can win, is now and was before the primaries started: "Yes."

Michael Goldfarb has hit the nail on the head.

Of course, that's about the motivations of the candidates, not the voters' motivations for voting for them which I addressed.

Talk to long time Republicans about the past and I'll bet they're still pro-Bush, etc. ... .

I know. Back when Jimmy Carter was about to be elected I swore I would leave the country and immigrate to Australia. It was then that I discovered their strict restrictions on who can immigrate. Even though I had recently graduated from college with a teaching degree in mathematics it would have been difficult for me to get into Australia permanently due to my physical disability.

Down under the coriolis force is cancelled by the fact that

Oy BigBIGBig DON. If Only My Kind of Man T E D (Spiro T.) Agnew, could be your VP

We'd be Fookin' Mucho Dangerous

STA Quotes:
In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4H Club, the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history. Spiro Agnew

Some newspapers are fit only to line the bottom of bird cages. Spiro Agnew

A spirit of national masochism prevails, encouraged by an effete corps of impudent snobs who characterize themselves as intellectuals. Spiro Agnew

Freedom of speech is useless without freedom of thought. And I fear that the politics of protest is shutting out the process of thought, so necessary to rational discussion. We are faced with the Ten Commandments of Protest: Thou Shalt Not Allow Thy Opponent to Speak. Thou Shalt Not Set Forth a Program of Thine Own. Thou Shalt Not Trust Anybody Over Thirty. Thou Shalt Not Honor Thy Father or Thy Mother. Thou Shalt Not Heed the Lessons of History. Thou Shalt Not Write Anything Longer than a Slogan. Thou Shalt Not Present a Negotiable Demand. Thou Shalt Not Accept Any Establishment Idea. Thou Shalt Not Revere Any but Totalitarian Heroes. Thou Shalt Not Ask Forgiveness for Thy Transgressions, Rather Thou Shalt Demand Amnesty for Them. Spiro Agnew

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike -- I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam. Spiro Agnew

There are people in our society who should be separated and discarded. I think its one of the tendencies of the liberal community to feel that every person in a nation of over 200 million people can be made into a productive citizen. I'm realist enough to believe this can't be. Were always going to have our prisons, were always going to have our places of preventive detention for psychopaths, and were always going to have a certain number of people in our community who have no desire to achieve or who have no desire to even fit in an amicable way with the rest of society. And these people should be separated from the community, not in a callous way but they should be separated as far as any idea that their opinions shall have any effect on the course we follow. Spiro Agnew

Ultraliberalism today translates into a whimpering isolationism in foreign policy, a mulish obstructionism in domestic policy, and a pusillanimous pussyfooting on the critical issue of law and order. Spiro Agnew

Some of the politicians in this country, in their feverish search for group acceptance, are ready to endorse tumultuous confrontation as a substitute for debate, and the most illogical and unfitting extensions of the Bill of Rights as protections for psychotic and criminal elements in our society. We have seen all too clearly that there are men now in power in this country who do not represent authority, who cannot cope with tradition, and who believe that the people of America are ready to support revolution as long as it is done with a cultured voice and a handsome profile. Spiro Agnew

This is the criminal left that belongs not in a dormitory, but in a penitentiary. The criminal left is not a problem to be solved by the Department of Philosophy or the Department of English, it is a problem for the Department of Justice. Black or white, the criminal left is interested in power. It is not interested in promoting the renewal and reforms that make democracy work; it is interested in promoting those collisions and conflict that tear democracy apart. Spiro Agnew

The era of appeasement must come to an end. The political and social demands that dissidents are making of the universities do not flow from sound basic educational criteria, but from strategic considerations on how to radicalize the student body, polarize the campus and extend the privileged enclaves of student power. A concise and clear set of rules for campus conduct should be established, transmitted to incoming freshmen, and enforced with immediate expulsion the penalty for serious violations. It is folly for universities confronted with their current crisis in our turbulent times to open their doors to thousands of patently unqualified students. No negotiations under threat or coercion. No amnesty for lawlessness or violence. Any organization which publicly declares its intention to violate the rules of an academic community and which carries out that declaration should be barred from campus. We must look to how we are raising our children. We must look to the university that receives those children. Is it prepared to deal with the challenge of the nondemocratic Left? Let us support those courageous administrators, professors and students on our college campuses who are standing up for the traditional rights of the academic community. Spiro Agnew

My Kind of Man DJTrump is: BIG BIG BIG. Go Don Go.

Yap.
