That said, I think Trump is a genius plant by the Democrat party to bring out every bit of hatred and intolerance imaginable out of the GOP. Well done, Hillary. I’d say you got White House seat pretty bagged in at this point.
Come on, we know Trump isn’t an idiot. His followers are kinda idiotic. So there’s something he’s got up his sleeve.

Disclaimer – I am not a fan of Donald Trump. I don’t really like any politicians, and tend to vote for the candidate that I hate the least.
That said, people want to see emotion. It’s one of the reasons that people liked Ronald Reagan. People want leaders who make them feel something – and Donald brings out a lot of emotion in people who feel like they’ve somehow been cheated. Obama has given us 8 yrs of dispassionate hyper intellectual rhetoric and average people don’t like it. Hillary has a problem in this way – she is a woman and people expect her to be, if anything, more emotional than a male candidate (all other things being equal). She lacks spontaneity and has a rehearsed feel that I think falls flat with a lot of people.
And Hitler understood the importance of making people feel emotion. People are 95% uncivilized with a 5% layer of civilization on top – it’s not hard to get people to act like cavemen.
