Terror is at the top of the issues list. Hillary is toast.

Maybe so, but when the question is narrowed to "hair-on-fire, knee-jerk approaches to terrorism that play into ISIS's hands," Trump, Rubio, Cruz and even Christie beat her easily. :rolleyes:

Regarding terror, perhaps Goopers would have an advantage if they weren't so over the top, but that's the Republican Jesus phenomenon again instead of the people who are actually running for President. Show me one Republican who's out with a reasonable proposal to combat ISIS? Instead we get proposals for concentration camps, a national Muslim registry, closing down houses of worship, yet another ground war in the Middle East, a new federal agency to promote Christianity, etc.

Voters may want a robust response, but borrowing ideas from Germany circa 1936 is when they step off the crazy train. Is ANYBODY disturbed that Trump's #'s have gone UP since Paris, even though he's proposing the most allegedly un-American response?

Sounds about right to me. There's large swaths of red across the US Map.

It's surprising really. My brother, who I never would've pegged as a Trump supporter, expressed some level of joy that he's retaken the lead in GOP polls. He's not a guy I thought even voted or paid attention to politics at all, let alone conservative politics. While it's been stated over and over, both here and from the various professional pundits, but it seriously hit me then that Trump has tapped into something very base in the population at large.

Sadly, fascism is easy to make appealing.

And it's always there under the surface. Like "every nation is three missed meals away from a revolution," every nation also teeters on the edge of fascism, and depression and/or attack can push it over.

We didn't get into a deep discussion on the subject, but my brother's more likely to be anti-Carson than pro-fascism. He's got something of a cross between a hippy and a grease monkey, which always had me thinking that if he did vote, he'd be more of a Democrat voter than a Republican voter. More than anything, he's also very much the anti-religion sort, which makes me think that he just doesn't like Carson.

Dr. Mrs. said a few weeks ago maybe Carson is suffering from some sort of progressive neurological disorder. I'm starting to think she could be right.
 
Re: Campaign 2016 - I'm Biden my time till I doctor the hearing.

With Carson starting to fade under increased scrutiny (what the smart people told us was supposed to happen to Trump) I'm curious where his support goes. Looks to me it will go to the two people with an actual chance to win the nomination, Trump and Calgary Ted. Forget about current media darling Rubio, who will soon be tagged as an illegal immigrant by Trump regardless of whether that's true. Either Trump keeps up his lead in every single state and wins, or he fades and the natural heir to his support is Cruz.

The thing I wonder with Trump is the Chris Rock point "white people always mad at something 'affirmative action, illegal aliens' illegal aliens is where I get worried because I know *ers and Jews is next." The longer Trump goes on, the more groups he alienates, the fascist blame train can only go so far before it derails. Immigrants, refugees, Latinos, who's next? Black people? Asians? Catholics? Jews? The Irish?
