OK, I understand Trump Sr. and the cult concept.
But why Junior?

(15,320 posts)Look, if Princess Sparkle Pony, or Dipshit Jr runs, does Nicky Haley think she beats either one of them in a primary?
Does Ted Cruz?
Marco Rubio?
Rand Paul?
Tom Cotton?
Who do you think Donnie Shit for Brains is going to endorse?
Who do you think Dipshit MAGAts are going to vote for?
Who do you think decides who the Retrumplican nominee is going to be?
Any other Retrumplicans winning without the Dipshits MAGA Dipshits?
There's only one way that the bodies stay hidden. That's if THE FAMILY controls the levers of the Executive Branch.
The Retrumplican Party needs to start looking at this like the successon of the Gambino Crime Family.
An outsider isn't taking the reigns of the "family business" as long as there's an heir to the throne.

Then think about who votes in Retrumplican primaries.

(7,396 posts)question. I suspect that most of the base never really has thought about that. To these folks, poking libs in the eye is the main goal anyway, no matter who is speaking at a rally. The message is always the same, only the lips are different.

(15,241 posts)Poor people (mentally poor) seem to get satisfaction from trying to sling arrows at others.
Perhaps they realize that they can't grow any brain cells or empathy or intelligence. They are locked in their own little world fed by the RW media.
Some people I interact with professionally will try to discuss the current "environment" with me. As soon as I hear terms that seem like they are Fux-based, I smile and walk away. Given my role, I can't really engage them. Some are reasonably smart but all are very sequestered.
