In addition to what TWuG said, he also strikes right to the emotional heart of people who have been completely disenfranchised over the past decade. - ReluctantCynic Sep 16, 10:16 6
- I really think "disenfranchised" is too kind of a word to describe them. They are still white and still enjoy all the benefits that comes with that. - pmb Sep 16, 10:48 2
  - They have been treated unfairly, and I'm not saying they bear no responsibility. And we're talking about my family here. - ReluctantCynic Sep 16, 11:01
  - It's a self-selected disenfranchisement. "I won't engage with any system that doesn't see *me* as a priority over others." -- nm - TWuG Sep 16, 10:52
- sure, but that press conference is insane, and nothing but an ad for his private business. that should destroy any candidate. -- nm - Andie Sep 16, 10:19 2
  - Absolutely. Anyone watching him with even a modest bit of logic, reason, and rationality would agree. But his hardcore supporters aren't doing so. - ReluctantCynic Sep 16, 10:40

He's the returning fire candidate from people freaked by Obama. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 16, 10:08
Better to ask how the GOP is a serious party. He's the distillation of everything the GOP has tacitly supported for the last 20 years. -- nm - TWuG Sep 16, 10:05 3

  - are you referring to Goldwater-era? -- nm - mud Sep 16, 10:20 1
    - yes. the party made a conscious choice after the 1964 Civil Rights Act to become the new home for aggrieved white people -- nm - mr monkey Sep 16, 10:21
