It's no secret conservatives are disgusted with the republican party. Trump capitalized on the sentiment and here we are.
I'm really not a fan. But I have to say I've noticed a big improvement in the content and delivery in his speeches from a few months ago and today. It's almost like he's turning into the standard politician. Yippee.
Bailey, I usually agree with you but I think Trump is instead the Republican Party's nightmare. He's an outsider who capitalized on Republicans fed up with establishment "strategy" and non-Republicans to take over the GOP nomination. He claimed he was bringing all these people to the Republican Party; how many will actually vote Republican in the General? People can look forward to more of it if they pass 107 and 108. I'm Unaffiliated myself but when I feel strongly about a desire to express an opinion on ______ Party's nomination, I register with that party.
I am a big fan of conservatives taking back the GOP but Trump is hardly an example of that. As you say, disgruntled conservatives probably fed the big "FU" to the party but I don't think they were a fundamental force behind it. I agree, the content of his speeches has improved this week -- I wish the speeches he and his son Eric gave this week had been done a month ago. I wish they'd been airing the anti-Hillary ads for the past month. I hope to God I'm slapping myself in 2 weeks thinking, "President-elect Trump? Really?"
Whether he's their creation or their nightmare...could be either one. But it seems to me it's their own fault for not doing what they were elected to do.
wow, for a cartoonist, he really has a better grasp on reality than I ever thought:Quote:

I read the "Dilbert" piece. He's right about the "liberals are bullies" part. But I'm curious if he just figured that out or if he just doesn't like Hillary's style of bullying/condoning bullying? Then again, I'm a cynical clinger.
Adams is a Berkely grad...so, yeah...I'm guessing he's been part of the problem for a long time and just doesn't like Hillary. Probably a disgruntled Bernie supporter.
