Yes, we need more radicals of the shit everybody is fucking tired of. Do you want trump to win even bigger?


Trump didn't win because he was on the right. He beat the entire Republican establishment and the tea party rabble before he beat Clinton, and on most subjects he ran to the left of every single one of them. The shit everybody is fucking tired of is the Clintons, and their friends.

McCain: 60 million votes; Romney: 60 million votes; Trump: 60 million votes.

Obama: 72 million votes; Obama 2: 66 million votes; Clinton: 60 million votes.


"tea party rabble"?

Thanks for sharing that with us.

But he ran strongly to the right of the GOPe on:

Immigration

The Muslim subset of that

Globalism

The Right to Keep and Bear Arms (RKBA)

Political Correctness

Related, respect for the Mainstream Media (we'll know he's really serious if he takes the advice to abolish the White House Press Corps).

Need more? I'm sure I can come up with more. But you're 100% right that "everybody is fucking tired of ... the Clintons", and after having them "live rent free in my brain" for 24 years (!!!) I'm profoundly glad Trump put them in the ash heap of history. Except I have expect Master Level Troll Obama (something he has in common with Trump) to not pardon them, to not "end our long national nightmare" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inauguration_of_Gerald_Ford)WR... to them.


What those numbers show, at first glance, is the characterization of Bush 2 as an idiotic war-mongering chimpanzee has finally worn off in the forefront of the national consciousness.
