republicans need votes from:
women
mexicans
religious wackos
trump has already insulted the first two groups
he will soon insult the religious people
Trump isn't even a real candidate. He's a professional celebrity. He's using this phony 'campaign' to jack up his media recognition. And saying outrageous and insulting things gets him lots of media attention. He couldn't care less what voters he's insulting because he ISN'T RUNNING FOR OFFICE. He's only pretending to run.
By this time next year Trump will be busy with some new TV show, and he will have nothing to do with the election. And none of his insults will have had any effect on anyone but the idiots who are already his fans.
The problem for republicans is that they are the party of the rich. They always have been and they still are. But they can't get elected if only the rich people they actually serve, vote for them. So they have to trick other voting blocks into voting for them, too. I say "trick" because they will not serve those voting blocks once they are elected unless doing so also serves the purposes of the rich. Because that's the republican party's
raison d'être: doing the will of the wealthy elites. Always has been, and it always will be.
Unfortunately, when they have to lie to those other voting blocks over and over and over again just to win elections, and they then do not do any of the things that they lied and said they would do, even the stupidest blocks of voters eventually become suspicious. And then it requires more and more outrageous claims and behaviors to trick them into voting for republicans yet again. Which is why the republican field of potential candidates looks like a cast of cartoon characters out of Mad Magazine, and why they are each trying to top each other in spouting off absurd, insulting, and idiotic comments and proclamations so they can get noticed standing next to a candidate that isn't even a real candidate, but is just a media hog pretending to run for election.
The absurdity of it all would be funny if it was a Mad Magazine schtick instead of real life. But it is real life and it's beyond pathetic. How this country has sunk so low, politically, in just the last 35 years is mind-boggling. And how the American people keep allowing this pathetic parade of idiotic behavior to continue is even a bigger mystery to me.
Man! How the mighty hath fallen!
