Palin doesn't sway women. Women lean democrat already and that's why the GOP tried to use her. Most women find it insulting that the republican party puts up people like Palin and Bachman to try to represent them. Much was written about how when she got the nod in 2008 that there was very little to no movement in the poll numbers for women after her nomination acceptance speech. Some data indicates that single women moved towards the Obama ticket. And that was before she proven to be stupid. So stupid.

Him wearing that ugly as hell hat lately is enjoyable. Clearly the mocking of his amazing hair has finally got to him.

I think he should select Jenna Jameson as his running mate.

Trump with a huge lead in Iowa, decimating Scott Walker even though he governs a state right next-door:

Trump dominating the field in a national poll:

You literally cannot stump the Trump. Americans are finally waking up.

Trump supporters likely to be low educated. Shocking, I know...



It's hard to find smart people who support Trump. Stupid people are finally waking up (or are in a meth induced haze)

I refuse to believe the right-wing voting demographic in the US is dumb enough to actually endorse Trump.

This whole thing is absolutely mind-boggling.

Implying a degree in social sciences makes one intelligent. This is a common retort from Liberals by saying Conservatives are dumber when trying to smear the opposition. Of course it is debunked easily here:

Me too. I wonder how much of his popularity in the poles is Democrats registering as Republicans in an effort to sabotage.

I mean, I know if I was trying to find a legitimate source for something like this, it would definitely be a website called "The Secular Conservative." Come on now, mikey.

"But check out this sweet article from Salon!"

This is what's wrong with american politics today. It's being driven by divide and conquer tactic media. You pick your team, and then that's it. Zealot power!

True story: College is more about learning to think critically than it is about learning technical skills. Like did you know the Texas Republican party actually rejected the teaching of critical thinking from it's platform? I wonder why.

Correction: college used to be a place where critical thinking is encouraged- now if you stray away from the narrative being pushed by Liberal Arts teachers you will be graded poorly.

Hahaha it's a conspiracy to keep the true thinkers down! Apart from a strange accusation, you got yourself some proof?

I mean I am bored at work but I do wonder why we bother engaging with Quincy the Redneck. We know how it's going to go, and unlike Trump we're not getting insane, over the top ramblings and calling everyone a loser and disgusting to go with it.

Weird, I challenge my profs in my papers all the time and still manage to pull decent grades.

I'm still 99% sure this is just his most successful marketing ploy in 10 years, and his image consultants just keep telling him to run with it.

You just know he's going to tap his son and daughter to be co-Vice President nominees.
