So @Sanguine is the problem? The absolute dearth of cognitive thinking on the part of Trump supporters continues to gnaw at my insides. When in doubt, raise the meme that "we need a fighter", at the expense of disregarding the promises unfulfilled or conveniently forgotten.
Your Dear Leader thrives on managing by chaos, which rarely works in large organizations with an entrenched bureaucracy. Why should one expect change when the permanent workers know they'll have a new boss every six months?
Trump has only one way to lead, and that's by being a bully. It's all he knows, and it will never change.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I may even vote for Trump next year, only because the Democrats will put up someone worse than Hillary, if that is possible. I have another reason: another 4 years of Trump will seal the eventual destruction of the Republican party, just as Obama almost killed the Democrats.
First of all, ignore
@sneakypete's absurd reductionist response.
I think, very generally, the reason anyone throws their support so fully behind a person is because of fear and the feeling that the other person is stronger, smarter, more knowledgeable, whatever, or, in other words, the problem being faced appears insurmountable and this guy might be able to lead us out of it.
Another reason might be (and, I think this is particularly true of Trump) that the harder the opposition - the guys on the "wrong" side - attack the leader, the more loudly they defend him and the more emotionally invested they become in him.
And, the third reason, particularly for conservatives, is that if you tell me how to think, I'm just not going to do it. I may come around to your way of thinking in time, but only if you back off and let reality take over. A lot of the anti-Trumpers here seem to delight in insulting and abusing those who do support Trump (and vice-versa). That's a sure way to generate conflict and turn them even farther toward Trump. And, the reverse is true. The more they read what is essentially "Trump is God", the more they dislike him.
We
DO need a fighter. A clear-thinking, effective fighter. Trump is a lord of chaos. Which may be to our benefit; that remains to be seen fully. If nothing else, the enemies he has chosen are the correct enemies.
