re: #349 Killgore Trout

I’m starting to wonder. With the rise of Trump the wingnuts aren’t terribly bothered that he endorsed Canadian style single payer universal healthcare, endorsed left candiates, etc.
I think what’s happening is the base is rudderless. They don;t believe in anything anymore. They are just hungry for a leader. They don;t care what the ideas are or what the agenda is. All they want is a leader and will latch on to whoever Fox News and the GOP establishment parade in front of them. Huntsman has as much chance as Palin or Mitt.

I wish I could believe that. But Fox/Talk radio push the Obama hatred agenda, and if a candidate will not go after Obama on a deeply personal level, I dont know if he can make it in todays republican party.
