I've figured it out. The reason a Trump fan can't be convinced that he is a bad man is because they know he is a bad man. That's what they like about him. He is condescending, rude, and mean and they are hoping to project their own anger through him.
Everything else be damned.
Sort of, but not really.
He's not the status quo. We know what we'll get with Hillary, more continuation of Obama's march towards socialism that has done more damage to this nation than anything in history. We know what we'll get with Bush, Rubio, Kasich, etc., a return to G.W. Bush style government where the march towards a socialist nation still presses on, just at half speed. The rhetoric changes, but at the end of the day they'll all shake hands and agree to raise taxes and grow government. Paul Ryan will hug Nancy Pelosi and they'll jet off to their latest fundraiser while the rest of america is left to pay for it.
If we elect any of those candidates then nothing fundamentally changes, the country presses forward towards a train wreck that we all know is coming. You can't be 19 trillion dollars in the hole without someone having to pay for it. Can anyone even envision 19 trillion dollars? I can't imagine what that would even look like sitting in a vault. No one can which is why it's meaningless to us now. It's just a number that no one cares about growing because it's become meaningless. But the chickens will come home to roost eventually.
The reason the frustrated are backing Trump is not that they like him, it's that we know what we're going to get with the others and IT HAS TO STOP or it will destroy our country as we know it. Trump might not be any better, but he sure as hell can't be any worse than what we've had. He's the hail Mary pass, lots of people are so disenfranchised now that they feel they have nothing to lose. That's why they're considering Trump.
