The media should do their jobs and report the facts not their opinions, Using their positions to sway personal opinions is morally corrupt.

Trump is not the problem, communists are

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

more picking and choosing
show me the facts, just the facts
I did not vote for Trump
but I certainly won't vote for Clinton

If Trump put half his money behind Rand Paul, maybe we would have a real choice in Nov.

It is what it is
so vote for who will begin to turn the country around or if you are blind and think all is well, vote for more destruction of our country. It's that simple.

WOW. If you believe this load of (. . . ), does that mean you will stop criticizing Trump? I mean, if you continue to do so, you, according to your article, could actually wind up reinforcing Trump's followers belief in him.

Maybe Trump knows about this supposed syndrome and is masterfully using it--sort of being a mastermind rather than a buffoon. It's (his success) all rather murky, mysterious, contradictory, inexplicable.

Except . . . the brainiacs just don't seem to get the simple explanation that a great segment of Republican supporters are fed up with typical GOP failure to deliver on its promises. The simple reality that many, if not most, Trump supporters exist on the rational basis that he will not be another weak-kneed Romney or nicey-nice McCain or more of the same Republican all-talk-no-action. That he will fight fire with fire. That his tactics are more like the lying aggressive in-your-face tactics the Democrats have successfully used for years. They overlook the simple reality that Tumpers don't adore The Donald because they think he is virtuous and righteous, but they prefer him as an alternative strength to typical Republican weakness.

And the most rational support for Trump is the Supreme Court decisions to be made. Because of that, and because the Republicans have failed to be an effective opposition to the direction the country has been lead, there is a perceived tipping point that we may finally arrive at that place of total transformation, and because of that we don't have the luxury of concern about Trump's character.

The GOP elite thought they were secure in their status quo. So much so that they could destroy their base's desire for someone like Cruz who had no fear of media or Democrats, and represented a radical departure from typical GOP cave-ins to Progressive legislation. Because the party would not support Cruz, the only departure left from the path they had taken was Trump. The GOP created him. Either it supports him now, or suffer worse self-destruction. Perhaps, even a splintering off into the creation of a new party.

But never mind all that. It's easier and more palatable to find some psychological syndrome babble for the Trump phenomenon. Especially if it further discredits the Republican candidate.

BTW, If you insert Hillary's name for Trump's in the article, it would work just as well. The very same phenomenon, if it exists, would perfectly describe Hillary's suck-ups.

A well regarded journalist citing real research...that is a "load?" My own empirical evidence certainly seems to back up the findings.

That's scary. I don't understand the Supreme Court argument at all. The guy is a Dem most of his life, loved the Clinton's and suddenly in the span of a few years takes Jesus as his savior and you think that's an indicator of predictability on his picks...makes no sense.

That seems to be your go-to these days, that it's all the same. Demographics don't back up your statement...

simple spence, Trump is not a progressive
I'm pretty sure he follows the Constitution, progressives want it removed and want more government in our lives and to be bigger and larger. I thought you were smart
