Donald Trump

Republicans like Donald Trump. Republicans love Donald Trump. And here's why...there is no good reason to like Donald Trump.

Donald Trump speaks his mind and he speaks his mind at the lowest common denominator. He panders to the fears that the right wing has had for years by going on a crusade against everything they are afraid of. Immigrants? We'll kick them all out. Mexicans? We'll build that giant wall. Muslims? We ain't letting them in our country. Women? Sexy, but men are better.

Speaking to that lowest common denominator has led him to be a front-runner in this 2016 presidential election. But he won't be voted in, America is too smart to let that happen. But there is one other thing that is adding to his appeal that I don't think anyone understands. The appeal of being hated so much by the Democrats.

Democrats hate Donald Trump. He is the complete opposite of what Democrats want and with every complaint against him, every attempt to take him down, every news article from a left leaning source that talks about his xenophobic remarks makes him look better to the right wing. I'd compare it to the love for Tom Brady of the Patriots. The more the opponent's fans hate Tom Brady, the more Patriots fans love him and make sure he is held in the highest light possible. It's all causing a reverse effect.

But imagine what would happen if we actually had President Trump in 2016. He will either be the worst President ever or he will take off his mask and dupe just about every Republican out there. Oh, and while we are at it, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio would be just as bad. At least some Republicans believe in John Kasich or Rand Paul, people who are actually smart and would make a difference on the Republican side.

So let's all thank the media and the Republican party for Donald Trump.
