He's going to win some states, he's pretty much the exclusive choice for the religious right. He'll at least get South Carolina.

Listen to today's epi of This American Life . I don't think ppl realize the attraction power of trump to the far right.

MakeItRain · « **Reply #202 on:** February 01, 2016, 11:42:20 AM »

The far right and the religious right aren't quite the same. I think of the Ammon Bundy's of the world when I think far right.

Yes, it was fascinating.

Sure. however, the epi I mentioned was specific to the religious far right. It was about a popular evangelical radio host and his frustration with other evangelicals in this state(NC, iirc) and their love for trump. The story started off saying that he holds enough sway that politicians usually court him for his endorsement prior to running. Cruz did that and he was full on for Cruz. Then, over time, he was inundated with pro trump participation in his call in show and he couldn't/can't argue what he perceives as sense into his listeners. The guy is a Doctoral pastor and has thoughts about giving up his show because of this. He is pretty upset how twisted the populace is with trump and religion.

Hmmm, interesting I wonder if this is a regional phenomenon amongst the religious far right or a national one. For instance it seems like the Sammy fans in Kansas would be much more aligned with Cruz. Don't people know Trump is pro choice?

The radio pastor said that he thinks it is simply everyone's emotions taking control and their brains justifying the rest. I agree. He said that the amt of anger that he is hearing is new and substantial. Trump is drawing that out and blinding everyone from their rational logical thoughts with their own emotional response. It is pretty amazing, imo.

I finally figured out what it is about Cruzs the grates on my nerves. When he speaks he keeps sounding like he straining to pass a rock hard turd that has been lodged in his gut sideways for 2 months. I like many of his stances, but 8 years of primal guteral crapping groans would send me to the nut farm.

There is plenty I don't like about Cruz, but this is just stupid. If I was being filmed all the time there would be plenty of times I would get caught with my kid not liking me much. Its got to be even worse with the amount of time he's gone. Anyone that has kids should see this as being completely a stupid thing.

There is way too much focus on personal life in politics. Unless someone has something near criminal in their personal realm, personal life should be ignored completely, imo.

Yeah, listening to that made me sad and pissed simultaneously. I wholly disagree that something like infidelity has anything to do with political office. The tabloid-like transition is the worst. I hated the reasoning given by the journalist interviewed for why the press made such a switch. How he said they all felt like they should have dug deeper and should have known and warned someone. How he made it sound like they were asleep at the wheel. I mean, the comparison of this to Watergate and Nixon's paranoia is outrageous. That is such bullshit. Dig deeper, as a journalist, and if anything important is there, report it. That doesn't include if he is a good husband, dad, son, etc. That is just a bullshit cop out to cover up the fact that they are doing it to sell more content. Honestly, this is the first Radiolab I have listened to that made me a little angry with Radiolab for presenting it all like this and not calling bullshit on that dumbass.
