What the hell is Trump?

Careful there, people like SA does not think that Republicans like you exist. :slight_smile:

As for what Trump is, I see him as the candidate with the richest target environment, as in having lots of very dumb ideas and controversies that will come up in the general election (but I would like to see that). One gets the impression that the media is really letting a lot of those targets alone until the presidential race starts.

One big target that even the media had put their feet over the coals recently were the anti-vaxxers; I do not know about his politics, but one should read what Mr. Miskatonic had to say today in a different thread about people that still insist that vaccines are evil:

We do have to be very unpolite to Trump indeed.

Because Trump is an anti-vaxxer. And Republicans who look at reason (and Independents and Democrats too) are indeed not going to support a guy that can order the Centers of Disease Control or other offices around regarding vaccines, nor to risk giving Trump the most powerful bully pulpit to disparage one of the biggest health triumphs in history.
