8. I'm not even sure Orwell's quote applies to Trump

Trump doesn't even bother to disguise his lies and support for murder with clever political language. His supporters basically just want to be lead by a tough guy. His supporters I've met tend to agree with me that he's a liar, but they like that he lies with confidence :-P

15. The "appearance of solidarity to pure wind" is pure Trump

Like he will get along fabulously with Putin and put Isis in a hole with his magical ability to read and write contracts, some of which recently were broken by trump vs. Entertainment industry when he began running and calling Mexicans rapists and murderers. If trump is so great at contracts, why all the firings and subsequent lawsuits while he's running for president? Hey, msm, get smart and follow the money, some of which are open court documents, maybe.

knock each other out of the race... but then we'd have the rest of the clown car to deal with. At least for now they seem so insignificant.

And people call Mrs Clinton a weathervane.

Of course, there's always Mrs Palin, but I think he wants her for SoS.

9. Much as I dislike Cruz, I would apply the term "Jerk" to Trump first if I had to choose.

Cruz at least seems to think a little before he speaks. Doesn't think enough and usually still thinks wrongly but that is better than just spewing a la Trump and Palin.

Usually you have family, friends and political allies who like you and support your run for office. Who's supporting ted? Just the pro lifers? Who else? I guess the xtian fundies, too. Ok, there are two extremist groups who support him, and that's it.
