Mark Leibovich: Trump's success due to 'racism, gullibility' of GOP voters

All of the reasons in that list blame the supporter, they don't blame the system. I can find the same kind of list for Sanders supporters but it would not only be disingenuous, but unfair.

Strange that if you support an anti-establishment person like Sanders you're enlightened and sick of the system and wise. But if you support an anti-establishment like Trump you're an ignorant racist.

I will say that the idea of just voting for someone outside of the norm is tempting, even if that alternative is the buffoon Trump. But when it comes down to it, I probably won't because Trump really is that bad.

There are millions like you. You know better, you probably shouldn't, but you just might because what the hey. Not criticizing. Take a thousand guys who have no history of drug use, throw them in a thousand rooms and tell them you'll be back in a week, and here's a bag of coke to pass the time and absolutely nothing else. When you come back you're not going to find all thousand bags untouched. Trump is your lines of coke because you're curious. Lots of people will be curious and a lot of people who three months ago hated Trump may find themselves begrudgingly checking his name come November.

Back in the 80's I would've done my bag and prolly a few others as well.

Four of the threads on the front page in this forum: Racists love Trump, Trump in Misogynist, My relationship was ruined by Trump. Can't say the opposition (both sides) are not pulling out all the stops

Are you saying we should be paying more attention to Trump?

what's strange to me is anyone who thinks trump is 'anti establishment'

why find the same kind of list when you could write it yourself - that's what i did. i'd love to see what you think of sanders supporters. even more so - i'd love to see where you take issue on sanders' policies. honestly, i don't think there's anything you could say to make me think poorly of sanders' supporters. i am a firm believer in the right to protest, in civil disobedience. and what trump said about what 'used to happen to protestors'? i find that sort of thinking an affront to freedom.

Elvira Hancock, strangely enough Pfiefer wasn't even on the radar for that part until it was turned down by numerous actresses.

Before Pfeiffer was cast as Hancock, Rosanna Arquette, Melanie Griffith and Kim Basinger turned down the part whereas Geena Davis, Carrie Fisher and Sharon Stone did not get the part despite auditioning for it.^[2]Kelly McGillis and Sigourney Weaver were also considered.^[3] Initially, Pacino did not want Pfeiffer to play Hancock, instead he wanted Glenn Close to play the role.^[4][5] Pfeiffer's agent called the film's producer Martin Bregman and requested him to pay for her transportation from Los Angeles to New York. Bregman refused and Pfeiffer reached the audition theater on the West Side of Manhattan by her own means. Bregman said in a later interview that, after the audition he was sure that she would get Hancock's part.^[6] Pfeiffer said that during the shoot she felt hungry.^[7]
