Quote:While I am inclined to agree, if he is a caricature created by and propped up by the left, why is the right eating it up and loving it?

 

Some on the right are, but not the people that matter the most (real voters).  Where I work by far the majority of people are republican/right-leaning, and the sentiment was that they could back Trump because he isn't "a politician".  I somewhat agreed with the point and certainly understand that point of view.  As early as last week I heard many around work saying that they would prefer him and shunned people that I like (Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Scott Walker).  However, after the debate the talk has certainly changed.  Some are talking about Rubio and Cruz as well as Carly Fioroina and Ben Carson.  There is little to no support for Jeb Bush and most can not stand Rand Paul.

 

What is puzzling is how those on the very far right (examples of whom I stated earlier, Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham) can be so clearly behind Donald Trump.  I do know that Ringo has brought up Sean Hannity as being very supportive of Donald Trump, but I haven't seen or heard any actual dialog that supports that claim (I did ask Ringo if he could provide a link).  I also don't know what Rush Limbaugh has to say about it.  I don't watch/listen to their shows or read their columns much.

 

Contrary to what those on the left use as an "attack" or "talking point", I don't form my opinion based on opinionated broadcasters or columnists.  I try to do my own research and reach my own conclusions.

 

With all of that being said, it does seem odd to me how Donald Trump is "the story" in the news.  The actual facts are not the story, it's the so-called "attacks" on him.
