Quote:It's a stupid point to make because most voters period for any candidate don't even know who the VP is let alone have a good idea about policy.


Voting based on emotion is not unique to Trump supporters.

Well, I won't argue against that. Most candidates have at least a small portion of a personality cult within them.


However, what we are seeing with trump and his rallies takes that cult of personality and raises it to a level that really resonates with a specific section of the gop population.


That's all I'm saying. My point has been studied by political scientists, socialists, and psychologists for decades. I'm not saying anything new here.


It's truly a fascinating thing to witness, if not a bit unnerving if you are not a huge fan of a nationalistic authoritarian potentially being elected president.
