    Loud, self-obsessed, brash, dishonest, more interested in drawing attention to himself than in any real basketball discussion, etc., etc.?

    I think so.

    Starting a thread about another poster is an obsessive act.

    To be fair, Apo has been muted lately and given way for new trolls to merge, like UNT.

    Can you American friends explain to an uninformed European what kind of appeal Donald Trump has? Maybe it's a cultural difference thing, but every time I listen to him speak I think "How can any person want this guy as his ruler?".

    Yeah, this is a basketball forum and the spurs basketball subforum. Keep political stuff away tbh. There's a section you can post this in.

    "But its not political its just pointing out how apo is". Yeah its totally not bait for people to start talking politics.

    Trump expresses the anger any sensible US citizen has against the media and our govt. It's palpable and real...and people identify with it and him. We are not like Europeans. We don't like heavy handed authority. In fact, we left Europe to NOT be like Europeans.

    Having said that...I prefer Cruz. But, if you want to understand Trump, you need to understand the anger US people feel towards our out-of-control govt and corrupt media. That is why TRUMP is so popular. But, either way...he's still better than Hillary. By a long shot.

    Shouldn't this be in the Political forum?

    Are you that stupid that you'd try and equate Muhammad to Gandhi?

    Hitler only appealed to Crazy Germans. Muhammad only has 1000 years in time and every country/race has followers of his words. Not to mention his followers are all strict relative to followers of other people.

    Makes sense that a racist like you would love Muhammad, tbh.

    Hitler appealed to the German masses because he tapped into their post-WWI strife and basic human frustration, and successfully convinced millions that there was blame to be placed on someone else's shoulders. Most Germans had little to no idea what the Nazis were really doing, they just saw a passionate leader promising to vanquish some foreign foe and restore German glory. Hardly just "crazy Germans". Trump is succeeding in primaries because he's more or less doing the same thing.

    So, you think Trump is intent on world domination?

    The success of his campaign so far is largely due to the fact that his no-apologies tactics and willingness to demonize "others" (women, gays, Muslims, Mexico, etc.) taps into a fairly common, primal instinct in people. People who are dissatisfied with where we are right now need something to be angry at, and for someone to give that anger a place to vent. Trump offers that. Post-9/11 paranoia is easy to take out on Islam as an en y, problems with illegal immigration are easily blamed on Mexico, and so on. Basically, he's appealing (to some, not to me) because his rhetoric doesn't require (or want, really) logical thought and allows people to engage emotionally in their frustrations. It's why his rallies are so controversial and have lately been erupting in violence. He also succeeds with a lot of conservatives because a substantial portion of the Republican voter base tends to be politically reactionary. It's an ongoing narrative in the United States that conservative Republicans usually turn out in elections in higher numbers than their more progressive counterparts, and the Obama presidency - regardless of how history will view it logically - has fired up a lot of conservative voters. A similar thing happened in 2008 after the disastrous Bush administration, when progressives and younger voters overwhelmingly swept Obama into office. American politics is often a game of pendulum swings. 8 years of Bush begets 8 years of Obama, and now Trump has ignited a fire in the conservative base that speaks to a primal aspect of their personalities. There is no logical appeal of that man.

    Well, clearly you think he has some grand sinister motive to compare him to Hitler.

    Since Trump appeals more to me...and he doesn't appeal to you at all. I suggest you have no clue as to what his appeal is to people like me. Because you've totally missed it in your response. Since he doesn't appeal to you, I wonder why you would even try to come up with an explanation on what his appeal is...how would you know? You don't. Yet, you can't help projecting your own fears and hatred...onto others. The violence isn't by Trump supporters. It's by those people blocking roads and trying to shut down him down. All the while saying it is others doing and promoting violence and hatred. Who are you lying to here?....and why am I talking politics to a ing moron? lol
