THE TRUMP PHENOMENON (10/09)

Could someone please, please explain to me how and why large numbers people in Arizona and elsewhere, men and women who I assume are normally sane and ethical, continue to vote for and lend their support to a man who is a cheat, an adulterer, a liar and the virtual apotheosis of the seven deadly sins?

I find it truly amazing that a man who continues to undermine the political institutions and moral fabric of the United States is allowed to continue to swing his wrecking ball leaving in his wake nothing but rancor and despair. Is it that the public is asleep at the wheel and doesn't see it as a problem, that global warming IS really a hoax, our newspapers CAN'T distinguish facts from fiction, that Putin is REALLY an enlightened despot, Kim Jong Un a benevolent killer and our allies and neighbors a bunch of immoral spongers? Well, we will eventually reap the harvest from the seeds the President and his supporters are sowing. Please, when the chickens come home to roost do not say you were not warned or you didn't know.
