I hate Huff Post. Yes - I am THOROUGHLY Liberal. I enjoyed the candor of this Donald Trump discussion. Trump DOES speak to a swath of America and I won't deny it. Interesting take on WHY he is doing so well from a liberal / Dem perspective . (Not GOP/Conservative Offensive)

It's an interesting article and while I won't venture to say whether I lean left or right, I agree with the overall sentiment. Trump has hit a nerve that is the point we should all take away from this. I vehemently disagree with some of the things he says, but at least I don't wonder if he's telling the truth.

Wow, Baldwin (who appears drunk and/or high in the photo) got this one right! Trump calls it like he sees it, and it is refreshing to hear freedom of speech again. Almost forgot what it sounded like.

I can't argue! I hope that everyone opens their eyes and ears! We need all to really THINK, research and THINK again about the upcoming elections! God bless the USA! We could really use it!!

I don't believe that Trump has any chance of winning the nomination, nor will he be elected President.

He is popular right now because of his honesty, not necessarily his opinions.

I despise the man and find a lot of his views and statements reprehensible, however, I always know when he is telling the truth and what his opinion is.

It's not that people want him to be President. It's that they want other candidates to look at his candor and honesty and replicate that, even if it means losing votes.
