What's important here is the shifting of the 'Overton window'. Trump has already shifted it so he's done more already than probably any other politician in the last 40 years.

Nonsense. He's excited the redneck constituency, who have been singing from that hymn book since forever. But thats it. If anything, in the mainstream, Trump has made those 'taboo' topics like immigrants and muslims even more taboo. How else can you explain his pathetic backpeddling on the muslim ban? No doubt he's frantically looking for an exit strategy for his wall that everyone knows will never happen.

What he's proposing? Misty, he's not proposing anything - no really. The muslim ban and the wall and nukes for Japan and Korea were never proposals, and anyone with half a brain knew they are never going to happen. The brilliance, or idiocy (whichever way you want to look at it) of Trump, is that he wins such popular appeal amongst the right by saying absolutely nothing. Just mindless droning about 'political correctness' and vague references to the out-of-touch establishment. He's nothing but a con-man misty, and I'm afraid he's got you reeled in hook line and sinker.

The haters have had a definite shift since he became the presumptive nominee.

First it was "Pfft Trump - hes a joke candidate! A clown - he wont win a single vote".

Then it was "how he dare he say this stuff???!!! and whats more - people are loving it! It's an outrage!!

Since Trump became the presumptive nominee, they've transitioned into Phase 3 - bargaining.
"Oh sure, so he's in with a shot - but it doesn't matter, he's a sell out anyway! He won't do nuffin!

Thats funny, I thought thats what Trump is doing now.

Do you think his backpeddling on muslims has anything to do with his bargaining with Paul Ryan and other establishment repugs to get their endorsement?

This country of ours can learn a lot from the damage islam inflicts on its hosts nations. It is a religion for simpletons and psychopaths. Nothing more, it is utterly useless and worthless.

complacency & we hadn't accounted for voluntary elections ... most people were so sure he wouldn't make it they couldn't be bothered making the effort to go to vote ... lets hope they learn their lesson and actually vote during the real election or Trump Bradbury might get elected by default

Of course, the principles of politics haven't changed. He's still just one man. Were you expecting an overnight revolution at all, let alone before the election?

Not at all Honk - I expected exactly what is transpiring now - that is Trump talking crap about nothing at all - and then for Trump to reveal, lo and behold that he had been talking crap about nothing at all all along.

Yes, all is going according to the divine plan.

May your transition to acceptance be swift, and not too depressing.

Namaste.
