In "Network" whole cities of people ran to the windows and started shouting Beale's insane rant, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
That what the Trump followers are doing, Sirk. Shouting "I'm mad as hell" without knowing what to do about it. Neither did Beale in the movie. He said exactly that, "I don't know what to do about it, but we need to get mad!"
Trump in real life is saying the exact same thing. He hasn't a clue what to do, but boy can he get people stirred up and mad. To what end? "It is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." ("Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 9, Lines 26-28)
Anyone can identify a problem. It takes leadership, intellect, and commitment to actually solve it. Trump is not insane as was the character Beale, but he is woefully short on all three of these counts.
Then it it truly a mystery why you would get so excited about people telling the truth about him, if he is not "your boy," is it not?

Then for God's sake, look for a leader, not a buffoon without a clue! Geez!
Which is exactly why they wind up following either insanity (Beale in the movie) or ignorance (Trump).
I'm not the people following Trump are true conservatives or GOP voters anyway. They need to be educated, though, you're right, not alienated. And if they're educated, they'll abandon Trump in a New York minute.

They ARE looking for a leader...and right now trump is giving a pretty significant percentage of people the hope that one even exists. My personal belief is that Cruz is hanging back and that he is the only one politically savy enough not blow up his campaign by going after trump...like so many are...including here on this very site. Jumping to conclusions is the point when a person quits thinking and it suggests emotionally based responses vs a calm, cool, collected and reasoned responses.

The U.S. Code and relevant court decisions have determined that "a natural born citizen" being one who is born subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, including, generally, those born in the United States, those born to U.S. citizen parents in foreign countries, and those born in other situations meeting the legal requirements for U.S. citizenship "at birth." (Maskell, Jack (November 14, 2011). "Qualifications for President and the 'Natural Born' Citizenship Eligibility Requirement"
(PDF). Congressional Research Service. p. 2.)
Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, when his parents were working in the Canadian oil business. His mother, Eleanor, is a native-born American, while his father, Rafael, is a Cuban who didn't become a U.S. citizen until 2005. He is qualified to be president of the United States under the United States Code, per relevant court decisions.
That's an excellent analysis of Trump's future as a presidential candidate.

Oh yes, the 'ol bandwagon argument 
When's the GOP going to wake up from its coma and start promoting their candidates that are actually good, that have actual experience and positive records?
Frankly, like I said months ago in the GOP topic, with the GOP promoting people like Trump, Fiorina, Carson, and Cruz I have to think that the GOP is intentionally trying to let Hillary win.
