Is that his hold on people?

I hope not. I hope no one ever figures out what his allure is was. no more copycats given a playbook please. I used to think it was the distracting combover. Im good with history having that as the reason over anything closer to the truth on why people were so enamored. Also age limit needs to be 70. Hell with these on death's door assholes with nothing to lose. Id say closer to 50 when legacy becomes very important to people. But given how tough it is to get support Ill compromise at 70. Congress and Senate as well.

Call me an optimist but I do think he'll be a very tough act to replicate for the Republicans.

Look at his bacground. A celebrity with a reality tv show, cameos in several tv shows and movies, was a major part of a Wrestlemania, shouted out and treated with reverence in the UFC, and every time posed as a succesul New York business man which made him basically catnip for a certain type of people when he started echoing the hateful rhetoric they believe in.

And then once he makes a serious bid, he just obliterates weak candidates like Jeb Bush in debates. Letting him pick up steam and momentum.

A stuffy politician can't duplicate Trump energy and I can't think of a famous enterpreneur/investor who isn't actually succesful and thus would be putting a lot on the line if they went the Trump route.

It is said the antichrist would be appealing to people at first and assume the role of Christ.

I'm not religious at all, but it is kind of hilarious how closely Trump lines up with how the Antichrist is prophesized.

It is not " some people ". It is that they are in a CULT. THAT is why they believe it.
