Demonstrates who he is marketing to. Remember so many are so extremist as to believe torture is good. A damning question is, "How many are that wacko extremist?" Trump and Cruz demonstrate the number may be even much higher than we fear.

Remember, Zimbarto demonstrated how easily so many can be brainwashed. His experiment ordered people to ramp up voltages as someone screamed as if in pain in an adjacent room. Most of us are so easily brainwashed as to continue ramping up that voltage ONLY because we want to be told how to think.

Or view Guantanamo. How many so hate American principles as to want America to violate basic human rights. So many were so wacko extremists as to openly encourage extraordinary rendition of any non-American citizen anywhere in the world for any reason. IOW so many are so extremist as to approve of the kidnapping and torture of Sundae, DanaC, limey, monster, and Aliantha. George Jr said it is legal. So it must be legal.

What Trump says does not even make sense to Republican Party power brokers such as the Koch Bros. Yet there it is. He has successfully tapped a large market in the Republican party. It demonstrates how many entertain their emotions rather then first learn from reality.
