Carson has been working hard on Facebook. Several posts a day. Usually pictures of supporters or their adorable children holding up hand made sign supporting him. Its cheap and obviously working. He has yet to come out FOR any thing and I expect will not do well in debate.

I would like to see the debates and see how Trump does in that forum. If he goes 3rd Party—I would like to see him run hard—get in all 50 states—Democrats would be pleased—media help Trump in hopes for a GOP defeat—then, two weeks before the election—Trump drops out and puts all his support for the GOP person and slams the Democrats! Giving the race to the Repubicans! I don’t think that would happen—Trump would not throw good money after bad.

Sununu and Cuban wishful thinking. Find the story about Barron Hilton, property in AC and the check for 350 million that appeared before dessert was over.
Past elections have had candidates drop out because
1.their financial bankers withdrew or couldn’t match anothers funding (not going to happen)
2 Social embarrassment (Trump owns his with no apology. Its very public)
3 They make a marketing or sales blunder. (Competitors need to get their noses out of Alinsky and into Trump)
4 Right now he’s more successful with women than men (wait till his wife, daughter(s) and family friend Paris Hilton hit the scene. He will get much support from young low information male)

E None of the above!

I think Trump is a successful high profile grifter, the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party is packed full of grifters,con men,charlatans and assorted deceivers, I truly enjoy watching Trump run a con on his fellow tricksters, thinking conservatives should all carefully observe Trumps endeavors he is working his charm, charisma and con to the benefit of conservatives it is like fighting fire with fire, conservatives should be aware Trump is what he is and conservatives should not be taken in by the con, he knows what he is doing and has done it before, it is working, he would still be a grifter as president. Trump is telling the truth and that is the best circumstance a con man can ask for, we should see him as nothing more than a useful tool to stave off the enemy, a tool that is sharp and strong but when it gets worn set it aside; a dull tool is an extreme danger to work with.

I take a lot of heat every time I say these things about Trump and this is why I worry about so many conservatives being sucked in by the drama... enjoy the show and observe the benefit that’s what I do, but don’t become a victim; conservatives are the ultimate prize in this con.

A successful grifter generally has a bit of a conscience and does not take the victim for everything, he always leaves enough to assuage some guilty feelings, kind of like what happens with unearned entitlements scam/con et al, it turns the con inside out so it appears as a very good thing.

If Trump can stay out of the weeds I think he has a good chance to become the GOP nominee.

I am certain Trump or Cruz are the only two with a chance to win the general election.

I agree with “A”, on one condition. If Trump makes this a single issue campaign, this is if he states explicitly vote for me and I will secure the borders and stop illegal immigration, I don’t see how he can lose.

And as to his audiences, they have as much as said, "we don't agree with everything he has said or done, but we like that he is a fighter, an iconoclast, his authenticity, and the fact that he isn't PC...and we think the other candidates just fade away in comparison. We are desperate and want our country back again."

Not only that ..but the Trump conglomerate is in the capable hands of the Trump family...

I see Trump settling in for 2 terms with a hand off to Cruz.

I vote A

Add this: Stay in long enough to force the “mainstream” Republicans to address issues they all tapdance around.

has a long track record of supporting liberal issues and candidates - basically all the things they would not forgive were it any other GOP candidate.
/////
The reason they forgive is because Trump has said what nobody has said to China and Mexico especially THE WAY HE HAS SAID IT....and he has done it on his own dime and he has FOUGHT VISCIOUSLY.

So I will forgive him for his past as long as he fights in the present. In ten days those debates will show us how he reacts surrounded by the enemy.

They have been sold a bill of goods. Trump talks a good game...

YAY!

I am in 100% agreement with you though.
