Video excerpt, less than a minute and a half in length, of concerted hand-wringing from this morning's Meet The Press.
Comments on Mclame “it’s over for Trump!!!”
fox debate “:t’s the death knell for Trump”
kicked poor little old lady with 14 kittens who had to eat dog food, out of her house “he’s done!!”
Said Heidie Klum is not a 10 “blasphemy”!!!
Basically says every other repub candidate is a joke except Cruz (who i still love) “he’s toast!!”
Some high up in Mexico basically said that Mexico couldn’t afford to take back the illegals, so Trump was right. They sent the worst. They would take back doctors and businessmen and educated etc. They dont want back the uneducated, the gang members, the ex cons, the mothers with kids to support.
I have always liked Cruz, and am not smart enough to understand how H1b affects the country.
But I like alot of what Trump has to say too.
I would love to see a Trump/Cruz ticket in either direction, but I thought you always wanted a VP from a State that you are not already winning.
Could Trump bring New York? Dont know.
But Cruz brings with him conservative religious, which is a big boost
I predict that these feckless, duplicitous, treacherous backstabbing establishment types will be trumped.
Trump has an awful lot more substantial subjects to discuss. It’s not about to become stale, at least I don’t think so.
Trump frightens the GOP-E. They know that if we get a President Trump, he will change the Washington political landscape. Washington lobbyists won’t control him or his administration and that scares them to death. If Trump does go all the way, a lot of people better get used to the phrase “You’re Fired!”.
They don't mind losing the election - they just don't want to lose their jobs as consultants to the GOPe.
Clearly, the Establishment Republicans are “misunderestimating” the vast populist appeal that The Donald is bringing to the race for the nomination, and they (mistakenly) think The Donald may have ALREADY peaked.
There is no evidence that such an outcome is likely or even probable. The only obstacle for The Donald is The Donald himself, and he has been unusually adept at dodging around any engagement with that stumbling block.
People are coming out and showing their recognition and positive attitudes toward The Donald that haven’t been engaged in any kind of national debate in YEARS, if ever.
Outside the graveyard has been the locality of a great deal of whistling of late.
I gonna gitcha, sucka. (Evil laugh) (Sounds of fast running and even the beginnings of a shriek as whistling stops)
Only argument with your post is I believe Trump has great respect for Carson as well as Cruz.
The only conclusion I can make is that the GOPe wants the exact outcome the Communists want. The only difference is the pace at which they want to bring us along.This has been true since Bush 1.
These buffoons are hilarious because they automatically assume that if they can just shaft Trump and get Jeb or one of their other RINOs nominated, that Trump’s former supporters will happily vote for their RINO de jure. Boy, would they be in for a big surprise if they somehow pull off their dump Trump miracle! Say hello to President Sanders!
Everyone is a prophet in their own mind. The truth is, anything could happen. Finally voters are starting to think for themselves. Let’s hope it lasts.
same here......I don’t give a flip what the ‘strategists’ say
I remeber that line from the Bushies
I keep seeing this statement. There is zero logic or reason to it. Trump is in the lead. Out of a field of 17 candidates, he's far ahead of all of them to include the GOPe golden boy Jeb. Yet he should drop out of the Republican party and go Independent? Now? For what reason?
How dare those “vulgar, unwashed masses” think that they should have some say in who the Republican candidate will be.
“they automatically assume that if they can just shaft Trump and get Jeb or one of their other RINOs nominated”
I’m worried that they actually can/might do exactly that. Say Trump wins every single primary and caucus. When it comes to the RNC Convention, don’t the delegates have the power to name someone else when their states’ names are called? It’s possible for the RINO/GOPe to manipulate the delegates’ votes, isn’t it? They’re not above bribery.
I don’t know. Just asking...
You know, embarrassingly i dont even know which state Carson is from.
His smart humor in the debate was refreshing.
His not being able to answer some questions over the year that a person running for president should know, such as who was the fed chairman, i think...i dont know how important that is.
I feel like he’s not getting enough press time for me to figure out who he really is.
Too bad Kasich is pure RINO because we could definitely use Ohio in the Win category.
Not that we cant win it anyway
He is so hated by real Conservatives
I think what 4 Million stayed at home last election and got Obama again
Trump maybe could bring NY. Who knows, at the rate he’s going?
Welcome back, btw. Haven’t seen you in a while.
Fair questions.
It is my understanding that Rove, Prebus, and the rest of the RNC/GOPe hold the final cards when the primaries roll around, regardless of their popularity. It’s pretty clear that not only is Bush the chosen one to run against the Dem, but they want Trump gone; eliminated.
I am going on this assumption and some history of what the RNC does to those they don’t like. New Jersey, Delaware, Mississippi come to mind.
In addition, to do it now give Trump and whomever the time to either develop the necessary infrastructure for a national campaign or piggyback on an existing one (such as what Ted Cruz may already have).
In the interest of full disclosure, almost nobody I know or have heard from agrees with my assessment. But for the above reasons I think it’s the only way to get it done.
Anyway, that’s my reasoning.
You’re exactly right, Trump doesn’t just threaten a simple election, he threatens their FUTURE corrupt plans, their FUTURE power and position — this is more than 1 election to them he is a LETHAL threat to them. Watch out.
