Which he hides from no one while all the others lie and obfuscate to hide the man behind the curtain and his hidden goals. With Trump we know what we are going to get, he even tells us on Twitter.

Thank you for proving my point. In an effort to avoid the candidates "bought" by big money donors, Trump's supporters know they are cutting out the middleman and going straight to the buyer. It's about time someone at least acknowledged it. What it says about FR is troubling, though.

Do you honestly think Trump would have not taken advantage of that leveraged position had he been given the same opportunity?

An analysis of Trump’s Iowa failure indicates voters who were real conservatives, with higher critical thinking skills and education stayed away Trump.

Conservative voters were likely influenced by disturbing vital facts about candidate Trump, in that he is a:
Life long New Yawk liberal who has serious issues of poor judgement and being untrustworthy, ie:
multiple bankruptcies,
engaged in unconstitutional eminent domain lawsuits against the little guy,
created a fraudulent get rich “Trump University”,
and relies heavily on Huge loans from Too-Big-Too-Fail bank loan for edifices to his ego.

Supporters can mutually eat a meal fit for their “unappreciated” strong dad / weak detail attention-whore king -
crow ;n)

snip
Here’s how Trump’s loss played out, according to NBC’s exit polls.

As predicted, Trump performed best among voters with a high-school education or lower. But those voters represented only 16% of the electorate on Monday. Voters who had any education beyond high school — 84% of the electorate — mostly broke for Rubio and Cruz over Trump.

 The mogul performed best among self-identified moderate Republican voters, a vastly smaller share of caucusgoers than those who referred to themselves as conservative.

Of the 40% of voters who considered themselves very conservative, Cruz captured 44% of the vote, compared with Trump’s 21%. Rubio won among the 45% of voters who considered themselves somewhat conservative, netting 29% of that portion of the vote to Trump’s 24%.

And despite last-minute endorsements and appearances with major evangelical figures like Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, Trump also trailed among religious voters, who made up 62% of the GOP electorate on Monday. Cruz ran away with this group, beating Trump by 12 points.

The way everyone is going on, Trump has lost the election. It is one odd state, Iowa...and Trump did well there! Pace yourselves people, play nice, because in the end, we all have to be on the same team!

I agree, that is what he’s saying. Probably could have been a bit more clear, but then again it would come out as an attack. He just can’t win with the angels here and across the country.

I personally hope he sticks to his plan and takes nothing from the big mouth frauds. Politics really is for losers, imo.

Anyone that has self funded a campaign comes to the conclusion it was not worth the money spent, it was not worth it.

All he is selling me is a better economy, no more illegals, death to Islamic terrorists, better quality of life and the return of American hegemony. All that is in it for Trump is the same thing he will bring for us and the knowledge he was able to do it for America. Find fault with that and I pity you.

So Cruz didn't call Ben or have his staff contact them to see if this was true? He immediately assumed it was and ran with it for political gain - including at the caucus being attended in person by Carson's wife! Sleazy.

It would appear that jumping to conclusions is infectious........

I think Trump is saying that self funding is not resonating like he thought it would and he’s probably going to quit harping on it.

Donald Trump seems to be a bit peeved at the voters for
not appearing to appreciate him spending his own money on
his campaign. - Maybe he’s beginning to wonder if this
running for President thingy is losing its attraction for
him. - His stated stand on the Muslim “asylum seekers” was
his strong suit with me. IF they don’t get that mess right;
either it’s gonna be WWIII on this continent and fighting
to the last man or woman to preserve this country or else
the Jihadist Caliphate rammed down our throats! AGH (Ain’t.
Gonna. Happen.) HAY ULL NO!!!!!!!

Now, I was gonna crawl over rough gravel to get to the polls
and vote for him if he got the Republican nomination. Him
or any of the non-elites that they put forth to run on the
Republican ticket. Just NO MORE RINOs!

You sound like an Obama voter in 2008. He promised hope and change and his followers were all in. All Trump has shown in policy terms so far is words... and many of those words differ from prior words. His actual political background is funding the establishment in Washington, DC.

Find how Trump plans to give you your promised utopia, I challenge you.

“I don’t believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!”
Hate on the voters.

No just another example of how a narcissist reacts to anything said or done to them in a negative way.
