What a terrible choice; I still hope it doesn’t turn out that way.

If Trump is elected as a so-called conservative Republican, he will fail — he’s able right now to say anything with impunity, but reality isn’t as forgiving. If he starts a trade war, it will drive the world into recession or depression. That failure will taint conservatism and the Republican Party for a long time, and the end result could easily be a solid turn by the public to the left.

The Italian Fascist movement was republican and anti-clerical before it was monarchist and clerical. Then after the king fired him in '43 it became republican again.

I'm just waiting for Trump to put on the fez and black shirt and watch all the former conservative defenders of individualism break out the truncheons and the castor oil.

Hey the TRump train is rolling down the tracks. Make America Great Again is not about Fascism. Its about freedom and capitalism. Embrace the wonder. :-)

Has Trump ever elaborated on how he's going to make America great again? Does he have a program? Or does he merely repeat that phrase over and over and let his fans project their own beliefs onto him?

I seriously hope Trump can be trusted. Really, I do. If he is elected and turns out to be a great president, I will be happy. But whether I'm right or wrong, I just don't trust him.

No, Zapata was not a bad guy-he just couldn’t accomplish the goals of freedom for himself and his followers in a non-violent fashion in the master/serf society he lived in-my grandfather greatly admired Zapata-he was the one who gave me the framed print, when I was about 14, reading “Atlas Shrugged” for the first time and already becoming an unrepentant rebel in the family tradition.

Villa was more of a bandito-he may have had his noble moments, but his motives had more of an element of self-promotion and profit...

And of course, you will weep for the benighted masses who didn't appreciate your sagacity when it all could have been avoided.

Pul-ease! This ain't a docu-drama, and you ain't the protagonist.

Hey feel free to read Trump’s position papers. Very informative. He has rock solid ideas. You are going to love him as President. Promise! :-)

I'm afraid I have no idea what it is you're trying to say.

Georgia Girl . . . I sincerely hope that Trump is the man you and so many others think he is. And that's the truth.

You know why I think Trump will be great? Every four year the GOP voters are faced with another form of mediocrity running for the GOP nomination. The best and brightest of our country don’t run for President. They are the captains of industry where the paycheck is big. Once in a million years one of them Donald Trump has decided he’s so sick of it he will run for President and fix things. He knows its not that hard to figure stuff out if you are not bought and paid for by special interests. WE are blessed to have this guy willing to give up four years of his fantabulous life to try to make America great again.

Trump Deniers should be imprisoned.

It's robot-fools like you who have caused a large falling ofd in JR's Freepathons. I'm proud to be one of the withholders, until JR gets a grip on this lunacy that abounds here of lae. If the foolishness and infantile crap such as yours ever goes away, "JJ" I 'may' reconsider.....

In the meantime - somewhat off topic - Hillary belongs in prison, and Trump belongs in a mental health facility...........some choice we gots!

....and I'm fully prepped for the zot, if that's the way Jim wants to go, for what it's worth.

I apologize for your lack of humor and I’m terribly sorry you’re so offended.

Have a nice day.

We knew the depths of your problem.

You didn’t have to tell us.

I do appreciate the momentary period of honesty.

Now back to bashing Trump and anyone who doesn’t agree with you.

Meanwhile, to hell with F.R., it’s owner didn’t stifle the first amendment rights over everyone except the supporters of the Constitutional expert.

Do you folks every have a slight tinge, that you might have been wrong all along?

Ern, the guy in post six was picking up off the hysteria coming out of the Cruz tent.

Nobody seriously thinks he was serious, except you folks.

Sad thing is, you don’t have any idea what this looked like to others.

At the end of two months, we have about the same amount of money raised we have had raised the last few campaigns.

Jim does a damn good job here.

Sorry, pal, I don’t do ultimatums. So if you feel FR is no longer your cup of tea, just do us all a favor and turn the channel. At least we can part as friends.

When your third party is successful to get seats in Congress then we talk. Until than sit down and be quiet.

That's not an effective way to convince people to vote for your candidate — especially when one of the main concerns is Trump's authoritarian streak!

I know that you probably don't mean it literally, but sheesh, you're not being very persuasive. Trump may seem like he can't lose now, but you're going to need every vote you can get in the general election (if he actually gets that far).

Something small, according to Rubio.
