"If I’m going down, then Bush is going down with me."

Talk about words of true American patriotism!

That ranks up there with... "Give me liberty or give me death" and "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country"... And I don't give one damn what FR TrumpBashers have to say about it!

If you really think about it, Cruz has probably had more people come out to see him than anyone else. Between the bus tour and near endless events he's been seen by a lot of people over the last couple of weeks.

Not only that, but when average, every day people, who may have never given money to a campaign before give $10, 25, 100 or 500 dollars, they’re on your side.

Choice quotes:

"This may be bluster; he [Trump] may underestimate the grind of a desperate presidential campaign."

"“His numbers are going to come down, and then he’s going to panic,” a Trump friend told me."

"This is a prospect that is likely terrifying for Trump — and should, in turn/"

I don't think Trump gets desperate, panics or otherwise terrified. The article is poppycock.

“When — if? — Trump withdraws from the campaign, he will no longer have a ready landing pad on television. (His Apprentice deal with NBC has been canceled, too.) This is a prospect that is likely terrifying for Trump...”

Right you are. What a bunch of nonsense that statement is. As you say, he could start his own network. There would also be lots of offers for shows of his own if he were interested. He’s a ratings guarantor.

I hope Trump has a contingency plan that if the RNC decide to exclude him from the debates, that he will be able to hold his own debates.

Of course the RNC would threaten any other Republican from joining in these debates, so he would have to offer them “insurance”, that he will restore, out of his own pocket, any resources the RNC denies them.

Oddly enough, this wouldn’t need to be very much, because the RNC is not hiding at all who its preferred candidates are.

But his big effort will be to push for a rank and file revolution in the party, in effect a boycott of the RNC leadership. With the end goal of eventually purging the RINOs and GOP-e from the party.

And a tacit warning to their corporate sponsors that if they continue to back the RINOs and GOP-e, they can forget doing any business with the federal government in the future. And no more H1-B visas, trade preferences, corporate welfare, etc.

I sent Trump 60 bucks. And I am getting two MAGA hats for doing so. One red and one white.

Actually, the article misses the real point which is that Trump is very well poised to all but wrap it up on Super Tuesday. If he takes both IA and NH-—not out of the question since he leads in both-—he will get SC, then take most of the SEC states by early March. He is leading big in GA, AL, up substantially in FL, AZ, TX, MO, and NC. The NV caucus is the only one he might not win, only because he hasn’t spent much time there.

The article uses a lot of biased language against Trump, and who are those anonymous “Trump friends” who are quoted?


Trump needs to wise up and not give his time to stooges like this propagandist.

You are dead on correct. Trump can have the nomination warped up on Super Tuesday. Before Fla even votes.

Yes. Even that wouldn't help the worst on the RINOs, e.g. McCain, Graham, McConnell, Boehner et al.

I’m 100 percent for Cruz, but Trump had to, at the last minute, upgrade from the 11,000 seat Mobile AL civic center to the 33,000 seat Ladd-Peebles stadium for this afternoon. It’s great to see filled 400 to 1200 seat rooms for Ted, but Donald is over-flowing auditoriums and upgrading to stadiums. It’s tough to brag about “seen by a lot of people” when competing with that.
