Trump is a buffoon,

If Trump is a buffoon, and yet worth billions, what does that make you?

I'm not a Trumper, I do not think he will make it as the nominee and I don't believe at this point I would vote for him, but a buffoon, he is not.

Using pejoratives to describe him is best left to the, well, left.

He has spoken of Cankles.

Speaking of Republicans, during the last Republican Presidency under yet another Bush President citizenship and our borders became pointless.

So emboldened by lawless violent open borders the illegals became emboldened. Obama simply continued and doubled down on these open border country killing policies.

Dallas Texas 2006.

During war time, 500,000 illegals march on downtown Dallas TX. Same for many other cities.

So emboldened by the Bush open borders dynasty, millions of illegals marched on our major cities making demands and waging foreign flags in your faces. And our borders have remained open and lawless since, millions more pouring in.

After Clinton’s interview aired Tuesday, Trump fired back Wednesday. “Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State in the history of the United States. There’s never been a Secretary of State so bad as Hillary. The world blew up around us. We lost everything, including all relationships. There wasn’t one good thing that came out of that administration or her being Secretary of State,” Trump told NBC News.

Asked if she would be a good president, Trump, 69, said, “She was the worst Secretary of State in the history of our nation. Why would she be a good president? I think she would be a terrible president.”

She was pathetic and powerless, but there is still John Kerry in the running..

Must of had the A/C cranked up....

You notice how Trump has lambasted nearly every Republican in the race and even Republicans who are not running for President and remains mum when it comes to potential opponents like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders?

Trump has relentlessly bashed Hillary and generally criticized Republicans only in response to their ankle-biting re his Mexican and McCain remarks.

This is not a sign of some mental disorder. It’s merely a sign of a person with extreme drive. And folks, in many instances it’s a sign of nothing more than being a very successful Capitalist.

This woman markets herself also. The only thing is, she hasn’t been as successful at it as Trump and Limbaugh.

Perhaps a 12 step program on envy is in order...

BUMP to clear headed FReeper thinking!

“can you find even one of your posts from the past 6 years where you call Obama evil?”

Because we hold this truth to be self-evident. As a conservative on a conservative forum, why do I need to state the obvious????? However, Trump has fooled so many here it is scary.

Only the truly evil could pull that off. It is as if he was the anti-Christ (he is not of course). However, there are things about him, and the ridiculous support he receives that is just plain scary.

That being said, I must wonder if Trump isn’t intentionally wrecking the GOP primary to set up Mrs. Clinton.

I don't think there is a conspiracy, but I do think it is becoming increasingly apparent "the Donald" plans a 3rd party run. He won't be the GOP nominee and he probably knows that, so he may well attempt to parlay what support he generates into a 3rd party run - which will guarantee Hillary win's in 2016 the same way her husband won in 1992 with the help of Ross Perot.

I wouldn't be shocked if after the fact Trump claims that was his plan all along, but I doubt it is - he just rarely admits to being wrong and tries to pretend every error was in fact something he planned all along.

Personally I do not understand why any political party would allow someone to run under it's banner if they don't pledge to support the eventual nominee. There are lots of candidates I dislike including loony Ron Paul, but had he won the Republican nomination I would have voted for him. Again, he may be awful, but overall all the Republican candidates will be less terrible than the Democrat. There is no constitutional right to belong to a political party.

LOL and Amen

Staying home is how we got Obama.

[austinaero]

You bitch!

“In fact he gives a bad name to ANYTHING he associates with.”

Tell it to the veterans he has helped with money. Tell it to the USMC who honored Trump for his support. Trump has associated with veterans for YEARS!! You are obviously IGNORANT of that fact.

WTH have YOU done for our military?

In fact, what makes YOU so perfect? Nevermind. Stay there with your ivory tower up your ass an NO solutions. You are not needed.

If Trump makes it to the primary’s, I’ll eat my hat.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yeesh people, we still have 14 months plus to go. This time next year the world is going to be an entirely different place.

Sit back and watch, it will tell you what you need to know.

“Perhaps a 12 step program on envy is in order...”

Careful there, Dr Bob’s 12 Step Program started in Akron, Ohio, and we don’t need her’s or anyone elses envy here! There’s already more than enough to go around! :)

[austinaero]

I don’t give a damn about you or your hat.

Lindsey who?
