My guess is that by the end of the day, The Donald will be a footnote in the 2016 presidential race, done in by his own hubris or some long-buried scandal that you know the national media is working furiously to uncover (or invent).

Here we have another wishful thinker. The writer has NO idea or understanding of how much our country has already been damaged, or what it will take to make America great again.

Instead we get more idle speculation on "will he or won't he" run?

Perhaps the question ought be: “Should we take the Delaware Gazette seriously?”

I’m starting to think people will be asking “will he last?” on that sunny day of Trumps inauguration. I do think at some point,he will slightly receed. It won’t surprise me if Donald takes a month or two completely off, staying only barely in the news. This will shock his friends and delight his enemies, as they will think he’s gotten bored and gotten out of the race. Donald can make his own rules, and is now popular enough to survive a well deserved hiatus. I don’t see how he does it now, being on seven days a week.

I have a c-note to put down on the Donald to WIN, what’s the book at?

Rove and the beltway boys are freaked out by the Donald. He just won’t play the silly political games. He doesn’t need there money and if you hit him he hits you back 5X or 10X harder. So what are the criminals in D.C. to do?

Assume a third party candidate, who at least SEEMED to be more conservative than the republican, showed 30% in the polls and the republican showed 30%, leaving Hillary with the other 40%. It would be smart for the conservative republican voters to vote for the third party guy. Instead, they’ll stick with their gopE man and give the election to Hillary. So, who’s the stupid voter?

The WH was already turned into a hotel by Clinton. There’s no telling how much money he got from renting out the Lincoln Bedroom. Not to mention AF One. And the republicans did squat.

Obviously Trump’s campaign is not only doomed to failure but it is doomed to an early failure.

Otherwise, the media and its army of know-it-alls will turn out to be wrong.

And we all know that could never happen.

“What is it with this Jeb Bush or Rubio nonsense? Do you know anyone who would walk through a hailstorm to vote for either one of them? I would do so to vote for Ted Cruz and I’m sure there are Walker and Trump followers here who’d do the same for their candidate. But John Ellis Bush? Marco Rubio?”

quote of the day
the nexus of this nonsense is Florida
I can state as a fact that this has come down from the State chairman to each county chairman

Cruz would be perfect for AG...and eventually the USSC. President...a couple things missing....experience and wisdom.

The media needs to give up on their Rubio wet dream. He is sinking into Pawlenty territory.

I agree. It’s in my words/expressions to avoid list.

Same here - I'd crawl through broken glass to vote for Cruz.

That said, Trump certainly deserves to be taken seriously.

The next year will be interesting -I figure that we will have a better developed picture around March and can't make any assumptions at least until then.

In the meantime: GO CRUZ!!!! He gets my donations until he stops asking for them.

Donald Trump didn’t enslave you…

Politicians from both sides of the aisle should be locked up in prison for financial crimes against the citizens of the republic.

THEY DID build this…enslaving us, our children and grandchildren…

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. - The Law; Bastiat

But it is doubted with me whether a permanent funded debt is beneficial or not to any country.

The same effect must be produced that has taken place in other nations; it must either bring on a national bankruptcy or annihilate her existence as an independent empire. Hence I contend, sir, that a funding system, in this country, will be highly dangerous to the welfare of the republic; it may, for a moment, raise our credit and increase the circulation, by multiplying a new species of currency; but it must, in times afterward, settle upon our posterity a burthen which they can neither bear nor relieve themselves from. It will establish a precedent in America that may, and in all probability will, be pursued by the sovereign authority until it brings upon us that ruin which it has never failed to bring, or is inevitably bringing, upon all the nations of the earth who have had the temerity to make the experiment.

Cruz has a well established infrastructure for the campaign across the USA. He’s been building it for years now. Trump has the momentum and carries a strong message. What Trump does not have is the people in place that Cruz has already established. Joining with Cruz makes simple business sense from a merger perspective.

Personally, I see the entire phenomena surrounding Trump's candidacy to be just another indication of how far we've fallen in our 'celebrity' worshipping culture. I'm hoping that eventually he will decide to take his ball and go home, but I'm not really expecting it. I don't think Trump's ego will let him, especially as so many people are seriously considering him.

The best thing about having him out there is that the press is incapable of ignoring him because he really knows exactly how to make "good copy". I'm hoping that a candidate like Cruz or Walker is able to eventually eclipse him, but considering the way our media is today, and the depravity to which they've fallen, I really am not as hopeful as I was earlier in the year.
