Trumps train ain't going anywhere we need to be.

We’re days away from Congress failing to block a deal that will exponentially increase the chances of a nuclear flash over Tel Aviv or New York, and all conservatives could talk about for the past 72 hours was Donald Trump’s insult of Megyn Kelly, an insult that caused firebrand pundit Erick Erickson to lapse into Dean of Students mode to ensure that his Red State Gathering was a Safe Space — safe from the current GOP frontrunner.
And we wonder why people are deeply alienated from politics? First, let’s just tell the truth: Approximately 98 percent of the professional politicians, pundits, and consultants embroiled in the conversation over Trump’s comments about Kelly, in which he may or may not have said that her tough questions at Thursday’s GOP debate were due to menstruation, are most assuredly not “offended” or “outraged” by his words. Quite the opposite: In the political world, there is something like an electric shock of glee that passes through the community when someone says something “outrageous.” Controversy is energizing. Consultants, candidates, and pundits immediately begin working the angles — how can they exploit the latest gaffe, the latest misstatement, the latest offense against decency to advance their candidate or their cause? Outrage is a tool, the means to accomplish the ends of personal and political advancement.
Does anyone seriously think that Erick Erickson — a blunt-speaking radio host and pundit last seen urging his supporters to mail fake testicles to John Boehner ... is offended by Trump’s statements? (snip)
While the GOP bickers over a journalist’s reproductive system, the mullahs build their bomb. The weekend is over, it’s time to get back to business, and “business” includes stopping the worst international agreement since Munich.

Ask yourself why only Trump is talking against China and Mexico.
Trump’s been doing that for a long time too. So being pro America is now liberal?
Which is exactly what Ventura did.
No coward am I. You’ve been taken in by some breedbates honeyfuggle and are either utterly unaware of his duplicity... or eagerly complicit in it...
From thehill.com
“Trump’s support increased by 7 points to 32 percent, according to this week’s Morning Consult tracking poll.
The real estate mogul’s closest rival — Jeb Bush — lost a point, dipping to 11 percent of the vote among self-identified Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.
Support for all other candidates was in the single-digits”
Continue to read it and weep sucker. :-)
Fine. Enjoy your Chosen One's popularity while it lasts.
The rest of us will keep pushing a real candidate like Cruz.

Its like Ground Hog Day. Trump in the lead. :-)
This is a marathon, not a sprint.
Cruz can catch Donald. Especially if Donald keeps acting like an unmitigated ass.
Cruz is smart to have tied his wagon to The Donald’s star. Its parlayed him into second place. He is my second choice for President. He’s also smart enough to know if he can’t get the traction VP isn’t such a bad place to end up.
Donald won’t stay in 1st. He’ll split off an move 3rd Party when his poll numbers drop after the State conventions bump him off.

Well if that delusion keeps you sane cling to it. LOL!
Keep supporting a liberal, if it makes you all tingly...
Just don’t be so deluded as to think the rest of us are behind you.
Time to get on board the Trump train and ride it to the Whitehouse. :-)
