“I used to rule the world. Seas would rise when I gave the word. Now in the morning I sleep alone, sweep the streets I used to own.” –Viva la Vida by Coldplay
The Republican primary is a race against the GOP elite who have enjoyed Viva la Vida for far too long. This is not the time to ask the candidates to swear allegiance to Karl Rove and Reince Priebus.
Conservatives forget who the real enemy of a 2016 Republican victory is: the GOP elite. Their goal: to preserve their Viva la Vida. They are betting you will help with that. But if you have a lick of sense in you, you won’t. Here’s why:
1) They carry water for the Democrats.
2) They talk the PC narrative.
3) They let Democrat threats scare and even stop them.
4) They compromise before they even negotiate.
5) They negotiate away their chips, and they do not use their leverage.
6) They give up before they start.
7) They avoid some issues entirely, already ceding defeat.
If you take a close look at the list above, Trump doesn’t do one of those things. There are others in the GOP race for POTUS who might make a better president than Trump, but conservatives who cuss Trump at this moment have lost their vision. It’s like they forgot the past 20 years of compromise, failure, spinelessness, elitist politics, broken promises, political correctness and lost elections.

Article is worth reading. See this section:
************************
But conservatives need Trump in this race a lot more than he needs us to approve of his candidacy. Here is why:
1) Before Trump was in the race, illegal immigration was off the table for the GOP candidates. Now it is on the front burner.
2) Before Trump was in the race, Karl Rove was still writing the playbook. Trump has effectively taken Rove’s pencil and slapped him with his playbook. Did we not want this to happen?
3) Before Trump, the mainstream media were still winning, even in their current state of recession.
4) Before Trump, we sat on pins and needles worried who the left would next accuse of being racist, and knowing the femme-bot GOP elite would wilt under the heat.
Just think what a wonderful world this is going to be with President Trump and V.P. Cruz...
Food for thought
Of course there is a fair sized contingent on this forum who push the feminist attacks on Trump.
I would rather see President Cruz and his atack dog, Trump.
What the Trumpettes miss here is the fact that the Hairpiece will embarrass and cause harm to conservatives.
Yes, he is scorching RINO’s. At this time.
But it is just a matter of time before he turns his big fat mouth towards Cruz and conservatives and lets loose.
The GOP promised that if elected them that they would roll back the Obama garbage and investigate the various scandals. We elected them and then they just went along with everything Obama wanted and nobody’s been indicted.
Time for a new presence and Trump may be that guy.
I would make Trump ambassador to the UN.
No. We just don't want to vote for someone who donates to Democrats & the Clinton Foundation, supports government healthcare, is pro-amnesty, would keep funding Planned Parenthood, loves eminent domain, etc.
It's really not so hard to figure out.
Intelligent analysis Trumpettes wow insightful.
Article made great points Trump is doing a fantastic service for this country. Many patriots appreciate that.
But thanks for weighing in...
@realDonaldTrump 14h14 hours ago Manhattan, NY
.@SenTedCruz had a very good debate, far better than Rand Paul.
I wouldn't be surprised if Trump turned the UN building into one of his new Hotels./s
Now THAT I would love to see.
WOW!
I would clone him. VP and UN ambassador. Put the VP in charge of doing away with EPA and HUD and others. Actually a president can do that by fiat now. He has to be a Trump to do it if not a Democrat. This next president and probably all subsequent ones will be Dictators. We need one or a team who can step outside of the now destroyed Constitutin box to eliminate the Agencies then to cause that Article 5 COnvention in order to return to Constitutionality. I actually don’t see any of it happening. The Democrat will be the next Dictator. No conservative can win the nomination unless he carries probably 75% of the primary delegates to the Convention. Bush or his replacement will get all the superdelegates- remember those superdelegates? The Republican Party has not used them to overturn the primaries yet but the Democrats showed the way and Republicans will do it if that is what it takes to get their guy the nomination. The Nominee will then go on to throw himself to the mat and wait for the ten count which probably would not even be necessary given the millions of new Democrat Citizen voters that will be sworn in next year and the JD proscription on any voting ID or refusing of anyone to vote, singly or plurally, for any reason at all that will be heavily enforced.

Gina must have been reading some of my comments in FR. :).
I won’t vote for a dictator.
That is non negotiable.
