I was disappointed in his debate performance but it didn’t seem to hurt his popularity. He let Carly get to him.

They don’t push Ben Carson because he is adamantly Christian.

They don’t push Cruz for the same reason—and the fact that he is a Constitutionalist.

They hate Trump because he is capable of campaigning without their input. He is independently wealthy.

Frankly, I like Scott Walker. Wish he had more traction. He has proven to be a leader in a state that gone Democrat in every Presidential election since 1988.

But it is what it is.

Our nation needs a spiritual awakening. We need to repent.

Speculation abounds after debate? The leftists have been speculating since he announced.

It’s obvious they got mixed up. They’re really talking about Jeb or Rubio.

Well, he bailed on the Heritage Foundation ... because he would actually have been expected to present coherent positions...

I had the same thought. He's not too strong on substance and specifics.

The coherent positions, the substance and specifics will come along in time. You're confusing him with a "politician". Politicians have all of that in abundance. What good have coherent positions, substance and specifics done for us since the eighties? He has something no politician has had in years. His own coherent, specific and substantial money. He can't be bought.

I think he’s surging even as we speak. The post debate polls are just about now coming out of the oven, so we’ll be reading and hearing about it in the next day or two. I look for him to be up in all the legit polls between 5 and 10 points.

That Thursday Gravis poll that said FioRino tied with Trump in the debate.....is a fraud. Gravis doesn’t even own a bank of telephones. They pull the numbers out of some bodily orifice. When all the new legit polls come out, that bunch of crap will be knocked into the trash where it belongs.

Hey sour grapes. How do you like his position on the Second Amendment? Enough substance and detail for ya?

I have no idea, but I think it just might happen. Instead of knuckling under on this BS muslim brouhaha, Trump doubled down and accused Obunga of conducting a war against Christians in THIS Country. Boooyaah!

I want to hear Trump himself speak on these issues and others, from his own mouth, speaking with conservative conviction and substance. I know Ted Cruz and others can do that, with great depth and knowledge.

Trump has released detailed position papers on the Second Amendment and immigration. He has also spoken about Islamic terrorism extensively. Of course, those who get their news from the MSM would not know that...

candidates who have 20 point plans and specific details at this point of the process will never follow through on them....remember repealing Obamacare? Or, situations will change in the next 18 mos that changes the variables. (9/11 changed everything and it was only 9 mos into W’s term). Have broad plans and big ideas, but hard to be specific at this point, unless pandering.

Like John Paul Jones—Trump has not yet begun to fight. You will see a re-born Trump with new plans. The plant/questioner will be followed by others at Trump Rallies with Conferderate Flags—etc... anything to make him look like a fringe nut racist, etc... Now it will get ugly. But Trump is no stranger to such tactics—he had played in hard scrapping battles of New York Real Estate. You don’t want to get in the mud with him! He knows how to fight! The fun is about to start. I would not be surprised if you see pictures of Trump’s kids hunting in Africa, or even people taking shots at Donald. His followes better hand together or the IRS will hang us all seperatly. I remember the days of the Tea Party!

The only ones suffering from Trump fatigue, are those who are enemies of Conservatism.

There’s good reason for them to be fatigued. The guy that was going to drop out a month ago is 10-15 points higher in the polls, and is kicking Leftist butt at will.

They’re warn out lying about him.
