At this point, I don't care whether we get Trump or Cruz as long as we're not stuck with Rubio or another establishment candidate (I will vote for whichever of the two has more delegates by the time my vote comes in March). Cruz has little chance in NH, so it's up to Trump to stop the Gang of Eight Wunderkind in the first primary of this election.

Unfortunately, Trump isn't pulling his weight to get this done. He's acting like someone who doesn't take his own campaign seriously. Among other things, the "snowstorm" that has stopped him isn't exactly a blizzard, since every other candidate is in the Granite State campaigning away, but Trump couldn't be bothered to be there because he had to fly home and back (like Carson going back to FL to get fresh clothes in Iowa).

Stunts like this may cost him states that were his to lose, and the beneficiary won't be Cruz, but Rubio and the GOP establishment.

I am withholding deciding on Cruz or Trump until we get Rubio and Yeb out of the race, and I wish many here had done the same.

Airports were shut down due to the snow. So therefore roads were equally bad. Do you really think he’d want supporters risking themselves on the road? Especially after a member of Carson camp dies due to snow???

That was the most bizarre thing I’ve read today.

You want him to hold an event during a winter storm because why?

It’s not a stunt, airports were closing. He does have a rally this evening at 7 in Florence, SC.

What rally scares me is that Trump decided to sleep in NY... bad move

Considering that Ben Carson lost a campaign staffer last month from bad weather, I think Trump is right on this...

I saw reports that his daughter, Ivanka, is in labor and he was heading to be with her.

There was no stunt... not this time. Flights were canceled all over the state.

Does anyone remember when Trump’s plane had to make an emergency landing a few days ago?

Just maybe they needed to go over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure there was no attempt at sabotage - I read that the engines on his pane are the best, with no history of problems, and it is a newer plane than AF1.

It is possible that Trump is being cautious about maintenance, not to mention the weather in New England.

I’m thinking he rescheduled and didn’t cancel. Of course, I’m just reading what they’re writing, in spite of the headline.

If he had gone ahead with the events they would have criticized him for endangering people trying to get to the events, not to mention the police providing security.

Another thread says Trump told a lesbian that he will push the homosexual agenda if he’s elected. Before this I was willing to vote for him if Cruz doesn’t get the nomination, but not after that.

I’m surprised at Trump’s rare lack of imagination. Couldn’t he have gotten a Monster limo or something to show up in and lead the news?

People should switch to Cruz big time now to stop the Rubio surge. Is there a Rubio surge? Well, there is on Fox News. Disturbing.

I think The Donald is losing interest. It’s not as easy as some of his other big deals were.

He’s taken a few hits. We cannot count on him.

Come over to the true conservative.

Canceling for a snowstorm makes much more sense than going home “for clothes”. This is not an issue. Let’s stop allowing the MSM to make us dance at their whim every night.

I think Trump is trying not to win.

As for why has so many people fallen for him, as freepers have asked, it’s the same reason we fell for Bush I, Bush II, Dole, McCain, Romney....lousy choices.

I am becoming more disenchanted with Trump as he goes along. I have been a staunch supporter, but see that he has a very thin skin and I really didn’t like the “f” word being dropped last night. Reconsidering, but I don’t know to whom....
