He seems like he's the GOP version of the Democrats’ “O” candidate.

That is: Bluster, extremism (for the SAKE of extremism-and shock value); pandering to frightened and uninformed people ...etc.

He is as brash and irresponsible a representation of Republican extremists as “O” was/is a brash and irresponsible voice for Democratic extremists. I mean-he's a minority OF a minority and it's red meat for the MSM

Once in a while Trump actually says something that is “dead on” and I am OK with that... because (and let's face it) he articulates things that other candidates are too cautious or timid to say.

News flash - ANY Republican would be red meat for the MSM once they get the nomination.

Once in a while Trump actually says something that is “dead on” and I am OK with that... because (and let's face it) he articulates things that other candidates are too cautious or timid to say.

And that is exactly why Trump has a very good shot at winning - he is directly addressing where the fedgov and our political leadership has failed and sold out citizens, and promising to put citizens first. That both galvanizes his support and petrifies the ossified political leaders.

Do I think he could do a better job at that? Of course. But he is the only one who is consistently doing this. A prime example is how he forced Cruz to do a 170 on H-1Bs (I don't think Cruz has done a complete about-face, but it sure sucked the wind out of his sails on that issue).

And with me being a 55 year-old IT worker, that is my main bread-and-butter issue - I have other Constitutional and social concerns, but that is the one that has the most potential impact on my wallet.

90% of the country would say you are describing Pastor Ted. That’s not a path to electoral victory for Cruz. Sorry.
