Donald Trump rides an angry wave of voters to dominate Nevada
Chicago Tribune ^ | February 24, 2016 | Philip Bump

Posted on 02/24/2016 5:17:40 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife

Donald Trump won New Hampshire, a moderate Northeastern state that prides itself on its sober analysis of the candidates at hand. Donald Trump won South Carolina, a conservative Southern state with a number of religious voters. Donald Trump has now won Nevada, a Western state with its own eclectic mix of Republican voting groups.

Trump won them all. According to preliminary entrance poll data reported by CNN, he won every age group and every education group and both genders -- and even every racial and ethnic group. About 1 in 10 Nevada Republicans were Hispanic. More than 4 in 10 of them backed Donald Trump (according to entrance polls with a notably large margin of error).

What's the theme here? What's the thing that's turned Donald Trump from the never-gonna-happen outsider of last June into the how-can-he-be-stopped candidate of February?

Nevada offers one hint: Anger.

Cruz was not one who said one thing in the election and then did not do what he said he would do when getting to DC.

CW has been here far longer than you have. And while I disagree with her on this issue, I’ve generally found myself in agreement with her more often than not.

BTW, for me one of the key reasons for supporting Trump is to fix the immigration problem. If we don’t do that, nothing else will matter. The unchecked flood of illegals and immigrants through our open borders will destroy the country as we know it. And it won’t take that long.

No; I never saw it. Apparently it was so bad the moderator had to remove it.

Good point. Now tell us how “touch back” for expelled illegal immigrants, which enables them to pursue naturalization and voting, will save America from the progressives they hate her?

“He’s our murder weapon. And we are going to use him to gut the GOPe Quislings like fish.”

You talking about the same politicians he was donating to when the Tea Party was trying to oust them? the same ones he said he’ll work with and make deals?

Did you not read Post 39? Or does it just not quite fit the Trump narrative?

Looks to me like Mr. Trump won’t need your vote.

He’s racking up plenty without you.

“Looks to me like Mr. Trump won’t need your vote.”

So I’ve heard. And he won’t get it.

JUST NOW I read Post 39 and I sent a kind, private email to that poster to get more info. What a jerk. Simmer down, OK?

Trump wants to let “deserving” immigrants back into the country in an expedited fashion to ensure that productive and law abiding people can enter and contribute to this country. The “baddies” will be permanently expelled. Is his plan perfect? No, but at least there would eventually be a defined immigration process and stricter controls than the arbitrary and chaotic “process” that exists now.

What is your plan for cleaning up the immigration mess? I would be sincerely interested to know.

The only thing worse than Donald Trump's LIES, Flipp-Flopping, "Brown-Shirt style" threats of physical violence against protestors ...

is the genuinely pathetic excuse-making by his followers, such as "USAFA92's".

This is HOW Rev. Jim Jones persuaded his followers to drink the poison cool-aide.

Donald Trump "starts" a lie about Ted Cruz leaving Nevada ... and his cult-fans LOVE it ...



Donald Trump deserves congratulations after winning NH, SC and NV. It's politics.

But sometimes, as in NFL-NBA sports, the "winners" turn out to be complete @ssholes.



If "anyone" at Free Republic publicly threatened to punch the lights out of a guy standing across the street (exercising his first amendment rights) ...

"We" would be arrested and have our @ss thrown in jail.



Not The Donald, or Hillary either (funny how they both LOVE Planned Parenthood).

Draw your own conclusions.

Maybe some animals are INDEED more equal than others ...

CW sees her paycheck going away soon when Teddy folds his tenth. LOL!

Who was the JUMPER OF CONCLUSIONS, Ms. Hissy?

How about posting an apology to CW, instead of slipping in the backdoor out of view?

How Trumpish of you.

Yes, that and tossing political correctness into the ash heap where it belongs. I’m sick to death of our modern liberal nazis deciding what can and what can’t be discussed, including the language, terminology and context.
