How do you know? Cuz he says so? There’s a lot of killin in a billion dollars.
LOL! That deserves something, I'm not sure what but its something.
With the exception of Ted Cruz and whether you like him or not Rand Paul non of the other GOP candidates is going to look good in the debates as long as Trump is there. They won’t be able to slither around and dissect what the meaning of “is” is. Trump will say what he’s going to say and the others will look weak and clueless. I can hardly wait.
I’m sorry, Ron Paul, Jr. is out of his league when debating those two. He’s lucky these won’t be real debates. As for most of the rest? What a sad joke.
Well Rand Paul will stand up and say what he thinks. He does’t just bite around the edge of everything like the others. He and Ted Cruz are the only two who will be able to keep up with Trump. My prayer is that Cruz and Trump will be able to marginalize Jeb and Marco. Christie will commit suicide on his own.
Taint the GOP brand? It is and has been for years... shite.
Here is a conservative talking. Judge Trump on what he says not what a bunch of sell outs and liberals accuse him of being.

I won’t vote for him but I’ll eat popcorn to him smearing the queer GOP-E.
Reagan was regarded (famously coined by Clark Clifford years later) as an amiable dunce, a lightweight movie actor, "second banana" to a chimp. He briefly flirted with running for President in 1968. His speech at the 1964 convention identified him as dangerously radical, outside the mainstream...even more radical than Barry Goldwater, the target of the infamous 'Daisy' ad.
In 1976, there was no more establishment politician than Jerry Ford. Many believe the RINO Corps a recent phenomenon, the uniparty a modern plague; if the Uniparty were a basketball league, Jerry Ford would have been on the logo, rather than Jerry West. There was near unanimous support for establishment positions such as Keynesian politics and arms control, all wrapped up in the notion of a 'gifted elite' whose job was to govern the rubes. Carter was more of the same, safely establishment and elitist...best of all, "Ah weel not lah to yew."
Reagan, by contrast, was none of these things...not elitist, not Keynesian, not a supporter of arms control as practiced...therefore, intellectually unserious, a dangerous demagogue seeking to con the simpletons.
Reagan was publicly regarded as all these things, most of all by the establishment (including the Repub establishment.) I believe he was right on the issues, which goes beyond 'intellectual' as currently practiced. He was settled in his views. This is the only difference I see with Trump.
I'm guessing you have a few rings around your trunk...you must surely know this.
What Clark Clifford (a partisan Democrat) said about Ronald Reagan is relevant in what way to what partisan Republicans are saying about the Donald?
