If Trump continues to run against the Media he will win. He doesn't even need to concern himself wit the other Lilliputian RINO candidates. Stay on message and keep hammering the media. That is the winning formula.

The Leftist Media runs this country not the lemmings in the UniParty.

I hate the Media. Even worse than I hate Democrats.

The amusing thing is that Trump could actually win 30 of the state primaries, with the rest split among five candidates, and still lose the convention because of the VIP/special delegate rule (#13). They’d ensure he doesn’t win. By doing so....it would tick enough right-wing voters to just stay home and Hillary would win.

Yes, and the Republican Party would be to blame. Don't think for a moment that Trump would take this lying down. The Republican Party would be annihilated and they know it. That is what has them in a corner this time around.

“Still, you can also trust Trump will go too far.”

The writer is clueless. In this day and age, how far is “too far”? Trump could go “too far” 10 times a day and still not catch up with how many times we have been squelched and demonized by the left. Add to that the number of times the Republicans have harmed us, either by blatantly selling us out or simply standing by and not taking a stand.

Trump is saying what we’ve wanted to say for a decade. I say, “Keep it up!”

See post #16. That card has already been played with regard to Hispanics. Anyone who is open borders hates Hispanics, which isn't really a race.

I'm sure they are biding their time to play the same tired old card with regard to blacks. They probably have already located a number of such former employees who probably deserved to b fired and who Trump may not even know about to blindside him at the opportune moment.

Cruz/Trump—in that order seems like a dream team to me.

That can't happen for this reason: If Trump doesn't flame out, he's got the nomination because he's got the momentum. As it has been said, Trump can only be stopped by...Trump.

If he does flame out, his decline will force his withdrawal from the campaign. And just as well, Trump would be impossible to control as Veep.

He's never been second in command in his life.

And you think John Bonehead and Mitch McConnell are “for the people”?
Unlike Trump, they actually have power to change things.
Yet, they do nothing.

If you READ BETWEEN THE LINES you can see the FEAR this guy has of Trump and what Trump represents.

Robert Kennedy was so damn Socialist that even Stalin would have trouble matching him. Yet many of his voters drifted over to Wallace, who was anything but Socialist. They know the same will happen with Trump - there are MILLIONS of fed-up white voters (hence my tagline and profile page) that play both sides. They voted for Obama out of guilt and because they thought that Obama would end racial strife, and instead they find themselves lectured to more and more - by the people they voted for. They’re ready to flip.

What that means today is that Democrats can PUBLICLY say that Trump is their dream candidate, given his negatives - but privately, as this article shows, they knew they are looking at the possibility of a landslide election going against them if Trump can get the Republican nomination.

...and the only people left to stop Trump is the RNC, Rove, RINOs, and ultimately us - and they DO NOT control us, it is our choice as to whether to do the dirty work for the left, or not.

Reagan struck fear into the hearts of those 535 congress critters.

Cruz is nowhere----he's at 2% in some polls.

Cruz collapsed when he opportunistically tried to latch onto Trump's soaring aura....

Trump is at 28% in some polls.

Although Trump is my #1, I do see the appeal of having Trump be President to make big decisions and handle negotiations and lead. Trump is a leader. Cruz, on the other hand, could be VP and have a role in handling Congress. He understands that world.

And after 4 or 8 years of Trump, Cruz can move on up. So, I agree that if Trump says something unforgivable he will lose both the presidency and the vice presidency. But if he does really well, we may end up with both Trump and Cruz. I'd be OK with that.

Trump/Cruz would be the dream ticket!

Cruz could keep Congress under control and help Trump handle the politics of the Presidency.

Look at Obama....nice speeches, no real accomplishments.

I disagree with you that Obama has no real accomplishments. He's been wildly successful in damaging the country. Gay marriage, more dependency, weakened military, strengthened Islam, Common core, border still open, and sowed seeds of fear and distrust between Americans.

SOme people are looking for a dictator, they just don't realize it. Think of the power Obama usurped for the presidency. Anybody hell bent on ruling us already has the bureaucracy and power to do so. And half the population will cheer as their political opposition is punished. America is in a dangerous place now.

The way Trump is steamrolling I think he has a good chance.

There is only one thing that will stop him.

Trump himself saying or doing something that goes too far...

He is taking a wrecking ball to everything. There are a lot of Dems and Republicans that would vote for him because of it.

The writer uses Wallace but never once mentioned he was a Democrat.


Yep. A lot of those 1960’s Dims slid from supporting Kennedy to Wallace because they both were DEMOCRATS.

That would trigger Trump's threshhold of being mistreated by the RNC. He'd go 3rd party.

At a recent “In Defense of Christians” event, Cruz was booed off the stage.....he demonstrated his appalling ignorance of the plight of Christians in the middle east.

The obsessively-opportunistic Cruz used the audience's goodwill to promote his agenda, rather than comment on Christians' plight....he was booed off the stage.

==================================================

BACKSTORY: Is the Canadian-born Sen Ted Cruz really a Washington outsider or just another neocon establishment player willingly following the globalist agenda?

Back in 2014 a writer questioned the opportunistic Cruz’s self-proclaimed “outsider” status....in light of his background as a Harvard-trained lawyer who worked for George W. Bush and Congressman John Boehner.

The writer also mentioned Cruz’s wife Heidi’s banking and Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) affiliations: "Cruz’s wife Heidi is a Goldman Sachs Regional Manager, which is a little unnerving, given the massive bailouts and their involvement with the Federal Reserve in deflating our currency and killing our economy.

Heidi was also a member of a CFR task force that produced a report in 2005 called “Building a North American Community”.” Cruz himself once referred to the CFR as a “pernicious nest of snakes” working to undermine US sovereignty. This apparently includes his wife.

The CFR is a Rockefeller-funded group that is said to be occupied with the task of promoting the acceptance of global governance by Americans. Members there have written about why Americans must give up some of their sovereignty for a new order.

CFR’s “North American Union”, many believe, would indeed undermine the sovereignty of The United States.

Cruz is a recipient of over $106,000 from foreign pro-war lobbies, and once suggested that pro-abortion Democrat ex-Senator Joseph Lieberman would make a good Secretary of Defense. Lieberman himself has taken more than $2.2 MILLION from pro-war lobbies, the most of any US Senator.

This proclivity to support war, is said by many pundits to be “spawning the New World Order abroad.....perhaps a Police State at home”.
