I cant see it. He never had the chance to prove himself.
The MSM managed to make him even more popular though.

People are sick and tired and very angry about these dolts thumping their chest and yelling ME ME ME.

An unscientific web-poll on Newsmax (which has been in the tank for Trump since day one)? Yawn.

The tradition of Presidential debates may be coming to an end.

I don’t buy the results or I do and the results are just all over the place, which is probably the way a lot of people saw it.

Ben is a fine man, won it though? I don’t think so.

The establishment are going bonkers. Every online poll has Trump blowing away the field. The thing is that Trump is appealing to a lot of apolitical people who they can’t control. Go to any sports/pop culture website and a lot of 20 year old types like Trump a lot and get a kick out of Trump and understand his language which is mocked by politicos as shallow.

Dear Retarts,

Trump fights back against the bought and paid for establishment republicans and media. He doesn’t cowar.

Imagine if your opponent had a couple million dollars to dig through your email and collect a couple quotes out of context to destroy you.

Trump is fighting the corruption. He needs us and if your to f’n stupic to get it, then you are part of the problem.

Go Cruz!

To me the good thing that came out of this so called debate is that Ted Cruz got a little higher in the ratings and had, I think, the most hits on search engines. People might be waking up a little about him. I could live with Trump but would prefer Cruz.

What I’d really like is for a conservative organization to host a real debate, where the candidates get to have a little more time and also get to challenge other candidates ideas. Film it and post it on youtube and bypass the corrupt media.

As a Ted Cruz supporter, I have now become convinced that Trump is the only person in the race at this time who can defeat any of the potential democrat nominees.

It doesn’t matter who won the debate, even though I do think trump won, and it does not matter who wins any of the future debates.

Here’s my theory. The democrat candidate is most likely going to get 47% of the vote automatically just for having a D by their name.

The only way to overcome that is with a person who has an X-factor. Something that cannot be named but can be seen by all. Some essence or quality that draws people to them like them or not. Something that catches people’s eye and/ or their attention. Something that makes you stand out above all the others.

Trump has two X-factors. First he is a star and he has been for a long time. People know him, they have thought of him, they have their opinions on him and have had them for sometime. He is a known quantity, and he has entertained many over the years in one way or another.

Second. He is an unapologetic individual with balls who is sticking his middle finger right in the face of the GOP, which is hated by its base, and rightfully so.

Conversely, Hillary and Sanders and O’Malley do not have an X-factor. Hillary in particular is a dud, and they know it, and they are trying to hide it as best they can, but everyone knows she is just a wet paper bag of poop on your doorstep.

When I think of the past I think of Carter, dud, tossed after one go. Reagan, magnificent human being, even people that didn’t like him liked him. Bush, dud, but got elected because he was associated with Reagan, but tossed after one go because he was a dud. Clinton, rockstar, elected twice. Dole, dud, nope. Bush 2, yes, he has an X-factor, he is a likable guy and a manly guy depsite being thick headed and a bit liberal. Gore, dud, Kerry, dud.

Obama, he is a compelling speaker, he can put on a show with his voice. McCain...walking corpse, ahole. Romney, dud.

People want to elect someone with some sort of wow to them.

So considering this, I think it is possible that Trump can, simply by the force of his personality, gather enough forces around him to win against the democrats, and I don’t think any of the other candidates can. they have no X-factors, none of them has any particular magic, none of them are lightning in a bottle.

I hate to say that about my man, Cruz, but brother, you have to learn to inspire if you want to lead.

My concern at this time is this. If Trump does manage to win the nomination and then defeat the democrats, I would not be surprised at all if the powers that be in Washington flat out refuse to do anything with him at all.

I would not be surprised at all to see Demonrats and Republic*nts unite against him and give him veto proof majorities on everything.

Trump is not a member of the club, and they do not want him or his X-factor.
