I simply d not understand this sort of hysteria. Trump hasn’t won or lost anything yet. The first elections are still four months away, and those are small. Super Tuesday isn’t until March, a full five months away.

I hope that Trump does well and puts the far of god (or the voters) into the GOPe. We need someone who is outspoken to break the communist uni-party.

I think we’re begging to see the first cases of TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). Keep it up Donald, dam the torpedoes full speed ahead.

um... who wouldn’t drop out if their numbers went to zero like Perry or Walker?

Well, Pataki and Gilmore for starters.

It’s too late for Trump to leave the race and save face.

He will forever be a laughingstock if he drops out now. Just like Ross Perot.

If he loses fair and square, that’s one thing. But his ego will prevent him from quitting at this point.

This is where they lie to themselves about what was actually said because they used snippets from before and snippets from now to create an impression that he said something different when it was the same thing before and same thing now if you read it in full

I really don’t think they understand the nature of a real estate developer. They make very detailed plans, they are used to long term projects that take years to even break ground, they are used to people being upset with their plans, they are used to projects that have numerous ups and downs.

Hillary has signaled loudly and clearly that she will drop out of the presidential race if her poll numbers don’t continue to soar above the mediocre crowd of candidates. She (sort of) backtracked later, but her message was unmistakably that she will take her ball and go home if too many voters polled like other kids more than her.

This will, in fact, happen. Hillary doesn’t like to lose, and more importantly, doesn’t like to be ignored, and when her luster starts to fade, as it already has, she will return to the business of insulting patriots and women in the privacy of her own mansions and boardrooms.

Our reaction to this should be two things: Glee that soon enough, the Hillarian media circus will end; and anger that she will have made all of us look like fools.

When she bails, the media who initially dismissed her, and then took her far too seriously, will look bad. Those of us who watched with a combination of horror, dismay and amusement will look bad. And most of all, her followers — whose blind devotion to this sham of a candidacy has been impossible to fathom — will look like fools.

But first, why will Hillary drop out? There’s several possible reasons: 1) As mentioned, she hates being anything but the center of attention, and when he gets a whiff of the media covering other candidates, she will pout, then exit; 2) she never really wanted to be president — and is no doubt privately amazed she has gotten this far....

What he DID say was that IF his poll numbers dropped down and hung between 1 and 4%, like SOME candidates’ numbers have been doing for months; he’s not masochistic; he’d face reality and pull out. If I were a lib journ-o- list reporter, I wouldn’t try holding my breath until THAT happens.

She won’t drop out, on the contrary, she will use her Army to TAKE the Presidency, just like a good autocrat should.

Why is Trump getting credit for something they have long established themselves, that they are fools? Just an exercise in confirming it?

You mean Trump is saying he wouldn’t be a Paul or Pataki, Kasich, Huckelberry, Santorum, Jindal or Graham - the under 5%ers - and stay in for the attention? ;-)

Anything or anyone who scares both the Left and the mainline Republican Party at the same time, such as Trump, Cruz or Palin, is worth a second look.

Yeah. I initially took Trump to be playing games. It wasn’t until I saw him acting seriously about his Presidential run that I started to really pay attention to him. I still like Cruz better, but would have no problem going with Trump. Imagine and election where I wouldn’t have to potentially hold my nose and vote. Refreshing.

All I know is what he SAID. I cannot psychoanalyze him. He said he’s not a masochist, so if his numbers dropped and hung between 1 and 4%, he’d drop out of the campaign and go back to his businesses. Sounds like a straight up, right from the shoulder statement of intention. But with the slow steady growth in his polling numbers week after week, it looks like he’s headed straight for the White House.
