Specifically, it’s when time ends.

I’m not playing poker, Molly.

I’m stating an opinion on American presidential politics.

If in lieu of showing up for your job interview you instead hold a fundraiser, guess what...

I know that you need me to be wrong, and I get that need, but I’m not going to budge, and time will tell if my assessment is accurate or not.

Let’s see what happens.

Good.

Now, not in a general sense of time- What is your specific time, for this occurrence?

However long it takes to achieve their desired goal.

It isn’t wise to give your opponents. a stick to beat you with.

If Trump fails to show, he is basically giving ammo to everyone one of his opponents and all of the media.

Why give your enemy ammo to fire at you? Wherein lies the advantage?

Will he do the same when in office with foreign nations, with news outlets, or with public appearances?

So Trump is strutting his anti-conservative position?

Trump will turn it in his favor,,,,in fact already has. People care more about WW and our VETS than about Fox news. You’ll see. Trump wins again.

Yeah, well- the outside is very afraid of Mr.Trump. The bit of kabuki, is nothing.

Will you vote for the Republican nominated to run?

It’s very possible that he will. Trump is a unique individual.

I can’t see any point in taking this particular risk.

My hope at this point is that he is engaging in a game of lowering expectations and then exceeding expectations by showing up and hitting it out of the park right in their faces in spite of whatever land mines they have planted for him.

Trump has already shown that anyone who tries to destroy him end up destroying themselves on Trump.

You go there, and you lead, right in front of their faces to such a degree that when it’s over, all they can say is oh boy we just got schlonged.

Cruzers are going nuts because, practically this was their only shot to have a chance at winning.

But if you Cruz people take that out for a moment, Rush Limbaugh has been BEGGING Republican candidates to do this for years. Now The Donald leads again. Cruz could have done this and looked like a champion. He still could and say, “Even though he has said some things about me, Donald Trump is right on this” and walk out as well. His #s would rise. Don’t know if it would be enough to get him in the lead, but now he’s a fool to stay in, as HE now “becomes Trump.”

Trump’s suspicions were correct —

Google and Fox TV Invite Anti-Trump, Hitler-Citing, Muslim Advocate to Join Next GOP TV-Debate
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3389124/posts

SABOTAGE by FoxNews!

APPROVED by the RNC?

And Cruz was supposed to look like the sweet saint who didn’t agree with Trump about banning muslims.

Like Will Robertson and Jerry Falwell Jr. said, we need real-world experience right now.

Also note that Sheriff Joe Arpio also endorses Trump.

Trump knows how to expose them all. Let’s see, Rich Lowry and his National Review cowards are in the same camp with Jane Fonda and her “Dump Trump” lying liberals and then lo and behold, the glorified news reader Kelly rolls out Michael Moore last night for a most revealing love fest! She lost me when she hosted the terrorist Billy Ayers and referred to him as Professor Ayers.

Sunlight, oh the scorching sunlight!!!!

Trump just exhibited exactly what I want in my President, Balls of Steel! Go Trump!
