Well give love a chance. Trump is probably one of the only two people who can beat Shrillary in a general election. Trump and Cruz are it. Anybody else you may as well start practicing saying President Clinton.

Very good article. It skewered Trump the pretender.

"Trump brings out two of the Right’s worst tendencies: the inability to distinguish between entertainers and political leaders..."

"The value of speaking one’s mind depends heavily on the mind in question, and Trump’s is second-rate."

I mentioned to my husband that some Freepers were behind Trump. He looked at me and said, "Free Republic? Donald Trump? Are you kidding?"

I said no, I was serious, and he just shook his head.

As much as you might like that to be true it is absolute fantasy. Trump is currently polly 9th with no chance of getting the Republican nomination. he's not even a real candidate. Just for kicks, what is your source for that gem?

It makes absolutely zero sense. Especially when you consider my tagline. What self-respecting conservative would support a man with a VERY liberal past WHO SAID HE SUPPORTS BANNING GUNS?

I just don't get it.

I have never watched a single episode of his entertainment shows. I would guess some of his ardent supporters here have.

You're probably right. I haven't watched, either...I have no desire to do so.

I’ve noticed that you can lay out the facts about Trump, and his supporters refuse to respond. So they KNOW he’s a liberal, but they’re willing to support him anyway.

Interesting. That is EXACTLY what all liberals I know do. Exactly.
