I wouldn’t count him out yet. I suspect he’s going to do very well in the debates.

he paid protection money to the Clinton Crime machine. That was not a political donation. He's a smart guy.

I agree with you. Just the price of doing business in the state where he is headquartered and where she is very influential.

I don’t know. He seems to talk but doesn’t have much action or results. Like today he said “we should be able to impeach Supreme Court justices.” Well Ted, you can......I know he is new to the Senate and all, but he doesn’t even know his own job or what he can do. He has a long way to go before he is prepared to take on the task of President. He is way to inexperienced and his knowledge level is still novice at best.

The American public is hungry for the message and attitude. Right now the package doesn’t matter. If we can get the message and attitude adopted by the right candidate, the libs will be left in the dustbin with H!

Why Is Donald Trump Polling So Well?

*******************

He’s only in double digits in the last two polls which came after his official plunge
into the primary. Prior to that time he was polling in single digits, 5 and below.
He’s only been included in some 10 polls since the middle of May.

Because he is not bought and paid for like all the rest of them.

Because he is not a weenie like all the rest of them.

Because people haven’t thought their choices through.

He sounds good, says what we want to hear, and has no qualification whatsoever to be President of the United States.

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

"Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?"

First in 1976, then in 1980 that was the constant mantra about Reagan.

Trump is no Reagan, don't get me wrong.. Just drawing the parallel.

Bingo.

He’s a self-described Democrat; his words are backed up by his actions. But no one wants to hear it.

Trump supports universal health care.

He believes “assault weapons” should be banned.

He believes the economy does better under Democrats than Republicans.

He has tried to get the government to use eminent domain to seize the properties of land owners for his own profit.

He believes upper income earners should pay more in taxes.

He said that he self-identifies as a Democrat.

He still donates money to pro-abortion politicians.

It’s not a crap-shoot with Trump. You get exactly what he has said he is & what he has shown himself to be.

What I can’t understand is why, despite it all, conservatives allow themselves to be suckered in by a few loudmouthed declarations. Aren’t we supposed to be the smarter ones?

Or so I used to think.

It's very rare to find an intelligent and morally righteous person with almost no faults.
John Paul II is the only person that I can think of that even came close.

I believe that Trump is a flawed, but good person!
We are always left to choose the best person we can find that can deliver what is needed despite their imperfections.
This is the nature of the world we live in.

You're making the assumption that the Clinton Foundation is something other than a brokerage house for leftists politicians.

If I had millions, I'd donate to the Clintons. You get what you pay for, and currently, the Clintons are the go-to if you need to buy a Democrat.

Do you need a one-off tax law? An EPA regulation that will cripple your competitor? A pet judge for an eminent domain land grab? A half million to the Clintons as a tax deduction, or a speaking fee, and presto, you own a county commission, or suddenly, a union gives an accommodation. If that guy out in Nevada had been smart, if he wanted to run cattle on BLM land, he would have simply donated to the Clinton Charity. (They don't actually give food to the poor, but they do assure you that you'll get that easement.)
