Donald Trump is quickly becoming the GOP establishment's worst nightmare

Real-estate mogul Donald Trump is not the most cautious speaker in the Republican presidential primary field.

He's in a public feud with the nation's largest Spanish-language television network, one of its premier broadcast networks, and a major retailer over comments suggesting Mexican immigrants are "rapists" and drug runners.

And despite all that, Trump is rising in recent polls, placing second both in national surveys and in polls of key early-voting states.

This means one thing: In a little more than a month, the outspoken Trump will almost certainly be one of the candidates who polls high enough to earn a spot onstage at the first Republican primary debate. He is now in seventh place, according to the Real Clear Politics average of five recent national polls — the top 10 make it into the debate.

It's a potential disaster in the making for Republicans who desire a more prim and proper run-up to selecting their nominee.

That's because Donald has a spine and the rest of the GOP’s best efforts are only pretending to have one just before voting as if they had a giant “D” after their names.

THIS MEANS YOU McCONNELL!

Actually he is everyone’s worst nightmare. He is bringing issues to the front in straight forward word not focus group mush.
Let's address rapists. Who are they? Are are they being addressed? Doesn't anyone care about woman and the abuse they suffer.
You just have to bring them back to addressing his words, rapists and drug dealers and coyotes stealing and raping people. Let’s have an open discussion about the criminals not the PHD’s who are entering the country illegally. At the San Diego border crossing, they have a special
PHD lane

How do you stand up to the truth?

...... At least somebody is getting out in front of the controversial issues and framing the dialogue and discussions ........ instead of timidly tip toeing around afraid of ruffling some politically correct feathers. This is perhaps the only way that much of the electorate will hear the real issues affecting America. The media is actually paying attention to what he is saying. Wait till people actually start confirming the facts of what the Hairdo is saying.

..... NOW is the time to follow Isaiah 58: ...... "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgressions ....... "

I’d personally bait him if that is what it took to show the world that he is baitable.

“He’s in a public feud with the nation’s largest Spanish-language television network”

I can remember when American television networks broadcast in English.

Lol, yes. If Bush must run and lose then why not let him come in third.

"There's a very easy way to make Trump disappear: Start standing up for the things Trump is saying."

I don't quite get your drift.

Trump is standing up for the things WE'RE saying!

He's got the enormous nation-wide platform now that we as individuals don't enjoy.

So why should we want to make him disappear?

Please elucidate.

Yes I agree. I keep musing on Trumps comments to Cruz after agreeing with him. Trump knows he has to behave but he does not. If Cruz behaves around Trump and Trump were to win.....then Cruz could maybe work with him. However, Cruz may take the lead. Jindal is also showing some spunk!

[Graybeard58]

Trump will never win the republican nomination. The real danger will come if he files to run on a third party ticket..............................Hello president Hitlery.

[skippyjonjones]

You forgot Bush I’s re-election. Other than that they have just been awesome!

Anything that is the GOPe’s nightmare has got to be a good thing. If it were left to GOPe, the GOP would be reduced to nothing by now.

I am saying, based on the article that say that Republicans want Trump to disappear, that the easiest way to do that is to start standing up to the media bullies and espousing the position of the base.
