McCain & Romney never attacked Mexicans. Actually they attacked no country, no ethnic group, Why did they both went down to defeat to a community organizer first term senator with zero accomplishments?
Actually I will tell you exactly why McCain, Romney, Dole, etc lost. They were NOT blowhards as you call Trump. They never attacked Mexico or China or Japan. They never attacked NAFTA. Actually they praised NAFTA, as demanded by the Chamber of Commerce and thier sugar daddy rich donors, except perhaps Romney who may not have needed a sugar daddy.
They all lost BECAUSE THEY FAILED TO ENERGIZE THE REAL MOJORITY OF VOTERS...The Middle class consisting of all races. If Trump can energize the down trodden middle class, he will succeed. If he backs down due to political correct types attacking him, he will go down the path of Dole, McCain & Romney.
Yep,I agree. Cruz and Trump are the only ones speaking out and saying what I want to hear.
Yes McCain, Romney, Dole, etc were all useless RINO’s unable to motivate the base but my main fear is winding up with another useless RINO like Jeb unless the base hurries up and rallies around one of the few conservatives running who presents a decent chance to win. Trump is not one of those, he has too many voters out there who literally can’t stand his personality and (lack of imo) character, he can’t possibly win with all those negatives. It would be a wasted protest vote at the expense of Cruz or Walker, insuring yet another RINO in the form of Jeb slips in. I have no problem with people sending a message via these polls showing the media that the issues Trump speaks about resonates with a large number of voters, but when it comes down to actually electing Trump I really don’t see that ever happening.
Will Hispanic leaders condemn La Raza?
Do not be shocked if Cruz joins the Trump bandwagon.
Trump/Cruz ticket will have a a lot going for it.
Money+Brains, no other combination is more powerful
No need for sugar daddy’s ordering agenda intiatives
Maturity of age 69 + Energy of a young mid-40’s
Executive experience running very large corporation + government experience of 2 years in senate & solicitor general of Texas
Geographical balance of worldwide corporate locations + legal issues in Texas
Actually I would be shocked - Cruz is way too smart to take Trump on as a running mate, though I think he will remain cordial towards him.
Think about JFK taking LBJ whom Jackie hated.
Reagan taking Bush-41 who called Reagan Voo-doo economics
Politics can make strange bedfellows.
Ha, still think you’re dreaming, but stranger things have happened. I mean who would have thought Bernie Sanders the commie would rise so high in the dem polls? People are getting sick of establishment politics that always ignores the average guy and Trump strikes a chord, so I guess anything is possible. We’ll see.
I am not at all sure Trump will stay in through all the primaries. And even more uncertain he gets nominated. The GOP hierarchy hates Trump more than any others candidates running.
However on the outside chance he wins, Cruz brings a lot to the ticket and would be wise to accept if offered. Can you imagine what 8 years as Veep does to his resume at age 52 after Trump is gone?
Seriously I could never see Cruz playing second fiddle to Trump, I thought you were refering to the other way around. Cruz is an extremely smart guy and has a great future in the GOP whether he does well in this primary or not, he would never risk that by being Trump’s VP. That I can guarantee.
I can guarantee 101%, Trump would not go for having a boss, after never having had one in 50 years of adulthood.
lol, you crack me up bro and I apreciate your passion cause with the illegal immigration nightmare I’m fully on board with you. I just disagree with you about how Trump’s influence is gonna be good in this debate.
We are in the same boat, paddling on each side of the boat.
Yeah you’re right. Sometimes it’s just overwhelming. I’m hoping that by the time the campaign gets heated up in early 2016, things like the Trump statement will be forgotten.
I can see myself voting for Trump in republican primary, but if he runs on 3rd party ticket, Absolutely, meta physically zero chance of voting for him in General. I may be crazy but I am not stupid. I might just as well vote for Hillary. All those Perot votes were total waste and actually harmful. And it did not teach anyone any damn lesson. But you can’t change stupid.
I want these leaders, most of whom are no doubt Democrats, to condemn Obama's lawless executive amnesty & refusal to secure the nation's borders.
Republicans “MUST” ??? Where do think they are living, some stinking pestilential third-world hellhole dictatorship like Cu...the USA in about ten years? /sarcasm;)
LOL.
There’s already plenty of PC liars and deniers in the GOP!
GO TRUMP!
GO CRUZ!
