Read the article, Trump was definitely playing the third party game.

Yep he talks and builds things. A lot of these politicians talk, talk, talk and talk some more.

Nor do you, but you are speaking as though Cruz would abandon his pro-life position.

Nobody talks as much as the TV celebrity, self promoter, media huckster, real estate salesman, Trump.

Trump is being threatened to be excluded from the up coming debate, that is what this is about.

Doubt any tv network would even think about keeping Trump out of debates, he’ll boost the ratings at least 25%.

Good question.

But I’m not sure it would apply to a person running as a presidential candidate though.

Agree he talks but he gets things done. Most politicians talk and then pass laws
restricting the populace. After all they know what is best for the peons, don’t they.

That was a different day and time. Our Country, as-founded, was not hanging by a thread. We didn’t know the Clintons for who and what they really are as we now do. There wasn’t a muslim communist impostor living in the WH.

If neither Trump or Cruz get the nomination, it’s time for a Hail Mary. If that fails, the Country would have been gone anyhow. We cannot withstand another 4 or 8 years of bat shit crazy liberalism. It’s going to have to be Trump or Cruz. If not, it’s time to pi$$ on the fire and call in the hounds. The hunt is over!

Yes, exclusion would really reveal the political motive of the network too wouldn’t it, because it would take a ratings hit.

Hmmm. FOX seems really supportive of Bush, although I have not really been watching it since Meghan got all giddy on national Homersexual day.

I heard the clip.

Look, we can debate abortion views, but sadly we won't see action from any politician on it. Reagan didn't overturn RoeVWade and he was there for 8 years in a landslide. Abortion has been relegated to a personal view, sadly, and that's how it will be until hearts and minds are changed. Trump has a personal view and he's expressed it.

He is a real estate developer and self promoter, he makes his money in a field that his father left him $200 million dollars from, he makes money.

So do a lot of people make money in their field, Ted Turner, Bill Gates, George Soros, do you want to take him almost straight from Hillary’s party and put him in charge of the pro-life GOP, the party that he doesn’t seem to care for much?

Now you are merely trying to tell us a pro-abortion lie.

The president is the most important man on earth in regards to affecting abortion.

Agreed and I would throw in about 80% of the rest of them too. Trump has repeatedly said politicians are all talk and no action so why should he back one if he has to drop out?

If Ted is the nominee, then Trump should not run third party. If Ted is not the nominee, then by all means Trump should run to stick a fork in the GOPe!

"The president is the most important man on earth in regards to affecting abortion."

More important than the Pope?

The party as a composite group will either support him or not. It isn’t one person’s
choice but a collective choice of all choosing to exercise the right to select the nominee.

Trump has you all tight. I personally doubt he’ll be the nominee but he’s brought
enough to the mix that has the party talking and just maybe some good will come of it.

Of course more important than the Pope, you don’t think the president has more of an effect on abortion in America, than the Popes do?

You first tried to portray Trump as not being pro-abortion, and now you have switched to trying to convince us that the president, the head of the executive branch, and the best speaking/cause promoting platform, doesn’t matter.

I agree with you. A Cruz/Trump ticket would be unstoppable. Hillary and Jebbie or any other GOPe pick would be obliterated.
