But what does it matter??? By following Trump will he persuade me to keep from voting for Bush??? Ain't voting for Bush anyway...
Your theory makes no sense at all...While Trump is drawing conservatives to the ideas that Washington is screwed up and there is hope for the old America, Trump is drawing Democrats and Independents as well...
If Trump drops out, so what??? Either someone else will pick up his mantle or we are right back where we started from...And that is the two headed political party we are now stuck with...
“Okay, let’s stipulate that Trump is a swaggering buffoon and all his supporters fools”
I think a better case could be made that anyone who votes for a pression politician is a fool. We have be lied to over and over again by these professional ‘conservatives’ all the while the country is swirling down the toilet bowl.
Thank you for posting this. I can’t wait to watch this at my leisure. He would do well to erect a board filled with photos of Americans murdered by illegals. Imagine the effect.
>> [Trump] is a business-oriented problem solver <<
Yeah, but it seems to me that crony capitalism is his favored means of using “business” to solve problems. Maybe that’s OK if you think the end usually justifies the means, but mark me as one who would demur.
Yes, one can support Trump for speaking the truth and still support Cruz. It’s ridiculous to think otherwise, Trish.
Or maybe, like most Americans, he did not realize how huge the illegal alien problem had become until some time in the 2000's, and particularly when W made his huge pushes for illegal alien amnesty in 2006 and again in 2007.
The cumulative effect of years of non-enforcement of immigration law and of stupid trade deals began to really become apparent during the past ten to twenty years. US citizens have been gradually waking up to those realities
At least Trump is one high profile figure who will point out what's happened and say it needs to change.
Thank you, miss marmelstein.
As have every single DC politician from the so called GOP! They play for the same team. They are all beholden to the same masters while ‘we the people’ get trampled on.
Trump is saying what ‘we the people’ believe and other than Cruz, none of the DC class has stepped up to agree with him. Instead both parties (actually the uniparty) attack him! That should cause you more concern than the fact that Trump, the businessman, donated to candidates from both parties.
Maybe a successful business man didn’t become that way with a tin ear.
Lol, you can't be serious. You're almost a decade behind. People have been fighting this amnesty BS since W tried in 2006 and 2007 to ram it down then nation's throat.
Trump is the first presidential candidate to say loudly and clearly that what we already know needs to be changed through government policy, that it was government policy and neglect that caused the problem, and that government should fix it.
>> It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to falsely adopt the rhetoric <<
Agreed. Nothing like a “severe conservative” — which Trump obviously has become.
Fan is short for fanatic."
Yes.
What you said...And that's why Trump has become so popular politically...
And that is the only way to win this election.
Now this is just a personal observation, but Trump is a proud American who doesn't like what is happening to this country. He doesn't want to radically change what we HAD, but change what we HAVE.
He touched on Common Core, which, of course, is a grown up NCLB, hated by parents and educators alike.
He touched on treaties - Iran.
He endorsed Bibi.
And, for those who care, he employed thousands and his employees liked him and the way he treated them.
RINOcide bump for later...
Well, that is your right as an American, and so be it. Trump is the ONLY one speaking the truth. I don’t need a hammer to get my thinking right. There isn’t anyone on the conservative side running that isn’t right and speaking the truth, but Trump is saying it better with the facts. I like that, and I certainly would vote for anyone who upholds American freedom and is willing to put it all on the line to maintain it. God Bless America and Americans!! Go Donald Trump!
That is a tough call. It would be a repeat of 1992...and I fear with the same results - a Democrat victory.
When Perot announced in 1992, I began to support him, as GHWB has sold out Reagan. Perot came across as much more of a conservative than Bush.
But then Perot began to flake out. I remember that he quit the race after he claimed to have had saved the Democrat party from extinction (his work was finished...) But then he later changed his mind and re-entered the race. He now had a vendetta against Bush because Bush had tried to ruin the wedding day of Perot’s daughter...
I hope that trump doesn’t turn out to be the flake that Perot was. I hope Trump stays into the race till the end - win or lose. And if he doesn’t get the nomination, I hope that he supports the candidate who does.
With Trump in the race, he may not win, but I’m pretty sure he can prevent JEB from betting the nomination.
The Establsihment is pulling out all their resources over getting rid of Trump.
hey JonahE! We conservatives don’t go in for mass appeals like this. Those “hey! everybody who’s cool loves...” or “hey everybody who’s cool hates...” are the kind of games you play on liberals.
It’s amusing to hear the shills for the GOP establishment whine about how Donald Trump is destroying their party. But seriously, while Trump is waltzing merrily through the wreckage of the formerly grand old party, he didn’t create that wreckage. At most he’s bouncing some of the rubble. Make no mistake, the actual destruction was wrought by the unprincipled hacks who are now doing the loudest whining.
The Republican party stopped promoting conservatism a long time ago. It is now a party which promotes the worst of corporatism forgetting entirely the conservative understanding of the middle class as backbone of society. Trump may not wish to tell it as it is Mr. Lowery, but as one living in the belly of the beast, he is I know he is telling it like it is and Americans need to hear it.
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing would ever make me vote for Jeb Bush.
I will take the gamble and vote for The Donald. Not that I think the establishment will ever let it get to that.
