Trump and many in the GOP race is to splinter enough segments away from Cruz as to deny him the momentum he needs to get the nomination and hand over the nomination to Jeb and sure failure.
Oh please. Most people outside of FR and DC or his interviews with dimwits nobody watches or listens to, including FAUX, never heard of Ted Cruz...And THAT is his fault.

I think legal immigrants ask to be accepted into our country. There was a time if someone had a communicable disease, ie, tuberculosis, they were not allowed to enter, if they had a police record they were not allowed to enter. With the politics of the ‘90 until today, the rules have been relaxed. Now we are being forced to accept illegal immigrants. Thanks to the president, he’s accepting illegal children. Mind boggling.

If they can somehow silence Trump, we’ll get another from the Bush dynasty.

Very clever Geron...

there is not even the slightest bit of pretense of impartiality from vox.com.

they are 100% a mouthpiece of the democRAT party. every single thing on that site is written to support their side and rundown the opposing side.

you might as well read the daily talking points put out by the DNC, as read the bilge they post on vox.com.

IIRC, even their mission statement admits that they are a leftist site using propaganda to sway the weak-minded millennial generation.

could? maybe.

will they? nope.

the squishy center of the party would fight any attempt to rollback anything done by obammey. the Snow, McCain, Collins, Murkowski, Graham, and McConnell faction of the senate is perfectly happy with what obammey has done in the past 6.5 years.

"will suggest to Latino voters and others that the whole party is intolerant"

Wrong.

Only about 80% of us.

"Trump is not a conservative, he and the GOPE are working together like good cop-bad cop"

You have no evidence to substantiate that ridiculous assertion.

Just some weird paranoia about an also-ran. Conjecture.

Though it's probable that you concocted a CERTAIN scenario to validate your delusion.

He's tapping into the anger Americans see as double standards. Illegal immigrants are let onto our streets for crimes Americans would and are sitting in jail for. Most lose their right to ever vote.

And someone breaking into line has always infuriated me.

And there are other than the illegal immigration anger he has tapped into. The media loves to throw this one out there to whip up a frenzy.

Trump is not a conservative. That much is a well-known fact.

They are a team and working together

Trump is as liberal as Jeb or more since he is a big supporter of the left

I think the AUTHOR of this article is a troll. And like you, just chock full of conspiracy theories. Baloney. The good news is few are listening to either of you among the base.

Good post. It follows Occham’s Razor. It means that this time around, at least it will be a fun primary cycle.

eventually the MSM is going to have to decide: are illegal immigrants who rape, murder and commit other violent crimes a subset of “Latino” or a subset of “criminal”.


No, the MSM will not “have” to decide. They can’t decide. They’re stuck on stupid.

if it wasn’t the plan it was at least really bad luck for the non-GOPe candidates.


Who would that be? Cruz? Walker (presumptive candidate)? So far, Trump has been draining points from Jeb Bush and other GOPe candidates. Your post doesn’t really make sense.

Yes, the legal Hispanic immigrants are all for a secure border for those very reasons. You may have just pointed out the genius of Trump’s strategy.

Yup. From Vox. A classic concern troll. What these guys don’t realize is that in the first few primaries, name recognition is the big game, and they just boosted Trump’s name recognition. He’s the one getting all the press.

And then when super Tuesday comes along, it’s all about money and advertising buys. Trump has that trumped. This guy might well have a Romney-level lead coming out of Super Tuesday.

I've suspected as much from the beginning. I do enjoy his rhetoric and verve, but remain suspicious of his true motivation. Hope he proves me wrong.

Yep, if VOX and Howard (Yeehaww) Dean both come out the same day attacking Trump, BJ Clinton has clearly released the Flying Monkeys.
