Seriously ladies and gentlemen, I haven’t been this excited about a republican presidential candidate since 1980, when Ronald Reagan wiped the floor with Jimmy Carter’s saggy butt! Love him or hate him, you must admit that Donald Trump is exciting the CRAP out of the silent majority and he’s the hot topic regarding the 2016 presidential race. We DON’T NEED anymore wussy-assed, namby-pamby, politically correct candidates for president. We need a man who is a LEADER and knows how to make the correct critical decisions to benefit this nation.
I personally am SICK TO DEATH with “progressives” in BOTH the democrat AND republican sides of the aisle, they have brought this nation to the brink of ruin with their idiotic ideas and policies.
And don’t even get me started about the idiotic marxist community organizer who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, that idiot has almost destroyed this country. And I’m sure as hell not a fan of the many political dynasties either, idiot politicians begetting MORE idiot politicians…personally…I’d like to see more than HALF of our nation’s elected officials spayed or neutered to prevent them from making more carbon copies of themselves.
According to an article at westernjournalism.com they say:
"When the home team suffers an unexpected and startling defeat on its own field, fans and commentators will most likely take notice. And that’s just what’s happening today as the GOP front-runner for the 2016 presidential nomination, DONALD TRUMP, scores a big win in a state where a rival or two could certainly be considered favorite sons.
The website Florida Politics reports on what it calls the “shock poll” that finds Trump leading Jeb Bush by a significant margin in Florida, the state where George W.’s younger brother served as a very popular governor from 1999-2007.
According to the just-released St. Pete Polls survey of more than 1900 likely GOP primary voters in the Sunshine State:
For the first time this year, Donald Trump tops a state poll of GOP presidential candidates in Florida.
A St. Pete Polls survey released on Wednesday shows the New York businessman with 26 percent support, with Jeb Bush in second place with 20 percent."
What that means in plain English is: Donald Trump is kicking some serious RINO ass and is scaring the living shit out of not only the establishment RINO’s…but every single democrat as well. They know that if Trump makes it to the White House “FUN TIME” is OVER !
GO TRUMP !
Ah yes, let’s ask the Democrats who our candidate should be!
“Gravis Marketing, a nonpartisan research firm, conducted a random survey of 1,535 registered voters across the U.S. regarding the presidential election. The sample includes 732 Republicans and 803 Democrats. The poll has a margin of error of ± 2.5%. The total may not round to 100% because of rounding. The polls were conducted using IVR technology and weighted separately for each population in the question presented. The poll was conducted for One American News Network.”
How do you get by with using the first grand wizard of the KKK as you handle. My ancestors were abolitionist and some of the first Republican. I am deeply offended by your promotion of this bigot! It gives FreeRepublic a bad image
Are you here as a troll using your “I AM A CONSERVATIVE AND YOU ARE NOT” mantra to embarrass this site?
I think you are mistaking support for Trump with the general quality of poster on FR these days.
It would seem “saving face” is the highest priority.
Nathan, I usually admire your posts, that typically reflect a keen historical knowledge and seemingly well researched thoughts. I am admittedly puzzled by your comments about Trump.
I’ve studied the man’s (Trump’s) history enough to know that he’s head and shoulders above a.) 0bie and the Dims and b.) The GOPe.
Trump’s development business, (just like ALL of the privately owned business in this country) is dependent upon a strong, free-market economy....something the Dims NOR the GOPe, led by Midge and Boehner have yet to promote.
We’ve given the GOP chances in the last THREE elections to STOP 0bama’s socialism. They’ve done NOTHING except give him a rubber stamp. Trump loves this country. I see him having the guts and wherewithal to do what ever it takes to turn this ship around to the betterment of ALL Americans.
I may be eating my words, should he prove the naysayers right, and decide to get out of the race. I’ll be the first to accept my mistake, should he do that. But, he’s beholden to NO ONE...no groups, lobbyists, etc. He can’t be bought. Trump certainly doesn’t need this job to promote his (nonexistent) political career, or his personal career. He’s putting everything on the line, to stop the destructive path the Progressive/Marxists - in both parties - have put this nation on.
Here’s a thread on some fascinating Trump family history. A real American success story....

Just my 2¢
I do not believe the choice is between Donald Trump or the Republican establishment. I believe the choice is between Donald Trump and Cruz or Walker. At least we on this forum who are relatively more educated than the run of conservatives, certainly more educated than Republicans, and undoubtedly more educated than the general electorate, we who are acutely aware of the sins of the Republican establishment, ought to be able to differentiate between Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell or Scott Walker and John Boehner.
We cannot judge candidates by their rhetoric alone we must consult their biography, their history, their associations. We knew what Barack Obama was long before he was elected simply by reviewing these elements of his biography. We found these tools to be reliable indicators. Why should we abandon the tried-and-true for a hope?
There are plenty of good alternatives to Trump, good conservative men, he is not the only alternative to the establishment.
This poll was out days ago
What is with JUST in the title
There is no rational for supporting/promoting the first head of the KKK. My family after the civil war And my father,who was blackballed by the Klan because he did the legal work to keep its.Wizard in jail after murdering his own secretary were targets of the Klan
If you support such scum in any smidgen of aNY
way you do NOT belong on this site
No excuses
Jim certainly would not allow Margaret Sangor name to be used. Same difference
I do not believe the choice is between Donald Trump or the Republican establishment. I believe the choice is between Donald Trump and Cruz or Walker.
Time will tell.
I pray my Sen Cruz will rise in the polls. I’m in complete support for what Trump is saying, and doing, for this election’s landscape.
Since you have not read the about page to which you were referred, I will reproduce a portion of it here for you, it applies directly and intimately to you:
a man with unflinching fortitude to behold, accept, and deal with reality no matter how unpleasant the prospect. There was not an ounce of self-deception in the man. This character trait alone should make every poster on FreeRepublic long to share the avatar and name of Nathan Bedford Forrest especially those Posters who evade unpalatable reality by resort to name-calling, ad hominem attacks, zotting, and just plain old-fashioned hardheadedness.
Written more than a decade ago, the passage describes you exactly.
I see nothing wrong in gaining wisdom as one matures. I was also a democrat until age 29. But have become more conservative republican by each passing decade.
I was wrong, then. I thought that President Reagan said, “I didn’t leave the Democratic party, the Democratic Party left me.
There will be plenty of time for Donald to morph into a Conservative when he is the president, then.
Pathetic. You're angry about my pet peeve. Little person. I'm sure your word emphasis is REALLY important. Prat.
There is no comparison.
One had no experience except as an actor, before running for governor. The other has tons and tons of real life main street economy.
I did not compare Trump's accomplishment with Schwarzenegger's. I compared the mindset of Trump's voters with Schwarzenegger's.
“Remember Arnold Schwarzenegger?”
Comparing an Austrian movie star to an American world-renowned business magnate? Seriously?
Look at post #135.
“I trust him NOT with my gun rights.”
Aren’t he and his sons hunters? Seems I’ve read that. Not many hunters are anti-Second Amendment.
As I have asked numerous other Posters here, do you think that getting rid of Obamacare, which according to the POTUS and the SCOTUS is sewn into the fabric of our Society and is Constitutional, will really happen without a replacement Plan being put in it’s place?
Name just ONE Entitlement that the Politicians have rolled back or cancelled outright. Remember Newt suggesting that the Medicare Payout Model wasn’t working and should Die on the Vine? He was immediately accused of wanting Old People to Die in the Street even though he was not proposing any changes to Medicare itself, just the Administration of the Program.
What you and others who have Posted the same statement have ignored is that Trump also said that we need to replace Obamacare using Market Based solutions like allowing Healthcare Companies to compete over State Lines, THE EXACT SAME THING that the Republicans have been promising for Years. It never happened and we ended up with Obamacare as a result.
Trump said he wants Improved Healthcare with less Cost.
He knows that the Obamacare we are now stuck with is Financially unsustainable and he is obviously a Results Driven Person.
Tell me one other Republican Candidate that thinks they can just get rid of Obamacare and let People just hang out to dry with no Coverage? The SCOTUS killed any chance of just cancelling Obamacare without it being replaced.
Democrats are like Drug Dealers, sort of. A Drug Dealer will give you the first one free. Democrats give you a lifetime supply for Free since they don’t have to worry about the Cost.
Again, I find it amusing as a Cruz Supporter I have to defend something because People seem to have habit of omitting certain things in their quest to derail another Candidate in the Race.
I’m sure we are all guilty of that from time to time whether intentional or not, but this fixation on Trump is getting ridiculous. Trump will either sink or swim, just like any other Republican Candidate under consideration.
Notice how Trump is the ONLY Republican repeatedly calling Hillary a Criminal? Now, why is that, because he secretly wants her to Win? That is what many here are saying, Trump is Hillary’s Bitch. Those Posts just crack me up.
There was another Poster questioning Trumps stand on the Second Amendment while Trump, an admitted CCL Holder has said any attacks on Gun Rights is just another pathway to a slippery slope.
Nobody knows what any Candidate will actually do in Office. Did GW Bush do anything remotely Conservative while in Office outside of getting Income Tax Rates reduced? The reality is that Presidents have to deal with Congress to get things done, with the exception of Obama of course.
Would a President Trump have a Republican Congress to back him up, who knows? Pelosi could be the New Speaker and Schumer could be the new Majority Leader come 2017.
We are so far out from the Primaries that anything can and will happen. All this Trump Butt Hurt is amusing at best. The Republican Debates will Cull the Herd, no matter what anyone here thinks.
The one thing that strikes me with Trump is that he is getting support from all over the Political Spectrum. Even the most Apolitical Diehards I know are waking up including Family and Friends. Even Mrs. KC is talking Trump, and I have spent Years talking about Senator Cruz. It’s amazing.
I didn’t intend to go on and on, so pardon my Rambling Post.
And no, I am not a “Trumpster”, though I have repeatedly been accused of that here. I love how these Labels are being flung about between FReepers with disdain.
Helloooo? I like that he is making noise and causing trouble for the GOPe but I find it hard to believe any of the things he is saying now would ever become actual policy.
