Trump is only a little boy who gets outraged by other people's outrage. Nothing more and nothing less. The quicker we get off his train the better, and begin to look for some people with integrity. I'd start with Cruz, Carson, and Walker. These are all people who've done something, who stick with their marriage vows, who treat people with respect even when they disagree.

Trump is simply taking the liberal outrage playbook and mirroring it back. It's fun to watch, but he would destroy this country as a leader.

He makes great candidate at this point, whatever one thinks of him as a nominee.

5 to 10 million people saw and heard Cruz, Walker, etc. at Fox's "Trump Debate" that wouldn't have otherwise.

Any conservative who complains about that is an idiot.

I stopped at number 2. and number 3. This spew isn’t worth reading beyond those two.

Jimmy Carter had “character.”

Just saying.

The issues that matter to ME; are ignored by the MSM and the RINOs that are on stage.

No one would even be talking about Illegal Aliens if it were not for Trump.

The last batch of RINOs that got elected, didn’t even wait 2 weeks before stabbing their constituents in the back. There is 1 quality that Trump has that no other candidate has - Trump cannot be bought. That quality alone, sets him above the rest, in my book. Trump is a self-made man; none of the others can lay claim to that.

Not spending my weekend reading a Matt Walsh "think" piece, but I'll say this much. It's disheartening that the only people willing to discuss the disastrous immigration policy pursued by the federal government are charlatans like Donald Trump, who have no reputation to lose. While thoughtful critics of our open door policy are either silenced, a la Jason Richwine, marginalized, or too intimidated to marshal a public case against this disastrous, 5 decade+ national immolation.

Trump is the one candidate who can actually do what he sets out to do. He will hire the best cabinet and give them orders to fix the country and fire them if they don't. He will stand up to congress and use the bully pulpit to restore Pride in America.

Maybe Cruz would do the same, but right now Cruz is not getting any traction.

I want a president who is fed up and not going to take it anymore.

I don't want someone who is afraid to offend the sensibilities of people who are easily offended by everything.

I want a president who will offend the easily offended and not grovel when the media tries to make him squirm.

Essentially what we need is someone with backbone who want America to succeed.

Shouldn't this have been posted in "vanity".

Funny to read about character on a site run by Glenn Beck. Ha ha ha.

Yeah, Ben Carson, that's the ticket.

The problem with that argument, from what I’ve seen, is only his combativeness. The facts seem to bear him out.

He was singled out, and his combativeness fought back to a draw. Treat him like the other candidates, and he will fall into mid pack.

All this Outrage is manufactured. If they were smart, they would use The Donald as cannon fodder, make him a front man, let him take all the arrows and bullets(figuratively of course).

I cannot imagine The Donald as a loose cannon president. At some point he will self destruct.

I agree. We need to stick with our winning strategy of running polite, hand-wringing, milquetoast capitulators. /s

How do you know they stick with their marriage vows?

The establishment does not favor integrity. There were at least 2 up on that stage and neither had airtime.

Are you foolin’ me? It takes a person who has no real moral sense and doesn't have a problem screwing over the stupid human capital to sit in the big boy chair.

The establishment is hated because they act so pompous, but we know they are scurrilous bastards who would screw their own grandma over for money and power.

More blab, blab, blab. What is being done to Trump is what will be done to whomever survives.

“Hey Republicans, Maybe We Should Consider Electing Someone With Integrity”

Yes, Senator Cruz meets that criteria, along with any other that you can think of. Absolutely the most qualified for 2016, by far.

Cruz is head and shoulders above the rest.

I hope other people see it.

I could vote for any of the candidates who side with the citizens and the rule of law. That list is short.

I will not vote for the ones siding with the illegal aliens and their employers. That list is long, unfortunately.

So, you are a wussy looking for a coward that is a liberal. You want a limp-wristed liberal and are mad that Trump is leading and he isn’t a liberal. Got it, loud and clear.

>>there are other candidates in the race who possess these same characteristics much more convincingly.

>>You want someone hated by establishment? Ted Cruz.

>>You want someone who isn’t a politician? Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina (her downsides notwithstanding).

>>You want a fresh face who can beat Hillary Clinton? Well, there’s everyone I just listed, plus Marco Rubio and Scott Walker.

>>You want a guy who isn’t afraid to get angry and take it to the opposition? Nobody’s done that better than Rand Paul.

>>You want politically incorrect? Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum.

>>I’m not endorsing all of these people or telling you to vote for them, I’m just letting you know that the anti-establishment, politically incorrect, non-politician, angry, frustrated, bold and combative bases are all thoroughly covered this time around.

Perhaps we want ALL of those characteristics (or at least most of them) in one candidate. You see, we don’t vote for a Triumvirate, We vote for ONE PERSON to be president.
