It takes decades to evolve a backbone.

Pray America is waking

It’s hard to run against a Pop Icon.

Please. The only difference between Walker and Christie is 12 pant sizes and subtlety.

Dear ‘Me-Too’-Walker, do not give up your day job.

"Most RINOs are slow learners..."

And they learned nothing from the Tea Party success.

My first suggestion, to understand Trump’s appeal, would be daily high-dose testosterone injections.

Then,go right where illegals are working, and immerse themselves in their ‘culture’. See the signs not to toss used toilet paper on the floor. Observe them directly. Then go through the local town, visit the shops (that are still open), and talk to the locals.

Then, read Mexico’s immigration law.

Hello RINO’s! It’s almost noon! - While a lot of us don’t care for Trump’s perceived morality strengths; we do see that, unlike most of the “political elite”, he knows a great deal about economy & has a “been there - done that” resume on the financial end of things. Further, he’s not afraid to say out loud what a lot of ordinary people have been thinking. (I like Cruz a lot; but I will have to look long & hard at supporting Trump if he isn’t a flash in the pan - especially if Hitlery is the Dem. anointed.)

How can we steal away the source of his apparent appeal to GOP primary voters?

You can't!!!! His greatest appeal is that he's NOT YOU!

Democrats and RINO’s have lied to the American people about protecting our borders, taking care of our vets, and controlling spending. FOR DECADES.

It’s all LIES to get elected... so they can sell their ‘connections’ and feather their own nests.

That’s why we’re disgusted with them...

That’s why we’re backing Trump.
