Thanks, I didn’t know that. I don’t have cable/satellite tv.
If nothing else comes of Trump’s run, his willingness to confront the PC crowd and call out the media on their bias will have and should have taught our candidated going forward that they need not be apologetic or timid in expressing, strongly, their heart felt beliefs.
Trump projects great confidence (arrogance to libs), strength and passion (called hate by liberals). These are all things admired by a large majority of Americans who want a president in who they can see these qualities.
My money is on 1,2 and 3 to a degree...but not #3 as the author describes it. It will be number 3 in light of number 1 - his mistakes related to his inner liberal reflexes will add up...already we have Planned Parenthood, Scottish and Canadian health care, Fannie and Freddie, Walker and goobermint unions, raising taxes, big gov pabulum on “womens health” and so on.
Mistakes seem to linger long after some of the excitement tires....
See #21.
On the money. Someone should have said this sooner....oh, wait.....
We don't really know what we can expect from Donald Trump yet, his past has been all over the map between conservative and lib.
Despite that, it's hard not to cheer him for his taking on the GOPe and kicking them in the groin, bringing up multiple issues that needed to be brought up, showing the GOP how they should have acted for the last decade, how to handle the drive by media, plus the bonus of destroying the candidacy of the (hopefully) last Bush.
I love all of those things, and if all he does is get the Jebster out of the race, we should all be thrilled.
Speaking of collapsing campaigns:

Jeb is going no where. That was true before Trump, and thanks to Trump, it’s even more true today.
And yes, this is a good piece....as I said in another post, my money is on a combo of 1,2 and 3 - but #3 only in light of #1 - not what the article says about 3.
I pray daily for divine protection for Donald Trump and his family.
The GOPe is nasty bunch of oligarchs and they will not easily give up the lobbyist/politican $$$$ money train.
Nothing ever gets done because they are all bought and paid for! Trump alone is the only one who will owe nothing to any of the lobbyists who control our Congress and their votes. I’m tired of being sold out by these traitors.
In fairness, Trump did course-correct himself and say that PP needs to be defunded/gone. Abortion is my #1 issue. If a candidate is on the wrong side of protecting the unborn, there's no way I can vote for them. So I was glad to hear Trump say PP needed to be gone.
Like so many of you, I don't have cable/satellite TV so I don't have access to alot of the things he says unless it's published here (FR) or elswhere on the internet and even then there's just so much out there it's hard to keep up.
If Trump is head-to-head with Biden, there could be false charges brought up. Remember Beau Biden, former Atty General of Delaware? He made up false charges against Larry Sinclair, and had him extradited to Delaware from a news presser that revealed Barry's gay, drug abusing past. Soon after, Slow-Joe was named Barry's running mate.
Trump could be "Beau'd".
Instead of being a problem, it COULD be a predictor of how a Trump Administration would be run. A 90% reduction in federal bureaucracy would go a long way to reducing government spending.
How do you reduce federal bureaucracy? 1) Make sure they all paid their taxes. 2) Make sure they are all legally entitled to work in this country. 3) Hire an external verification service to do 1) and 2)
“I love all of those things, and if all he does is get the Jebster out of the race, we should all be thrilled.”
The name “Jebster” is far too nice of a name to call him given the path he wishes to lead the nation down.
First of all, it sure isn't hillary or Jeb.
Another way to think about that question is "If you were stranded on an island with one person and that person was responsible for saving your life, who would that be?". Until now, the no brainer answer was Putin.
Now it's Putin or Trump. Putin to save your life and get you off the island. Trump to make that island a pretty cool place to be marooned with all the amenities. Come to think of it, maybe Putin and Trump together would be the best way to sort out any situation you're in.
I remember the talks about whose Dad can beat whose Dad?
True, but in fairness to reality - it was still a pretty shocking liberal reflex. Some consultant (yes, he has some) whispered in his ear 'uh, Mr. Trump, YOUR followers are not going to go for that.'
Once he's got, say, the nomination...or the Oval...do you think he's going to be talked out of his initial gut reaction? NOT LIKELY. His initial gut reaction is almost always left.
Just expressing my thoughts. I don’t know of this Wright guy and I have never gone to the Scott Trade site.
Dude, you took that wrong. And I think you know of that Wright guy....at least now.
I still think he's the favorite to win, it is his to lose (TM). With a small adjustment or two, avoiding that combo of problems wouldn't be that hard.
I wish ill to very few (can't quite get over the hump of those very few). The thrill of watching the GOPe and their numero uno candito (TM) going down is hard to describe in a quantitative way......
