This resume is just a tad too much imho.
What if Trump does not have Cruz? Who else would vp Im wondering. I don’t know.
Oh, he'll get there, but he's playing high stakes poker with the Bush tribe at the moment - not the Clintons.
He's forcing Jeb to play a card that he doesn't want to, at this point in the race. It's a play that Jeb can't win, and he knows it.
Patience.
That’s absurd. To win the general, Trump will have to make up with the GOPe. He cannot do it without them. His attacks on GWB have no positive effect and are all downside. Jeb is barely keeping up despite his massive spending. Once he starts losing going into FL or earlier, his funding will dry up. Rubio will stay in and would make a balanced ticket as VP. You can’t win as a Republican without Florida. Trump’s just not that smart.
“You can’t win as a Republican without Florida. Trump’s just not that smart.”
But somehow Trump is beating both the rinos in FL polls. Imagine if he was smart!
I’m talking about the EC map which is the general election. Trump leads in polls for the GOP primary in FL.
You've got it exactly backwards, and here's why.
The real power in this country lies with the people, not with either of the major political parties. We hold the votes they both desperately need to get their players elected. There's only so much of the electoral process they actually control. Take the people out of the equation, and they've got nothing.
There's only so much leverage and control the GOP can bring to bear upon the process. If enough people decide that Trump is who they want for president in 2016, that's who they're going to have, or the elites risk true rebellion. I'm talking the sort of rebellion that upends nations and exterminates stultified, corrupt, and putrid political orders.
There's only so much meddling with the electoral process the people are going to put up with, in precarious times like these. If there's even the slightest whiff of the political elites thwarting the majority will of the people, or attempting to rob them of their choice, this country's going to bust wide open.
Our two major parties have been around a long time, but they're not omnipotent. In truth, they have almost no legitimacy under the Constitution. There's not a bloody thing in there about political parties, but there's quite a bit about The People, their rights, the responsibilities of the federal government and the rules governing its functions. That includes rules governing elections for federal offices. There's not a single mention of any political party holding power and control over elections.
Frankly, we're fast approaching a point when a pissed off and well informed populace will knock the card table over and demand that our government OBEY the Constitution - or else!
So no. Donald Trump doesn't need to "make up with the GOP-e." If he's who we choose for president, then the GOP-e needs to recognize that he represents the will of the people. If they've got a problem with it, they'll have to go through us.
THAT'S how this has to work, or there is no America.
The real power in this country lies with the people, not with either of the major political parties. The people have spoken and in the last two elections elected Obama, an anti-American. So the political parties keep power by giving the people what they want: goodies paid for by others.
That said, no GOP candidate can win without an in place GOTV team. The GOPe has that set up in all 50 states. Trump will have to reconcile with them and this needless and useless attack is just another proof that he’s not a serious candidate. He’s a Trojan Horse, a Clinton Trojan Horse.
Who is this candidate, "The GOP", you speak of? Having never even heard of him, I'm impressed that he's got GOTV teams in all 50 states. How's he polling, by the way?
Trump will have to reconcile with them
You keep saying that, but haven't provided any rationale whatsoever, to back that contention up. Explain WHY Trump needs to go cap in hand to the GOP-e to make up with them? Why? Are you still insisting that they have some sort of legal, constitutional control over our electoral process?
If a majority of Republican voters choose Trump, that's who the Republican nominee is going to be - no matter how much the quisling party apparatchiks despise him - and no, he doesn't need their blessing, permission, or support to become the next Republican president.
he’s not a serious candidate. He’s a Trojan Horse, a Clinton Trojan Horse.
Prove it, or stop using JimRob's forum to bash the leading Republican candidate. If you just plain don't like the guy, then say so, but don't post slanders for which you have zero evidence.

Do me a favor. Next time you re-post my words, please italicize them, or use quotation marks around them to show they're not yours.
That is a pretty blatant admission that trump will be pandering to the liberal crowd pretty soon.
Which us why the conservatives will not vote for him.
Ever.
It is what it is. We can’t get Conservatives nominated.
Pitiful
If 32 years isn’t long enough, you tell me how many decades it would take for you to realize we can’t get any Conservatives nominated for the Republican party.
5, 10, 20?
We’ve already gone 3 decades without a Conservative nominee. Now you tell me “I’ve given up” and that’s “pitiful”.
What is the advantage of lying about our chances?
We can’t do the same things and expect different results.
