Webb would attract Trump votes.
To clarify, Webb would attract many Trump voters.
Damn, I’m supporting you for President!
Lol. It’s interesting that you think that if you vote, you have to vote whey segment of the ballot. Whatever.
Ronald Reagan extolled Democrat principles until he converted.
If he thought those were Republican principles to value, he would have been a Republican. Unless, that is, you believe Reagan to be a liar or a dumb@ss.
Thanks, I plan to do just this very thing. And I have great expectations of a landslide victory.
What a whiner. Go away.
“Donald Trump would be a disastrous candidate. Pure and simple. You want Hillary and a Democrat Senate? Nominate Trump.”
Pretty much my feeling, backed by most polls.
The media has laid off from attacking Trump, so far.
They are keeping it calm and quiet, watching and waiting. If he gets the nomination, boom out come boatloads.
Everything Trump has said, who it was about, will be back in play.
Since all POWs by definition, “got caught” Trump will have to explain that one—all over again.
While McCain was in POW prison, Trump was sitting out the war, instead getting a “small loan of one million” from his father.
And so forth. Just because things were dealt with for GOP primary purposes, don’t for a second doubt they will come up again.
McCain is an elitist open borders scumbag. BTW.... TRump doesn’t fear the media like the rest of gutless and cowardly GOPe candidates.
Just staying focused on Trump if you can, does it concern you the “got caught” phrase might be back, with efforts to discredit Trump’s lack of respect for all POWs since they too, “got caught?”
I content the media is allowing Mr. Trump to continue along his path, hoping he will be selected, and then release a fresh round of attacks.
As a veteran I found Trump’s disrespect to those who “got caught” quite offensive.
The idea that Trump has successfully fought through all the instances where he showed disrespect or offended groups, and therefore it is settled is sticking one’s head in the sand.
Those and likely other episodes will come back.
Reagan was a consistent conservative for at least 15 years before he ran for governor in California. He didn’t find his conservative principles a few months before running for office. His experience with Communist infiltration of the actors guild is what drove him to the right, back in the late 1940’s.
If Jim Webb is going to run as a populist he'd be unlikely to go up against Trump and do very well, since Trump has much populist appeal.
If Trump is the nominee, he smothers Webb and you'd be more likely to see a moderate Republican type try to make an independent or third-party run.
If, on the other hand, the GOP goes with a mainstream GOPe candidate there would be plenty of disaffected populist Trump voters for Webb to appeal to (assuming Trump doesn't run as an independent himself).
Oh hell no. No soft voters in this one. The polarization is complete, even before the primarieszzzz...
Trump IS Perot plus GOP base, for purposes of previous Presidential election measurement.
The rump indie in 2016 gets 2%, at best. In fact I'll be shocked if all outlier campaigns combined add up to 2% in the most-compelling 'take-a-stand' election since 1980.
Isn’t it too late for Webb? Somebody posted that he not much of an organization and little money. All that takes time.
As a veteran, I find McCains treason more offensive.
“As a veteran I found Trumps disrespect to those who got caught quite offensive.
As a veteran, I find McCains treason more offensive. “
So any POW is by definition not worthy to Trump. But you are cool with that, in order to express your dislike for McCain?
No criticism whatsoever of a rich draft dodger, who effectively disrespects POWs because they got caught?
If it's as bad as you say, then no candidate, including Jesus Christ Himself, would beat Hillary.
Therefore, I am still rolling the dice with Trump.
The dumbest thing you can do is “stay Home” and give up! The Country is at stake FGS!
