Donald Trump’s security advisor is former DIA chief, Gen. Michael Flynn.

A Trump administration will be like Ronald Reagan’s 3rd term.

If Donald Trump were to win the 2016 election, I predict that at least 90% of his supporters here on FreeRepublic will either disappear or change their screen names.

If there's one word to describe the guy, I'd say it's erratic.

Nobody here has any idea what he stands for, and how he would govern.

I believe we’d have more LIBERAL judges with a Trump presidency.

Let’s vote for a CONSTITUTIONAL CONSERVATIVE!

it’s caucus day. As the howlers see DT start to run the table, their howls will reach a crescendo. Imminent apocalypse! Dogs sleeping with cats! Anarchy! Tyranny! The heartbreak of psoriasis!

Very entertaining to watch.

As for a DT presidency, it will be pretty calm. The guy is a deal maker. After the fainting and pearl clutching next November, things will calm down.

Much like the Obama presidency.

Executive orders for everything.

Surely you jest - do you really believe anyone else (except Hillary/Bernie/some of the rest of Repub field) would have the same "screw you America" meat in their EOs?

It has been argued amongst me and my friends that his Presidency isn’t nearly as important as his campaign.
There is NOTHING as dangerous to our country right now as the scourge of Political Correctness.
We are living in an age of thought control. If Trump wins, it is a YUGE blow to the Media, the establishment parties and Political Correctness.
What happens AFTER he becomes President is probly’ just more of the same, but if he kicks down the iron gate created to keep “normal folk” out, we have a chance.
Love him or hate him, Trump is an outsider and “they” can’t stand the thought of him upsetting the apple-cart (much the same way they despised the thought of an outsider like Palin getting “too close”).

No, they didn’t. Most Brits, Irish and Euros couldn’t have cared less. In fact in the UK there was a public backlash at the wall to wall media coverage of the 2008 election and US elections per se. In Nov 2008 and 2012, most Brits and Irish cared more about Champions League soccer, TV soaps and the X Factor.

Maybe you want to understand that others may see something differently, and that there may be something in that. Fresh eyes, a different perspective.

Love him or hate him, Trump is an outsider

<><><><

This is a meme I do not understand in the slightest.

He has been buying access (by his own admission) to politicians for decades, and he’s an outsider?

Trump’s ideas as he has expressed them differ little from “Obamacare” and “Immigration Reform” as per congress.

Single payer top down healthcare, and “Bring’em back with a path to citizenship” as Trump has proposed is screwing the country for sure.

What Trump would appoint as judges would rival Moonbeam Brown for legislating from the bench.

I like Trump's minigun, and the superchicken is a nice touch ..... but where's his ermine collar?

Just cking the returns from Iowa, The Donald underperformed, and the PBS people are yoo-hoo'ing Marco Rubio's performance and stopping just short of saying (one woman did say it) that the Establishment will now rise from the earth (like great orcs, honey?) and rally around Rubio to sweep him to the nomination, blowing away all the little, insignificant, flyover people.

Happy, happy, PBS Cruz-haters. (Hey, kids -- he won !)

They are also subtly tilting their "anal -ysis" toward Bernie and away from Beastwoman. (I'm not complaining!)

Given a choice there is a point in time where a democracy will vote for self-destruction putting selfish interests ahead of their country. See Greece.

Carthage did that, too. Merchants (like our Chamber of Commerce does) bribed their supreme court to overturn a public law instituting a sales tax to fund Hannibal, who'd discovered to his dismay that he was going to need tons of Greek silver to dissolve the Cosa Nostra-style "deals" and "alliances" the Romans had used to unite Italy under their leadership.

The merchants made the play that Harvard B-school wisdom would counsel them to do, and it cost them their city and their future.

Much of what you posit is actually unknown.

What you ignore is what Hillary or Bernie would do in comparison.

It is well known, except to the crazy trumpets, that Trump favors judicial activism in a big way.

He would appoint the very same judges as sHitlery or Burnie would.

We now know for sure that Trump is no winner, he is in a tie with GOPe Rubio for “also ran.”

Yeah - it seems that to some who refuse to vote for anything but "perfect", the line you dish up is that our guy will do exactly what the other side's guy would do - how stupid is that? Hint - prove that anyone on our side, bad as they may have been, would have as rabidly pushed abortion at all costs, homosexuals as a superior lifestyle, Muslims as who we need to kow-tow to, and the same general lawlessness as Obama.

Don't be so freaking pathetic - if you want the Nation to hit the sewer ASAP, kindly identify as a "progressive liberal", but please don't keep shoveling manure and calling it chocolate pudding...

You made a big jump.

I was not talking about Obama; I was speaking about current candidates. We’re not going to re-elect Obama.

Your choices are what would head us further into the sewer.

Trump believes that judges and chief executives should be allowed to get creative. No legit Republican holds that view.
