Well, here’s a thought, Mr. Trump. If it’s not worth it, why don’t you just cut your losses and go back into the private sector and build more stuff and create more jobs? True, there would be far less media attention and that would require an adjustment (and perhaps therapy) on your part. Nevertheless, you wouldn’t have to put up with those ungrateful voters anymore, and you’d be increasing your wealth while creating more jobs.

One recommendation though: don’t attempt to increase your wealth by taking people’s homes or land from them. Even the most hard-core Trumpian frowns on that practice.

Some people claim that the voters are to blame,
But I'm pretty sure that it's Bush's fault.

He is talking about the voters who did NOT vote for him.

Of course they are the central issue for any candidate.

However, Trump’s problem is that he rose on the strength of Borders, Immigration, Jobs, and National Security.

He got sidetracked into other things that shouldn’t been central ever.

I don’t mind a little after action review following any operation. I hope his team is doing that.

I hope Cruz’s team is doing that.

Trump is handling loss (didn't he tell us he never loses?) much better than we thought he would.

I thought he would be calling the Iowan voters stupid again.

Trump : “The media has not covered my long-shot great finish in Iowa fairly.”

Must be that evil Megyn Kelly, her blood oozing again LOL.

I wouldn’t say he “blamed” voters, but he did tweet this:

‘I don’t believe I have been given any credit by the voters for self-funding my campaign, the only one. I will keep doing, but not worth it!’

“They can still buy Cruz, and have been donating to his PAC”

I don’t think that the GOP establishment can buy him, but they can sure pressure him more easily than they can Trump.

I have great respect for you, as you know. But I will keep doing, but not worth it!’... he’s gotta stop saying stuff like that or Cruz will be 3rd and Trump WILL BE SECOND!!! and we’ll all be screwed with RUBIO! Trump gets attacked first and if he’s not around it’s Cruz, like we saw last week with the debate. I can see preferring one over the other, but I dont see either as a bad choice and I will vote for either in the primary. I HOPE trump realizes the bigger threat is from Rubio at this point. His daughter should have to screen his twitter posts!!

A great summary of Trumps position--accurate.

Whining is a no-no in politics; ever. If the media won't do the whine for you you can never help yourself by doing it alone.

And he doesn't need to continue to personally attack the remaining competitors. All he has to do is contrast his position with theirs on the narrow issues that count with people who are going to the ballot box. Rubio is an open borders person no matter how he describes it; Trump and Cruz are not. National Security includes keeping American enemies out.

The military is in disastrous condition. We have no plan for defending a missile attack from the South and all the strategists expect one.

The economy is in terrible condition for everyone except the Wall Street banking community.

Rubio, Kasich, Bush, are all on the wrong side of all of those issues; Trump and Cruz are all on our side. Simple as that.

Trump's appeal is that he is committed to ousting the existing political establishment from control. He has the personal resources to do so and make it stick. As long as he could maintain that position, he would be the favorite.

But he is starting to lose control and if he can't stay on that number, he loses.

I've seldom seen a more bitter group of Evangelical Christian winners.

Got news for ya -- Cruz has plenty of support outside of Evangelicals.

Cruz an establishment guy? That’s just absurd. Iowa voters didn’t like being called stupid. They opted for Cruz. Period..
