Donald Trump would be the kind of leader that Thomas Jefferson warned us about when he said

"When the people fear the government, that's tyranny; when the government fears the people, that's freedom."

Think long and hard, would a candidate who spends his days viciously attacking others lead a government that "fears the people?" Or as he does now would he ensure that the people fear him?

We already have a dishonest egomaniac in the WH and we
see how that’s going.

And when Donald was nine he licked a stamp twice.

So there’s that too...

With Donald, sad to say, but it looks like it’s either his way or the highway. Gee, sure sounds a lot like what we have now.

How can we have factions when even this faction fractures?

We're collectively paving Rubio's path.

Ted Cruz had his 15 minutes of fame. He’ll be a back marker soon.

Trump lies about everything if he thinks he can benefit.

Here is an article about Trump tower being built with illegal alien labor doing demolition work for just $5/ hr. and Trump did whatever he could to avoid paying them when Trump’s demolition contractor filed bankruptcy.

The work involved asbestos removal and the illegal aliens had no protective equipment. Can you imagine the fines and criminal prosecutions Trump would have faced if he wasn’t “connected” to corrupt New York politicians and government officials?

Trump couldn’t care less about the common man. It’s all about him,and screw anyone he can if it benefits him.

I’d like to see how the Trumpites defend this.

Yeh Trump who never sent shaming letters or tried to pull dirty trix at the Iowa caucus would be a terrible mistake. LOL!

Trumps done these antics his whole life.....threats, accusations, and insults.....which is why he’s pretty much operating his campaign solo with his family members. Few want to associate with him unless they stand to gain something from Trump.

“Dummy” — the same word he used to describe Michelle Malkin. What does that say about The Don and women?

And this is a familiar trope. It’s similar to the claims he made about the Club for Growth and about Bob VanderPlaats.
