I thought Trump won the debate hands down.

When he said to Cruz...I funded you...that was the end. Both of them. Put in their places in nice little rows.

It was over for the night. A knock out punch.

I don’t think N. Korea has an illegal immigration problem, does it? Thanks for proving my point that walls are effective.

Thanks, again!

So I have a question to all the Trump supporters who viciously attack ANY criticism of Trump. Is there ANYTHING Trump could do that would make you think he is not the right guy for president?

As long as the ENTIRE Washington/Media Establishment is arcing out in drooling, pants-soiling paroxysms, we know Trump is the right guy. :)

To me the most interesting thing about this article and the many others like it coming from those supporting the GOPe is how completely they have embraced the same Alinski tactics of Obama. There is no substance to this article. It is all ridicule and over-simplification. And the author calling other people stupid. He might as well be advocating Global Warming or some other liberal causes.

This type of nasty hit piece has been fairly effective in the past. I think many people now recognize the form and I do not believe it resonates here except among those already supporting one of the failed campaigns. I am not sure about how it plays in other venues... but calling the intended target stupid is not a winning strategy in my opinion. If they had started with this tactic before Trump had a large following it might have had a greater chance of success. At this point it is just hurting the chances of a Republican taking the Whitehouse.

It is clear that the author still does not understand what is driving support for Trump.

I, along with many Trump supporters concede he is not a conservative. I will concede he may in fact have his own agenda. I will concede in a nation of over 350 million he may not be the best person to be President. In fact I will concede all your point. So what!

If Trump was not in the race, many things that a vast number of Americans are concerned about would not even be on the table for discussion.

Can Trump solve these problems, who knows. I do know that the other candidates would prefer they were not on the table and that they did not have to address them.

Trump is the voice of the little guy, and the UNI party does not want that voice heard.

Someone earlier mentioned the French Revolution. It is a good analogy. At the time, Kings were god like, had great power over their subjects. The King did not want to hear how bad their rule have made life for the average Frenchman. In the end, even the King could not prevent what happened when the people finally said enough is enough.

You don’t like Trump, fine, don’t vote for him. But don’t wrap yourself in smugness in the belief that those that support Trump are some how ignorant, or just kool aid drinkers. You might want to consider we are smarter than you give us credit for.

People elect leaders with vision, not technocrats who are able to recite paragraph 11.b. from plank 4 of their “plan”.

Debates and campaigns are about themes, not details. Those come later, after a candidate has won and has put the best subject matter experts in place to develop the tactical implmentation plans.

I doesn't matter who the article is from. It's spot on.

“.is I’m going to open up our libel laws so when they write purposely negative and horrible and false articles, we can sue them and win lots of money.”

This would allow Harry Reid to sue the bejeebers out of me for writing his biography. Along with the horde of lowlife’s that I also expose in my book.

Oh and Free Republic would go bye bye as well. Any time anyone here spouts anything ‘negative’, much less ‘false’ expect to be sued.

My theory is that Trump threw the "newspaper libel" thingee out there to suck all the political oxygen out of the tent before Tuesday.

He KNEW how the Media DeathStar would react. Can't wait to see the schedules on the Sunday talking heads shows. :)

So the ONLY thing you care that he does is the wall. If there were another candidate that also wanted to build a wall, would you consider him/her?

They seem to miss the point that Cruz and Rubio seem to have become tag-team members and best buds - funny how one person's opinion makes it into print and so many want to claim it as reality.

If it was reality, trump would have taken a beating in the latest polls.......

Funny. What did Lincoln say he would do if elected? He said if he could undo secession by keeping skavery, he would do it. If he could restore the Union by eliminating slavery, he would do it. His ONLY clear policy (”build a wall”) was to “hold, occupy, and possess” the federal forts. And how Mr. Lincoln?

Didn’t say. He never laid out a plan EITHER for building an army and securing a military defeat OR negotiating a peace. In fact he had no plan for anything. Can you say Lincoln “kept his options open”?
