Interesting article. Hits the nail on the head I think, with reverberations.

Try and think of this from the media, establishment, opposition, and casual observer point of view. From each point of view, you get a different perspective.

Trump has moved to my #1 choice now above Cruz.

To me it’s very simple: he’s not a politician and he can’t be bought.

Great article. I believe all the points were listed and accurately presented.

This one is spot on, and I list it here because it is difficult to articulate but Monica did a good job with it.

“Further, by turning what Hillary Clinton calls “everyday Americans” into the enemy, the left has made it harder to see and deal with our real enemies, such as the Islamic State, Iran, Russia and the Muslim Brotherhood.”

Interesting poll on page with article. Did President Obama get snookered in the Iran deal? 85% say yes, 9% say no, 5% say too soon to know.

actually I said in my post 6 days ago if Trump stumbles(like a lot of people think will happen) his spot would be handed to Cruz and that’s why Cruz has been so gracious to Trump.. Cruz would be the only real fighter left

So who has become the enemy on FR ? any Republican who does not say exactly what Freepers want to hear

And who is the hero du jour?
Someone who says exactly what Freepers want to hear and who has said a lot of stuff that is all over the map

A dangerous trend in my book

The not a politician is a big part of it but immigration is a bigger part. If any of the wannabe's figure that out it could change the game.

I’d like to see Trump in there because I believe he is the only person that can get some big things done. Everyone else is all talk. Then I’d like to see Cruz as the VP so he can learn from the master executive and gain some executive experience and run for President in 8 years. 8 years of Trump. 8 years of Cruz. Make America great again.

Sounds good to me. Another alternative for Cruz is to install him on the supreme court. A lifetime of conservative service rather than just 8 or 16 years.

I’d love to see him resign as soon as a SCOTUS slot is open, then install Palin as VP. Double dose of libtard heads exploding.
