TPTB (the powers that be) have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him in the last month and it only makes Trump stronger. So they have a real ordeal on their hands. They have pulled back right now and are studying long and hard for their next move, which they hope will be the kill shot. So next time they go after him, look for the kitchen sink to be thrown at him. If he survives that (whatever that is) and his popularity escalates, then TPTB will panic and probably do something very revealing and very stupid. People do stupid and revealing things when they panic or throw a fit. And that would be immensely helpful in that it would show in a real, undeniable way what is actually going on behind the scenes in American politics, the marriage of the media with the uni-party, and a LOT more people of all parties and persuasions would wake up at once. The whole key to this thing for Donald is that the groundswell of support for him gets so overwhelming that TPTB cannot deny him. If he does that, he’s won.
Then the TPTB will wait, bide their time, and try to take him down or render him ineffectual while in office. And that, believe it or not, is easier for them to do than while he’s campaigning.
Also, what Donald has to do, both now and when (if) he takes office, is to convince everyone within TPTB who is sitting on the fence to take a chance on him. You already see this in how, once peace is made with him, he behaves graciously. Also, you see it in how he characterizes his opponents as simply being “stupid” rather than “corrupt.” To call them “corrupt” implies he might go after them once in power. But stupid? That’s easy enough to live with when the alternative is going to jail.
Donald is a smart man and I think he’s been planning this for years. Step in for a few months in previous elections just to get his feet wet, get a feel for it, before attempting it for real.
This all just my opinion, of course. But interpreting and predicting media tactics is my hobby. lol
I think there is zero chance the go will nominate him no matter how popular he is. That’s why he’s keeping the option of 3rd party open.
Trump doesn’t do anything to lose. He does everything to win.
Comparisons are made to the past when candidates like Cain, Perry and Giuliani had early leads in the polls. But Trump is a different sort of breed. We shall see what we shall see.
Trump can and will become president if the American people choose to elect him president.
It’s really that simple.
I am a Cruz supporter, and a person who has called Trump a clown, and made fun of his comb over, and posted pictures of trump in clown make up, but that was before seeing that he really does appeal to a lot of people who are really sick of what’s been going on in this country.
The only thing that matters is if enough people in this country choose to nominate and then elect this man, then yes he can become president.
That is reality.
He can win.
He pulled out of the last election, but I think that, after he spent these last few years watching what happened since, won’t be pulling out of this one. And if he’s going to be in it, he’s going to do all in his power to win it - not all in his power to make it look like he’s doing all in his power to win it so he can then lose gracefully, but all he can to win.
In one of his business advice books he has devoted a chapter advising taking revenge. To me, this explains how he comes after those in the Republican primary who are taking shots at him perhaps in hopes of finding an advantage in what looks like his misfortune, and explains how he’s responding to unfairness from a supposedly objective debate moderator, from supposedly impartial media including the Fox News channel, etc.
He will probably never be the POTUS.
That being said, Let the Man SPEAK.
*Disclosure* I am a Cruz fan. If Mr. Trump ends up as the Republican nominee, I will vote for him, aside from the fact that I prefer Mr. Cruz.
No other candidate that the GOP has fielded at this point in time will give me any incentive to go out and vote.
Trump No Chump! Dump the Frump!
This was their intention since 6/16/15. They wanted him silenced way before the primaries. They failed.
There have been multiple professional level attempts to derail and silence Trump and countless other fraudulent attempts. They failed.
These professional politicians and MSM have vividly revealed who they really are. I find them most of them flat out corrupt and disgusting.
No crystal ball here. I can tell you who won’t make it.
In 2008 and 2012 Mr Trump flirted with running. I thought at the time it was a prop to his brand. Now I suspect he was waiting for the exact right time. It’s truly the perfect storm. 7 years of a yakass in the White House, millions of irate conservatives who were hosed by the leadership of both houses of Congress, and a population who has no aversion to voting for a twice divorced reality show star (I don’t).
When you take into account his skill set as well as his commanding presence and add in his willingness to tell unpleasant unfiltered truth, you have a man that people recognize as a leader. I pray for God to protect him.
I’m a Cruz fan and he gets my money but I could vote Trump with a clear conscience if he’s the last man standing. I think the “everybody knows he’s just in to stir things up before he drops out” crowd is having to edit their memes as he has acted like he intends to be the next President. I believe we will have a much clearer picture in March of next year and things will really be lighting up and getting interesting.
Anyone who has the stones to offer Sarah Palin a position in his administration deserves a vote on that alone.
...“Democrats have opened our borders to all manner of horrific Third World violence, crime, and disease. The GOP has supported and endorsed this vile activity every single step of the way. Trump has tapped into the fury of the American people over the unrelenting anti-American NWO push of our paid employees in government. Trump could win this on this one issue alone. Americans are tired of being betrayed by their government on both sides of the aisle.”...
