No need to attack him. Voters will tire of this huckster’s antics at start gravitating toward serious candidates. Just enjoy the entertainment.

*and start..

I’m all in favor of them attacking Trump, because to do so exposes their own weaknesses.

And, we know their loyalties. Now we KNOW who the enemy leaders are.

They better tell Trump that, he came out swinging on the day of his announcement and has been attacking everything and everyone since.

[kjam22]

You would think these idiot candidates would stay away from attacking Trump after watching him cut up Jebester, and Donut boy, and now Little Ricky.

[tennmountainman]

Don’t blame Trump for the weakness of the other GOP clowns.

Univision ran a poll that has Trump at 7% with Latinos, but Trump is suing them for half a billion $ dollars. Trump polling is likely low, but Univision likely embellished their polling. A year from now, if Trump gets 30% or more from Hispanics in a general election, I’d call that a win. Romney as I recall got 27% of their votes.

NBC ran a poll not too long ago that had Trump at 1% LoL, however that was off by about 10 times higher in Trump’s favor.

Trump did cancel his winning show with NBC. all biased motivations making polls by these two indeed suspect.

Also, the news reported his statements often highly in error.

“Trump is throwing out popular ideas. If they come out in opposition, criticizing his ideas, they show their own ideas and they can be held accountable for them.”

Indeed. Trump’s providing excellent Bait for Leftist CARP!

[TBP]

They’re running against him for the nomination and he’s one of the frontrunners. Of course they’re going to attack him.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Cruz is the only one who hasn’t, but the fact of the matter is that Trump’s bonafides are, at the very least, highly questionable.

Some Freepers agree with him on immigration and for that they seem willing to sacrifice everything else.

For the record: Cruz has been a conservative all his life. And he doesn’t twist with the prevailing wind.

[9YearLurker]

Even worse—they plot to double the size of a group that will reliably vote for affirmative action privileges—and against the GOP.

[Din Maker]

Pill-poppin’ Perry takes on Tough-talking Trump...... Bad mistake.

[Din Maker]

Wow! The similarity between Wilders and Trump is almost unbelievable.

[Din Maker]

The GOP blindly chases 30% of 12% of the electorate

Wow! That puts things in a new perspective. Actually I think the percentage of Hispanics in America is now 16 percent. The Hispanics surpassed the Blacks as the largest Minority in the U.S. in the 2010 Census. So, 30% of 16% is just under 5%. NOW, losing 5% could make a difference in the Popular Vote. However, spread that 5% over 50 States. Electorally, it is minuscule (yes, that's the correct spelling) especially with most of them being in Texas, New York and California. Texas is going Red anyhow and NY and CA are dyed-in-the-wool Blue so............ Really, how big of a difference does the Hispanic vote make? The only three States where it might make a difference are Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico. Now..... One final point......

The depressed Black voter turn-out in 2016 will offset any gains the Dems make in the Hispanic voter turn out. I guarantee you, the Blacks will NOT turn-out in '16 like they did in '08 and '12. Damn, Lurkinanloomin; you made my day.
