Statistics and polls are easily manipulated. Ever hear of push polls?

I'm not stopping you from supporting the highly questionable Donald Trump. Keep your blinders on; be a wishful thinker; re-write history and be happy with your choice. I'm done trying to convince you.

I am presently engaged in a theological dialogue with the Pope.

In all fairness, I believe that the Obama Administration should count as at least 10 billion years in Purgatory for any half-way decent Christian.

... and I am also upset about the closing of Limbo.

Push polls devised to drive Obamas numbers down? They don't exist.

Those polls have nothing to do with Trump.

Add to your great list the fact that Trump puts the media in their place.

Can you point out which positions (from the list in post #2) which are attractive to Democrats?

I agree. He’s helping out Soros with his global rule dream.

And really, it is one horrible thing to be totally dirt ball attacked by the Socialists (Democrats) but really maddening to be attacked by their friends across the aisle; the GOP Rove Establishment when you are running as a Republican.

A good size of Americans want a third party. The GOP is the Democrats and the Democrats are the GOP. They have failed to defund Obamacare which was behind the the large size of the Tea Party which gave them power in the last election. They changed the rank and file in the house but not the brain dead leaders.

Roger Stone. Long-time pro-baby-killing, socialist RINO Republican hack.

Yes, I'm undecided. This may come as a shock but most voters wait to see who actually runs before jumping on a bandwagon.

In any case, ALL of the Republicans taking a serious look at a presidential campaign have the b@lls to take on Obama. I haven't seen one potential challenger yet who is saying "gee whiz, Obama is doing a pretty good job, I wouldn't want to say anything critical of him."

So a guy with a 30+ year proven record of liberal positions and support for liberal causes (Trump) gets a "serious look" from you if he shows up one day out of thin air and conveniently announces he's now a tea party conservative? How special. It's cute how freepers with crucify a guy like Trey Greyson for voting Democrat ONE time 18 years ago, while giving a pass to Donald Trump for being a unrepentent liberal douchebag until a few months ago.

Tell me, if Howard Dean shows up at a tea party rally tomorrow and claims to be "a conservative with the b@lls to take on Obama", will you give him a "serious look" too?

So somebody named Trey Grayson is tied to me and Howard Dean is Donald Trump is tied to me.

You could have made a stronger argument. Donald Trump is notorious for campaign contributions to democrats. He is also the only campaigner in America attacking Obama from the old left.

Of course it was. Have we heard from Trump since the BC was revealed? No. He knows he looked like an idiot, not to mention the f-word tirade he went on.

Trump is out for Trump, and likely to co-op the 'conservative' label to make all real conservatives look like the kook he's become.

Billy, I don’t throw anything out. The times are wild and trying to get socialism-marxism back in that jail will not be easy. Centralized power hates freedom of the people that put them there.

And, my favorite in-your-face, Pi$$es off Karl Rove

If the Democrat Party had a functioning brain, they would grab Trump and run him against the Mombasa Moonbeam in the primaries. He would wipe the floor with him in debates.

If the Republicans had a half a brain, they might well do the same. However, the Donald is much more at home in the Democrat Party. (IMHAOWO)

Also however, the Democrat Party often feels that this vote is theirs automatically, pays little attention to these people because they are in districts that often can be carried by the black vote. But, if they look like they would jump Republican, a Trump would be a good choice for the Democrats.
I'm thinking a town like Warren, OH. Bayonne, NJ.

People miss that part. My Dad was Democrat from the day he was born until the day he died and he wouldn’t disagree with any of that.

I am a Conservative first.

Donald Trump is still responding. He is attacking a plethora of Obama's stupid antics. Living in a tent is good sometimes.

Trump’s 15 min of fame are over. Thank God. He’s not a conservative, period.

Trump said if he doesn’t get the GOP nod, he’d consider running as an independent. IOW, if the GOP doesn’t pick me, I’m going to give you 4 more years of Obama.
