Trump 2008: Bush Is Evil, Talk to Iran, Obama Cannot Do Worse Than Bush

Did you see the interview yesterday, not ruling out a third party run? Cue: President Clinton (or hell, maybe President Sanders!!!)

Trump is well aware of the parallel. He told Byron York of the Washington Examiner this week, “I think every single vote that went to Ross Perot came from [George H. W.] Bush. Virtually every one of his 19 percentage points came from the Republicans. If Ross Perot didn’t run, you'd have never heard of Bill Clinton.”

[C. Edmund Wright]

Ah...so you see Cripplecreek as a neutral party not "pushing" any candidate, just providing information to the masses..... Tell me, how exactly is Donald Trump bad for politics right now?

Wow dude, hard to make so many mistakes in such a short post. I'll try and clean this up for you. First, I know cripplecreek has a favored candidate, but I also know that he is a very reasoned and long time poster and solid conservative. The same cannot be said for Donald Trump, who is extremely new to this conservative stuff. And I think that's the point.

And second, I know he also has other candidates he's eyeing, so he's far from some kind of kool aid drinker. Moreover, he posts a lot of stuff and comments on a lot of stuff that is not about presidential candidates. I'm sorry you are limited in your scope to just candidate threads. You must be bored three years out of every four.

And third, I never said Donald Trump was bad for politics. In fact, I've said he's GOOD for the process and that he has THE RIGHT PEOPLE's worried.

So my question to you is, why take every comment personally, and why not actually speak to the substance of the comment.

Whatever.

So Trump is Wendell Willkie (1940), not Ross Perot (1992, 1996).

Google "Donald Trump and Wendell Willkie."

You'll get liberals saying Trump's no Willkie (they believe Willkie was a liberal after all and Trump isn't).

And you'll get Trump mentioning Willkie in his book.

To be honest, I don’t even worry about voting. I live in Texas where, by the time the nomination process swings to my state, it’s already over. So basically I live in one of the biggest conservative states in the Union and don’t actually have any say on who will be the nominee. Instead, the mushy liberal states pick my candidate.

Isn’t he getting bashed right now for saying illegal aliens are mostly criminals? He came out pro-life too, and the Oprah thing was a joke.

Like it or not if it comes down to Hillary vs Bush there will be a third party candidate.

****************

There are 459 candidates out there now. Most don’t have a chance
but they have filed the FEC Form 2 to run as a candidate.

Take a peak.....

Who can BELIEVE WHAT he says?
He's changed sides so many time.
Will he FLIP again?

I think as a business man, if he gives his word, he’ll keep it.

Well thank you kindly. Today’s effort would have been the first in about 17 years.....I AM a little bashful.

But, I will be ready NEXT time. Promise.

[deport]

I AM a little bashful.

***************

Don’t be but I understand. I think it makes for a better forum for lots of
different people posting articles, ideas, etc as opposed to a few doing
most of the posting. That said I don’t post a lot of articles anymore.
Years ago I posted a lot.

Take care.

Some amusing comments on this thread if you didn’t see it.

If you don’t like where Trump stands on an issue, give him a minute.

[sickoflibs]

It kind of reminds me of that Romney thread.

Both ‘Beating dead horses’ threads, GWB, Romney....

Good for popcorn.

[KC_Conspirator]

lolololol.

I like the Trump effect; because he has people talking. However, I have other candidates in mind as favorites.
