My question is, why aren’t the other 15 saying what needs to said and laying out the policies Trump is? They are conservatives aren’t they? [ trick question :) ]

So far it is just Cruz, and he’s just saying it in softened tones & politically correct soothings. Walker might be able to negotiate a pathway to the same position as Trump, but he doesn’t have the bankroll that Trump has. So it might just become Walker vs. Trump after super Tuesday. Could be a brokered convention. I like what is going on so far.

Who the heck is Howard Baker?
I thought I knew everything, but guess not!

Because they've got advisors saying "don't say this or you'll piss off this guy" and "don't say that or this group won't give us money".

The ultimate “company man” for the Republican Establishment, from about 30 years ago.

Whether you like Donald Trump or not, what’s impressive is that he’s displaying leadership right now by shaping the topics that will dominate the 2016 presidential race — immigration, jobs and national security. Trump is setting the political agenda, not his opponents on the GOP ticket, nor the Democratic machine.

^^THAT^^.

Then he had better get loud and unsoothing and convincing because he is stalled. Trump I believe is in this because he is fearful for the future of the country, he sees what is going on and he is pissed and determined to do something about it. Trump is Joe the plumber with $10 billion dollars and he is all in. People are jumping on the bandwagon with Trump because they are also fearful and angry and they don’t see anyone else running who they trust to actually fight for them. Trump is a fighter and he is fighting for us.

Politically correct soothing words are not even close to cutting it.

What a contrast to Hillary Clinton, who spends most of her campaign either hobnobbing with one-percenters at
expensive private fundraisers at millionaires’ homes or roping off media and refusing to answer their questions.
At this point in Clinton’s campaign, the average voter doesn’t know what she actually stands for as she’s refused
to take any real questions from voters — or media — that aren’t staged or pre-screened by handlers.

Yup, Trump with an ego the size of The Trump Tower is taking orders from the RNC/GOPe.

Dang, that’s catchy.

Awhile back I read an article that said Hillary would only agree to one “debate” against the pub candidate. I sure hope that can’t be true as I want to see her debate Cruz or Trump.

Trump is not a conservative, he is more likely working for the GOPE in order to help Jeb.

Well, I guess you ended up being SUPER wrong!
