Tomorrow Trump could say that he would nuke Iran and that America has a bad case of queer fatigue...that homos should go back in the closet and his poll numbers would skyrocket. Many freepers would rejoice (including myself)
I’m Just saying again.... He can say anything and what can a candidate who is bound by their donors do?
Not much.

I like Cruz best but America as we have known it may be done.

From the article: "Native-born whites still represent 63 percent of the population and, perhaps more importantly, some 75 percent of its voters.”

Hello people, can we finally get it together enough to elect a conservative on Nov 8, 2016? Given the mood of the country a 60% majority shouldn't be too hard, should it?. . . Okay, 54%? . . I don't care, I just want to WIN with a conservative!

Trump is a milti-billionare business man and has donated to whatever political party is in office at any particular time.

He says he does not believe in abortion, that he was did but now does not. He says marriage is a man and woman.

He’s for stopping the illegal invasion of this country. When was the last time a republican or democrat had the guts to say what Trump says. Never. They’re too scared of what someone else might think of them. You can like Trump or not, but the truth of the matter is he says exactly what politicians don’t have the nerve to say. And that’s his appeal. Americans are sick and tired of lying politicians that say anything to stay in power. Trump knows all these characters. Most of them, including Romney, have courted his endorsement AND MONEY for years. That’s why he says what he feels like saying and could care less what anyone thinks of him. He is beholding to no one and the media and establishment republicans hate him for it.

Trump needs to step up and broaden his attacks.

The media is one place in particular he needs to focus on; "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”

The Washington Post was the center of gravity of the recent fraudulent narrative relating to the "McCain" issue. The media groups followed their lead. The inside the beltway lead and paper of record for the political elite.

His stump speeches should begin to target that very paper. Maybe he could ask how many in attendance still reads that "tabloid." He could then ask how many believe anything printed in that "tabloid." He could then ask what type of people would work for a place like that. Finally, he could wonder what type of business would spend any advertising there.

He could then close by asking his audience if they would ever want to do business with anyone that advertises there.

No one has sympathy for the media. I think more Americans would feel remorse swatting a mosquito than swatting a journalist.

Yes it is kinda like having a freeper, but he has only been a Freeper for the last few years according to his record, unless he was taking other positions as cover and was conservative all along, but knew he couldn’t speak out lest the lib establishment just destroy him.... Time will tell.

That's EXACTLY it.

Thanks, I figure that if I keep repeating the same thing, over and over again, someone in a position to help this country just might pick up on it. Maybe that person is Trump - time will tell.

Not long ago, I drafted up a fictional piece (from the future) called “The Closest Call” which went into detail of how the Democrats and their Republican Party infiltrators (called ‘advisers’) nearly saw their entire plan for transforming the country - a plan hatched in their Hippie years at our top colleges, derailed by the evidence staring everyone STRAIGHT IN THE FACE regarding the results of the 2014 elections (which I write about - that 70-75% of the electorate is still white, and if they unify, there is simply no mathematical way for conservatives to lose). Some of the Republicans were wavering, particularly Ted Cruz, thinking that maybe unifying the white vote was the answer. The others, to a man, actually believed the advisers, and so they were convinced that Open Borders and Amnesty was the only hope for the future of the party. Needless to say, the objective, of course, of Open Borders and Amnesty was to wipe out conservatism by making us a permanent minority.

In the end, Cruz is unable to unify the white vote due to Alinsky tactics and lack or resources, and the advisers ultimately win, and really kick into gear their final plan, which is to make sure that the world never again sees a “white society” as they call us. In Europe, that’s done by importing huge numbers of Muslims (very far along already), while in the US it’s Muslims and everyone else, other than whites.

If Trump keeps this up, my story might just have a happy ending instead.

...and interestingly, I heard that strategy almost repeated to a word by an ‘adviser’ that was interviewed on the Michael Medved show on Monday (with some guest host). He said that before the 2016 campaign started, the Republican Party got every candidate to agree that it was off-limits to try to fire up Republican voters on hot button issues, particularly Open Borders, and that was to be (for the 3rd time in a row, I might add) our winning strategy in 2016 - and how Trump has blown it all now.

Since you have little, or no, patience with people who change their position, you must absolutely loathe Scott Walker. BTW, anybody heard what he’s changed his mind on today?

"Since you have little, or no, patience with people who change their position, "

That's not what I said. Certainly a person can change his position. But when it's done on the campaign trail, I view it with a jaundiced eye. And in Trump's case, when EVERY SINGLE POSITION he's held has done a 180, and when I've seen Trump's BS in action before, I'm not buying it.

"you must absolutely loathe Scott Walker. BTW, anybody heard what he’s changed his mind on today?"

It's not about loathing Walker. I don't. I've only hated one person in my life, and his middle name is Hussein.

I'm not a Walker fan, though. The more I see of him, the more I believe he's establishment Republican. Cruz is by far the choice for me.

I don’t believe Trump had to donate to both political parties, sorry. If he did, he’s willing to sell out like any other politician.

Yes, he’s flipped on every position. He has also changed political parties several times, and his record is undeniably liberal. That’s the standard by which conservatives judge candidates.

I know he’s saying good things, and they need to be said. I get that’s the reason for his appeal. But we need to appreciate his words for what they are instead of somehow believing they make him qualified to be president.

The problem we have is the only true conservative running for president is Ted Cruz and the RINOs will never let him win the nomination. Trump is as “conservatives” as any of other bunch he’s running against. All will appeal to their audience and you can’t believe a word that comes out of their mouths. That’s why conservative voters are taking a look at this non-politician Trump. He’s a businessman that says what he feels like saying and to hell with anyone that doesn’t like it. He’s shaking up the establishment and for that I am grateful. They need to be shook the hell up. Boehner and his brand of RINOs have sold the country down the tubes for too long now.

"The problem we have is the only true conservative running for president is Ted Cruz and the RINOs will never let him win the nomination."

And you think the RINOS will open their arms wide for Trump?

I never saw any of this defeatist attitude toward Cruz until some became distracted by the shiny new loud thing. It's just an excuse.

" Trump is as “conservatives” as any of other bunch he’s running against. All will appeal to their audience and you can’t believe a word that comes out of their mouths."

Which makes Trump no better than the rest of them. We do, however, have a solid conservative in the race who actually has some integrity---Cruz. So there's no logic in dumping him to support one of the liars, as you put it.

" That’s why conservative voters are taking a look at this non-politician Trump. "

But you're not taking a look. That's the problem. You're letting your ears be tickled by what you hear.

I would encourage conservatives to take a look at him---at his record and his past. They will see that he's a liberal Democrat.

"He’s a businessman that says what he feels like saying and to hell with anyone that doesn’t like it. He’s shaking up the establishment and for that I am grateful. They need to be shook the hell up. Boehner and his brand of RINOs have sold the country down the tubes for too long now."

I completely agree with all of that. But it doesn't make him fit for the presidency. It makes him useful for what he is saying right now, always keeping in mind that he's a liberal.

I think that comparison is only true in the sense that the (R)epublicrats would once again incorrectly blame an electoral loss to the 'other guy'. That was a lie in 1992. The two Bush41 campaigns were entirely different and Bush literally threw the 2nd one. In 1988 Bush was a conservative candidate with a pair of stones, brutalizing the 'liberal' Dukakis constantly. In 1992 he acted as an emasculated (R)hino and never even uttered the word 'liberal'. He had somehow been re-educated ( even after enormous approval ratings from the Gulf War! and a gift-horse Clinton handing him multiple sexual scandals ). Furthermore, it is offensive for (R)epublicrats to advance the notion that our votes are theirs to begin with.

Perot drew from all voting blocs, even liberals who likely couldn't pull the switch for an alleged southern blue-dog (D)ummycrat. I voted for Bush41 but if I knew then what I know now it would have been for Perot. I guess it was out of loyalty to Reagan.

If Trump can actually nail down the nomination the stupid (R)epublicrats better realize the catbird seat they occupy. Trump self-financing the main ticket is an extremely rare and positive development because it would entirely free up the party resources ( $200 million maybe ) to swamp the (D)ummies in Congressional and local elections. If they have any brains and coordinate properly they could create a landslide and mandate resembling 1972 and 1984. In both those years the electorate had their pitchforks out as well, to ensure a McGovern or a Mondale doesn't bring radicalism to main street.

Trump needs to seriously figure out how to pick off New York or California. Both would be the landslide scenario but either one locks it up. And this is easily do-able by going after blue-collar and union members. They used to run 52-48 but have moved to 60-40 or more in recent years depending on economics and other circumstances so a swing of 10% minimum puts it squarely in play. A *real* campaign in either or both states would traumatize the (D)ummies and deplete their resources everywhere else. He is financially able to compete in these states whereas the recent Rhino efforts were to leave them alone resulting in 60-40 ratios. That said, MI, PA, CT, OH, and more are definitely do-able and would devastate the (D)efensive bankroll.

Anyone that doubts this as far-fetched apparently has no memory of 1972 or 1984. Seeing the looks on the faces of the leftist scum on TV on election night watching the table being run for a 3rd time in my life would be wonderful.

I’m also a Cruz guy. I worked for his Senate campaign here in Texas. I do NOT think Trump will get the nomination, but, at this point in time, he is providing a service for Cruz and the Patriots of this nation. He is tromping through the mine fields dragging RINOs, Liberals and media persons with him and they are suffering huge casualties. In so doing, he is clearing the way for Cruz to stay above the fray and avoid stepping on a political land mine, and, ultimately, be the one to reach the other side as the victor.

“And you think the RINOS will open their arms wide for Trump”.

Of course not and it’s driving them crazy. But Trump has the money to by pass big shot donors. My prediction is in a few months Trump will have had fun playing with heads, get out and throw his support to Cruz. The first debate should be fun. If airhead Rick Perry is there to launch bombs against Trump. Hopefully Mr. 1% will not have enough support to be invited. If he’s there he’ll ruin the debates. He’ll take up all his time trashing Trump. No one needs his BS.
