There isn't a perfect candidate, there isn't a perfect POTUS....some will disappoint you during the running of a candidate, and the man that is given our vote as POTUS will disappoint you....the only perfect people on earth are not ON earth anymore, they are in Heaven...so don't be disappointed if the person your choosing as the next POTUS isn't perfect, we are not perfect humans....
In an interview with The Hill Wednesday, Trump bemoaned his current relationship with the Republican National Committee. “The RNC has not been supportive. They were always supportive when I was a contributor. I was their fair-haired boy,” Trump said from his Manhattan office at Trump Tower. “The RNC has been, I think, very foolish.” Trump was asked directly if he would run on a third-party ticket and did not rule it out, noting that “so many people want me to, if I don’t win.”
I’ll have to see how I’m being treated by the Republicans … Absolutely, if they’re not fair, that would be a factor. The comments come only a few weeks after Trump revealed the details of a call during which RNC chairman Reince Priebus advised the real estate mogul to “keep it down a little bit” with regard to his rhetoric.
More recently, Trump, who has been leading recent polls, drew fire from several of his fellow GOP presidential candidates for asserting at a forum in Iowa Saturday that Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was “not a war hero” in the Vietnam War. “I like people that weren’t captured,” Trump said at the time.
One of said candidates was Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who called Trump a “jackass” for his comments. At a rally in Graham’s home state of South Carolina Tuesday, Trump responded by calling the senator an “idiot” and releasing his personal cell phone number.
He is not perfect- but I like what I am hearing so far.
Maybe he will ignite a firestorm of “throw the bums out” anger that will get RINO’s primaried all over the country, and maybe some democrats oustered too. ALL INCUMBANTS should go, especially any that have been in office for the last 3 decades.
DONT FORGET !!!
Only about 10% of voters vote in primaries. So your vote goes much much farther in a primary 9to remove a RINO) than at any other time.
In my polling place last mid-term there was 16 voters ALL DAY. If I had gotten a dozen friends to join me we would have dominated that entire district or precint or whatever you call it.
We need to do that in every single district
No matter—Trump’s been talking to the GOPe/RNC and came out this morning with the proper pro-amnesty position.
They’re not really afraid of him anymore: he has the right position, they play nice, and he won’t go third party.
I don’t think they’re that scared. They’re just fine being minority as long as they get their payoffs.
What I care about is he's shaking up the racket the GOP and democrats had going.
What he needs to do now is not only continue to nail them on the illegal immigration issue, but reduce other issues to simple sound bites he can hit in interviews and rallies -
1) Obama's side deals with Iran protecting the no. 1 sponsor of Islamic int'l terrorism from attack, even from Israel
2) Congress exempting itself from provisions of the ACA
3) Obama's race database including personal information on every American citizen.
4) Planned Parenthood peddling baby parts for profit.
And on and on. People will go nuts.
No, there certainly aren’t perfect candidates. But I’d like to add this. Although I’ve not been a supporter of Trump in the vein of being a candidate for whom I’d vote, he is performing an extremely valuable function in forcing out the true mien of the rest of the candidate slate and the appeasing “concern monkeys” in the establishment GOP - notably, our so-called Republican Leaders.
The GOPe in abusing and marginalizing Trump do so at their peril. If they do force him out of bounds because of “their” rules and fear of not upsetting every victim group who aims to destroy this country, then they will reap the whirlwind. They will lose their precious chance at an appeasing triumvirate (which they are probably scared of anyway).
I’ll flat out say it: There is absolutely no way I’d vote for a Jeb Bush, or any of the other establishment GOP hacks - ever. If they force him to go third party, they’ll have sealed the fate on that win they wanted. And, I’ll go ahead and go third party, because I’m not going to hold my nose anymore and I want to send them a message they cannot ignore. For those out there who will say “you’re electing Hillary, then”....no, I won’t - the GOPe did that even before I got a chance to vote.
As I’ve said before: “the only perfect candidate is Jesus and he’s not on the ballot.”
Ted Cruz is the only authentic conservative candidate. Donald Trump is not always conservative, but at least he recognizes the corrupt, rotten GOPe for what it is and at least he has the fortitude to call out the GOPe.
If the GOPe is successful in kneecapping Ted out of the nomination, then Trump should run third-party to destroy the corrupt GOPe for once and for all. Smash it into the dustbin of history.
If he doesn’t get the GOP nomination, by then it will be too late to run as an Independent in every state. There are deadlines for filing and laws that prevent a candidate from running 3rd party if s/he loses a primary in another party.
I don’t believe this was the correct quote. GOPe were attempting to exclude the current front runner (Trump) from the debate. He demanded that he be treated fairly, or he would go third party.
So Trump has threatened to go third party, and that supposedly has the GOPgirlys running scared. That is laughable. Trump in a third party gives the presidency to the dems, and eliminates Trump from the White House. How does any of that scare the GOPGIRLYS?
Technically, it’d be a second party, since the Dems and Reps are one and the same under their more-evident-than-ever “bipartisan” Uniparty, doing the usual now-utterly-transparent Kabuki theater dances to create the flaccid semblance of a two-party system.
But what party now exists that could be a viable second “third” party? Whatever one that Trump may pick could have its profile rapidly raised overnight. (It’d be a disaster if it’s the LP, for many reasons, of course.)
Will be voting for Cruz, Paul, or Trump in the primary but if none get the nomination, I will be staying home in November. No more holding nose when voting for me.
Cruz wisely re-directed the attention where it belongs, on illegal alien felons being released to prey upon Americans.
If only the Republican Party leaders would fight those who are dedicated to destroying our Republic and burning our Constitution (as they do regularly to our flag) with as much vigor and relentless effort as they fight conservatives and others who dare speak of preserving traditional American values.
Donald Trump is not a pure conservative by any stretch, but he is passionate about what he thinks ... and that's alright by me.
THANK YOU!
Far too often I've seen candidates villified when they make a gaffe, or don't clearly state something.
Quite often though, it is merely something the "media" has taken out of context and modified to fit their agenda.
Got news for the GOPe-If Jeb Bush is the GOP candidate -this will be how the election turns out (Jeb losing) whether Trump runs third party or not.
The GOP hasn’t been fair to their loyal voters so I don’t know why they’d be fair to Trump.
For what it's worth, I dare him to run third party. It won't happen.
I don’t believe the RNC is against Trump. I think they know what he is doing helps them. They won’t admit it, but most of the flack came from unnamed media sources. Trump’s PR people could be doing that.
