Not that I can tell.
Not that I can tell.
I was going to say something very similar, but you beat me to it.
He’s leading because while all the other candidates are saying carefully constructed statements that they think sounds good in the media and have a wide range of appeal, he’s speaking his mind … and people like that.
I guess FrontPageMag is getting on board. They were trashing him just last week.
Hell, why won't the Republicans fight at all?
I don’t know about anyone else, but I want Trump as President because he ISN’T a politician...he’s a businessman...he knows how to make money, how to trade, sell, and barter, he knows the prices of things...
We’ve had politicians after politicians and how has that worked for us? It hasn’t....
I like Cruz from the rest of the field of candidates because as V.P. he is a politician...he can be the go between from Trump to the Congress and Senate...Cruz knows how to write bills, he’s a good speaker, and people like him...
With Trump being President, doing what he does, making money to get America out of this debt we have...Cruz can learn from Trump....
Say Trump is there for 4 years...great...America is run like a business...Cruz can learn from Trump about that end and when Trump leaves, Cruz can step into being President for 4 or 8 years....you see the situation of having these two together....we can build our Country back...
Reagan was an ‘outsider’ and he did a great job after Jimmy Carter...sometimes we didn’t like what Reagan did, but he brought back this Country....well Trump and Cruz can do the same...bring this Country back after the crap this Kenyan did to it....sorry but if people can’t see how beneficial this can be for our Country, they need to think a little harder....
And most of them have a better bottom line in personal wealth. I’m not saying that 90% of both houses are thieves and whores but maybe 89%.
All the regular commentators, the ones often with insight still don’t get Trumps appeal. They blithely dismissTrump as entertainment, and are focused on some vague lack of Trump’s lack of depth. Thomas Sowell, eg, wrote such a column that appeared today, which reiterated all of the GOPe talking points on Trump. I heard Trump on Hewitt yesterday, and his discussion of Iran and The Planned Parenthood ghouls was very substantive.
Thank you, I have been telling my wife and everyone I know the exact same thing. Most the time people look at me as if I have horns and a tail. Now I know that my dream for America is understood by others.
This has been going on for 7+ years now. It is a major (and powerful) reason why the Beltway RINOs act the way they do. I'm not saying they would be tons better if this were otherwise, but they have accepted this false premise without even fighting back.
“No doubt some of these perceptions are unfair, simplistic, and uninformed.”
Shows the author is still tainted by journalistic PC-ness.
It has been going on since they trashed Bush and he refused to stand up for himself or the people that voted for him.
Talking points. That’s the problem with the GOP regulars. They need to move beyond talking points like Trump is doing.
Exactly. And the negative effects have lingered still until this day. Its been over 7 years since he left office and the left is still blaming Bush.
Neither do his fellow candidates, and more than a few Freepers.
My vote goes to anyone that isn’t ‘a rat and says ANYTHING other than “I’m Sorry”.
Why shouldn’t Conservatives be cowered? Look what happened when they tried to use their rights to form the Tea Parties—Old folks in lawn chairs—tricorn hats and flags. They were labled racists, terrorists, punished by the IRS and MSm—One yahoo shows up with a Confederate flag—out of the hundreds of US flags—and he’s the one who gets his picture taken in the newspaper. It was shameful—My bet that whole thing—to break the Tea Party—was directed out of the Oval Office. And it worked. Political people were humbled—broken and forced to play along with the Progs or face isolation. I blame the Media, Hollywood, and the GOP. The fighting Republicans are almost all sent to the museums. Trumps rise was caused by the GOP not standing up to Obama and his minions. Its caused by PC, Race card, and failure.
Actually; he’s speaking THEIR mind!
