Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he is leading the GOP race because he represents Americans who have had it with their nation coming up short.
“People in this country are smart,” he told listeners at the National Federation of Republican Assemblies’ 2015 conference in Nashville on Saturday.
“We’re tired of being the patsies for everyone,” Trump said.
“There is a big, big, growing-by-leaps-and-bounds silent majority out there. [The 2016 race] is going to be an election based on competence.”
Trump argued he is surging in national polls because he represents the Tea Party supporters ignored by Democrats and betrayed by Republicans.
“I love the Tea Party,” Trump said. “You people have not been treated fairly. These are people who work hard and love their country, and then get beat up by the media. It’s disgusting.”
“At least I have a microphone and can fight back,” the outspoken billionaire added.
Trump indicated he envisions a much wider base for his campaign than traditional Republican voters next election cycle.
“You don’t know how big you are,” he told listeners. “The Tea Party has tremendous power. It’s Democrats, it is evangelicals, it is everybody.”
The New York business mogul also vowed he would not succumb to the prestige and power of Washington’s political establishment if he wins in 2016.
“They go to Washington and they get weak,” Trump said of Democrats and Republicans alike. “They get there and they see these beautiful, vaulted ceilings and they say, ‘Honey, I’ve made it.’ That won’t happen to me, I promise.”
Trump also said he intends on saving taxpayer dollars by focusing his energy on the nation’s capital if elected next year.

I won't let that stop me from trying to obtain it for me and mine even if the useless get to ride along....
Those who truly don't deserve it are those who pay a lot of lip service to the raw deal we keep getting but who also neglect to donate to FR and to a candidate that might make a change. Those are the ones who deserve to be in the collection pens when the bad guys finally take over - but alas, they will probably be pointing out those who actually invested themselves in the cause.
Obama’s been given a wedgie by pretty much every international leader out there and in every instance he has surrendered and cowered in fear. Why then do Boehner and McConnell roll over and play dead every time Obama walks in the room? This is a disgrace.
This kind of Trump-ing needs to be happening all over the world. I suppose that; when America is brought to the level of the third world, and there’s nowhere else to run, people will realize that being a patsy gets no one anywhere.
When there’s nowhere else to run; “immigrants” and “refugees” might have to become what they should have been all along, fighters! How long is it going to take Americans to realize that foreign invaders and illegal immigrants will continue to pour in until we either stop them or they sink us entirely. If that happens, you can be sure no one is going to be standing by with free housing, education and healthcare for us if we choose to become “refugees” instead of the fighters we’ve always been.
You need to stick to the task of bringing down the quality quotient of FR with yeti sightings and such. After all, we need to compete with The Star and you do well at those kinds of ploys. Bashing Trump and those who admire him for his forthrightness, not so much.
Well, if the majority is STILL SILENT, they haven’t learned much, have they? I am sick of hearing about these folks. What, they come out once in a while and vote because oranges cost too much? Big help that.
If the Republican Party wanted to do something about Obamacare they have had ample opportunity to do, even if they would go down in flames. But they really haven't.
All Budgets originate in the House, the House could have defunded it at any time and of course the Senate could have gone along and there would have been a Veto, but it would have been on the record.
I just saw on Meet the Press a poll from Iowa where the favorable rating for the Republican Congress is 25%, no surprise. Both parties are totally Corrupt and if and when the vote ever comes for a single- payor systems a great many Republicans will go along and vote for it.

Over 10,000 Christians stood on the Capitol grounds with Senetor Cruz in South Carolina today.....We Stand With God pro-family rally.
There’s a striking difference in those photos and photos from Trump rallies. I’m sure security concerns are behind there being such a wide buffer between Cruz and the crowd, but Trump is up close and personal at his. I’m sure security concerns are at least as pressing if not mores for Trump, but he’s diving in anyway.
This was not just a Cruz rally...Perry and Walker were also there.
Other than Cruz who’s the better alternative? Which lame, boring establishment type do you like best?
If you can find a candidate that is despised by the democrat establishment and the republican establishment you have found the right candidate. Mr. Trump goes to Washington Jan 2017!
