Clinton's been having a bad time as well.

Whacking a regular Joe Blow is easy. Taking out a multibillionaire not so easy
Fascinating. The Daily Caller has gone full Daily Thorazine.
[The Only Person Who Can Upset The Establishment] is to [Clinton] as [A Hand Grenade With A Bad Haircut] is to [The Only Person Who Can Upset The Establishment]
Yeah, have you noticed that most psychics and palm readers live in dumps? What’s with that?
I remember 1968 when JEAN DIXON predicted the next President would be GEORGE ROMNEY after Bobby Kennedy was murdered.
I also remember when the STAR tabloid declared in BIG LETTERS, that “JEAN DIXON SAYS NIXON WILL NOT RESIGN!” It hit the news stand the very week Nixon resigned.
Ten years later her publicity agents said she HAD predicted Nixon’s resignation.
Reminds me of the story about the midget physic that escaped police custody.
The headline stated
“Small Medium at Large”
Lol
A mirror would do.
I found this photo of MKJessup in his office. I think it's telling.
So many FReepers have lost their CONSERVATIVE minds. THEY WANT TO BELIEVE IN TRUMP.
;-]
Ah, your analogy fails by poor definition.
Perot gave us Clinton. Trump will give us Clinton. While it’s true that Perot appeared to be “The Only Person Who Can Upset The Establishment” history demonstrates otherwise.
It is wise to learn from history, particularly when the new The Only Person Who Can Upset The Establishment is at best a NY-RINO.
I am a conservative and support the conservative in the Primary, not the RINO. If, sadly, enough fools support the RINO in the primary and said RINO wins, then I support the RINO against the Democrat because, once again, history shows that RINOs trump Democrats.
And, as a thoughtful person, you know that past behavior is the best indicator of future behavior. That’s why I support Walker. If he hadn’t castrated the worst union in the country, the one that’s responsible for sexualizing and socializing our children, you’d never have heard of that conservative, Christian Wisconsin governor.
Trump can’t hold a candle to Walker’s bona fides.
Trump’s poll numbers are driven by LIVs, so I am trying. Keep in mind that illegal immigration is simply the symptom of run away government. If you don’t elect a candidate who will work to shrink government you just get another four years of what you don’t want.
All of Trump’s campaign positions involve more government, actually a continuation of the imperial presidency with Donald-in-charge this time. That’s not moving toward liberty, but throwing it away. I am grateful that he moved the illegal immigration issue forward, but that’s it.
Even Cruz has only promised to do things. He hasn’t achieved any of his promises, excepting the shut-down which I am deeply grateful for. I wish he did it again. Of all the candidates currently running only one, Walker, has actually nailed the union/government conspiracy and he did it in a Democrat state. That’s incredible.
I am a pragmatist and there’s no proof like a history of winning and body slamming liberals. Walker’s got that, plain and simple.
At best, at the very best, Trump’s a NY-RINO. The positions he takes are exactly the positions that white, union construction workers in Chicago take. I suspect that NY is the same.
Points well taken.
In a perfect political world, things would always play out in the best interest of We The People and our Constitution, unfortunately as former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said, “sometimes you go to war with the army you have, not with the army you want” (paraphrased).
Believe me, I know political disappointment, in 2008 I saw in former Congressman Duncan Hunter of California the best chance to bring back the Reagan years, he was 100 percent right on the issues, and in fact was part of the original Reagan Revolution of 1980, but twas not to be.
It’s still early in the game. Trump IS taking up all the air in the room, but if it means that RINO scum like Bush, Christie, Pataki, et al, end up asphyxiating, that’s just fine with me. If Trump is causing the establishment GOP heartburn, I’m all for contributing my bottle of Louisiana Hot Sauce to the cause.
I get what you’re saying. I don’t want a RINO either, but they’re all still in the game: Bush, Rubio, Christie, Gilmore, Graham, Huck, Kasich, Pataki and Santorum. None of whom, but Bush or Rubio have a chance to win the nomination.
They’re all there as GOPe placeholders and Trump hasn’t driven one of them out. As a matter of fact, Trump won’t and cannot defeat the GOPe. Only we can.
I don’t buy Trump and I hope you and other FReepers don’t either. Walker is proven, Cruz is proven. No matter what the GOPe is going to be there. We need a POTUS that will empower the GOP Congressional conservatives, who are stronger than ever today, to win and move the country in a drastically different direction.
How can you possibly say such an extreme statement? "All"? Really?
There are legitimate mandates for the national government, about which he is clear: strengthen the military, enforce legal immigration law, reduce legal immigration and stop illegal immigration completely; also, craft better trade deals with other nations and make our economy strong again by reducing debt, cutting government waste and eliminating unnecessary regulation. He also recognizes that there has been no love lost between Obama and the America that was great, and why and how it was great. Trump of all people understands the complex relationship between regulation and getting things done, and has had to fight politicians throughout his career to get things built.
Every election, we go through this on FR, with the conservative idealists being as extreme in their language and as far away from center in fantasy land as the leftists are in their direction. I agree with the above poster who noted that sometimes you have to dance with the girl you brought. He is our best shot at regaining a sense of unity and forward motion at dismantling the damage done by the socialists over the past several Democrat administrations, and also the two Bushes (same thing).
Again, I'm going to repost this list originated by another freeper, that summarizes his agenda. I can't see any "big government" direction there; rather, using the government to reduce the size and reach of government:
Trump agenda:
1. Build the Wall
2. Enforce laws pertaining to illegals
3. Balance budgets
4. Middle class tax cut
5. Simplify tax code
6. Make military strength a priority
7. Tear up all foreign trade pacts which are taking our jobs, especially China & Mexico & Japan
8. Install hugely successful people from private sector for making foreign trade deals
9. Take better care of wounded vets
10. Eliminate/reduce useless federal bureaucracy
Trump is conservative on these issues:
Pro life since at least 2011, wanted to ban partial birth abortion as far back as 2000.
Pro Traditional marriage. “Gay rights is not my thing.”
Pro capital punishment “Capital punishment isn’t uncivilized; murderers living is” Hold Judges accountable
Opposes “Common core is a disaster”
Teach citizenship, quit “dumbing down”.
Anti education unions (2000)
For school choice
“Climate Change is a hoax”
“No Cap-and-Tax”
For drilling our own.
On Environment “Good development enhances the environment”
Stressed the importance of a strong family & culture of life (2015)
Supports Israel
Opposes Iran deal and letting Iran obtain the bomb.
Wants to crush ISIS quickly.
Wants a military so strong no one will challenge us.
Against unbalanced trade deals that kill American jobs.
Against warrantless government surveilance of citizens.
Is against having a high national debt. Warns that $24T is a point of no return.
Againt gun control
For assault weapon ban but says the AR-15 shouldn’t be considered an assault weapon.
Wants to repeal Obamacare and replace it with market-driven polices and increased competition among insurance companies.
Wants to increase military spending.
Will close the border to illegals
Will send the criminals and sponges back.
Will deport all illegals but will let the hard working ones go through the legal process to come back.
Against Anchor babies
Knows unemployment is much higher than official stats.
Will bring jobs back through better trade negotiation.
Attended military academy and Wharton Business School.
Stood up for Birthers and challenged Obama on his fraud.
Believes USA is “the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known”
Wants to honor commitments on Social Security and Medicare, which we can afford to do if he gets the economy going full steam.
Wants to reduce the fraud in disability and other programs.
Against marriage penalties in tax code.
Wants to reduce income taxes and eliminate corporate tax.
Wants to rebuld our infrastructure.
Wants to apply welfare-to-work to 76 other welfare programs (2011)
Doesn’t have time for political correctness.
Not afraid to call out either party or both when they are wrong.
Not a puppet to rich campaign donors.
Your entire list is all FReeper inventions and not from Trump at all. (BTW, thanks for noting just how seriously conservative I am, but you missed my pragmatic side).
Here’s Trump’s only stated and official position:
https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions
That’s it. He holds no other official positions. Why?
Now there are many positions on immigration from Trump that I like. Yet, he sounds like all the white union workers I know in Chicago, both in and out of government. They’re nearly all Democrats and they all like Trump. Coincidence?
You’ll also note that the vast majority of his positions require new or stronger government programs, i.e. bigger government. That’s not moving toward liberty.
My positions and logic on Trump are rock solid... and they called me deranged.
Note also, that Trump has skillfully not listed anything about abortion, the 2nd Amendment, Same Sex Marriage, or... wait for it... the drastic need for smaller government. Aren’t those also critical conservative issues?
It’s a marketing ploy to sell the sizzle, it’s a conservative principle not to buy it.
The steak is a proven conservative winner. Can you find one in the current crop of candidates?
Tough luck on the screen name.... I had high hopes for Scottie.
"entire", "all inventions" "at all". Extremism. Not worth further debate.
