Trump is being the maverick that McCain pretended to be.

They tell him to go to hell and he says the same thing back at them.

I wish Trump was more conservative but he has the personality that this country needs. I am sure he is going to do something that makes my choke, but he is going to do something and not just occupy space.

And "sore loser" ballot laws would prevent him from even appearing on the ballot in Ohio and Michigan if he runs in the primaries there — which, of course, would make it quite difficult for him to win the presidency.

Not at all. He gets "Diamond and Silk" on the ballot (Pres and VP) in those states. Their electors switch to Trump.

And probably destroy the GOP as a viable party.

The "GOPe/Democrat Uniparty" is doing a great job on their own. Push Trump to a third party and Hillary is elected. (Maybe that's the Uniparty's plan)

This election has turned into a fight. The GOP is not letting go of their power.... it’s not theirs to have.. it’s the PEOPLE’s power. They forgot who sent them to Washington. The founding fathers made one mistake... TERM LIMITS for congress. We should get that on the ballot just like we are getting Trump on the ballot... over their objections!
I don’t believe Trump got in this to get Hillary elected. I think he cares for the country. I do believe he’s half way enjoying this fight...and I do believe, in his gut, he aims to win.. I don’t think he lives any other way but to make good deals and win however he can. He hasn’t walked away from anything... he defies their threats.. he casts off their insults... he seems to love the people who support him... I think all this is who Trump is... and we need someone who will end this juggernaut in Washington.. he seems to be doing something right to have the GOP and the media so angry. They are our target also.

The two of them would be political Machiavellian geniuses.

Trump does what brings him the "best deal." I'm interested in knowing the gist of that phonecon he had with Bill Clinton a few days prior to announcing his candidacy.

Regardless, Trump would be doing us a long-term favor by once and for all tossing the GOP onto the ash heap of history. They’d finish third and they’d be toast.

I agree plus who among us would put our life on the line each day to try and SAVE this divided and damaged country?

This is to say nothing of the risk his extended family must now endure every day. Perhaps for the rest of their lives.

The GOP has been happy campers with obama as President. I think they’d be happy campers if hillary won. They just want their lives to stay the same... have their power and the people be damned. If Trump won, their apple cart would be turned upside down.. yea, they’d be okay with hillary.

Yes, I’d go Trump over some GOP-E doofus. In a bloomin’ heartbeat.

And I’d savor the vote. Been backstabbed by the GOP for too long. Only a few reasons I had left to vote GOP, and they either caved, capitulated, or joined with the left. To stop amnesty, stop Obamacare, stop homo-marriage. The GOP choked on all three. I no longer have any reason to ever support the Republican Party again.

Doesn’t even mean I’m all that invested in Trump. I just want to stomp on the skulls of the GOP. There’s no longer even a country left for me to care about preserving, so all that part of politics is moot to me. I just want the people who destroyed my country and turned it into this sick, depraved, faggoty third-world sewer to suffer and die.

He would leave if shenanigans take place at the Convention, which seems more and more like a possible scenario the more desperate the RINOs get.

Imagine if he trounces the others in primary after primary, yet on the floor the others get their delegates to pool around a common alternative, say Cruz or Rubio? It’d be a bloodbath.

You are 100% correct!!! If Donald Trump runs as an idependent he will win with a landslide victory...and in the process destroy both the GOP & Democrat Parties as they stand today!!! Both the GOP (e) & Democrat Parties led by American traitor, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama have done nothing meaningful or measurable to protect, defend and keep the American nation and people safe from harm’s way!!! Take note of the hundreds of thousands of guns being purchased by average American citizens, these past few weks. That identifies a total failure of government (the politicians) to protect the people!!! GO DONALD TRUMP!!!

Donald Trump Rally, Thursday, evening, 12/10/2015, 7:45 PM, Sheraton Portsmouth Harborside Hotel, Convention Center, Portsmouth, New Hampshire - attend or, watch on live stream, CSpan or possible some Cable News Channels!!! Support Donald Trump!!!

Great point...and so true. I pray for his and his family’s safety. Can’t believe how much our country has truly fallen.

My concern is if someone, like Cruz, actually beats him in the primaries he’ll claim he was “cheated” since he lead in all of these polls. Then he goes 3rd party and the legit nominee loses. I still think most of the polls are “name recognition” numbers and not people that are actually voting.

Agreed but we will see if that was the plan. Like McCain helping obama win
