....GOP-e chorus,...

You and the other posters have worn out this meme in a last ditch effort to excuse Trump.

I have always been a conservative, never voted democrat, even held back from voting for some rinos. I was a teenager in the sixties.

The problem I have with Trump, I find his personality repulisive. His recent conversion to the right is a good thing, time will tell. Cruz is the best qualified at this time.

According to what libs say about Trump, he’s worse than Hitler. Worse than any Muslim terrorist. Maybe even as bad as Ronald Reagan. He committed the ultimate crime and therefore should pay the ultimate price.

Listening to a non-stop braggart gets old fast. If he’s so smart, why was he wrong about everything until just a few years ago?

Yes, well the Left “hated” Hillary too and now she’s their Joan of Arc with a big bank account and the Democratic Party presidential nomination in her pocket.

Well you know what they say? A Conservative is a Liberal who has been mugged.

The world has changed drastically in the past few yrs and Trump has been “mugged” and so has evolved. Personally I know some in my own family who have similarly changed their positions politically.

It’s really simple. Trump or Cruz, Cruz or Trump. The idea is to vote and be not to cry like a baby and stay home if your particular number one choice fails to get the nomination

Trump dings Scalia for affirmative action comments

"......"I heard him; I was like, 'let me read it again... Woah,'" Trump said.

"I have great African-American friendships," Trump said. "I was very surprised at Scalia's statements, actually."

The panel following Tapper's interview on CNN's "State of the Union" seemed stunned by Trump's remarks.

CNN reporter Dana Bash, who will be moderating Tuesday's debate, asked, "For a Republican, for a conservative, to criticize Scalia is anathema, right?"

Trump started out as a "D," then was an "R," then went "Reform," then was a "D," then was a "R," then was an "I," - currently a "R."

I don't see a mugging victim, I see a self-promoting opportunist.

It is anathema to bash Scalia, especially by taking a question and turning it into a statement. Trump is not educated enough about the SCOTUS process to understand what was happening.

Hope Cincinatus has run for the hills by now. Your anti-Trump insanity is ruining the site.

Trump saw an opportunity to pander and he took it.

Just for you:

Losing Iowa Could Be Trump's Kryptonite

"Donald Trump is all about winning. "If we win Iowa, we run the table," he told a Des Moines rally on Friday. "It will be over quickly; we win virtually every state in the union." But how will he handle defeat if the Superman of the Polls suddenly starts losing?

Now there are three respected polls (Monmouth, Des Moines Register, and Fox) that show Trump losing to a surging Ted Cruz in Iowa. Trump could certainly surge back in the next 50 days, but right now, Cruz is on track to win. He is relentlessly using social media data to build what he calls "very much the Obama model - a data-driven, grassroots-driven campaign." And, he says, "it is a reason our campaign is steadily gathering strength." Trump is relying on rallies and the endless free TV coverage the media provide him......."

Cincinatus is an asset to this site in the eyes of those not scared of the truth.

There will be a point where JR picks a side and a purge will happen. We’ll see which side survives.

There you go, you nailed it. And the past use of emminant domain for private property aquisition is, well, despicable.

Or not. I cannot see him booting Cruz supporters whether he switches to Trump or not. He isn’t stupid.

"......Among people who have done business with Trump are many who feel they have been abused by him. Tama Starr, president of the sign-design company Artkraft Strauss (which lowered the Times Square silver ball that marked New Year's Eve for decades), has written about what she calls "the ugly art of Trump's deals." She and others have told me that it's common for Trump to pay 80 percent of a project, withhold the remainder of what is owed by claiming dissatisfaction with the work, and then force creditors to either give up on payment or engage in expensive litigation that might cost more than the money owed.

Donald Trump's big talk, braggadocio, and boldness have carried him far. But "gravity" - the wearing off of his freshness, the cumulative weight of his excesses, and voters taking a closer look at him before they actually cast a ballot - might well bring Trump down to earth, as Cruz recently suggested in a speech to a group of donors. Even Superman became weak and vulnerable when exposed to kryptonite, and in Trump's case, the equivalent could be exposure to a political environment in which his 91 percent name ID is "trumped" by voters' decision to finally compare him with other lesser-known candidates."
