>>>Are Greek columns next?<<<
If so, his won’t be made out of Styrofoam.
Fairly said. As will I support Trump if we are stuck with him.
I just have no idea what Trump really believes or will do.
And that scares me.
That’s usually the case when one can’t express or reveal his true principles. He may understand the First and Second Amendment. I can assure you he doesn’t understand the Tenth.
11) Cruz hoodwinked would be Ben Carson caucus goers possibly gaining thousands of votes by saying Carson left or suspended his campaign from the presidential race.
He won one less delegate than the winner
The list overlooks the biggest reason a majority of Iowans didn’t vote for Trump: Iowans simply chose to extend their 16 year record of failing to vote for the eventual Republican Presidential nominee. S’no biggie.
I was going to finish the quote, but your slightly modified version was much better. (You did forget the maniacal laugh at the end, though.)
I couldn’t remember which Iron Maiden song that was from, so I did a search (The Prisoner). I wasn’t familiar with the old TV show the song was based on until it came up in the search.
WHY THE FATE OF THE REPUBLIC depends on Bernie Sanders.
Let me explain. Look at the potential general election matchups as will be seen and understood by undecided persuadable voters.
Rubio/Clinton>
R= young, inexperienced, nice, rino (vs) Cl= media favorite, old, experienced, grandma, mean. Rubio’s problem, how do you fight a grandma? The Matchup= Young kid vs grandma. Winner grandma in the first round.
Cruz/Clinton>
Cr= smart, lawyerly verbiage, gentleman (vs) Cl= media favorite, old, experienced, grandma, mean. The Matchup = Smartass lawyer vs grandma. Winner grandma by unanimous decision.
Trump/Clinton>
T= grandpa, old, high negatives polling, take no prisoner fighter (vs) Cl= media favorite, grandma, old, experienced, high negatives in polling, mean. The Matchup= Badass vs badass. Winner grandma in a split decision.
Rubio and Cruz have no chance by visuals alone. Trump an outside chance.
All three would beat Bernie.
Conclusion: Vote Bernie in primary. I’m serious.
Sarah Palin’s endorsement hurt him?
kind of grasping at straws
It sure seemed to mean a lot to Trump.
In my opinion, Sarah Palin has shown that her and her family are a normal American family...Things happen in every family...
Those circles that consider her scornfully because of what has happened with her kids aren’t worth worrying about...
Again, my opinion...
That’s funny because you folks were pointing out that it was all about ground game and not the polls.
Now you’re attempting to flip that premise in favor of the polls being the key factor, so you can ding Trump.
As I said, it’s very hard to gauge what a caucus result will be ahead of time. It’s fluid right up until the ballots are cast.
Was it reasoned to think Trump might better than we had thought? Sure. I had pretty much conceded that Iowa was out of reach based on his comments.
Then the polls seemed to swing, so sure I thought he might have more of a chance. Wouldn’t anyone’s supporter feel that way.
But those people vote.
If anyone running in the GOP primary is like Obama, it's Cruz, but instead of sytrofoam columns, Ted makes believe that he is in a religious revival tent....a la Aimee Semple McPherson!
Bingo...! Most Trump supporters are from the left. Most are low information Kardashian voters.
Trump is not to be trusted. he has changed his position on everything and he is working for the Dems
Id be happy with either Cruz or Trump but now my primary vote goes to Cruz. Trump cant keep his big mouth shut.
Good points. Palin needs to look after her trashy family.
You are right I have never been to a Trump rally. I don’t think I would learn much if I did go.
My main concern is that I want a president who will appoint real conservative judges to the Supreme Court. That is crucial to this country’s future. Trump hasn’t shown me that he knows what such an animal looks like.
How could he if he isn’t a conservative himself ?
I just thought it was curious that I have never seen any TV footage of Trump actually going OUT to cafes, factories, etc. to press the flesh. He is a businessman after all. Wouldn’t hurt to accentuate that.

Trump at the Manchester NH Police Dept. yesterday pressing the flesh.
I would like to see him do more of this also.
He seems quite at ease with regular folks.
If I’m taking flack from a hack I must be over target.
