Trump ‘Very Close to One of the Most Astonishing Political Victories in American History’
Breitbart ^ | February 13,2014 | Conrad Black

Posted on 02/13/2016 1:55:27 PM PST by Hojczyk

If his opponents in the Republican party want any chance of stopping him, they will have to coalesce around one of the alternatives right after South Carolina, and that candidate will be an underdog. Mr. Trump should win the nomination, and Mr. Clinton should limp to a listless and cliched victory at the head of her fatigued party.

Mr. Trump still faces a high but porous wall of anyone-but-Trump sentiment, slightly more numerous than the anyone-but-Clinton bloc. He should move soon to dissolve this antagonism by speaking more seriously and precisely, and in finished sentences, and showing that he is, in all but his presentational flamboyance, a moderate.

Shame on the New York Daily News for referring to his followers as the brain dead and on the Huffington Post for its scurrilous attack on him as a racist, sexist demagogue. He is none of that and his followers are too numerous and righteously angry at those who have failed the nation to be so disparaged, especially by such lowbrow outlets.

Now is Donald Trumps chance to defeat and humiliate that sentiment by behaving with exemplary dignity, modesty, and precision, as he has waxed the floor with the elders of the Republican party and stolen much of the old Roosevelt-Truman-Kennedy coalition among working and middle-class Democrats.

“Cruzbots work as anti- disciples for their candidate. The more I see of you folk, the more I dislike Cruz.”

I agree. The obnoxiousness of the Cruz-Trolls is seriously rubbing off on Cruz, primarily because it’s pretty obvious that most of them are being paid by the Cruz Dirty Tricks Department. Almost none of them promote the putative virtues of their own candidate, but spend about 99.9% of the their time posting garbage attacking Trump.

Yup, Ted Cruz is not a conservative, he is a bona fide Machiavellian...the Ends Justify the Means....Maybe he is more Nixonian than Machiavellian. That and part Marjoe Gortner.

Trump should at the debate tonight ask Cruz point blank if he actually bulldozed a woman’s house in NJ...when Cruz can’t answer just face the home audience and tell American that Ted Cruz and his campaign are liars and sleaze, that his campaign manager may have caused the suicide of a candidate do to sleazy ads and that moreover, Ted Cruz matriculated with Co-Eds when he went to University.

Hate to say it, but we’re at war with the libs, GOPe, and globalists. Only one candidate has stepped forward to show he has the guts to ‘go to the mat’ for the American people, that’s Donald Trump.

My position exactly. My picks are 1.) Cruz and 2.) Trump and nobody else.

Just try to get a FRumpster to say the opposite.

They won't!! ...even when the likely-hood is it's gonna be Trump

Their hate is visceral.

Acting presidential by Trump is impossible, complete sentences also impossible. But if you want him to call someone a looser or deride an opponent or call someone a pussy, He’s you man! Maybe Obama should nominate Trumps Sister to the court, right up Trumps alley and Obama’s!

And the more I see of the Trump version of Obama voters, the more I dislike Trump.

People who say “Go away Trump” are really saying they want Hillary to be the next President.

Get a grip folks, he’s the only one that can beat her.

AND HE WILL.

I would prefer any GOP candidate, Cruz, Rubio, Bus, Kasich, Carson, etc. over her, but the Clinton Machine would defeat any of them, except Trump.

It’s time for the voters, Democrat and Reublican, to realize that. I believe Trump will bring the “I hate Hillary” Democrats over to our side.

So true. But so many Republicans are so desperate for a strong presidential candidate that they are willing to overlook all faults because their guy is talking such a strong game.

That’s because Trump is a strong person and will be a strong President. There is a reason he is leading all the polls.

‘As with FDR’s promise of a New Deal in 1932, the great Reagan campaign of 1980 proclaimed: “The time is now for strong leadership.”...Never has that office sought such a man, and in a democracy, the people are always right.’

50/50 on that one in my opinion.

Yeah but even people like Hitler and Stalin were strong people. Not saying that Trump is like them, but just being a strong person is not a reason to vote for someone.

Look I think you are about a month late with that kind of silly discussion. Most serious GOP voters have decided Trump is the right person for this dangerous time in our country. They are as evidenced by the recent polls coalescing around Trump and he is going to be the next GOP nominee and likely next President of the USA so we should probably knock off the silly is he a Nazi type insinuations.

LOL you didn’t read my comment. You are ready to surge around anyone who appears to be strong without checking out their background because where they stand doesn’t matter half so much as the fact that they are “strong”.
