Donald Trump is running riot in the GOP china shop and gleefully tearing the place up.
Consider the strength of Trump’s position: If he wins South Carolina by a big margin, he goes into Nevada with momentum, and the latest poll there has him leading by 26 points and pushing 50 percent. If he enters Super Tuesday a week later having won three out of the past three states — and with Cruz diminished by a South Carolina loss and Rubio having won nowhere — he could easily win, say, 10 contests that day.
It might still be possible to beat Trump at that point if the field is narrowed (states don’t become winner-take-all until March 15), but doing so would involve wrestling to the ground a candidate who will have cut a formidable swath through the first month of the nomination battle.
Even now, it's hard to imagine a happy outcome for the party from the three likeliest scenarios:

Like the guy free falling without a chute saying so far so good. Go to any hospital in Germany and go to the maternity ward and tell us what you see. Smiling happy Teutonic babies all? Curious minds want to know.
Germany will ship them back when their refugee status runs out. Then maybe they will be brought back in like the Trump plan and be voters. LoL!

Taxes:
“By having cut the high income tax rates to 25%...People don’t have the incentive anymore to invest...But the fact is, that 25% for high income people, it should be raised substantially, with the understanding that if you invest, you can get it down substantially below that number...I say leave the middle, leave the lower, LOWER THEM! But people with money have to have the incentive...to invest.”

Yep. Can’t, or won’t discuss, only snark. Don’t read the links. Emotion driven.
Are you threatening me?
By the way, Trump also wanted a “one time” wealth tax of 14.xx percent... Ya, he’s the constitutionalist and conservative... Taxes are never “one time”...
Germany will ship them back when their refugee status runs out.
LoL
They’re not going anywhere.
Well spoken and concur! Is Trump perfect? No. Anyone currently running perfect? Nope.
Remember when Republicans complained about how candidates only fight against other Republicans but never the Democrats and are cowards to the media?
Remember when Republicans said we need a candidate that expands the tent to include moderate Democrats and Independents?
Well, now we have one.
Do I consider Trump a conservative? No. I consider Trump a populist, but more importantly an AMERICAN.
Do I consider myself much more conservative than Trump? Absolutely.
People may ask, “so why not support Cruz?” I do support Cruz as my #2 choice and would crawl over broken glass to vote for him in the general election if he is the nominee.
Trump has a few advantages that put him as my #1 choice:
1. No one has put the illegal immigration and Muslim refugee issues on the front burner like he has. Trump has taken the backlash and stood firm, forcing the rest of the Republican field to move toward his position. If Trump wasn’t in the race, the term “comprehensive immigration reform,” i.e. amnesty, would be spouted ad nauseum by the candidates. Not hearing it so much now.
2. Trump has showed Republicans how to fight against the media and win. The other candidates are now starting to emulate the approach. Regardless of outcome, Trump has provided a valuable service to the Republican party.
3. Trump has very likely caused serious harm to the Clinton and Bush dynasties that will take a long time to mend, if ever. Remember when Hillary started that “war on women” meme with Trump, how he hit back and both Hillary and Bill ran for cover? You think any other Republican candidate could have done that? I don’t think so.
4. The presidency by nature is an executive position. No one in the Republican field can match Trump’s experience in that area. For a change, it might be nice to have a chief executive that has experience signing the front of paychecks rather than just the back.
CIB, thank you for your service!
Part of the refugees come from an area of the Middle East where the Christian Crusaders operated for hundreds of years and have European blood.
The smart thing to do now is evangelize the ones here. Which is something Christians are actually expected to do regardless.
Of course you wouldn't, but keep supporting him and ignoring him while you tell me all about Germany.
Germany has destroyed its future with their moronic immigration policies put into place in the past year.
That fact likely has more bearing on your hearing about Germany, along with your screen name than with Trump.
It does help that his policies on illegals and moose limbs directly contradict, and rightfully so, those of Merkel.
You seem to think you can trust Trump. But fact is if Trump was already President and did not need to stoke hatred with collective guilt to win votes, you would be flooded with refugees "on humanitarian basis" right now.
At least Germany actually needed the population increase.
I'm not sure I've ever seen you not unhinged. It's simply your MO. You should have a screen name of Unhinged Freeper, or as I suggested for your screen name last time: Envious Freeper.
I'm just thankful that I usually get to ignore you.
It has been fun a few times pointing out your insanity, but I don't care to wrestle with pigs in the mud.
Have a nice day, okay?
You're so unhinged it's pathetic. I'm not sure I've ever seen you not unhinged. It's simply your MO. You should have a screen name of Unhinged Freeper, or as I suggested for your screen name last time: Envious Freeper. I'm just thankful that I usually get to ignore you. It has been fun a few times pointing out your insanity, but I don't care to wrestle with pigs in the mud. Have a nice day, okay?OMG you are not normal.
But thanks for proving my point about Trump Trolls and "baseball" with a spectacular meltdown.

You think someone missed the post from just prior?
Yes I am the one who is unhinged and pathetic. Now take your pill(s).
