I'm voting for Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential primary.

Not this time.

Should Bernie Sanders become the nominee, the data is similar: Sanders leads Trump and trails Rubio (although he is running slightly ahead of Cruz). So for either Democratic candidate, Trump proves to be the most favorable -- and desirable -- matchup.
Moreover, should Donald Trump earn his party's nomination, some GOP strategists fear that some Republican voters would be so disenchanted with (or appalled by) Trump that they might not vote in the election at all, leading to down-ticket victories for the Democrats by attrition. This theory is supported by veteran Republican political pundit Karl Rove, in an editorial he penned for last week's Wall Street Journal:
If Mr. Trump is its standard-bearer, the GOP will lose the White House and the Senate, and its majority in the House will fall dramatically. If the nominee is Ted Cruz, the situation is still dicey. Any of the other major candidates, if nominated, will best Mrs. Clinton in a close race and help the GOP narrowly keep the Senate.

I disagree with Donald Trump ideologically in virtually every respect. I believe that his policies and proposals would ruin the strength and integrity of our great nation, undermine the fundamental tenets of our democracy, and make us the laughing stock of the international community (except, perhaps, for Vladimir Putin). But no matter what you think of him, one thing's for certain: Donald Trump is a polarizing figure who is not just divisive across liberal and conservative lines, but within the Republican Party itself.
Which is exactly why, on March 1, I'm voting for Donald Trump.

Since when did being in your 50’s equal your youth.
I’d vote for another Bush over the commie or felon.
Hey, moron, all that I said was “Be careful what you wish for.” - which was (as I indicated in my prior post to you) aimed at the liberal author of the subject article of this thread, NOT toward any of us FReepers. Anyway, it is a pretty innocuous statement...so why are your panties in such a wad?
Maybe you should actually check which post you are responding to before attacking someone?
No, that's not all you said, scum.
Grow up.
“No, that’s not all you said, scum.”
“Be careful what you wish for, Leftist scum.”
HOWEVER, in Post #37 I made it ABUNDANTLY CLEAR that I wasn’t addressing any FReeper, but that I was addressing the (Leftist) guy who wrote the subject article. Your response to that SHOULD HAVE BEEN something like: “OK, sorry I misunderstood you.”
FOR THE RECORD, here is the entirety of my Post # 37:
First, I wasnât addressing you.
Second, I WAS addressing the author of this piece, not anyone posting here.
Third, what is not âgrown upâ about warning someone to be careful what they wish for? The obvious conclusion to that warning is âbecause you may get it.â The Leftists may very well regret supporting Trump, because thereâs quite a distinct possibility that he may win. You may disagree with that conclusion, but I find no logic of any kind in your statement.”
Grow up.
I’d say that you are the one who needs to grow up. I’ve thoroughly explained my position, such that anyone over the age of about 5 would understand that you made a simple mistake. I would have, and still will, forgive anyone (including you) for that. But you seem intent on acting like I’m the child here, with your relentless “grow up” posts. Guess what, maybe you ought to address it to the guy you look at in the mirror every day.
Be gone. Have a good life, but be gone from mine.
Grow up, scum.
