Meanwhile, Rubio's strength makes him the likely standard-bearer of center-right Republicans and their deep-pocketed backers and can only increase the pressure for Jeb Bush to bow out of the race - freeing resources for the Florida senator and cleaning up a cluttered field before the real action begins.

Done.

Now we will see if Rush is right: If a real conservative runs he will win.

Is there any proof Trump wants to be president?

Well, some folks are beginning to doubt that the Pope is Catholic, but we still have “Does a bear defecate in the woods?”

You seem to enjoy posting stupid trash type articles. Trump did damn well considering he has no Super PAC’s like Cruz and Rubio.

Politico, the mouthpiece of the GOP establishment, is delusional.

They’ve belittled Trump for months and underestimated him.

Rubio is a weak reed for them to hang their hope of halting the Trump juggernaut.

Facing reality isn’t their strong suit.

I thought about the bear-woods but....

: )

The Pope is a socialist and Trump is a promoter and benefactor of the "prosperity gospel" church.

Trump's Evangelical connection:

Megachurch Pastor Paula White [recently/currently Mrs. Journey Rocker Jonathan Cain]

August 30, 2015: Trump Hosts Televangelists Who Fleece Their Flocks

..."Paula White, who hosts a TV show called Paula White Today on The Word Network and pastors New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida… took the helm at that church after its former shepherd died of a heroin and cocaine overdose.

Trump and White have been friends for years, which makes sense because they have a lot in common. In addition to having their own popular TV shows, they're on their third marriage-Trump's to former model Melania Trump, and White's to the keyboardist for Journey.

Trump has been a guest on her programming numerous times, and they seem to be big fans of each other. He's called her "a beautiful person, both inside and out," and recommended that viewers read her book You're All That: Understanding God's Design For Your Life so they would "be ready for great success." White has compared him to "a diamond that reveals a new facet each time it is turned in the light," ..

White, like Trump, is also a big fan of cash. She's typically characterized as a proponent of the prosperity gospel-a theologically suspect approach to Christianity whereby pastors (often before huge congregations or on TV broadcasts) tell listeners that God wants them to become very wealthy, and that if they just give "a seed" to said pastors' ministries, they'll reap great financial returns and be #blessed. White's e-store features a sermon called "Why God Wants You Wealthy." Of course, Donald Trump wants people to be rich as well, which is why White once offered her viewers-for a ministry contribution of $25-a copy of Trump's book Why We Want You to Be Rich. Everyone wants you to be rich! Praise the Lord!

White's website has....interesting deals. One (your correspondent's personal favorite) is called the "2015 Atonement Package."...

Lol

The Trump haters are crawling back slowly

Hysterical

Tell me

Will you support Rubio against Trump?

Trust me....the money and FOX is gonna turn on some Rubio love

Ted took an arrow tonight between the shoulder blades

Despite the usual rancor for Freepers

The run of the mill Cruz supporter will in the end support Trump over Rubio

And if Ted should go insane and endorse Rubio....they will not follow him

Why?

Immigration

Good luck with all that

His amnesty stand hurts him.

If he wasn’t an Open Borders candidate, he could be formidable.

Saying you want millions of illegals to be given a path to citizenship isn’t a ticket to the White House.

Yep

Rubio killed his career with GO8

But with so much GOPe on their knees around him he doesn’t realize it yet

So, now Donald Trump has 67 of the 103 delegates awarded in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina. Cruz still has 11 and Rubio still has 10. So Trump now has 65% of the delegates, after taking all delegates in a state that is only “winner-take-all” if you win every Congressional district.

The really scary thing is that if Donald Trump can find a court that interprets “natural-born citizen” to be “born of two parents, both who were citizens when you were born”, he eliminates both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio!

Well, the Nevada Republican caucus is only 3 days away, so we won’t have long to find out if America is going to continue to pick the not-real conservative.
