Trump is no Romney. He is running an unsubtle, racist campaign that has particularly targeted Latinos. His chances of winning swing states with significant Latino populations -- Florida, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico -- are extremely low.
But he doesn't need them to win. All he has to do is carry the Rust Belt -- a region perfectly attuned to Trump's fiery denunciations of American trade policy and his angry condemnation of Washington corruption. While Romney hailed free trade, globalization and "creative destruction," Trump rails against the North American Free Trade Agreement and promises to bring jobs back home.

Donald Trump: Just Another Fascist With An Enemies List
February 22, 2016
Fascists and tyrants always have enemies lists. Barack Obama, who has exceeded the constitutional scope of his powers, has used the IRS as a weapon against conservatives.
Donald Trump, the man who called Bill Clinton before running for President and who has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrat causes, is just another Obama waiting to happen. He made that clear today by declaring Joe Ricketts, the owner of the Cubs, to be on his enemies list for funding Republicans against Trump.
It can’t be any wonder that so many people with swastikas in their Twitter profile pics back Donald Trump. It takes one to know one.
You put Donald Trump in charge of the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, etc. you’re just going to wind up with a more vicious version of Barack Obama. He will not be Republican, but for the highest bidder, which is always himself.

Vera Coking walks past Donald Trump, obscured against wall at left, in a courtroom hallway
at Atlantic County Superior Court on Feb. 13, 1997.
... Trump wanted Coking's house - - not to live in, but as a place to park limousines for his casino next door.
"It is a classic case of a schoolyard bully growing up," said Clint Bolick, who co-founded the legal institute that defended Coking in a 1990s lawsuit with Trump ... "He's a thug."
Coking and her husband bought the white, three-story house at 127 Columbia Pl. in 1961, long before the area was transformed by mega-casinos.
She raised her children there.
For a time, she operated it as a boarding house.
... Coking, who is now more than 90 years old and was not available to be interviewed, was having none of it.
This was her "dream house," said Dana Berliner ...
Coking held firm, even as the 22-story Trump Plaza soared outside her windows with its ever-flashing lights.
The house was deteriorating, but Coking's will wasn't.
Demolition crews had set fire to her roof, broken windows and smashed up much of the third floor, according to her attorneys.
Still, she didn't move.
... Trump, Coking and the casino authority pounded away at one another in court.
Then, one day in the summer of 1998, the Superior Court of New Jersey put an end to the conflict.
The court ruled that the casino authority and Trump were wrong.
The government couldn't take Coking's house and let Trump have it.
And you support that P.O.S. Trump ?
HOW VILE CAN YOU GET ! ? !

It would definitely be a marriage of convenience, just like Reagan Bush.
However, Reagan had an awful exit strategy by leaving things with Bush in ‘92. Reagan should’ve dumped Bush in ‘88 for someone more conservative and solid. Yeah, it’s all in retrospect.
So to not repeat history, if Trump goes with Kasich in 2016 just to get those dominoes falling starting in Ohio on election day, hopefully Trump will dump Kasich in 2020 for someone more conservative, after he has already set the country back on solid ground, and he doesn’t need to play such electoral college shenanigans to win again for one more term.

I know.
It would be nice if those DUPED Trumpeters would
WAKE UP ! They should be MORE CONCERNED ABOUT
EXPLAINING WHY Trump's Companies ARE Using ILLEGALS !
Look at these links:
Donald Trump tells immigrant advocates "You've convinced me"
...Trump told the trio "You've convinced me."
The meeting comes several weeks after Trump - one of the nation's most prominent conservative voices - delivered a key note address on immigration reform in Iowa
and warned that that the Senate's current immigration bill "could be a death wish" for Republicans, who "need to 'do the right thing' ."
Trump: U.S. should accept some Syrian refugees
Donald Trump thinks the United States should accept some refugees from Syria due to the "unbelievable humanitarian problem." ...
Trump ... said Tuesday evening that though the migrants could pose a security risk -- floating the idea that there may be individuals with ties to Islamic militants --
he supported allowing them into America. ...

Congress must protect our borders first.
Amnesty should be done only if the border is secure and illegal immigration has stopped.

Message to the GOP: Trump supports amnesty
... On the Kelly File Thursday, Trump's son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this: The point isn't just deporting them, it's deporting them and letting them back in legally.
He's been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it,
but its deporting them and letting them back legally.
Eric Trump is right.
His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.
Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing.
In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way: I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal ...
A lot of these people are helping us ... and sometimes it's jobs a citizen of the United States doesn't want to do.
I want to move 'em out, and we're going to move 'em back in and let them be legal.
Donald Trump's companies sought visas to import at least 1,100 workers
... Trump owns companies that have sought to import at least 1,100 foreign workers on temporary visas since 2000,
according to U.S. Department of Labor data reviewed by Reuters.
Most of the applications were approved, the data show.
Nine companies majority-owned by Trump have sought to bring in foreign waitresses, cooks, vineyard workers and other laborers on temporary work-visa programs administered by the Labor Department.
The candidate's foreign talent hunt included applications for an assistant golf-course superintendent, an assistant hotel manager and a banquet manager.
Two of his companies, Trump Model Management and Trump Management Group LLC, have sought visas for nearly 250 foreign fashion models, the records show.
Trump's presidential campaign and a lawyer for the businessman declined to comment.
The Mar-a-Lago Club could not be reached for comment.

No one took Vera’s house, but her heir’s ultimately sold it for 1/3 of what she was offered.

How could Reagan dump Bush in 1988? Reagan wasn’t running. Bush was running for re-election in 1992.

The Democrats will use Trumpâs record against him: youâll gave a television ad of Donald Trump telling CNN that the economy does better under Democrats, Donald Trump praising Barack Obama for passing his Trillion dollar stimulus package, and his 2008 endorsement proclaiming he knows Hillary Clinton and sheâd make a âgreat President,â and finally Donald Trumpâs praise of socialized healthcare to seal the deal. How are Republicans going to even effectively counter Trumpâs record? No replies.

Donald
"EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" Trump still TRIED VERY HARD and AT a LARGE COST to UNCONSTITUTIONALLY TAKE someone else's HOME for his OWN PERSONAL GAIN !
HOW DISGUSTING CAN YOU GET ! ? ? ?
Donald Trump view of
"EMINENT DOMAIN FOR PRIVATE USE" IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL !Read
the history of "Eminent Domain" for yourself.
Donald Trump didn't have the power to take it, as a private citizen.
BUT ...
the Government taking someone's property and giving to Donald Trump's company, DID GO AGAINST THE CONSTITUTION, pure and simple ! If the government take someone property, just to give it to another private company, because they think they can get a larger tax income from the deal,
then it IS WRONG AND ILLEGAL as the LAW was ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO BE !
It's UNCONSTITUTIONAL !
So ... the guilty SHOULD BE BLAMED !
Once again, this is Donald Trump's vision of private property rights when he was just another private citizen.
So, AGAIN I SAY ....Imagine how much more damage he could do as the leader of the Federal executive branch.

Just like they used Reagan signing a Law while Governor of California to legalize Abortion or blaming Bush 41 for agreeing with Reagan signing a Bill giving Amnesty to 3 Million Illegal Invaders?
That kind of stuff?
Trumps opposition to the Iraq War gets him support from both Parties, so that won’t work either. Remember, Hillary Voted for the War twice.
Trump is currently my second choice behind Cruz, but even Trump’s Republican Competitors aren’t getting any traction attacking him with your arguments in Republican Primary States.
Who would the Democrats be targeting, other Democrats? That would garner Trump even more Voters from all across the Political spectrum. Good try though.
Just my $.02, your Mileage may vary.

Donald's Choice
Published on Feb 17, 2016
Justice Scalia's death reminds us the next President will pick as many as four Supreme Court Justices and hundreds of other federal judges.
Just who would Donald Trump pick?One person Trump suggested took Roy Moore off the Alabama Supreme Court for displaying the Ten Commandments.
Another forced Indiana to fund Planned Parenthood.
And one more who threw out New Jersey's Partial Birth Abortion Ban.
Everything is on the line now:Our rights. Our freedoms. Our America.
And the courts are the battleground.
So who do you trust?
Who do you trust to fill our federal courts?Donald Trump with his New York values?
Or Ted Cruz, who won cases before the Supreme Court protecting gun rights, religious freedom and against the World Court. ...
Don't blow it.
Ted Cruz.
For President.
Let's take our country back.
Now.
Before It's Too Late.
