These new Trump poll numbers should absolutely terrify Republicans [correction: GOPe Pubs]
Washington Post ^ | 2/29/2016 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 02/29/2016 8:52:34 AM PST by catnipman

If Republicans are going to have any hope of stopping the runaway train otherwise known as Donald Trump, it may rest on their ability to limit the breadth of his appeal. A single alternative to Trump — most likely Marco Rubio — could conceivably coalesce enough support among well educated, relatively affluent, more moderate Republicans

Make sure JR posts that policy that there is to be absolutely no questioning or negative comments about Trump on the Main tomorrow.

No seriously. Let’s see how tough you and the rabid Trump mob is here.

If indeed you know that JR and the mod staff is going to impose a policy that there is to be no dissent or questioning of Trump, his plans, policies or hair on Free Republic because he is King Inevitable, have them post that policy on the Main so we do not miss the announcement and we make sure we abide by the new rules and take our leave of a former Conservative site.

However, I do not believe FR is a former Conservative site that traded Conservative principles for Trump as king and political savior, this is just a tactic you rabid Trumpians are engaging in on a lot of forums lately, so I am going to call BOGUS on your false claim that there is going to be a new policy that forbids argument and debate about Trump starting tomorrow.

But if I am wrong, and indeed “it all changes tomorrow” as you posted - make sure you have them post the policy on the main for everyone’s benefit.

Yup
If TC gets his butt kicked tomorrow, his followers will probably find a lot less sympathy here for TDS at Free Republic.
My belief is that most of the Ted Cruz supporters now we’re never really Ted Cruz supporters to begin with. They were and are anti Trump because at heart they support the GOP.

Perhaps some of them are even paid supporters of GOP.

Tell you what, give JR or the mods a ring, and beg for my zotting because I dared to post what I did on this thread that disses your political savior and the zealotry you folks are exhibiting.

Remember, you can hope for change, but you will never get change by just having personal hopes.

hello Friend!

I agree! Early on I presented this video knowing in my heart that Trump was going to be a mover and a shaker. I also put it on the themesong thread for Trump.

I’m sure it makes even more sense now. As a disclaimer, the end of the video the revolution begins. It’s the SENTIMENT of the song that I think is appropriate for the way people are feeling right now. Not violence..

The sentiment that I hear is that the people are willing to stand up, enmasse, and say...enough is enough!

Hi PL2! Long time no hear.

I think this people are only willing to stand up to cast a ballot. I do not think they are willing to do what it will actually take to stop an entrenched tyranny, but they WILL want a king to do things they demand because the Constitution limits the ability to do what most of them think Trump is going to accomplish by decree.

Cruz or death people are arguably the snobbiest most know it all arrogant political crybaby jerks ever to come down the political pike

That Patrick guy on Rush right now at 1220pm exemplifies the worst of it

This entire election circus has proven to me beyond any shadow of doubt that freedom and the Constitution are as good as dead in this country.

This nation is hopelessly divided between more than half a population that want a Marxist dictatorship and the rest who want a populist king that they loft all their hopes for change upon.

Separation of powers? Screw it. We want a king who will build walls by the power of his charisma or give us free shite while punishing anyone who dares oppose them.

Such a people and such a country are not capable of maintaining liberty in any capacity beyond a strong leader they think will do their bidding to impart revenge on the half of the population they hate.

This people want a dictatorship or a monarchy, not a Representative Republic that we already lost in a velvet coup 8 years ago.

And they shall have it.

Oh really? History speaks sir, if you ever care to listen.

We are way down the path to everything I said.

I'm not alone in noticing the lessons of history either. Men far more intelligent than I (notwithstanding the Founders in whom I read often) have made similar warnings and comments:

Metaphorical temporarily.

With the Multi-Trillion Dollar Gravy Train at stake, you can bet the GOP-e and their Democrat comrades are more than willing to slaughter a couple hundred million US citizen peons.

The US citizen peons had better start developing their own willingness to survive.

Hey dingbat -- congress voted for the wall to be built years ago.

They already took our money to pay for it.

We just didn't have a leader with the "charisma to build it".

Hey moron…

...according to you, CHARISMA is all that is needed to achieve the agenda you are certain Trump is going to accomplish?????

And people wonder how I have the gall to suggest you people want a king and a dictator.

Exactly WHAT HAPPENED to all the money Congress appropriated in 2006 for that wall that they never built? WHY was it never built? HOW is your desired emperor going to recover those funds already appropriated and HOW does he plan to get Congress to do something they have REFUSED to do because their core purpose is to replace the existing GOP base with Mexicans/South Americans???

I’ll clue you in…. THERE IS NO ANSWER to any of the above, because your hero Trump has not GIVEN ANY DETAILS on how he plans to accomplish any of that.

Instead all I read from Trumpians is what THEY THINK he should or will do.

I know, I know - Trump will say to me he will now make the wall a thousand feet higher, with no specifics on how that is going to happen. But all of you believe he will simply because he said so.

Ahhhh, the power of Charisma. I recall quite a few leaders in history with ‘charisma’ who promised to make their nations ‘great’ again too.

Absolutely the truest words written in this entire thread.

The executive branch (the president) is responsible for the execution of the nation's laws. Failure to do so is a dereliction of duty. Doing so does not make a president a tyrant or dictator.

Obama is both a derelict and a tyrant. He refuses to enforce real laws, and fabricates his own laws out of thin air.

Few people expect Trump to be anything more than human, with whatever shortcomings that entails. Here is what makes him different from every other candidate of either party:

Trump is the only candidate of either party even pretending to represent the citizens of the USA.

Every other candidate is fully bought and paid for by the corrupt donor self-anointed elite scumbags.
