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

Apparently the Trump School if Public Decorum has exceedingly high standards for polite discorse.

Yet, you do not mind Trumps Blackmail of the Rickett family, or of a nobody who advised his clients not to buy Trump Junk Bonds.

Extorsion is the new “Winning”, and winners win!

It's not or, it's and. No one but Trump can beat Hillary. With Hillary the Constitution is dead. Trump is the only man who can stop her and save it.

Max, where has he demonstrated any kind of knowledge or allegience to the Constitution?

As for Hillary, even Cruz beats her. Now, as for Trump..how is he different than her in regards to policy?

Unlike the “loan” that Cruz gave himself from his “life savings”

Even IF that were to prove true, how is he any different than Cruz?
There’s a very long list that keeps being posted of just some of his lies, failures and sliminess.

Trump is a wealthy American patriot spending his own money and using his skill at playing the media to take on the globalist traitors.

As Levin just asked on his show - if the Senate filibusters Trump's wall (notwithstanding the billions of funds already appropriated by Congress in 2006 for a wall that was never built) what does Trump plan to do about that?

Maybe Trump has a pen and phone too?

I have already deduced that many of Trump's adoring mobs are fine with Trump as dictator.

Rubio is part of the ‘Gang of Eight’. None of us would EVER vote for him. Is the GOPe nuts?

Excellent post, Jay.
I was beginning to think I was completely alone here in supporting Donald.

That is the rub, weve just discovered 1/3 of the “conservative” vote wants to be ruled just as much as Obmaunists.

Nothing new under the sun. A good chunk of Trump’s adoring fans are True Believers. Nothing he says, does or has supported will matter.

A people who have abandoned their foundations and in fear and misery will always seek a king to rule over them and enact vengeance on their behalf on all of those they want to blame for the conditions they find themselves.

It’s 2008 all over again, but the sides are swapped.

Ok, then...

If the Senate filibusters Cruz’s agenda items.....Then enlighten us as to what HE will do.

I cant wait to hear the stream of platitudes, and wishful thinking.

Come on. dont be shy.

Support for the Second Amendment.

See above.

Plus he'll close the borders and oppose "free trade."

Use the funds already allocated to build as much as he can then use the bully pulpit to hammer the congress until they give him the rest.

Look how he crushed Jeb and the rest of the dwarfs with tweets. Imagine what he can do as president.

When he's done with them the only question about the wall will be "How high?"

Don't worry, Trump will get rid of the invaders as president, not dictator. If Ike could do it there's no reason Trump can't.

Where has Trump said this? I hear a lot of you Trump followers hanging assumptions about what he is going to do based on nothing more than wishful thinking and personal deduction. I hear Trump say he is going to build a wall - make Mexico pay for it - without a single viable stated plan or specific on how he plans to make that happen. Everything I read is from followers who assert Trump will do this or do that, but they cannot give me any plans or specifics Trump himself has revealed.

Look how he crushed Jeb and the rest of the dwarfs with tweets.

Mussolini used to stand on a cement box and do the same thing. There used to be a difference between governing and campaigning. But then, post Obama, everyone seems to think campaigning after using a pen and a phone is how we govern now.

Don't worry, Trump will get rid of the invaders as president, not dictator.

How? Because you say so? Because you hope so?

Look, I am all for sealing the borders and deporting law breakers of both visas and immigration.

But this is my problem with the Trump fanatics. It's all hope for change based on nothing but boilerplate.

You all think he is going to deport all the illegals because he says so when the media and the entire governing apparatus at Mordor on the Potomac have decreed it to be racist, nativist and genocidal??

Your political savior's past history indicates he will "see the light" and make a deal with LaRaza and the Oligarchy when his plan hits the rough seas of political reality, unless of course governing with his Pen and Phone is fine by you folks.

In which case, you Trumpians make my point of contention; you are fine with a dictator as long as he is YOUR dictator.

Heard the same thing from the rabid Obama Fascists in 2008 too.

Free speech exists only so long as you seig heil the political savior.

Do you advocate the guillotine or just line us up over a trench with a machine gun to our backs after your glorious revolution?

And people wonder why some of us are as frightened of the mobs hailing Trump as we were when Obama's throngs were fainting in his presence.
