Trump is doing and saying precisely what you are asking for. Listen to him and not the media if you want the truth.

You are not paying attention to the principals, only the biased media.

In this election, Trump ran against the establishment and they cannot forgive him, so they are determined to elect Hillary.

*************************

Best line in the article, I’ve never seen anyone put it so succinctly.

Trump is a serious threat to the business as usual crowd in DC. They see their little gravy train being derailed, and they don’t like it a bit..

Trump is exactly what I’ve wanted to see for 30 years. I never dreamed it would be Trump who would step up to the plate, actually never thought I’d see it at all, but I’ll take it.

Can’t be bought, has the backbone to stand up against the status quo, believes in looking out for the people. That’s us by the way.

They HATE that...the ones like Cruz, Bush and Graham who refuse to keep the promise they signed, should never ever be elected again. I was a Cruz fan at first, but once he refused to keep that promise, I wouldn’t vote for Cruz if he ran for dog catcher.

The only problem Trump has is he can’t seem to keep from making outrageous statements that get him into trouble. But sometimes I wonder if that might not actually be intentional, to keep the news focused on himself, so anyone else can’t get any exposure.

But I have to admire him, he won’t back down, he calls the media and the politicians exactly what they are, corrupt, incompetent liars, and whether they like it or not, he has changed politics and the republican party forever.

A lot of people are saying he’s destroying the republican party, I think he’s tearing down both parties. Hillary is helping tear down the democrat party.

The recent polls aren’t great, but I don’t put a lot of faith in polls anyway, especially since a lot of people who won’t admit it to a pollster will still vote for Trump.

He has a lot better chance than we may realize, I just hope he will start to focus on Hillary and ignore her puppets. It’s the puppet master he needs to worry about.

Mainstream media is simply the propaganda arm of the DNC....the polls - are push polls to make it look like she is ahead in order to supress the Trump vote....

Hillary gets 200 supporters at a high school gym, Trump gets 20,000 at a stadium..... we can all do the math.

Additionally ....Recall the Brexit Polls - they predicted over and over winning by landslide - lost 48%-52%...........

The only time the pollsters care to get public opinion right is the day before the election. Until then it is all about manipulating public opinion.

The Republican Party as we know it is already dead, it just doesn’t know it yet.

If Trump can somehow win in a momentous landslide victory he doesn’t need the people to remove them. All he needs is to use his political clout from the election to persuade the congressmen and senators who elect their leadership to un-elect them. It can be done. But Trump needs to win big to do this. Our so-called “representatives” need to feel serious pressure to change things.

If Trump wins with a narrow margin he may have to co-exist with Ryno and Turtle and find ways to work with them to advance his agenda.

....”The Republican Party as we know it is already dead, it just doesn’t know it yet.”.....

I wouldn't say that just yet, rather it's most defiantly in transition mode. Trumps very presence in the election has exposed those who are trying to get Hillary elected over that of supporting Trump as the GOP Candidate for Pres.....and this includes those who lay claim to being conservative but are not.

It's a form of cleaning house....the crude is rising to the top and will be skimmed off.

Trump isn't beholden to the usual interests.

In this sense and more, Donald Trump is the Echo of Our Framers' President.

Tories at one time were tarred, feathered, and run out on a rail.

I’ll NEVER vote for a GOP Establishment person again - not for President, Governor, Senate or House. The millions of us who voted for Trump need to walk away from the GOP Establishment ... forever.

Our ‘uniparty’ people are as bad or worse than theirs...

Trump must emphasize his conservative economic principles, the threat from Isis, etc. He is starting to lose his independent advantage.

If people are switching to Hillary no matter the reason, what difference does it make, the Republic is lost anyway.

If Trump doesn’t win, I will never vote Republican again.

You will be lucky if you even get to vote unless it is a one party vote ala the old Russian model.

You may wish to send donations to try to keep the Senate Republican.

I may want to stick my head in a gas oven before I send any money to the GOP.

Also remember they use hand counted ballots. These outrageous polls have only one purpose, to repare you for the theft of an election.

“At thus point I hare anti-Trump Republicans more than I hate the Democrats. If Trump doesn’t win, I will never vote Republican again.”

Same here. I expect democrats to be treacherous but the betrayal by so-called “conservatives” is unforgivable.

The #nevertrumpers are willing to destroy the country because of childish spite. I won’t forget their actions.

“Trump has many strong points.

However, he is not running for president of a fraternity.

Our country simply can’t afford Hillary and her schemes.

I think Trump needs to stand down and the Republican Party needs to put up Rubio for President to win the Hispanic vote and Kasich for Vice President to win the independent vote.

Trump loves to make jokes and pull pranks. However, more than half of America is in no mood to laugh.

This election is serious.

Hillary won’t be able to take your guns for at least two years since the House will probably stay Republican, but leftist state governments (California, New York, Maryland, Connecticut, etc.) with Supreme Court blessing can and will.

You may wish to send donations to try to keep the Senate Republican.”

You can’t be serious.

Rubio??? Kasich??? Two open borders, globalist traitors who are quite liberal. Kasich is just as leftist as Killary.

Only a traitor would vote for those cuck losers.
