See, the Lo-Fos vote for whoever the media tells them is "hip" and "new". Most aren't smart enough or concerned enough to know who they are voting for. All they know is who the media and their friends say they are voting for and they join in like the lemmings they are.

Trump has had a decade in front of the camera, furrowing his brow and choosing whether to "fire" Arsenio Hall or Clay Aiken while telling them both they "are terrific".

This matters more to them than someone's policy on immigration or job growth. While this all sounds stupid, Trump has schmoozed enough blacks, gays and women on tv that the libs will have a tougher time smearing him as anti-(blank) because they saw how he behaved on tv.

“But yes, for a while, shortly after release, it was first (print) and third (ebook) - that’s a RARE double.”

Posting your books ad nauseum. I’m glad to see you are starting to sound like Donald Trump. LOL!

“How will he do that”

Trump is already leading every GOP poll and he’s leading every demographic.

If you paid attention to what the general public is saying you would have already realized that many Blacks, Hispanics and White Democrats are leaning toward Trump. This is due to the fact that there are many disenchanted voters in the middle and on the left who are out of work and can’t afford obamacare. They want things fixed also.

As far as the debate next Thurs goes all Trump has to do is not flub up.

This GOP nomination is Trump’s to lose. He will only lose if he strays into the weeds and if so I have no sympathy for him.

Only people who are not paying attention don’t realize the utter frustration the American voters have toward the uniparty and the general downward spiral of our country.

I noticed you didn’t answer his question.

Well, you answered it, but it sure came off as the typical liberal response.

He asked you “How will [Trump] do that?” That is the demographics he supposedly has a commanding lead with in the polls, how is he getting them to support him.

Is it because Trump is promoting conservative principles and people are finally starting to understand that liberalism/socialist policies aren’t the answer?

Or is it simply out of “anger”? That is they don’t give a rats a$$ what Trump stands for, they just think something from him is better regardless of what it is.

I think we know the answer to this question.

And that means Trump’s candidacy does diddly to promote conservatism and the principles and policies it will take to truly turn the nation around.

Your no better than the establishment telling me I’ve got to water down my conservative beliefs to get a “winner”. The solution never seems to be to support the person most capable of articulating conservative principles and getting low information voters to understand why our policies and beliefs are better and healthier for the country.

Let me tell you how it works - maybe your husband can explain it to you...but I’m here, minding my own business, and someone (often some female) attacks with accusations of RINOism or “establishment shill” or some other demonstrably absurd and stupid lying accusation....then I’m going to respond, and the most effective way to shut these people up is with proof that I’ve written this book or that column. I don’t care if you like it or not.

FTR The book is almost 3 years old now...STILL RELEVANT...but past it’s sales surge. I’ve given away more copies on FR than I ever sold here. I sell more at every single speech than I have done all told here. That’s not why I do it. I do it to embarrass those who took it upon themselves to lie about me.

unlike you, I realize this should not be about me or you...I’m dealing with ideas, you’re dealing with me living in your head rent free. Try thinking about ideas and not obsessing over personality so much. You will learn. You’ll be amazed.

I'm sure they'll prefer Donald's universal Canadian style health care......

I’m amazed you left your congregation at the altar of self-worship to gather in a black sheep.

Unsuccessfully.

dear c_joy,

In a similar thread last month, I think somebody made that same statement.

I do not look at Cruz, in the frame of age. Some of our more esteemed presidents were not ‘young’.

I DO believe with the defeat, if the skank ever gets that far, of Hillary, that Trump might have to watch his back.

Got a Freeper that posted a thread a month or two ago accusing Ted Cruz of using other people’s speeches.

A Paulbot possibly ?

Better yet, have Ted Cruz save his campaign money and Donald Trump can use his own money to primary McConnell and Boehner’s supporters.

Parksstp was pointing out that Liz didn’t mention that Ted Cruz was not being mean to Christians as it appears at face value, but rather to Arabs who are “ supposed Christians “ who hate Israel and Ted Cruz walked off the stage.

You ( a candidate ) gain respect, and adoration not by appealing to the mushy middle as a moderate, but sticking to your long held pricibles and conviction therefore setting a example for another to be persuaded and to follow.

John McCain and Mitt Romney perhaps lost more base conservatives BECAUSE they were trying to appeal to the moderate and mushy middle than what they actually gained by trying to appeal to the moderates as a full spectrum candidate.

Cruz cannot bring in the full spectrum of support that Trump can. I'm one of the ones who likes Cruz, but think he's rushing things when he doesn't have to. He's got the baggage of wanting MORE H1B workers at the very time when tech workers were losing jobs and being replaced by them. He got played by Obama and the dems on the trade deal, and who but Trump can put that genie back in the bottle? And now he's getting huge donations from people who will have that access to him that money buys.

What is your hurry?
