we’re not an angry nation

"Disgust" is a better description of our mood, and that is what I feel toward Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rubio, Jeb, and everyone else who supports Obamacare, Amnesty, or restrictions on the individual right of all people to keep and bear arms.

Serious reflection and introspection? How about serious thinking?

Trump has a lot in common with Obama - egotist, narcissist, and no fundamental set of core values. There is no indication he is a constitutionalist or that he wants to be ruled by it.

Better than O? Of course. A million times. But not one to lead us back value-wise.

The horror we have experienced over the last 6 years has everyone screaming for anybody they think can be a true leader to take us away from the disaster O has been. But many would take a tyrant who looked to be O’s opposite - which Trump is in many ways.

And there’s still the issue - can Trump beat Hillary? - IF she isn’t destroyed by her email scandal........ or any other Dem? I’m not sure.

One point someone else made that has value: Trump will never go into a deal he thinks he might lose. His ego will allow it, and especially at the biggest thing he has ever tackled. If he doesn’t see clearly that he can beat any Dem, I believe he’ll drop out - and support any conservative nominee. And that’s the same reason he won’t run 3rd party. He’d lose. And Trump doesn’t lose.

I’m hoping Trump is setting up Cruz.

I swear, it seems like every day Rubio says something even stupider than the day before.

Exactly! I couldn’t have said it better.

The left is perpetually outraged, the right is completely disenfranchised and ticked off about it. What country is Rubio addressing when he says “we are not an angry nation”?

I suspect that, truth be told, many of our nation’s “leaders” would be lynched tomorrow if people thought they could get away with it. Rubio is clueless. From what I’ve seen and heard the last few years, what people are feeling toward the ticks in government is beyond anger. It’s rage.

Think again, Marco.

The average Americans is BROILING WITH FURY!

Rubio lives in the bubble where the consultants all say the voters don’t like angry—especially that voters are afraid of conservatives who appear angry. Make nice. Smile. Always go for that “new tone.” Reach across the aisle.

This is why the birthers have been treated like lepers. If Obama is an illegal alien—and he is—then you might need to do something MEAN, like remove him from office, arrest him, try him, etc.

Ok, Marco “Gang of Eight” Rubio.

Yeah, we’re not angry at all.

Especially with the Gang of Eight.

We’re not angry at that, at all.

The root of the GOP's problem in one sentence...."Trump won’t be our nominee because we’re not an angry nation".

Yes GOP, the base is past angry and one loud mouth attention hound is giving it to everyone in politics and the media.....his following is growing because you are too stupid to understand what is needed.

If you had let Trump be Trump and not attacked him and backed a true conservative he would have trumped himself by now, but no, now his following is becoming real instead of entertainment.
