They were the least likely to agree that whites had any re­spons­ib­il­ity “to make up for wrongs done to blacks in the past,”

Do blacks have any responsibility for wrongs done to whites?

No, of course not (except for individual wrongdoers, judged and punished in the normal way).

Same goes for whites.

Notice that Trump and Cruz don’t attack each other?

Cruz wants to just quietly survive while others drop out.

Then if Trump wins, he can be the VP.

Huh? How is Cruz's "support" taken by Trump? It isn't his then, is it? I would vote for Cruz, Carson, or Trump.

But the fact is, there is only one guy out there who has even the remotest chance to turn the country around and it is Trump. No one else has the media savvy, the willingness to buck the political system, and the money, to do what he can do. Certainly not Cruz, who will make a great AG or USSC justice.

“I don’t think the GOPe cares if they win the presidency.”
You know— that is a great point!! They would rather sell the country down the tubes than give up power !

Rush calls them the Nags, I call them the Hags, and their all jealous of such a Hottie. Comparing Melania to Moochelle the Wookie is just plain hilarious, their not even from the same species.

The socialists and demoncRATS are so darn afraid of Trump they just don't know which way to turn, say, write, read....

Trump is playing this election by his own play book and we, those of us, that support him are behind him all the way...we don't see anything bad that he does, others tell us, but we don't listen....we are so darn proud to have someone who isn't lying to us, doing one thing one day and then doing something else the next day....

If people can't see how bad our Country is right now, they either are that stupid, or they have blinders on...will Trump shake up America? OH HECK YEAH he will and we want him to!!!

MARS also backed many lib­er­al pro­grams: By a large per­cent­age, they favored gov­ern­ment guar­an­tee­ing jobs to every­one; and they sup­por­ted price con­trols, Medi­care, some kind of na­tion­al health in­sur­ance, fed­er­al aid to edu­ca­tion, and So­cial Se­cur­ity.

OH COME ON

Social Security is almost 100 years old. Everyone is invested in it, so to speak. Of course most are in favor of it.

He’s right. Who would watch a dozen snoozer “debates” moderated by the Democrat media talking heads? Every network that has Trump on charges quadruple their ad rate and makes a ton of money off his sky high ratings. Life is not fair.

Not exactly an admirable quality.

I don't think Trump would have Cruz as VP. Trump doesn't like people who make bad choices and Cruz made a really bad one when he voted for Iran and Obama and against Israel when he vote for the Corker bill.

Cruz supports TPP which Trump just pointed out what a bad deal that is too...Being a crybaby going on the senate floor whining about being lied to doesn't help either.

I’m still of the belief that GOPe are going to push Rubio- Kasich since their main go to guy, JEB! collapsed.

“There’d be a major collapse of the race, and there’d be a major collapse of television ratings,” he said from his office in Trump Tower. “It would become a depression in television.”

That's all he cares about: television ratings.

I, on the other hand, care about my country. Which is why I want to get him the hell out now so a real conservative can build the structure we'll need to win next November.

Sorry, Donald. Your sideshow was fun, but it's time for the men to get to work.

“OK say it does happen. What one(or two, three) candidates becomes the NEW populist Trump?”

NONE THEM, AND HERE’S WHY;

++++++++++
From time to time, someone invents an excellent wheel. Once invented, it’s hard to better the product, and so instead of a ’wheel’ invented by me, I offer one by a Freeper named M1911A1.

With all credit for writing this going to Freeper M1911A1, here is your answer:


At this point, I’d hardly care if in 2014 Trump had come out in support of almost any liberal cause.

The republic is dying. The libs are killing it, but guess who helps them? That’s right, the “conservatives” of the GOP!

You want to despise Trump for a former stance on abortion, when, as a private citizen, he could do little about it except write checks to politicians. I’m wagering it wasn’t a hot button donor issue for a guy focused on his empire.

Well how ‘bout that “conservative” Mitch McConnell, a man who could actually do something about it...it’s his job to do something about it, he was given power to do something about it. He did something today, he declared it was “futility” to defund Planned Parenthood, and this is only the latest in a long, long, and shameful list of outrages that have been either condoned or conducted by him and the other GOPe oligarchs.

You may dislike Trump, but remember that Mitch hates you if you are conservative, as do his masters, the big donors to Super Pacs. They only care about staying in power and growing government, and they trot out a conservative dog and pony show every once in a while to keep us yokels in line.

They have been busy changing the rules to make sure they are there forever, and if they lose to a Democrat, it’s no big deal, because they ultimately don’t differ all that much on the big issues.

Trump may strike you as too liberal, a braggart, a phony, or refreshing. It doesn’t matter. Supporting anybody else at this point is asking for the entrenched uniparty to keep abusing you. Trump is the only way out of this abusive relationship that is going to put your freedom in the grave.

After he upsets that applecart, we can start looking for someone better, but if we say no thanks to Trump the GOPe will figure out ways to make sure that no more challenges like his are ever mounted.

There are no guarantees that Trump is the real deal, or that even if he is that he can fix the crooked system, but if he doesn’t get that chance it is guaranteed that the crooked system will fix it so us annoying voters are even more irrelevant than we are now.

Trump has awoken them to the fact that even us dullards will only take so much, and once Trump exposes them, if they defeat Trump they won’t even have to put on the dog and pony show anymore.
