Signing up to play in Operation Chaos v.2016 doesn't require any voter eligibility, just a lust for chewing and spewing red meat. It's all about trending to emotions.

Even the Rally supporters are now part of the show! They even get their moment on the news......I doubt anything could embarrass Trump...he's such a exhibitionists....

This gal was interviewed...said she didn't know who she was going to vote for she just wanted to see Trump because she loved watching the Apprentice.

Now this gal was totally beside herself at meeting a celebrity...

That gif on top is from the crazy Iowa rally where he acted like he was drunk.

Jonah Goldberg just said that watching Trump is like watching a monkey run around loose in NORAD, lol.

Obama Voters, what’s popular now is what they will vote for.

I saw a reporter today say she had covered both Trump and Cruz campaigns.

She prefers following the Cruz campaign because they don’t try to control everything she writes.

Cruz doesn’t have anything to hide and he isn’t an egomaniac.

Trumps going to have to up his game ......the advantage he has is also he’s in his comfort zone of “entertaining” his supporters by repetition and buzz words and quoting what ever news story he’s read to “share”m specifically the polls. .....All this to retain his “fan” supporters will not be sufficient to obtain the ‘additional supporters’ he will need to actually win.

A win in Iowa is not the key, of course. However, the possibility of a Cruz win in Iowa has made Trump go a little crazy.

An ultimate egoist, Trump cannot stand the thought of anyone gaining on him anywhere, anytime. Thus, Trump’s innocent and helpful attempt to call attention to the possibility that Cruz might not be eligible.

I’m okay with Trump... I believe he stands for the right things now and may very well follow through. He would be better than Hillary or Biden for sure

I don’t trust him like I trust Cruz though.

....”Trump, has demonstrated that he fails the standard for national leadership with his loose mouth.”......

That cannot be stated enough.....and what makes him dangerous as some have stated. His great NEED for attention, no matter what he has to do or say to obtain that, will create a storm of emotions within him when if he doesn’t maintain the popularity he’s accustomed to having. ......

I understand that at his rally’s now if those coming in the doors aren’t for Trump they don’t get in at all now. That speaks volumes...especially when he said...”these are MY people here and we Love each other.”........his focus is absolutely to retain his supporters and fears they will “Abandon” him .....He also said he was “Protecting” them when in fact HE’s protecting his emotions.

All that is directly related to his personality traits....which early on some had mentioned we’d see playing out...and they are.

Cruz recently referenced these attacks would be coming hard and strong.....but we knew they would as well....

Heck even Axelrod, of all people, chimed in how delighted and fun it was to see Trump go after Cruz on the birther issue.

Trump’s carrying Hillary’s water on the birther issue....and he’ll be carrying more of the Liberal “Bait” they’re going to throw his way. ...that’s Trumps weak spot...he’s wide open for the campaigns that feed him because he doesn’t check his facts...doesn’t pay attention to his resources and he shows this without apology.

.....”Trump is the candidate of continued cultural degradation “.....

Yes!.....but not surprising after what we saw with Obama as well. I can’t tell you the number of people I spoke with about Obama, so many facts they didn’t know about....and even after they could not deny them they voted for him anyway!

Trump voters are also caught up in the same “wave” Trump uses.....however I will say....One of the lessons of elections past is that ‘bomb-throwing candidates’ who are fun and disruptive when they are first in the race become easily ignored when they fall behind.

I don’t know what you mean about Cruz failing the major test on abortion but I do know you... or at least I remember you.

No one could meet your standards. I’m just glad JC isn’t running... he couldn’t either.

Thanks for bringing up that ticket thing. I went on the thread with the worshippers and none of them seemed to think it was as odd as I thought it was.
