"Reagan Democrats I know are talking up Trump." Probably because Trump's a Democrat.

Every time you compare that clown to Winston Churchill it makes me think we're doomed to lose.
Surely, our side cannot be so abysmally stupid.

My in-laws did very well for themselves through a lifetime of hard work. They don’t contribute to Democrats, and my FIL is hardly a novice when it comes to how things work.

So far only two or three freepers complain about the comparison. You are one of them.
Over 75% of posters to Trump threads are sympathetic to him...they have waited a long time for someone to say what needs to be said.

Thanks for reminding me about those things that Trump does.
Also, several times(four?) his companies have filed bankruptcy and I’ll bet his vendors which probably include small business people have suffered greatly.
To: Mariner
He's saying what people are thinking and he's enough of a showman to make it interesting.
"I'm saying what you're thinking" sounded like a familiar political slogan.
So I googled it and found it was Meir Kahane's. Not a good choice for Trump considering what happened to Kahane.

"So far only two or three freepers complain about the comparison. You are one of them." Yes, the world is pretty strange right now.
But seriously...do you really think it's a valid comparison?
Think about it. You're comparing one of the greatest statesmen the world has ever seen, who helped win WWII, to some loudmouthed liberal real estate tycoon who flails around, yelling and threatening lawsuits because he's an attention whore.
The fact that you could even consider the comparison is beyond mind-blowing.
"Over 75% of posters to Trump threads are sympathetic to him...they have waited a long time for someone to say what needs to be said."
Yeah, it's the same with the "Dancing With The Stars" threads. They're sympathetic, too. But neither those dancers nor Trump are qualified to be president.
You're being played.

-— Because people are sick and tired of watching the PC marms, racialists & other assorted whiners bully their way into control over their lives, and they crave someone - anyone - with the b*lls to fight back. -—
Bingo
But unfortunately, Trump isn’t a deep thinker. He’s a loose canon. At best he can set an example for us of not being afraid to onfront the PC police

By the way, true conservatives will support Walker. He’s the only one guaranteed by his record to try to cut big government spending. And unlike Trump, he’ll support the Second Amendment strictly.

"Then, by all means, lets stick with the current paradigm..." That's the response I get from most Trump fans. "Hillary did it, too", or "He's better than Obama/the current paradigm", etc.
Why are you under the impression you have to settle for better than Obama? You don't.
I'm sticking right with Ted Cruz. He says the right things, as well, but he doesn't make a clownish spectacle of himself doing so. He's cool, sharp, and effective, and he's a solid Constitutional conservative...not a liberal Democrat like Trump.

Yes, I agree. Everything is going great with our current crop of republicans. Why would we want to mix it up? They have stopped Obama every step of the way since getting elected to congress. I mean, you just don’t mess with success. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Everything is going well in this country. All is well....
To: Mariner
I’ll vote for him in any poll that shows up just to give the GOP-e and their liberal clones some heartburn.
As mentioned elsewhere, he doesn’t back down which is one Helluva refreshing trait, which ups his numbers.
