They are whistling past the graveyard.

Trump is in this to win it.

Even if he does not win, he will alter the political landscape for a generation.

He polls well in media driven polls...for a reason.

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.

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.

Probably because he is telling the unvarnished truth about this government. The rest are just “POLITICIANS” that wouldn’t say “SHIT” if they had a mouthful of it. The rest are afraid that what they say may turn off some voters. So, rather than telling the truth about this government, they “SKIRT” around issues they feel is too volatile.

Trump donated to Hillary for President.

That's all I need to know. He talks a game. Talk is cheap. Weak minded people may be fooled by the talk, but not me.

In my opinion, one reason he is polling well is because he refuses to back away from the positions that he takes. Once Univision, NBC, and Macy’s objected to his remarks on immigration, just about any other Republican would have backed down, apologized profusely, and begged for forgiveness (and of course, no amount of apology would have been deemed acceptable by the left.) Not Trump. Not only has he not backed down, he’s been hitting back. The rest of the Republican field could learn a lesson from this. I hope they do. Stand your ground, don’t back down.

I have doubts about Mr Trump but it is nice to see someone fight for a change. Hopefully his success may inspire others to grow a pair.

Because he’s irritating all the “right” people. And he’s in that part of a campaign where you can just make bold declarative sentences and nobody bothers to ask how you’re actually going to do that. Basically at this point he’s Perot. Who didn’t really change the landscape, other than helping Clinton win.

Voters are dumb. He is the new shiny penny. Everyone likes a fool. He is humorous and outrageous and people would not want to be friends with them, but they are hilarious from afar.

I’m not a Trump guy by any means, but the answer to his early success is extraordinarily simple.

People are sick to death of namby-pamby skittish PC CRAP! People are hungry, no starved, for someone who will strike hard against the gates of Liberal lies and deception without fear or regard.

And right now at least, Trump is that guy.

I am for Cruz, Carson or Walker, (probably mostly Cruz), but I am glad Trump is in it. He says what he wants to say. I am sick of Obie, and sick of all dems, and sick of most repubs as well. I like how he says what a disaster Obie is, and goes after Univision and NBC and Macy’s for supporting illegal aliens. Good for him. I’m sick of almost all of the govt.

He is doing well in polls because he panders to the Republican base rather than pandering to Democrat base like most of the other candidates do.
