"What three things can induce projectile vomiting."

As if right on cue after Romney and Rubio, Bush on Saturday afternoon joined the coordinated parade of establishment Republicans attacking Trump.
“I don’t think he represents the Republican Party, and his views are way out of the mainstream of what Republicans think,” Bush said Saturday afternoon in New Hampshire. “No one suggests that we shouldn’t control our borders – everybody has a belief that we should control our borders. But to make these extraordinarily ugly kind of comments is not reflective of the Republican Party. Trump is wrong on this.”
Trump has been harsh on Bush, Rubio and Romney. When Romney was flirting with a third run for the White House earlier this year, in an interview with Breitbart News and a news conference on his private jet in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Trump called Romney a failure.
“I was right in 2012. I said we don’t have a strong candidate, but we had Mitt Romney,” Trump said. “We went with Mitt Romney and he failed. He let us all down, to be honest with you. For him to be running again is outrageous.”
“He failed,” Trump repeated. “He should have won. [The Obama administration] is a failed presidency. [Obama] is a failed president, and [Romney] should have won, but he lost.”

IMO Donald is a good attack dog and an excellent bomb thrower. I’m enjoying his role as a candidate that says whatever is on the top of his mind and is not afraid to say it. I don’t think he would win in the general, but you never know. Right now I’m a bigger fan of the systematic tear downs that Ted Cruz engages in with other candidates, he’s as effective as Trump but he comes across as more refined.
Trump is a troublemaker like Perot in war with the GOPe and their anointed candidate he was sent into to soften up for Hillary.
I support neither side in this fight. I only say Trump is entitled to his position and we should all say that to protect everybody’s First Amendment rights of free speech and religion from attack by the political and business elites as we can see with Gay Marriage and Confederate flags.
Let Trump and the Republican elite tear each other up in a nasty cockfight while Ted Cruz waits in the wings unscathed.
Thanks for the GOPe perspective. I suppose in your alternate universe GHW Bush would have swung conservative in his second term and reversed his amnesty EO? In contrast, that "little creep" called for closing the border and a 5 year moratorium on immigration.
And eight years of the Clintons were preferable?
Perot knew he couldn’t win, but he hated GHWB & siphoned off enough votes to derail his reelection.
And Clinton never achieved an electoral majority, IIRC.
Every big business CEO is going to embrace whoever is in power at any given time. They have to work with those in office because of the scale of the businesses they run. It is the norm for people at that level of business to donate to both parties.
For that reason, I don’t put too much importance on Trumps friendliness to the Clintons. More important is what he says he wants to do to salvage this country and make it great again.
I still have doubts that Trump would be best at knowing how to get that done through the bureaucratic channels he would have to navigate, but if he would be willing to work for a Cruz administration as VP or in the Cabinet, he will be a tremendous asset.
At no time did TPA need less than a 60 vote threshold to pass. Cruz voted “No” on cloture and “No” on the bill itself.
Trump just helped take out Rubio.
Maybe he will last long enough to take out Jeb too.
Well, in 2013, Cruz proposed increasing the cap on H-1B visas from 65,000 to 325,000, in an amendment to an immigration bill (his amendment was defeated). There are plenty of unemployed American engineers who have been displaced in favor of lower-paid H-1B visa-holders.
Supporting legal immigration through infrastructure that currently exists is vastly different from supporting illegals.
I was never pulling for Trump from the getgo, but the people running for President coming out against him pretty much drop off my list.
The GOPe is attacking him, then I’m definitely voting Trump!

I am not asking to vote for anybody. If you understand the main thought behind my posts, it is that stop attacking other republican candidates. It will NOT help your candidate to rise in popularity. What it will do is give fodder to democrats for making campaign commercials. The democrats always have a field day making commercials where one republican is denouncing other republicans.
If you wish your preferred candidate to rise, keep posting relentlessly about his/her positive traits and actions.
Have republicans learned anything from Ronald Reagan’s advice?
Very funny, very prescient, and very clever post.
Picture says it all!
Lol. Lets add Christie while we are at it.
You know, you are far more transparent than you think you are.
Thanks RKBA Democrat.
I think you agree with me, but if you don’t that’s okay. That touched on my core beliefs in this situation, but not everyone is going to see it the same way.

Thanks VRW Conspirator.
I think he is forcing that conversation, and it’s probably the biggest favor anyone has done for Conservatism since Reagan.
Think about his. Cruz and others have been pretty strong about illegal immigration. Did the media pick up on it and talk about it like they are with Trump?
Folks, you fix a problem you first have to admit you have one. This nation has been in denial since Reagan.
Trump has tossed illegal immigration in the faces of the Left and those who couldn’t gasp the problem until now.
As he continues to point to people harmed by illegal immigrants, just maybe some folks will wake up and demand a fix.
I appreciate your response. It was nice.
I still am not convinced that Trump actually wants the job or the pay cut that comes with it. I personally do not care why Trump is doing this and I have no illusions that he is conservative but I thank the Lord that he is bringing up the immigration issue. The GOP-E and the democrats both wanted to keep this matter very quiet and push amnesty through. Now there is a discussion of it. I believe that most Americans are dead set against amnesty and supporting it will hurt candidates. That is a good thing in my view. I just hope that Trump stays in long enough to make everybody take a clear position on it.

Hell no.
