President Trump' May Not Be So Far-Fetched - And the Polls Scare the Establishment to death
Fox News ^ | July 10, 2015 | Geoff Earle

WASHINGTON — Republicans who started off viewing Donald Trump as an amusing sideshow are starting to fret that the real-estate billionaire is becoming the main event.

Since he defied skeptics and launched his presidential bid last month, Trump has rocketed in the polls, dominated media coverage and helped steer the debate on issues.

“I don’t know that he even knows how far he takes this,” former New York GOP Rep. Thomas Reynolds, who is close to GOP candidate and ex-Gov. George Pataki, told The Post. “He has the wherewithal . . . He has put together a pretty wholesale ground force in New Hampshire, and that has to be taken seriously.”

Its possible trump saw Romney as the path to get rid of the bamster. When that piece of shit Romney threw the election, trump got pissed and may have decided he will give it a shot. The only other guy I would consider voting for is Ted Cruz.I am guardedly optimistic but I don't completely discount what you are saying.

See #48. None are perfect.

How do you feel about Cruz and trade agreements and H1-B’s?

Those are big negatives to me. If he is the Nominee I will support him, but I have not decided on anyone right now.

Their is huge resentment and fear in the Middle Class about jobs and their way of life. It is disappearing and they know it.

The in-sourcing and outsourcing of cheap labor is the root cause of this. This is what Trump is hitting at by bringing up the illegals.

That and crime, that is a gut fear for many people including women.

in times as perilous as these, heroes may come with warts. Lord knows, some of the most admired heroes in American history were rough around the edges.

That's my thinking as well my FRiend! Strange times can call for strange leaders.

I made this graphic a while back when very few were taking Trump seriously.

I was called a fool for making up such a graphic... but it plays better every day.

Trump does not know anything about governing.

He won’t be able to clean house

Yesterday or earlier today, there was an article on Trump and this swimming pool they were building in NYC, the government was building it, and it took forever to get built, Trump wrote them, talked to them and said he had built all this stuff while they, the Government, are dragging their heels. I'll find the thread which I can't but it may well for some people dismiss the notion that because he hasn't been in government, he couldn't clean it up.

Trump seemed to say the pool was just a matter of laying concrete and he'd built two skyscrapers in the time they had not finished the pool. It it something like this. Maybe someone here knows the story.

But I'm under no illusions, he's not quite superman, he may have gotten his casinos built by greasing palms. But maybe not, maybe this is what is needed for the country.

He is a free trade guy. Which makes him like most conservatives and capitalists.

The TPA and TPP had too much other stuff in it. He changed his vote and explained his positions.

If you want someone you agree with 100 percent then throw your hat in the ring.

Maybe that’s why he’s not gaining the traction that many of you think he should.

I’d vote for Cruz definitely, I think why Trump is getting some criticism here because he has sort of “stolen the show” as they say. But he’s also stolen the show from close to everyone else. And overall, good for him.

And so?

Presidents cannot just go in and fire everyone. They cannot enact legislation the cannot make treaties without consent. How is Trump going to clean house?

And you think you are a conservative

“Are you telling me you would vote for Trump over Cruz?”

If you want the Republican party to cater to the Business and Investor classes only. Well that’s good for about 5-10% of the vote.

Kinda of hard to win elections like that.

Sorry I’m not your kind of Conservative.

I long for the day that President Scott Walker follows precedent and rides around in a golf cart pulling federal tax and labor law out of his golf bag.
