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.”

Finally - an admission that you stand against a lo but stand for nothing. For the guy who refuses to pick something to stand for - it's so much easier to be a carping fault-finder than to actually form a cogent opinion about what we really need and to keep the Left from finishing the job that such as you offer no palpable resistance against.
You are a great noisemaker - did you get a gig during the 4th to "enhance" the fireworks effects?
No full-term Governors like Ventura.
Thank you, I found the “rink” thread: http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-gop/3309975/posts
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?
All Presidents delegate duty and Reagan was known especially for doing that. I'm sure there are capable persons who could be hired to do such if Trump's momentum keeps up and he found himself in the White House.
Oh, and here is the “Ice Rink” thread: And so?

“The flamboyant developer made his offer in a ”Dear Ed” letter to Mayor Koch dated May 28. ”For many years I have watched with amazement as New York City repeatedly failed on its promises to complete and open the Wollman Skating Rink,” he wrote. ‘Should Take No More Than 4 Months’
”During this six-year period,” he said, ”I have constructed major hotels, apartment buildings and, in 26 months, Trump Tower, a highly sophisticated and complex mixed-use building containing shopping, offices and apartments. Building the Wollman Skating Rink, which essentially involves the pouring of a concrete slab, should take no more than four months time.”
The government was dragging its heels in completing this arena, Trump got it built.
No, you are wrong. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson TX inserted an amendment into a bill that removed the funding before Bush left office.
Government isn’t the solution, Government is the Problem. Man, we want someone with governing experience?
I am guessing all these Trump Bashers are for Jeb-bots.
Nick won’t say who he is for. Which can only mean he is afraid to divulge his candidate. So I am guessing it has to be the most UN-popular one on FR. Hint: John Ellis...
OK, you’ve sniped almost every post, so I ask you the same question I asked bkepley The Oily one - WHO are you for?
How about just no clowns?

>> “He never said that and you know it. He said hardworking illegals would not be deported.” <<

If they can’t be deported, that is amnesty, even if your cognition doesn’t go that deep.

I pissed, are you off yet?
Exactly like Cruz, read it b&tch:
http://www.texastribune.org/2013/09/13/immigration-cruz-aims-middle-ground/
I think I see a pattern here. :-)
1) Post No. 2: The establishment is over the moon about this. They have figured out how to con the people who were resisting them.
2) Post No. 6: I don’t like any of them that much. but Trump is the worst. he’s a Manchurian candidate.
3) Post No. 15: Yes, give him as much attention as possible until he drops out. Trump is the best thing that’s happened to them.
4) Post No. 23: 4) Post No. 23: Hint: He’s never actually going to run for president. He’s not a conservative and never has been. He’s as establishment as they come. Dig beneath what the media tells.
5) Post No. 25: We’ll see. Cruz was okay, but has been going down hill. You really support Trump? He’s never running anyway. If he did the media has enough info on him Hillary could get past 70%.
6) Post No. 26: He pretends to run every four years. He registers whatever party is convenient and says whatever he has to. He is a long time big government addict.
7) Post No. 29: That guy’s been soiling his panties over Trump Freeping for conservatism all week. If Trump is so anti-establishment answer me one question: Why did he endorse Romney in 2012. Romney is not a conservative no matter what excuses you make. Trump is in the Romney camp.
8) Post No. 32: “Trump is just pissed off”
Trump has never been happier in his life. He is getting the thing he wants more than anything in life.
9) Post No. 37: “Who cares? Some inflammatory speach is exactly what we need.”
Yes, just what is needed to give amnesty it’s final push!
10) Post No. 43: “What does Seinfeld have to do with it? I don’t know anything about that.”
over the moon = extremely delighted; very pleased
11) Post No. 47: Meaning the left etc. realizes they can take one of their own people, have him say a few nonsense phrases that are inflammatory, and enough conservatives will ignore everything about that person and follow him like a lemming.
12) Post No. 51: “I haven’t decided who I support. Cruz, Trump, Paul, Walker are all under consideration.”
If you took out Trump and substituted Jindal, I could buy it. How could nix Jeb and Rubio and support Trump. They may be RINOs, but they still have done more things conservative than Trump has. Examine his history. He has nothing to offer.
13) Post No. 53: “nick, I probably know as much, if not more than you do about “THE DONALD” and he has NEVER before announced and done ALL of the paperwork before!”
Yes, but this time people were suspicious, so he had to up the ante and announce he was running. No one would believe the boy who cried wolf anymore. If you know so much about him, do you know his real net worth?
(Pause: Mommy says it’s time for a nap.)
14) Post No. 147: So you think only politicians can be conservative?? It’s more like the opposite. Anyone who is not a politician can do conservative work. What you said is the biggest GOPe- nonsense I’ve ever heard. Did you get that from a McConnell press release?
15) Post No. 148: He’s not going to win. When he’s got enough attention he will drop out and endorse Jeb. If he were president he’d fight for amnesty and he promote big government like he always done. Total fiscal irresponsibility.
16) Post No. 149: Your accountant tells you how much Trump us worth? Fire you accountant. Trump isn’t worth 10% of that.
17) Post No. 151: You are so naive. Trump would be on the side of all the things you claim to be against. Look at his track record. Have you ever heard of Kelo?
18) Post No. 152: Who wanted his endorsement? I don’t know of anyone who wanted it. But Romney got it. Says a lot about Trump.
19) Post No. 158: Your biggest priorities are letting illegals stay here, banning the Confederate flag, and preventing people from offending Muslims?
20) Post No. 161: He will not run. He is only doing this for attention. He doesn’t believe anything he is saying. He’s never going to open his financial up to the public.
He will drop out and endorse Jeb. If he were in the general election Hillary would get 70% The media has plenty of dirt on him. You think they are going to let him get away with claiming he has $900 billion when it’s more like $200 million? He would be made a laughingstock of if he ran.
As of 10:30 PST - (Pause. Nap Time Part II.)
Some people made a video of your posts on YouTube:

Thanks Chelsea!
Is there anything in that list that you find issue with?
You should have your boyfriend read the article I linked to you. An opportunity to educate yourself.
You, Lindsey, McCain, Jeb, Hillary, NBC, Univision, et al share the same position. I on the other hand stand with Cruz, Trump, Jim Robinson on illegal immigration.
~cheers loser
Everything. :-)
Don’t you find the volume a bit much?
These anti-Trump guys remind me of those crappy little Chihuahuas that constantly yap and nip at your heels, but do nothing more. In this case, come out for a favorite instead of just carping.
There was a post somewhere that the Left posted a Craigslist ad looking for spammers who would be paid by the post.
A suspicion grows.
I dunno about Trump but I like him upsetting the GOP-e. I’m fine with either Trump or Cruz. Anybody else and it is the sameo-sameo.
fyi
