The sooner more conservatives adopt Trumps pitbull approach the better. Been saying that for years. I hate most things about the guy but he is dead correct about the way he treats adversaries.

I think people need to refamiliarize themselves with the definitions of words to be honest. You don’t treat opponents ‘respectfully’ when you oppose everything they are about and they are destroying all you hold dear. You crush them, drive them before you and revel in the lamentations of their wimminz.

This is best in life.

He is doing a good work by putting a light on illegal immigration.

He was for the auto bailouts, though, and I frankly am disturbed by his lack of humility (though he is honest) when he says he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness....I pray he is awakened to the truth that his soul will last into eternity.

All his success on this side of the dirt will be worthless then—unless he turns to Christ.

I see these rich people (and know some) and my soul aches. Just as when I see very poor people who have empty souls and are searching for meaning in drugs and other anodynes....I believe driven, successful folk also do this, except on a socially acceptable level. Heck, I do it too.

All of us are without hope, though, unless we turn to our Creator in repentance.

Trump should visit the borderless areas of Arizona and Californicator land to target those areas of non inforcement.

Putting on your glasses does not make you look smarter Rick!

Excellent photo, almost Dukakis tank-worthy.

How clueless Perry is. The people are angry and want another tough speaking and tough acting cowboy and all he needed to do was act the part. Instead he is apparently courting the metrosexual vote. Is this the governor of Texas or Massachusetts? My guess is he is surrounded by dumb advisers telling him the rest of America hate Texans and want a slick bureaucrat. He has a kind of remote Stockholm Syndrome. And he apparently scared of his real self.

If Trump has secret horseback riding skills and can shoot and wear a big hat he could run away with this thing. Maybe he should buy that huge ranch in Texas that is bigger than NYC and build his western White House.

I'm shaking my head at this campaign season every day. It is becoming Trump and the 7 15 dwarfs! They really have no understanding. They only need to remember the 1976-1980 cycle to see themselves exhibiting the identical cluelessness of the Ford establishment attacking the cowboy outsider who dared step onto their turf.

Interestingly, even Ronaldus Maximus couldn't fully resist the GOPe. He first asked Ford to be his running mate ( arrrgh! ) and then picked the runner-up Bush41 instead ( barfff! ). This is not to say Trump is a Reagan, no-one is. But there is a distinct possibility here, especially if the GOPe keeps up the attacks. I pray they continue because should Trump succeed he will feel far less obligated than Reagan did to keep (R)epublicrats around him. Reagan made serious early mistakes by bringing in Deaver and others who helped neuter many of his policies. Were Trump to pull this off my dream is to see Sarah and Cruz and West and Keyes and Sessions in important jobs.

Wow. Now *that* is what is known as 'doubling down'. He's double-digits ahead among Latinos in Nevada as well. Have to say, I'm enjoying the hell out of The Rug's campaigning. :') Thanks Biggirl.

There are many days lately I think that it was the wrong lifetime to put the Genesee down.

Fortunately I’m 2500 miles from the closest quick stop that sells it. Otherwise I might just reacquaint myself with the dignity of porcelain worship.

I think you misunderstood me, or maybe I wasn’t concise enough.

I agree completely, I love seeing the figurative middle finger already coming out, but I don’t like the petty, immature name calling going on. That brings him down to their level.

McCain says Trump stirred up the crazies. Trump could have said “Yep, and I’m the head crazy”, then hit with -

McCain hasn’t done a thing to help veterans, voted for reduction of our military and so forth -

Still flipping them off, but using the facts, rather than name calling to do it. (NOTE - I don’t know how McCain voted on reducing our military, just a hypothetical example. I think he did vote for it or support it anyway)

It’s similar to something Rand Paul did last year, and Neil Cavuto did a commentary on Fox about it. Don’t know what Paul said, I missed the first few seconds, but it was basically character assassination. Cavuto roasted him over it big time, he sounded pissed, and said exactly what I think. Bash Hillary all you want, go for it. But use the truth, the facts and her record to do it, don’t just bash Hillary just to Bash Hillary.

Same here. Trump should go after these posers and not let up. But do it with tact. Use their own statements, their records, their congressional misdeeds, but don’t stoop to the 4th grade mentality name calling they are doing. No reason to wade into the slime pit with them...

Graham called him a jackass...Yep, I’m the jackass that just rolled over you in the polls. Later dude...

He could make them look silly quite easily without getting down in the dirt with them. Cruz is a master at it. I’ve watched him make a reporter look silly as hell with a smile on his face, calm as could be and without a word anybody could use against him. And got press out of it too.

You’re welcome to disagree, it makes for a good discussion, but I’ll stick to what I said, I think he should try to do it with a bit more tact, and without the name calling. I love watching Trump stir the pot, (I don’t even like the guy, but he’ll definitely get my vote if he stays till the bitter end) he’s got everybody in sight either running for cover or trying to think up a way to take him down, and it all just gets him more press...

“And that brings me to the one thing that bothers me about Trump, I’m thinking he should not stoop to the bickering and name calling others are doing, effectively bringing himself down to their level. Hit back, but do it with tact. As far as I’m concerned, that’s his one fault, he needs to be more tactful.”

Now that he has shown that he is capable of fighting, he probably won’t have to. Bullies get real cautious once their noses have been bloodied.

This is all about image. He is meeting with the border pateol union to get their point of view. But he is also acting the role.

“...Cruz is a master at it. ..”

True that.

I understand what you said, brother. I’m just tired of being polite to people trying to take my Rights away, and glad someone is finally giving it back to the jackasses.

“..but I’ll stick to what I said, ...”

And that’s a sign of character. Good on ya. Just a friendly disagreement with you, is all.

Carry on.

You are against Trump exposing the porous southern border?
Trump on the border will do more to expose the illegals problem than a thousand speeches by professional politicians.

Are you worried your illegal friends after visiting their relatives in Mexico won’t be able to cross the border easily?

If you paid any attention to my posts on trump you’d know I fully support his border/anti GOP stuff.

If you didn’t pay attention you shouldn’t assume things you don’t know.

Most of the time, it’s just a big PR stunt when someone declares a pilgrimage to the Border to see firsthand blah blah blah.

Above are the exact words you used. From above post it seemed like you are not happy about Trump visiting the border from above post. Sorry if I misunderstood your intentions. And I seldom investigate poster's history of previous posts. I read one post, I answer that post.
