7 REASONS THE DONALD HELPS THE GOP

Donald Trump will not be the Republican presidential nominee in 2016. He does not have the infrastructure, he does not have the organization, he does not have the discipline. So why are so many Republican ThoughtLeaders intent on casting him from the race like a leper?

I dunno, a guy with 10 billion bucks, a genius level IQ, the ability to crush liberals and the MSM... I wouldn’t count the guy out so readily. If he goes the distance I think he gets the nomination, and he would win against Hillary IMO.

I just pray he takes Cruz along with him...what Cruz did yesterday really pleased me! :-)

I agree. I don’t go to Breitbart as it always freezes my computer. Also I think Free Republic has a 300 word excerpt ...

I was thinking about this yesterday as I still think Donald is a troll. BUT, perhaps the plan is backfiring a bit. The smart Republicans can take a lesson from Donald’s straight talk and how to handle the media about being unapologetic for principle positions.

A couple of candidates are trying to be truth-talkers and fumble around a bit, thinking they need to be softer in tone. Donald is showing them...Know you don’t, people are starving for the truth in many policy positions.

Donald won’t be the nominee, but he is early on showing that tough truth can break the ice, even if the troll thought the immigration comments would be the embarrassment of the GOP.

Ghostery pukes this up from Breitbart. Also makes the site useful. You need Firefox or Chrome to use this.

I believe Trump is the planned diversion, a pinyata, a man with the bullseye, on his back, the pied piper!!! remember thier creed locate the victim personalize it and irradicate it. All the nimrods in the media and the rat hords and supporters are following the donald like children to the icecream truck. All the while rooting out the sellouts in the GOP making way for the real candidate which I think is cruz

With Palin I used to make the same arguments. Things have changed.

1) Trump does not need standard fundraising, although I think he WILL get substantial PAC money.

2) He is running an unorthodox campaign heavily media centered in this age of celebrity. Palin tried, but failed, to do this. He has managed to use the media against itself. He is using the new media to gain incredible face time before the public and even though he has negatives, overall he is doing better than Hillary.

3) Neither Palin nor he cared what critics said, but Trump, due to his ego, has managed to get sympathy and focus that hatred into a campaign positive. Maybe because of McCain, maybe because the time wasn't right.

“After all, it would give you the ability to raise money quietly, do grassroots work without media scrutiny”

We’ll never know how many hit pieces on Cruz were NOT written because of Trump drawing virtually all of the media resources to himself. Even the media couldn’t find anything on Cruz, they would have been making stuff up by now. Cruz was the ONLY CANDIDATE not owned by the Republican Establishment (until Trump), and the Democrats and the media were not about to let him get very far.
