If we solve the illegal alien problem, a lot of our other problems are greatly reduced

“This guy has to be stopped, he will destroy us, I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck”

The only conservative running for president is Cruz. Trump is as “conservative” as the rest, especially former democrat
Ricky La Raza Perry.

“Trump is a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, pro-ACA, pro-gun control LIBERAL DEMOCRAT that hangs out with the clintons, and you’re bitching about Walker being a rino”.

He says he’s changed. You got any proof that he’s lying? He’s as conservative as any RINO running, and that’s all of them except Cruz. If Trump finally drops out every single supporter of his will throw their support to Cruz, who’s the only one running that has not trashed Trump because he’s whipping their asses.

I agree the only conservative is Cruz. While Trump is not a conservative in my opinion, he is to the right of Jeb, Perry, Rubio, and Hillary.

He says he’s changed.

True. He's pro traditional marriage, anti-abortion and pro 2nd amendment.

No, it's the slimeball eunuch liberals in the GOP establishment that are destroying us.

Donald Trump is a breath of fresh air. He's a bare knuckled fighter who isn't beholden to the Washington Cartel or anyone else, and they all know it. He wants to see this country restored to its innate greatness, and he's putting his money where his mouth is to see it done.

Yeah, he's brash, bold, outspoken, and even a bit rough around the edges, but Americans know a take-no-prisoners winner who loves his country when they see one. Our heroes have always been rough, tough, and gruff.

This man is the best thing that's happened to our side since Sarah Palin shook the left to its very foundations. Unlike Sarah, though, they won't be able to knock off Trump so easily.

Provided he doesn't make any major errors in his campaign, he's going to be the nominee, which means he'll be President. Bank on it.

I dont believe ANY politician that suddenly changes his views on every major issue just before seeking to be elected.

Shows how much you know about the guy. He's no Johnny-Come-Lately to conservative ideas. Here's Freeper Amntn commenting on Donald Trump’s book, “Time To Get Tough”:

Keep in mind Trump wrote this in 2011.

Chapter 1: Get Tough. Talks about the current government being weak and incompetent.

Chapter 2: We should have taken control of the oil in the Iraq war and prepaid ourselves, wounded troops and their families, and paid all medical expenses of the wounded.

Chapter 3: Tax China to save American jobs. Don’t allow them to manipulate their currency and keep them from stealing our technology.

Chapter 4: Taxes. Kill the death tax, kill corporate taxes, reduce taxes on capitol gains and dividends, simply the tax code with graduating % of income. Under $30,000 1% with a max being 15% for incomes $1 million and above.

Chapter 5: Cut the spending. Cut the waste, fraud, welfare. Drug test welfare recipients, make it short term unless elderly or disabled. Put people to work which will increase tax revenue. Quit letting China and OPEC steal from us.

Chapter 6: Strengthen American Muscle. He says “Your civil liberties mean nothing if you are dead. That’s why the single most important function of the government is national security.”

A. American interests come first.
B. Maximum firepower and military preparedness.
C. Only go to war to win.
D. Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.
E. Keep the technological sword razor sharp.
F. Prepare for threats before they materialize.
G. Respect and support our present and past warriors.

That is as far as I have read so far but later chapters include immigration and repealing Obamacare.

Instead of viewing the developments in the Republican race as separating the field on pro-amnesty and anti-amnesty, consider the race is breaking down between those people who speak out against the Republican establishment and those who do not. Viewed from this perspective, the results of Trump, Walker and Cruz (rapidly improving therefore included) versus Jeb Bush are equally well explained.

Of these three candidates, Trump has been only a talker. Trump has been the hypocrite but Cruz and Walker have actually fought the fight, they have put their political reputations and their political careers on the line in public confrontations with the establishment. Walker took on the establishment in his state and won, Cruz took on the establishment in Washington and lost that battle but history has yet to tell us whether he has won the war. He claims, with some justice, that his battles won Republicans the Senate. While Walker and Cruz were battling, Trump was contributing to Democrats, registering as a Democrat, declaring himself for abortion, and praising Hillary. Eventually, Trump's support will fade away as the public tire of his act and the party will turn to those men who have tempered their politics in the real fires that count.

Trump remains the wrong messenger with the right message.

Looks like Trump is more conservative than Jose Bush, Rubio and Walker put together..... Copied this from your earlier post: Here’s Freeper Amntn commenting on Donald Trump’s book, “Time To Get Tough”:

Chapter 1: Get Tough. Talks about the current government being weak and incompetent.

first of all, weddings are for personal friends. the reagan pic is a white house function; presidents are the president for all americans. until this current guy, that was generally true.

and it’s obvious that he is certainly is enjoying The Clenis more than The Gipper.

I wonder what a FreeRepublic poll would look like?

John Rob built the software to run them here, and I used to see them at FR from time to time. Last one I remember was a poll that Sarah Palin won. Can't even remember what the question was, now.

Be nice to have FR polls again. It would give a good sense of where the Freeper community stands on candidates and issues.

Why would any American support anyone besides Trump?

Or Cruz?

“I’m not going to villify all immigrants with the broad brush”

Notice how Rand conveniently left out the key word, "ILLEGAL". Just like any liberal does.

Are you referring to Cruz and Trump as the ones who will see it through?
