I think it’s going to be very important for most of the candidates to team up to attack Trump during the debates.
This guy has to be stopped, he will destroy us, I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck.
That’s funny. I feel the same about stopping Jeb Bush.....at all costs - whatever it takes.
Yeah, everyone team up against Trump to help Jeb. No thanks.
He's been very successful at tapping into people's anger AND there's a lot to be angry about. He says what people are thinking and does so for a lot of people who feel voiceless.
Can that become a successful campaign strategy and, if it can, how does some govern from that standpoint?
In the past, I would have said no. But who knows anymore?
“I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck.”
That’s an unfortunate spelling of schtick, not to mention the condescending notion that you are the smartest boy at the party.
Gaffer’s answer to you is what this is about.
Stop ¡Yeb! at all costs.
Trump beats a Bush anyday.
I’m going to vote Cruz in the primary, unless Trump is the only way to stop ¡Yeb!
Heh! That’ll be something these pack of nitwits, excepting Cruz of course, will never be heard saying about Hillary! “She has to be stopped! She will destroy us!”
Sigh.... the republican every single one of them except Ted Cruz are all establishment turds(rino’s) and will be a RINO if elected. Open borders, etc, business as usual for the globalists. No thanks, Trump or Cruz are the only ones worth a shit. If they dont make it its no use voting.
Candidates who support amnesty are far, far more of a threat.
Yeah right. You want a pansy like Linda Graham, or a criminal like Jeb Bush? Trump is bringing important issues to light that the low information voters (like you) aren't aware of.
TexasFreep, how many threads are you going to make this point on? The press is ganging up on Trump and he is rising in the polls. If the other candidates pile on him he will merely point out that THEY are establishment wanting the status quo of cheap labor and open borders and he continues to go up.
The way to defeat Trump is to be the legitimate voice and champion of the base. Argue that if elected the wall will be built, the border secured, employers of illegals aggressively prosecuted and only then will the remaining illegals be dealt with. If Cruz or Walker or Fiorina take this position they have the credibility to steal away the Trump momentum.
Any of the others try this and they will be exposed as the pandering lying hypocrites they are. Remember `08 wit McCain, “I’ll build them the damned wall!” That inspired loyalty and confidence - NOT.
Trump is winning because he speaks what the base feels. Because HE is being heard, WE are being heard. Nobody else wants to embrace that message.
If you want Trump stopped, then beat him the easy way, convince American patriots that you are to his right on illegal immigration. Job done. Until then,he’s #1. That simple.
Hopefully, it's too late. The enemies of US citizens in the media and the Republican Party threw their "hail Mary pass" with McCain. It turns out they were clueless about how much people despise McCain and it backfired.
I brought up another thought (thinking while typing, always a bit risky). It concerns Trump's peer group, born from (approx.) 1940 - 1945. We've lived our whole lives with highest expectations for the US, we're being DESTROYED by the anti-US citizen slime in DC and we vote. I'd wager our age group will be huge for Trump. In attitude, we're more like Trump than we are like our peers in politics.
Just think what would happened if someone that was more polished spoke out against the establishment! The fact that Trump is doing so well shows how unhappy the Republicans are with the establishment. And right now anyone in office is tainted—including Cruz. I like Cruz but he screwed up on TPP.
Walker is the next decent option—he has taken it to the Unions, but has been a waffle on the border. He has the big donors to pay back with cheap labor.
Do I want Trump to be President—HELL NO. But I’d vote for him over Jeb anyday. If Jeb is the nominee I’ll vote 3rd party—I won’t waste my vote again.
Fool’s errand and a colossal waste of time and energy as Trump is sure to put his foot in his mouth a little too deep between now and then.
Nothing is as it seems in politics. The Dems with a complicit media can take Donald out at any time if they really felt it necessary, but why? They’re waiting for exactly what you want Pubs to do, self destruct trying to break Trump.
Say nothing, let Trump focus on the Dems problems, like my tag say’s. I hope he can entertain us until about Mid 2016.
The biggest loser is John McCain. He’s been blindsided by the dearth of support he’s gotten from his fellow Pubs. His support never lasted more than the current day’s news cycle, when all the 15 second sound bites were in.
Instead you prefer Bush's shitck?
They aren't falling for it, they are enjoying it. He serves as a stalking horse. He brings the issues that the media has facilitated the hiding of to the forefront.
The media has structured the narrative so that the Dems never face the music. Trump's issue is forcing them to face the music in the reporting of these issues.
Will conservative vote for him instead of Cruz? I wouldn't but who knows -- stay tuned.
But in the mean time, I have no interest seeing the more conservative of the candidates attack him. This is where cruz is smart. Let it play our for a while. I don't want a concentrated effort on our side to end up benefiting Jeb, Huck, Linda and the others.
“This guy has to be stopped, he will destroy us, I can’t believe so many conservatives are falling for his shitck.”
LOL! Good imitation of a Walker supporter! Had me going for a minute.
“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.
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 think it’s going to be very important for most of the candidates to team up to attack Trump during the debates.”
They attack and he attacks back even harder.
And gains more votes.
It hasn’t worked so far.
