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.
What exactly is Trump going to "destroy" that you refer to? The Republican Party? They haven't been effective or responsive to their base for years now. And that includes me. I don't think conservatives are falling for his "shtick", as you call it. These people are what used to be called the "silent majority" when I was younger. They're angry at the establishment politicians who lie and say one thing to get themselves elected and then when they get into office, they fold like a cheap suit. Right now you can't tell the difference between McConnell and Boner and the democRATS. My impression is that these folks don't care so much about his individual positions as they do about his positive message about making America great again. After Obama's "hope and "change" turned out to be such a dud, they're looking for a real inspirational leader, not an anti-American one.
Isn't the whole point to win? Trump wants to win and he's come off the starting line and grabbed the lead in the polls because he has that goal in mind. The rest of the field of candidates in this marathon of a primary, look and sound like they want to lose. They're all whining about Trump being in the lead and not following the RNC "rules". Unless they step up to the plate and make their presence known and start saying and doing something to garner some support, Trump could ride his hard-charging style right into the nomination.
People are all upset about his various politically incorrect comments, but so far that doesn't seem to have negatively affected his rising poll numbers. When he said what he did about McCain, his poll numbers went up. Why? Because many Republicans don't like McCain themselves, regardless of whether he was a former POW or not. He has been a lousy Republican senator over the years. He represents the democRAT position more often than he does the Republicans. And he was the most God-awful presidential candidate in 2008 against Obama. Many people blame him for helping Obama get elected by doing such a downright lousy job representing the Republican positions.
Just think if we have Jeb against Hillary in the general campaign. We're all screwed. But if it is Trump against Hillary in the general election campaign, Hillary will be screwed. I'm just sayin'....
