He’s not gonna win the nomination and heaven forbid he does because he would not win the election, his unfavorables are too high. I give he and Rand the poorest chances in a general election out of the whole lot. Romney lost by 4, I’ll not pretend Jerb would lose in a landslide because freepers hate him. Last I saw Jerb polled even with the rats, Walker polled even, Trump lagged behind. Yes, I know, dirty lies of course as are all polls with results we don’t like. Like those 2012 polls that I didn’t believe but they were right.
I’m surprised you’re so favorable to Trump. You’re usually all over con men like white on rice. Walker and Cruz are the serious conservatives in the race, this isn’t 2012 with it’s empty cupboard. It makes a mockery of the situation for anyone to back Trump with those men in the running and I don’t care how many pretty things we like to hear come spouting out of his mouth. His third party musings alone paint him as nothing but a self-serving narcissist.
Yes, I’m angry, I’m angry the spotlight isn’t on the men it belongs on, while people cheer empty words from a man who was pals with the Clintons not long ago. Governor Walker has walked the walked and won reform (and a beat back a coup attempt and won reelection) in a slightly D State. Ted Cruz may be the sharpest man and solidest conservative to run in decades. We have a real chance to put one of them in the White House. I’d hate to see it squandered thanks to Mr. Hair Piece.
“Condit’s Eskimo Bro Kasich,”
Haha, what? Kasich banged Chandra Levy?
Rush went on air Friday insinuating that the GOP hit job on Trump was done by Kelly and FNC.
Waiting for Rush to call Megyn Kelly a slut next.(He has been on her show before and treated very kindly.)
She asked them all tough questions that the nominee will be sure to be asked. She and Brett, who I really like too, did their jobs.
Trump claiming that Kelly went on an attack mission on him because she was having her period may be the big slip that many were predicting.
Megyn Kelly is NO Rosie O Donnell.
Her show is the best one on FNC.
Trump took on the wrong babe this time.
I’ll say again, as long as Trump remains in the race as it stands, I cannot see how he loses the nomination. With respect to high unfavorables, it won’t particularly matter, since ANY Republican getting the nomination immediately walks in with 40%+ negatives. I think we’re paying too much attention to what the media and political elites are saying, TELLING us Trump is unpopular because THEY want him to be so, not because he truly is. If he WAS, he wouldn’t have the traction and pull that he currently has. He remains numero uno in the primary polls.
Trump, in my estimation has become one of the most remarkable individuals involved in politics in recent decades and has tapped into a gargantuan level of visceral disgust with the political class that has allowed this country to descend to a Dante-esque level of Hell. Add to that, it is clear he doesn’t NEED this. He could walk away from this tomorrow, no fuss, no muss, and return to his business affairs. This is in utter contrast to real con men narcissists like Willard, McQueeg, Zero or El Jebbe, whom have little else in life.
We’ve seen virtually no courageous leaders (who are anti-PC) in decades on the GOP side, just degrees of gutless weasels, getting more and more repulsive by the year (to the point that I can’t seriously consider myself a GOP loyalist, but an Independent Constitutional Conservative). I’m personally fed up beyond description, and it’s why I feel Trump is an incredible breath of fresh air.
We’ve got horrific, nation-ending problems that may simply be unfixable by even our (few) best political figures (Cruz, Walker) and it may require a unique, outside-the-box solution and leader to deal with it, and Trump looks to be precisely that individual. A lot of folks are waking up to that realization as well.
Some folks are saying he is Perot, Part Deux, but Perot’s run was largely borne out of his hatred for Bush, Sr. and he literally panicked into quitting the race at the point when he found himself in 1st place (he didn’t want to win, he wanted to screw Poppy), which showed what a fake he was. This is not Trump at all.
We simply cannot dismiss Trump out of hand and the movement he has built, and the fact that so many people are hungering for a candidate who speaks the truth, bluntly and to the point. If he helps to utterly obliterate the current and massively corrupt bipartisan cabal controlling politics in this country, he will have done us an immense service.
As an aside, I’m still supporting Cruz, don’t get me wrong, but at present, I could cast a vote for Trump in the general election.

Trump may be this century's Willim Henry Harrison, who was the first to run a truly modern campaign with slogans and advertising, appealing to the "common man."
To paraphrase Yoda, "the anger is high in this nation." We are way beyond a Cruz being able to come in and fix anything with traditional political approaches. EVEN if he wins a close election, the inside the beltway sabotage units would make him ineffective. Only someone who can go around this structure will have a chance.
