America and the Republican Party are dead. America was murdered by Barack Obama and his supporters. The Republican Party was murdered by John Boehner, Mitch McConnell and the US Chamber of Commerce. Bringing them back to life is not something we should bank on happening. The number of people who see America as being on the wrong track hovers above 65% and it has not been less than 61% since mid-February. Approval ratings for the Republican Party are at historic lows. Both are dead.
Doctors are advised to, “First do no harm.” Their job is to help mend and cure the injured and sick. Since they are not miracle workers we cannot expect them to resurrect the dead. Nevertheless, when a body is dead, it is dead and nothing can be done to bring it back or harm it. This is why those who do autopsies don’t have much to worry about – they can’t lose a patient.
Donald Trump can’t kill a dead body. He very well might not be able to bring America and the Republican Party back to life; but what harm can he do to a dead body?
Trump is the guy who is at the door of the morgue saying, “Hey, I know these guys. Can I try to bring them back to life?” Where is the harm in giving him a chance to try his hand at performing a miracle?
The rest of the Republican field contains some very skilled and attractive candidates; but none has the potential to bring “come back” know how to Washington to the degree Trump can. When the situation is as bad as we all know it is; we don’t want to nominate a person that cannot think in dynamic terms. We can’t afford to look good but lose as we have so many times before.
Ted Cruz is a very good man; but he will be eviscerated by the Democrats using the same old playbook they chopped up ordinary Republican candidates with before. He cannot win. Dr. Carson would get the Herman Caine treatment even if they had to make things up out of whole cloth. Scott Walker is just not ready.
This leaves us with Donald Trump, a guy who is hated by the Chamber of Commerce. He is far from perfect but will make the Russians the Chinese and the Iranians listen and is all of these are good things.
“Paging Doctor Trump, please report to the morgue immediately!”
Trump can’t kill a dead body.
Damn Boehner, McConnell and the rest of the Republicrats who stand by while Skeeter fiddles.
But rises again, harder and stronger.
So Trump is a crazy guy who shows up at the morgue asking to try to raise the dead? Seriously, that's your argument in favor of Trump?
We always wanted to take the high road.
We wanted the purest conservative
No negotiations
I would rather the dems win then ......
We have gone too far. Unless we get someone who will fight back, drown them out, and ultimately DO THINGS without fear of “never winning another election” ITS OVER
"I find your lack of Faith in the Trump disturbing! Thus provening that you must be GOPe!"
Dr. Carson would get the Herman Caine treatment even if they had to make things up out of whole cloth.
Scott Walker is just not ready.
This leaves us with Donald Trump
Pretty much sums it up.
It is NEVER to late to STOP and say NO MORE.
Change course and continue to fight for the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES of America.
We allow stupidity to rule out of ennui or not wanting to call a spade a spade. WAKE UP!
IS ANYTHING TOO HARD FOR GOD?
If that were true, then the ideal candidate would be someone qualified to retaliate against the murdering demonicrats and RINOs. Such candidate doesn't sound like Donald.
That is really, REALLY missing the point.
No, it’s not. The point, as I understand it, is that things are so bad that there is no risk in seeing what Trump will do, because he couldn’t make things worse. “What harm can he do?” is not an argument in favor of a Presidential candidate. Or at least shouldn’t be.
Are you calling Jesus crazy?
He raised Lazarus.
Lost long ago imho. I think the GOP was terminal with H.W. Shrub, who nominated the icon of private property rights David Souter to the SC.
You're about 4-6 years late.
America is gone.
Only the name remains.
“”America was murdered by Barack Obama and his supporters””
Which included Trump for a good while too.
2009: Trump was praising Obama to the hilt for saving the economy from Republicans
Well, I’m Jewish, so....
Regardless, leaving Jesus aside for the moment, I think we can both agree that anyone else who shows up at the morgue trying to raise the dead is crazy.
If the National (you didn’t build that) Socialists and international Marxists/Totalitarians have their way...Trump will be at the morgue, his assets confiscated and his children and grandchildren consigned to debt slavery. How dare he insult the uniparty pyramid.
10. “Divide and govern” is a maxim consecrated by the experience of ages, and should be as familiar in its use to every politician…
11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

And your prescription is Trump? The realityTV star guy that is best known for uttering "You're Fired"? In a country full of people who are worried whether they are going to keep their jobs?
Trump might get a decent percentage of middle age to older white male voters - and that's about it. That just isn't enough anymore to win general elections. He'd bomb with Hispanics and African Americans (despite his silly claims he would win those demographics) and the gender gap would be staggering as Trump would lose the womens vote by probably 15-20%.
Trump is not going to be the GOP nominee, mostly because pretty much everyone who has even the slightest lick of political savvy knows he couldn't win a general election. Same reason Palin didn't run in 2012. She might do well in the primaries, but knows she couldn't win a general. She may be applauding Trump's run for office, but I bet even she knows he could not win a general election.
