As his poll numbers steadily keep him in a comfortable first place in the crowded GOP field, and he packs stadiums—receiving raucous applause in Alabama and along the Mexican border—his fiery and divisive rhetoric has taken on a new meaning. His positions have now become the focal point of the GOP field and all candidates must respond to Trump before they can proceed.
What he and his supporters say can no longer be considered a joke. During his rally in Mobile, Alabama screams of “white power” could be heard from the audience. And last week, two white ex-cons from Boston beat up a homeless Hispanic man, and upon their arrest they told the police, “Donald Trump was right, all these illegals need to be deported.”

Well, OK...we get a Ted Cruz as the nominee. What happens then?
Another paranoid race-baiter ...
They love the bombast, the arm-waving and the red-meat attacks but by large, many of them have no real idea what Trump stands for or let me rephrase that, what he currently “stands” for.
True.. or accurately.. what he SAYS he stands for...
Trump is untested, unproven and unconfirmed... “as WHAT?”
As a Conservative or even a republican.. could be, OR NOT..
When a Tested, Proven, Confirmed conservative republican is running as well... the REAL Deal..
Proven by what he and Mike Lee do daily in the Senate.. AND OTHER PLACES..
the one getting most of the campaign contributions.. TED CRUZ..
Mike Lee the BEST option for VeeP of anybody...
Maybe you heard, screams of “Free Bird”?
People across the board are tired of the fundamental transformation.
Whether people like Trump or not, he's exposing Jebusite and the other GOPe for what they are.
Trump is FORCING DIALOG on the issues conservatives hold dear.
Everybody says that only a moderate can ever win. Well Trump is kicking moderate ass and the "moderate" GOPe and the liberals don't like it.
What good is (supposedly) "winning" an election, when your side sides with the opposition anyway?
Maybe, it's like you say, that we will be driving off a political cliff. Well I guess it really won't matter then. The Dems have swung far left, Trump is presenting the rights position. The people will choose which obvious direction they want to go and if we go over a cliff, well it didn't matter anyway, because the GOPe is just playing paddycake with the Dems anyway.
And what have you heard from most of the other candidates?
Open borders.
One way free trade.
It takes a village (Kasich).
Cruz is really the only other choice.
Unfortunately, Jebby has already been chosen by the elites.
8 more years of Turkey Neck Mitch and Johnny Walter Boner.
A number of Freepers were at the mobile rally
Besides effective racialists of the white variety are much more subtle
White power is made up movie crap or 80s skinhead rant
Believed by folks who think Deliverance was a documentary
His supporters said?!! Few of his supporters have said as many racially motivated, anti-American White things as Obama himself. His feet should not be held to anything for what anybody else--other than one of those he has appointed to office--has said. But it is well past time, his feet were held to the fire for what he has said, over and over again, since his days as a "Community Organizer" in Rev. Wright's congregation.
Anything further posted by this racist needs to be read (if you care to waste your time - I do not) be read in light of his other idiotic ramblings!
I was there. Didn’t hear anyone shouting anything racist. I know if I did, me and the folks who were there with me,we would have quashed it quick and fast.
What's the Spanish word for "chutzpah?"
Don't care.
I used to be a Walker supporter. I don't want a Hillary administration, and neither Cruz nor Walker have been catching fire with the electorate. Say anything you want about him, Trump inspires passion. I would rather go with a moderately conservative guy who looks like he might win, than a solidly conservative guy who is unable to inspire enough people to show up for him.
Show me a Cruz rally which mostly fills up a stadium and gets millions of viewers on TV, and I may change my opinion.
True fear. The left knows what could result from their misrule.
Well, two years ago a bunch of Republicans running for office TOLD me they were conservatives, that they would fight and repeal Obamacare, investigate Benghazi, IRS political activity, Fast and Furious, and the scandalous VA.
They spouted this constantly, saying as soon as they had the SENATE, along with the House, all these things plus MUCH, MUCH more would be done.
Last year they asked me to help, and I made phone calls and wrote people for them in September and October of 2014, working my tail off. I gave a lot of money to them, too.
WHAT did I get, Steve???
So maybe Trump is a liar, too... Or maybe he’s just a liberal who has seen the light, and is going to do something about it. Maybe not.
But I will tell you this...
I WILL NEVER, EVER vote for ANYONE who is a Republican and asks me to trust them again. I want to see them do something—anything expect oppose Trump because he’s not “one of them”. When they earn back my trust maybe I’ll reconsider. But—I’m not going to just take a RINOs/GOPe’s word again. Since they back stabbed me and millions of others who supported them, I don’t trust ‘em, and since they’re so against Trump that makes me MORE for Trump.
Trumps rallies are being “ tea bagged” by leftist shills
They did the same thing to the Tea Party rallies
A couple of stupid Lyndon LaRouche signs got all the media press in a rally of tens of thousands of orderly patriots
Cajones?
Impudencia?
‘by large, many of them have no real idea what Trump stands for’
Trump stands for building a wall, Steve.
A wall.
