While I agree...
God help us.
Cruz is my first choice.
But I’ll take Trump to destroy the Republican elites. Send them all into retirement.
Clean house of the RINOs.
Trump can actually win. Jeb can’t and that’s the only alternative (the guy with $120 raised) the GOPe is giving us.
Even Ronald Reagan being the exception took him 3 tries.
It’s true about the Donald and the press. Every time they attack him, he gets the better end of it. It’s another opportunity for him to read them the riot act, and people love it.

Trump for Precedent!
He has certainly changed the dialogue.
Well, they say the pendulum swings hard. If we’ve had enough, it will swing to the right and I’m fine with that! Meanwhile I’m backing Ted Cruz and I think Trump is too. It may work out great for us after all the fluff and bubble is gone.
I have to disagree with you on the stupidity part.
It’s outright corruption and crookedness. If it were stupidity they wouldn’t be getting away with it for so long. If Trump is a double agent, or vote splitter, they’ll be getting away with it for a lot longer.
Let’s be honest while we are at this. He is the only one who gets covered...for free, at that. Makes it look like the others are silent. They are not, but they certainly are not getting the benefit of media coverage like Trump. He shows up and they are ALL there, like moths to a lightbulb.
I don’t see how it’s possible for Trump to be any worse than:
Richard Nixon
Gerald Ford
Jimmy Carter
George HW Bush
Bill Clinton
George W Bush
Barack Hussein Obama
Or any of the other candidates for President that failed.
There is no way in the world that Trump could be any worse than those listed above. But he could be a helluva lot better. Maybe not as great as Ronald Reagan but great in his own way.
Trump for President - It’s Now Or Never
Cruz For Supreme Court
Carson For VP
Fiorina For Sec Of State
I too like Cruz but am afraid that he would be smeared as an extremist (like Goldwater) and lose to Hillary/Biden big time. Trump, on the other hand, would get a lot of Democrat votes, just as Reagan did, and would be odds on favorite to win the general election.
His policy ideas, opinions and experiences are much more apparent and more insightful in his CNN and MSNBC sit-down interviews than anything we are seeing of him on FOX.
His interviews and rallies are getting covered start to finish as opposed to FOX giving him the business with fits and starts and commercials, and sound bites. Trump’s more presidential like thoughtfulness and disposition is starting to show, in these quieter and more serious interview venues over the past couple of weeks.
In fact, the Morning Joe crowd and interviewer Mark Halprin all agreed Trump has turned the corner on looking presidential! Can you believe THAT? MSNBC? Mark and Jon Heidleman had just interviewed Trump, at Trump Towers yesterday or so. It was an informative exchange.
His rally persona is a different thing, but his interviews on the policy side are now where he is beginning to put some “meat on the bones”.
its a good first step to taking our country back.
Question: At this stage of the game, why would he want to be so specific to give his opponents ammunition to use against him. If he become the candidate, then that is the time to bring forth in detail the specifics.
Right now he has to do what it takes to win the nomination. IMHO!
I frankly like the fact that Trump is scaring the living sh*t out of both the D's and the R's. While I don't agree with Trump on everything, I do like the fact that he at least makes it plain what he's thinking.
Is he changing his stance on some things? Yes. There's plenty of history of Trump's statements out there where he says something one day, and the opposite the next. Is he the perfect candidate? No, but he's not taking sh*t from the media and he's pushing back on them and putting them on notice.
I think Trump's alot of fun to watch right now because of the impact he's having on the media and the D's and R's. I look forward to him continuing to make them quake in their boots for at least a few more months.
Shaking up Washington has been a long time in coming and Trump speaks for alot of people who've been disaffected by both political parties.
One last thing: I posted somewhere in the last month or so that Trump's support isn't just coming from the R side of the aisle, and that he in fact had broad based support within the blue collar/blue dog part of the Democrat party. That support is now starting to show up in the polls. Good. Make the D's nervous too!
Cruz was my first choice, but face it, he isn’t getting above 7%. I cannot understand why, but its real.
As for Trump not being completely conservative, I care more about honesty than positions now. Ive had far too many people push conservative positions and then simply march in lockstep with Obama.
What they say they are for is meaningless if I do not believe them.

Hillary goes after Jeb for saying Anchor Baby and Jeb slinks away and tries to cover his tracks and repent.
Trump says it and puts it into a Policy Statement and nothing from Hillary. Hmmmm.
