On a practical side, no one in 2012 held as many state primary leads ax Trump, or as long. Comparisons to 2008 with Guliani or 2012 to Gingrich don't come close.
Most important, no one in any previous primary ever had the "single issue" that illegal immigration has become. And Trump has produced a clear, viable plan---Gingrich or Cain or Perry didn't have such an issue.
Yes, and Washington is the Augean Stable.
No doubt he holds the Trump card.
Well, it’s still a little early LOL!
There’s just SO much that can happen.
It’s undeniable he’s in the catbird seat now though- and it’s deservedly so.
I just can’t wait until President Trump takes office...
I’m so excited by him and his ways...we haven’t seen this since the days of Reagan...
I don’t want to wait, I want to vote in this Nov. 2015 elections and start the ball rolling...
Trump/Cruz 2016!!! Attorney General Trey Gowdy!!!
We are fortunate to have a number of good contenders in the Republican mix.
But, Trump has to prove to me how much he cares for the unborn for me to care about supporting him.
This is the one that blows me away. I actually watched this one. Then I watched it replayed again and again and again.
And damn if in each replay Ramos doesn't rudely interrupt out of turn and refuse to wait for his turn AFTER Trump had obviously called on someone else. Each time they play it, it's exactly that way, that my eyes see and my ears hear: Ramos interrupts and is rude.
And damn if the media isn't trying to convince me, who actually saw it, that it didn't happen that way, that it was Ramos' turn and Trump refused to let him speak.
The media has such strong belief in their power to bewitch/silence audiences -- that they would say immediately after we saw something that we didn't see what we saw.
It makes me despise them even more.
IN before Nick!!! lol
Bttt
Here’s all you need to know about why Trump is the next President, in two quotes:
Howard Fineman: “the party that is out there waiting to be born. It is a yet-to-be-defined mashup of Black Lives Matter; pro-immigration activism; non-European cultural consciousness; tolerance of all religions, lifestyles and genders; genuine urgency about the fate of the planet; confidence in technology, social media and the sharing economy...”
George Will: “The white percentage of the electorate has been shrinking for decades and will be about 2 points smaller in 2016 than in 2012. If the Republicans’ 2016 nominee does not do better than Romney did among nonwhite voters, he will need 65 percent of the white vote. Romney did even slightly worse among Asian-Americans than among Hispanics. Evidently minorities generally detected Republican ambivalence, even animus about them.”
The enemy’s great weakness is overconfidence. Despite shrinking on a percentage basis, the white population is still a huge majority, so much so that only 65% of us can dominate an election. If we voted like blacks, we would rule the nation in perpetuity.
Howard Fineman’s fantasy and George Will’s nihilism will both push whites to bloc voting. After that, the “inevitable future” won’t happen, and the “party waiting to be born” will be aborted.
