Why Trump?
1. Illegal immigration is the only issue; if it's not stopped soon, America will become like California -- a demographic one-party state.
2. Politics is about name-recognition and none of the other candidates besides Trump has the name recognition to challenge Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton.
Therefore, Trump is the only candidate with a chance to win who has promised to do the only thing that matters.
See! You deliberately changed the context of the question. Either that or you are totally incompetent as a writer in expressing your opinion. One or the other.
Your words: “Oh, hell, no, a nude model who does lesbian shots as First Lady? Not relevant at all. /s”
You are inferring that Mrs. Trump will do lesbian shots as first lady. That is what you said.
Obviously you’ve never been a model.
Obviously you ignore that the human body is a beautiful creation and has been sculpted and painted for centuries, male and female. Spend a day at the Louvre, you might be surprised.
Obviously you’re so restricted in your thinking that you spend your days judging people by your standards, which include you reading and observing nude pictures so that you can criticize and condemn others.
Sorry, I am not interested in your outrage, which I find out of line.
“Methinks the lady doth protest too much!”
Obviously you have seen these images of which you speak.
Do you believe my itemized list of Donald Trump's liberal past is of concern?
You’re not very subtle, are you?
Nope. Not at all, LOL.
Name me a conservative who will promise to build the wall and get it done. I have worked hard to get “conservatives” elected. They arrive in Washington and become RINOS. I don’t “trust” anyone, I just see some who have talents which can and should be used wisely. That is not happening. I think with Trump there might be a crack of light showing through the wall of Washington’s rules. He doesn’t owe anyone and I don’t think can be bought. I’m willing to take the risk that he’s the real deal. I also like the fact that he’s anti Political Correctness. I refuse to be told what to say or not say, and to be ordered what to think.
But there are valid concerns with a candidate's wife having such a lurid past. Firstly, Christians are far less likely to support the candidate if his wife is a tramp. That is sad but true. Secondly, supporters of the dim candidate [Hillary?] would exploit said images for political gain by publishing them and making sure all have seen them. Some may not mind, but they also don't mind that Trump is a liberal. It wold definitely hurt Trump's chances of winning the general election.
I find that question irrelevant as Trump is a liberal who I do not believe will ever build such a wall. It's a campaign promise made by a liberal who is trying to appeal to conservatives, nothing more.
This is not a one issue election. The next president will likely nominate someone to the USSC. I don't want a liberal in that position, you apparently don't mind.
Really? Asking where you stand on abortion is immature? I notice that you never actually address the issue.
Coulter was using a deliberately outrageous statement to draw attention to the fact she was extremely happy Trump had opened up the subject verboten to all in the political class, that of illegal “immigrants.”
Coulter has along history of making outrageous statements and will then later confirm that she meant exactly what she said.
Yet there are those, like you, who would try to nail her to your overzealous cross of perfection for having dared to use such a “sensitive” example. GROW UP!
60 MILLION DEAD BABIES is not an "overzealous cross of perfection," unless it doesn't matter to you.
Immigration MUST be dealt with in order to secure our Sovereignty for future generations.
Unless we stop murdering a baby EVERY 24 SECONDS we need immigration or we face an even bigger demographic problem. You do realize that they come here and take jobs that used to go to teenagers don't you? Teenagers that aren't around anymore.
How strange that I never hear you even vaguely mention the IMPORTANT things, only the nit picking slivers of useless misinterpretations that gall you.
So, the American Holocaust isn't important to you? Caring about the sanctity of life is "nitpicking"?
I've been here a long time, I've made quite a few FRiends and more than my share of enemies (many of whom are no longer here), but only the bona fide trolls believe that my well-known stance on pro-life issues is "nitpicking" or unimportant.
If Jim Robinson wants me to stop pushing the pro-life, pro-morality agenda on Free Republic, I will happily oblige and be on my way. It's Jim's forum and he can change course as he sees fit. But, until that day comes I am not going to sit here and pretend that the ongoing slaughter of innocent Americans isn't the most important issue at hand.
I invite you to read back through my posts over the past ten years, my positions haven't changed. I've never even said that I was fundamentally opposed to voting for Trump (though I doubt he will actually be the nominee). However, I REFUSE to be told that pro-life issues will "have to wait" one more time, I have heard that in EVERY election since Reagan left office. How can I expect someone who stands by and does nothing while innocent babies are slaughtered to actually protect America? Why should expect God to bless an America that sits by idly while this happens?
So far the Republicans have been voting with the Democrats in spite of all their promises “if we can only get control of the Senate.” HA! Biggest liars in the universe. Not one thing done to stop Obama and now once again McConnell CAN’T defund PP. And you question Trumps loyalty to America? Call him liberal. What in the hell do you call all the liberal Republicans who have voted everything the way Obama wants? What do you classify them as?
I’m through with Will, the Kraut, and all the others including Fox. Mark Levin and one or two others seem to have their heads screwed on straight. We’ll see where it goes from here, but I am beyond disgusted, particularly with all who want to go down the same road listening to promises by people who CAN’T deliver. Trump CAN deliver if he wants to. There is that little thing called Executive Order.

Straw head in your case.

Unless she gets out before Obama leaves office, Ginsburg will almost certainly retire or die.
Kennedy, Scalia and Breyer are all in their late 70s.
There is a very good chance that the next president will appoint three or four justices.
And these people would happily put that decision in the hands of lifelong liberal Donald Trump.
But hey, he said he would build a wall so we're supposed to be impressed.
I'm not.
Rush nailed it the other day:
**So here we have — let’s take a look at this — Jeff Greenfield acknowledging what a mess of this country Barack Obama has made of it and what a mess he’s made of his party. Over here you got the Republicans desperately trying to figure out what to do. What is so hard about this? Focusing on Trump, trying to come up with anti-Trump strategies. You know, why don’t you people in the Republican Party assess the national mood, learn the fact that nobody is happy with what’s happening. Well, very few people are. And make your target liberalism and the Democrat Party instead of zeroing in on one particular candidate.
It’s not gonna look good trying to take out one of your own. Even Trump may not really be a Republican — some people think he’s not — he’s still running as one. If you guys start coordinating all your fire to take out another Republican, that’s not the problem. Donald Trump is not why this country’s in the mess it’s in. Neither is Scott Walker. Neither is Ted Cruz. Neither is Rand Paul. Neither is Jeb Bush.
None of the Republicans running, any of them, are responsible for the mess that we are in. None of them have done one thing to endanger the future for your kids and grandkids. That’s all on the Democrat Party. That is all on Barack Obama. This country has moved so far left, it’s moved farther left that anybody ever dreamed it would in ways it was never founded to go. You’ve got a built-in enemy, Barack Obama, Democrat Party failure. If you don’t want to look at it as an enemy, look at it as an opportunity. You have a golden opportunity, you’ve had it ever since Obamacare, Republicans. You’ve had an opportunity to draw a distinction between yourselves and the mess that this country has become.
Your fingerprints are not on it, yet. And you have a golden opportunity here to identify with and form a bond with a majority of the American voters, who desperately want this stuff stopped. They want Obamacare repealed. They want the southern border shut down. They want this economy to become the world dominant leading economy once again. They want this country to be what it was. We’ve already been there. We’ve already done the “what it can be.” We’re going in the wrong direction. This country needs to be restored. The Republican Party’s the natural alternative to turn to.
You have a built-in opportunity. You have a built-in set of circumstances. You can run against the status quo, which nobody wants. The reason they can’t, they may not really be opposed to it. I mean, if you can’t run against this stuff — and by this stuff, I mean, we’re being governed here by a very ruthless minority. The American people are being governed against the will of the majority of people in this country. All the Republican Party has to do identify with it.**
Hell, I'm scared enough by the appointments made by those describing themselves as lifelong conservatives.
Thanks for posting the list, it puts everything into a single easy to reference post.
Cruz is my preferred candidate but I have been inclined to give Trump the benefit of the doubt for all the reasons his supporters list. But I also remain suspicious for all the reasons you list here. He hasn’t disavowed his previous positions or, aside from abortion, described his evolution away from them. Its not enough to simply say someone has evolved, he should be able to explain how and why he evolved. I haven’t seen that from Trump yet.
He keeps saying he is “strong on women’s issues” but he has yet to explain what he means by that. What does he mean by that? He has said he is willing to de-fund the “bad” stuff that Planned Parenthood but will fund the “good” stuff that they supposedly do... what would that be? Why would we fund any of it? Cruz has said he will consider prosecution. Trump was apparently shocked by what he found out about them but can’t quite bring himself to reject them.
So... conservative? No. He is a populist and a nationalist. In our present condition a nationalist would be nice by comparison to what has gone before, but however much we may like some of what he says, he is not a conservative.
Cruz is the guy. He isn’t perfect, but he is almost perfect, he is head and shoulders above anyone we’ve seen in a couple of decades. He and Trump are the only two candidates I pay any attention to. As Trump begins to detail his positions it will become obvious if he is a one-issue candidate.
Immigration is, however, an issue of existential importance that all of the traditional politicians have failed or betrayed. The fact that he keeps reaching out to Cruz, means something too.
McCain survived all these years as a supposed conservative because he has that Loudmouth Uncle Harry persona that people interpret as conservatism. People are interpreting Trump’s persona as conservatism, similarly. I like him and after Obama its tempting to take a gamble on Trump. But, no, he has yet to establish that he is a born-again conservative.

Multiple personality disorder?
Just how many of you are there living in that little noggin?
Stupid doesn't begin to cover those covering for Ms. Trump's sexual diverseness. Obviously the Donald is pleased with it.
We've exposed so many leftist loon moral quirks on the part of the Trumps, you must be one of them, or you would be distressed.
As the other big fan of Executive Orders (that would be Zero Hope and Change in case you're wondering), EOs aren't worth the paper they're printed on if there's no funding for them.
**TRUMP IS A FRAUD**
The *fraud* is Obama. Simple to see.
Don’t waste your energy fighting DT ...... fight the vast left wing progressive radicals. Bring it to their feet.
We are on the same track, riding the same train. I simply think Trump has what it takes to break the political lock on power held by the coalition in place in Washington now.
I think he is the only one capable of saving this country and it has to be now.
“In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb driven cattle,
But a hero in the strife.
Lives of great men all remind us,
We can make our lives sublime,
And departing, leave behind us,
Footsteps on the sands of time......”
from A Psalm of Life, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
My father always said he’d rather wear out than rust out. I am my father’s daughter.
” EOs aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on if there’s no funding for them. “
Yep, or unless you have Drunkin Boner & McConnell in charge.
