Perhaps the DNC is looking to recruit Trump for 2016.

A back-handed hit piece.

Yawn.

No, that’s why a lot of Dems say they’d vote for him. He’s got all of their positions without the black racism.

The only merit Salon has by evaluating republicans is their wrong headedness. Take whatever they have to say and look at it through the wrong end of the telescope. It will be upside down and far away.

“...Not just because of his virulent xenophobia and nationalism, but because of how damaging a President Trump would be to America’s reputation in the world.”

Stopped right there. Only leftists care about how the rest of the world views us — a completely irrelevant concept.

Walker at Graham levels in Monmouth Poll. I thought he’d be stronger, but he may be out before Huckabee.

Left figuring now their only shot is to make people think that Trump is far right . . . the old Goldwater smear.

Trump is the least terrifying because he’s least likely to irretrievably hand our country over to third worlders.

Yep, hardly anything they wrote was true. Trump enjoys wide support from the GOP and independents AND a sizable portion of DemocRats.

Frankly I find the whole thing to be odd.

FReepers said the Media gives John McCain all the coverage because they want him to be the nominee.

FReepers said the media gives Mitt Romney all the coverage because they want him to be the nominee.

FReepers say the media gives Trump all the coverage because they don’t want him to be the nominee.

?

When the civil war starts, we have to remember the hatred Salon has for Americans.

What an Obama supporter response. You think that no one can legitimately tell the truth or criticize trump.

Idiots want to save America? Then Trump is the man. I believe the ticket should be Trump/Cruz. Trump would get things done now not in a few years like the rest of the lineup.

In fact, just about every other major GOP candidate is probably more threatening to progress than Trump.

Just say "Socialism", Conor. Come on, you can do it. Don't write such a hit piece and then get diffident about throwing the payoff pitch. :)

This article is setting the progressives up to vote for Trump, much as many voted for Raegan.

The dirty little secret is that conservatives are only a small part of those Fed up with politics as usual.

um... did you read the article?

Because is stated just the opposite of what you just said.

The article laid out how Trump is the least conservative candidate on many issues and how it wouldn’t be all that bad from a liberals perspective to have Trump as president.
