Trump can't actually win, can he?
Los Angeles Times ^ | September 6, 2015 | Doyle McManus

Posted on 09/06/2015 10:19:29 AM PDT by Biggirl

I talked with Republican wise men last week — sober establishment strategists who have seen many presidential campaigns come and go — to ask them how long the improbable popularity of Donald Trump can last. Reassure me, I said: He can't actually win, right? Their answers surprised me.

Good afternoon.

[Disclosure, I'm supporting Ted Cruz]

Depends on how stupid conservatives are...

Stupid enough to think that voting in large majorities in the House, and a majority in the Senate would stop 0bama, and turn things around.

Stupid no, duped maybe, not going to do it again, definitely.

What the hell is a “conservative” anymore? Just an over used meaningless cliche reserved for wonky nerdy political junkies, IMO. Just another way for simplistic minds to put things in nice little boxes.

I will no longer use the outdated term to describe myself. Instead, I will call myself an “ABAD” (Anything But a Democrat). Or maybe, “TRBA” (Traditional Red Blooded American).

I would prefer that Trump describe himself that way, rather than becoming loyal to republicans or trying to please ideological rigid conservatives. But I refuse to reject Trump based on someones “conservative” litmus test.

Link me to the GOP-controlled bills sitting on Obama’s desk that cut off the taxpayers’ money to illegals.

The GOP isn’t for small government. This is their last chance to reform themselves, Stop giving them a pass.

I think that your post pretty much sums up why most of those that support Trump, myself included, do.

My time is important to me.. why waste it..

If your time was important, you wouldn't be spending it spamming these threads all day and night with your gibberish.

You were asked to produce one specific example of Trump saying he would raise our taxes, after spamming that he would, and you could not provide one.

Trump’s a democrat? So what.


Ah!.. you asked so I will tell you..

ALL democrats are traitors.. even if they are stupid..
They support a Party intent on treason.. for over a hundred years..

Not only intent on treason but have been performing it for a century or more.. AND getting away with it..
Because America has been and is controlled by Crony Capitalists.. BOTH parties..

They keep it going the good guy, bad guy routine..
BUT whether in power or not.. Democrats despise America, Republicans love it..
The Crony’s ALLOW the democrats to exist as Traitors..
To offset a republicans cleaning out of the Cronyism..

They cannot have THAT.. WHY Donald Trump is EVEN running..
Because Ted Cruz would clean house.. of Cronyism..

You asked.. so sue me..

Lots of so-called consevatives would lose rent money along with car, clothing, jewelry, appliance, prescrption drug, law services, expenditures for public education and God-knows-whatever else sales and so, with Democrat friends in the same businesses conspire to keep them all here and the ignorant public be damned.

Gibberish?.. What vetting of TRUMP have you done?..

AT least gibberish is an attempt to vetting..
You are like an attack dog saved from the dog pound..
Accept anything PRO Trump.. deny anything Con Trump..

And I mean anything.. and you say I propose gibberish?..
Speak one logical concept please.. “it won’t hurt a bit”..

Thatcher was from a purely socialist country..
So socialist Thatcher was also socialist-lite..
She believe in some socialist concepts..

English schools teach socialism with dragon fury..
Socialism is merely the symptoms of the political disease of democracy..

Thatcher was a “democrat”... democrats are for democracy thats why they are called democrats..

on fools and retards...

Why do I say that?... You’re “Projecting”..

Well, they where stupid enough to go along with the GOPe on Bush I and II, Dole, McCain and Romney. So stupid is as stupid does.

I would love to see Cruz as the nominee. At this point it is highly unlikely. I have NO problem with Trump if he builds the wall and repeals the 1965 immigration act and replaces it with a more native friendly program. With all his many faults, a strong border and a reasonable tax system will solve many pf out most pressing concerns.

Without immigration reform, real reform not the crap the establishment wants, we are doomed as a representative Republic. We will become Argentina at best and maybe even Venezuela.
