ROVE was on fox and friends this am doing the same song then went over to Fox Business.

He and Maria Bartelomo were reaching into the Trump will not last and Trump is eeeeevil screed.

They went all the way back to pushing the “McCain is a hero” BS.

They BOTH said this was about protecting hitlary. Maria Came across as a “any woman for office” nutjob feminist.

A MAJOR credibility killer for her future and I hope stuart varney takes over more of her pre-9am time.

Jeb and the GOPe have had a plan to stop everyone but Trump for a few years now. Like you, they are down to, “when Trump blows up.”. I’m not holding my breath.

You know damn well that wasn’t true.

You seriously posted a response intended to make it look like my question addressed an issue that didn’t exit.

That was deceitful, essentially a lie, and what’s more, you knew it going in.

We had the Leftist Media silent on him.
We had the GOPe essentially silent on him.
We had the supposed Conservative punditry in no way providing the vocal objection they are now to Trump.

You were oblivious to this? Not buying it...

Kind of like the French with the Maginot Line, didn’t think the Germans would have just come through Belgium.

You’ve made quite a nasty strawman argument.

I never realized how well you twist the truth.

Take a break.

I was commenting that there were in fact, many, many articles against Obama during his campaign; there have been more non-stop in the 8 years since he was elected [and a sharp spike in 2010 during his 2nd campaign].

Then you add the qualifier “GOP-e” in another comment while calling me a liar.

Curious. Very, very, curious.

I did use the word “conversion”. Reagan’s battles with the Communists trying to take over the Screen Actors Guild, while he was president of that union, was his “Road to Damascus” epiphany. About thirty years of Pauline like proselytizing and service followed. If Trump is sincere, a word that until this year few would associate with the man, his is a recent conversion lacking in any proofs of its depth. Please understand that I can enjoy as much as you watching him kick the GOPe in the teeth. But it will take a lot more than that to persuade me to vote for him.

I see people here trying to compare Trump to Obama.

Trump is 69 Years Old and he has been in the Public Eye for Decades, warts and all. Like him or hate him, he is what he is and if there are Skeletons in his Closet, the door is wide open. I do know he was never part of the Choom Gang.

Obama is a mystery man. We know as much about him seven Years into his Presidency than we did than when he popped up on the National Stage making a Speech at the DNC Convention in 2004. In other words, we know as much about him as we did then, absolutely nothing. Well, we do know he hates America as founded, just like his Party does.

All we know about Obama has come from his Ghost Written Fairy Tale Books and what the Media has decided we should know, even of they have to make it up. It’s a Dear Leader thing, and they are very adept at it.

Smartest President ever, based on what? Great Student at Harvard, based on what? Tough upbringing (because he is African American - actually Mulatto), hardly. Constitutional Lawyer and Professor, not even close, a guest Lecturer at best, and he preached to the empty headed Students that the Constitution got it wrong.

At least we know where Trump came from, same as most of the Republican Field. Perhaps we know more about Trump than most of his Competitors. How many Voters know that Perry used to be Democrat or that Huckabee Pardoned Murderers who Murdered again? His own little Willie Horton moment.

What will be will be in this crazy Election season.

This was my first post. It’s the one you seemed to think you had a cogent reply to.

Read anything in there about a collective against Trump?

What might that have been made up of? You have no idea, right? Not buying you’re little dog n pony show...

The nation’s media
The GOPe
The Nation’s supposed Conservative punditry
The nation’s “conservative” internet outlets

You’re here hawking Walker in part because you sold someone on the idea you were politically savvy enough to handle the job.

Now you’re claiming not to grasp the dynamics of what my words implied?

Aww, and how Alinsky of you too.

Walker would be my 3rd choice behind Trump & Cruz. He DID do some great things in Wisconsin regarding the unions. After that he’s still a politician & I don’t want our next President to be from the political class.

Go Trump!

Then, there’s this....

....according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today......

Today, Walker is at 3 percent, way behind in the pack. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush has 6 percent of Iowa likely Republican Caucus participants, with 5 percent each for Carly Fiorina, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida. No other candidate tops 4 percent, with 4 percent undecided.

I agree with your take on it.

We know more about Trump right now, than we will about Obama twenty years from now.

This is your post I responded to:

To: All

Does anyone remember reading 1/10,000th as much negative reactions to Barack Obama running for president?

Trump isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but seriously folks, this is an eye-opening moment.

Look at the collective against Trump.

That alone should scare the —— out of anyone not thinking of voting for him.

Be on their side, that side...

If I hadn’t planned on voting for him prior to this, I would be after this.

CW: I remember reading TONS and TONS of opposition rants and articles about Obama. I posted many of them.

Scott Walker could have been President if he had the guts to stand against k-street but he didn't.

What are you referring to here?

Since there weren’t TONS and TONS of articles out there, I don’t mind if you wish to continue to stand behind that marked idiocy.

The spewing and insane invective has set the new world record against Trump that the world has ever seen, and in the shortest time span. Still moving up in the polls. ;-)

I agree with your comment.

Yes he is still moving up. They can’t understand why either, and so it has to be that we are flawed rather than that they simply don’t have the tools to grasp it.
