poll to work on!
“WHY do democrats just love TRUMP..?....There MUST be a reason”
Because there are some Democrats that do LOVE THIS COUNTRY. In 1980 they were called Reagan Democrats - now they’re Trump Democrats. That’s why the Republicans are looking at a probable landslide victory next year, providing Trump is on the ticket.
Any other questions?
Trump won’t be on any ticket.
“Trump wont be on any ticket.”
...and he was doing it as a lark
...and he wouldn’t last more than 2 weeks
...and he’s a “flash-in-the-pan”
...and he wouldn’t sign the pledge
...and he would never recover from McCain
...and he would never recover from Megan
...and he would never recover from that anti-muslim caller
Anymore predictions?
Any other questions?
No.. just a reminder.. This ain’t 1980..
Much has changed... especially among democrats..
It not the same democrat party..
Most or all the Reagan democrats became republicans long ago..
Unless they are still Stupid.
Could be they are not Reagan democrats..
Different HIVE different Bees..
They smell the HIVE on Donald.. I think..
There MUST be a reason.................
Because they think Trump would be easiest to beat. He might be beatable but it wouldn't be easy.
“Most or all the Reagan democrats became republicans long ago..”
If that were true, we’d be winning states in the Midwest, particularly Michigan. I’m sure you have an excuse for us getting our butts whipped every time there since 1988, but like it or not, the demographics there HAVE NOT CHANGED appreciably, yet only Reagan seemed able to win that state.
Trump will take it back...among others.
88.32% Take that, GOPe.
Is Rubio wearing a rug? It is very distracting.
88.29 Cruz!
It not the same democrat party..
Trump not only has captured the anti-establishment Repubs, but will do the same with anti-lib Dems.
HOPE can keep you sane or sour you on Unicorns..
RINOs ARE democrats..
What IF your WRONG?.. about Trump?.
TED CRUZ 88.34% (3,394 votes)

Then I’m wrong. But I also know the type of people that are leaning his way. I used to live in South FL. It is heavily liberal Democrats, however, not Marxist yet like the Peoples Republic of California. There are a lot of Dems in FL and NY that are familiar w/ Trump and like what he is saying. They’re looking for any excuse to be proud of their country again. They won’t vote for Cruz, but they will vote for Trump over Hillary and Bernie. Biden may be a different story.
Whether by accident or by coordination both Charles Krauthammer and Rick Lowry on the same day have maneuvered toward Marco Rubio as the new establishment answer to Donald Trump.
It is interesting that both of these pundits identify immigration as the key issue. Lowry argues, "In the argument with Trump over mass deportation, clearly Bush is right." By extension, one assumes that Marco Rubio whom conservatives see as a rank betrayer on this issue, is also right. Marco Rubio has disqualified himself in the eyes of informed conservatives when he betrayed his Tea Party base to sleep with the Gang of Eight on immigration. Ever cynical, the Republican Establishment believes that informed conservatives amount to only such a small minority within a minority that Marco Rubio's evident onstage skills will ultimately prevail with less well-informed conservatives and independents.
Revealingly, the establishment argument over immigration inevitably reverts to alleged electability. Republicans cannot win, the argument goes, without a respectable showing on election day in the Latino demographic with the breakpoint usually put at about 40%. Antagonize Latino voters on the issue of immigration, they warn us, and lose the national election. Who better to soothe the misgivings of Spanish-speaking people of color than a Latino with matinee idol looks who has associated his name with amnesty?
The establishment's reverting to arguing electability is revealing because it betokens their cynicism on every issue beyond immigration. We dare not shut the government down, the people will blame Republicans and nothing, not Obama care, not bankrupting the country with runaway debt, is worth an election.
No principle is worth losing an election, fidelity to no promise is worth losing an election, adherence to oath and Constitution is not worth losing an election. It is not worth losing an election to repeal Obamacare. It is not worth losing an election to save the country from bankruptcy, it is not worth losing an election for any cause by shutting the government down or even appearing to be associated with a shutdown done by Obama. It is not worth it to defend the people against the bureaucrats, to defend the people against executive tyranny done by executive order. It is not worth it to oppose leftist judges, leftist attorneys general, leftist IRS agents, leftist schemers in every dark bureaucratic corner of the Obama administration. Nothing dear to conservatives is worth it.
It is however worth risking an election by offending the conservative base; it is worth risking an election to keep faith with crony capitalists; it is worth risking an election to keep the border open whether in the Oval Office or out; it is worth losing an election by serving K St. at the expense of Main Street; it is worth risking an election to presume on the faithfulness of the conservative base while betraying it to billionaire campaign contributors. Is worth risking an election by cutting secret deals with Obama to betray conservative constituents.
It is even worth risking the security of the nation to abandon the constitutional mandate to advise and consent to Obama's secret dealings enabling Iran getting the bomb.
When Marco Rubio slipped in between the sheets with a Gang of Eight on immigration he did nothing more than reveal shortly after his arrival in Washington that he was a quick study. Now the pundits Krauthammer and Lowry nudge unwary conservatives in the direction of Marco Rubio. Soon every establishment Republicans will argue that winning the election is everything. Implied: principle is expendable.
Principled informed conservatives reply, winning with cynics and opportunists is worth nothing. Winning with establishment Republicans is the equivalent of losing.
If demographics is destiny in politics, conservatism has perhaps only this election cycle before it is swept away by a cynically contrived flood of Democrat voting immigrants. Now the very people who caused this, especially the Bush family, and those who at least condoned the Democrats practicing immigration politics, raise their own misfeasance as reason to continue them in power. Properly translated into honest English the GOPe is saying, we have created an immigrant population that must be appeased, we have created a monster which must be fed.
Informed conservatives know this is our last chance.
Freeped
Rubio is such a grimy little pimp
Well stated. Good post.
“I passed you this morning - felt great!
yep you defiantly qualify as one of their brain trust . Although it was a little clever. However, I did notice you havent wiped in 40 years and it shows. Whatever you do never argue the point just sling it.
My point remains Rubio is a done nothing amnesty pimp and Cruze is okdokay with a Sharial law observing muslim as president.
Ben Carson the only God fearing conservative left. You can tell, the frauds are attacking him from the left flank.
