Though, it would be refreshing and honest if some would give a reasoned answer to the question posed.
Aw, your condescending concern for the Trump supporters is rather touching, but unnecessary. I’m sure most of us have already asked ourselves this very question, without your help or suggestion. We’ve been having an honest discussion about Trump for the past 3 months. If you haven’t been listening, that’s your fault. You continue to play the objective outside observer, but your refusal to be intellectually honest when discussing Trump belies your true agenda. When you feel like being honest, let me know, and we’ll talk. Until then, you’re a waste of time.
For me it would be if he were to start apologizing for the things he has said in order to be PC. If he starts backpedaling on his positions on immigration, gun control, etc. in order to keep from offending, I’m done with him. He will be no better than the rest. It’s OK to see reason and recognize a mistake but never apologize for your actions or beliefs if you know you are right.
The main reason I like him, other than his stand on certain topics, is that he is strong, he’s not PC, and he’s not afraid to say what he thinks and stand behind it. I am sick to death of the whiny, mewling apologists that are in politics now. They make me want to barf whenever they open their mouths. Trump is a breath of fresh air.
The only thing that really worries me is his temper. He needs a good VP beside him to keep him balanced but still retain his strength.
If he changes his name to Donald Bush
If he picks Jeb Bush as VP
If he gets caught cheating on his wife with Rosie O’Donnell
If he gets caught sexting with Barbara Boxer
If he was a muslim born in kenya
On a side note, I randomly asked a guy at whole foods yesterday what he thought of Trump. He said he was afraid that Trump would get us in a war so he planned to support Hillary because he thought it would be nice to have a woman president. Amazing!
I am sorry I ever signed up for your thread to promote your Governor for Pres. You have real issues. Get help.
Rather than wallowing in their own self-importance and presumptuousness, and their severe case of TDS, maybe the folks at RS should try promoting the candidate of their choice.
This constant Trump bashing and insulting of his supporters will accomplish nothing.
A few of us aren’t fans of Red State and, therefore, won’t read the article. I glean from some of the responses in the thread, some have read it in it’s entirety, and conclude the author presumes Trump supporters don’t know how dreadful he is and the article is an attempt to badger people to reconsider their support. I follow Trump closely and so far have not seen any show-stoppers.
But to answer the question, there are virtually thousands of things that Trump could say or do that would cause me to change my allegiance. If and when he does I will be sure to let you know.
Nothing he could say or do will cause them to stop supporting him.
“Sadly, I hold out little hope that this article will be read in full,”
Maybe if you tried actually posting the article, instead of teasing it. The redstate blog is not on the FR “excerpt only list.” See? (I’m a Cruz supporter, btw, and Cruz has done things that I don’t agree with so the blogger’s premise is a reach).

This question has never been asked of any other candidate ‘s supporters. In history. Suddenly it is a burning question for Trump supporters. Why?
Call Pam Geller an Obnoxious blowhard who teased poor innocent muslims into attacking her because she wanted attention.
Woohoo!! President Guiliani!!
Well now those issues are given a different focus by Mr. Trump and he is willing to suffer the slings and arrows of a campaign in order to showcase his solutions. I give him kudos for that, and reject the naysayers who hate him for things he has said in the past when he DID donate to the Clintons, and did or said things because it would grease the ways for his business. That said, will I vote for him? I will vote for Cruz in the primary, but if it comes down to Trump vs. any of the Democratic field, I will vote for him far easier then the vote I cast for Romney or Bush I.
Now that that's out of the way, I will say that I am enjoying the furrowed brows and increasing panic of those pundits that just don't get it.
Well that backfired on him rather badly, didn't it?
Erickson thought he was being clever. He thought that by kicking Trump while he was down and sucking up to Meghan Kelley, he could get himself in the good graces of the GOP establishment and Fox News.
Well he certainly backed the wrong horse...which reminds me of a certain poster here on the Free Republic.
Speaking of political correctness, Erickson himself has been in hot water several times for making the same kind of statements that he "disinvited" Donald Trump over. So not only is Erickson a total dweeb but he's a hypocrite as well.
Donald Trump had this to say after the disinvite:
"Not only is Erick a total loser, he has a history of supporting establishment losers in failed campaigns so it is an honor to be uninvited from his event."
You lost me with your ...’mindless drooling sports fan’.....insult
>>What, hypothetically, would Trump have to do or say to cause you to stop supporting him?
He’d have to say that America really isn’t that special and that we need to lower our standard of living to match that of the rest of the world in order to reduce carbon emissions so we can stop climate change.
“For all the manifold sins of Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) 54%, he has never in his life had a 4 month stretch of time in which he has betrayed as many conservative principles as Trump has since entering the race, but Trump’s supporters are still there.”
And that’s the author’s problem right there. That’s simply untrue. The GOP plays games with rules and procedures, ensuring that they have show votes to take home, while advancing the progressive agenda in reality.
I’m utterly finished with the GOP. I started 3rd party voting last cycle and they haven’t given me one reason to regret it thus far. In fact, they’ve only validated my decision.
Look, Trump’s not my first choice but if he ends up on the ballot, he’ll have my vote. A vote for Trump will be my “thank you” note to the GOP for absolutely nothing but lies, betrayals and backstabbing.
Um I suppose if he said stuff like this, Mr. Wolf:
“illegal immigration is an act of love”
“those who oppose illegal immigration are heartless”
“Obama is a decent person and a person you don’t have to be scared of as president of the United States [who] I just happen to have disagreements with”
“It’s not my job to convince the 47% of people who voted for Obama”
Your visceral hatred of Trump is being exposed. I’ll bet that that you lay awake at night (next to your picture of little Jebbie) hoping and praying that Donald will be killed before the election; for that’s the only way most of us would be forced not to vote for him.
Get over it; the republican party has screwed us conservative voters and now the GOPe will become the “screwed”...not the “screwer.”
