If they hated Trump they wouldn’t talk about him 75% of the time, they would ignore him.

At this stage in our history, I'm damned fine with a Right-wing fascist.

Sometimes a country needs a Pinochet.

Ok; you’ve put my mind at ease. Thanks.

My British Facebook friends are having a nervous breakdown over Trump!

Trump would stomp Hillary.

A Chihuahua would stomp Hillary. In in on-the-ground real Americans, the woman has been loathed by Democrats and Republicans alike since at least 2007 (why do you think Obama got the nomination while Republicans were in a panic over the possibility of Hillary, chanting "Anybody But Hillary!" Well, they got their wish. They got Barack Obama) ...

... and just now I see a headline where a poll says only 28% of Americans agree with Obama on Syrian refugees and Hillary elsewhere is quoted as promising Americans that Muslims are "peaceful and tolerant" and have nothing to do with terrorism ...

... Hillary is a fake, a fraud, an illusion. The only people who even remotely like her are those in the MSM -- and since they have control of what America looks like in the mirror, so to speak, they pervert it to look like "everybody" (except us, of course) like Hillary, when the truth is that most legit American voters would dump her like a smelly turd at the ballot box. It's another reason Democrats HAVE TO CHEAT in order to win. Obama was "elected" by fake voters and fraudulent "Americans," and the only way Hillary would win dogcatcher, let alone President, is the same. IF Democrats didn't cheat ... they'd lose. Hillary isn't the threat -- fraudulent and corrupt elections and ballot counts are.

Praising a candidate because if his ability to "stomp Hillary" is like praising a car because it has a steering wheel.

This was Medved’s hope, I guess. He takes up time during Rush’s commercial breaks to bloviate against Trump & Carson. I didn’t understand what the Paul Ryan thing was about. That’s sure to invite a Democrat in office.

“If the
GOPe tries to nuke him, it could end the party.”

The problem is, much of the GOPe view a Trump election as the the end of the GOPe.

Trump is very smart, though. I could see him schmoozing the GOPe leadership, before a convention, to ease their minds enough to gain the nomination.

I can’t wait for Reuters to come up with a poll that fits your narrative. Maybe then you'll stop with the notion that Reuters has some kind of skin in the game.

I question all polls whether they "fit my narrative" or not.

Beyond that, Reuters as a "news organization" has a pretty bad bias. You don't think so??

Remember, the only votes that count are at the convention. Everything thing else is sound and thunder.

For those who say the delegates are sworn to vote for “their guy”.. remember who makes the rules.

Rethink your definition of "hate," please.

A little kid who asks his mom for something and his mom says "no," often replies, "Mommy, you hate me!"

I personally love Trump, admire him, believe him to be a true and sincere American patriot, and hold him in high regard. But I have very good reason to believe that he is a very BAD risk for liberty and conservatism, and remind people of it frequently.

He has only ever been a businessman and a professional showman, and now here he is switching careers to politician and angling for the very top job in that field -- with ZERO experience.

The ONLY reason you have ever heard of Trump, hotsteppa, proust, and all other Trump supporters, is because for SEVEN recent years, up to only two years ago, Trump had a TV show that was so successful in crafting the image of Donald Trump as a brassy brilliant billionaire real estate mogul genius businessman, that his name became a household word.

For 21 of the past 26 years, he donated as much to Democrats (more, actually) than he did to Republicans. He only started taking an anti-Syrian refugee stance AFTER Ted Cruz announced his opposition to bringing them here on Sept. 8. I can go on and on.

Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it represents "hate." The behavior of a candidate's supporters speaks volumes about the candidate. When they claim that those who are highly skeptical of their candidate "hate" that candidate, they are acting like the little kid crying, "Mommy, you hate me!" when Mommy says "No."

Hinting that he's taking Cruz as a running mate might get people to stop taking Cruz seriously.

Yeah. And to start taking a self-promoted apolitical celebrity businessman showman with ZERO experience in politics and a documentable history of leaning leftward moderate, seriously as a "conservative" Republican candidate for President.

They don't call the Republican party the "stupid party" for nothing.

“remember who makes the rules.” Apparently the lyin’ king makes the rules as he dawdles along. Or is that mincing.

It was amazing how after the attacks all of the FOX RINO pundits after Paris were quoting almost the exact same talking point, that the attack would make people sober up and pick a “serious” candidate, thus hurting Trump and Carson.

Meanwhile Ann Coulter tweeted after the attack that Trump had “won the election today.” Every conservative knew she was right that it would help Trump, given him being the poster-child against illegal immigration and on record against taking in refugees. And now the polls have borne us out.

I think it’s a mini-coup for conservative media and pundits. We’ve been trying to tell them they’re wrong for 2 cycles now when they say we need to run a moderate RINO candidate, not just wrong because of values, but wrong because we predict they will lose. How many times do conservative media have to spike the football before people realize they’re the best source not only of opinions but also facts and analysis?

Steve Deace, who endorsed Cruz, said on his show last night that Trump will have trouble motivating the evangelicals because of his lack of authenticity on their issues. He said he might have to ‘redraw the map’ to win, and he will probably require Democrat voters, blacks, etc. to be unmotivated to vote for Hellary and depress turnout on her side for him to win.

He echoes my concerns about Trump’s electability in the general. Essentially we give up the likability and trustworthiness advantage we would have over Hellary with most other candidates. We’d be running the two candidates on either side who score lowest in those regards. Which has echoes of running Romney and giving up the advantage against Obamacare.

The Trump-haters on this forum know who they are. BTW, did I post to you? In any case, this cycle I think most people are going for the non-politician with a world of experience in the real world as opposed to politicians who in the recent past have proven to talk a good game but have no action behind it(example current Republicans in Congress).
