The economy is going bust. Illegal immigration has killed thousands of citizens. And we have just had a Paris-like terrorist attack in San Bernardino. These are all issues that Trump has been hammering on when everyone was fighting him.

I also think the markets can drop 20-30% this month.

And the GOP is panicked Trump is going to have a blow out electoral mandate. Were the GOP not the flip side of the democrat coin this would not be happening.

May as well swear in Trump now. Events are dropping in his lap to make his case in spades.

Since the Republicans and the Democrats have stood gawking for years, doing absolutely nothing but watching America decline, if our ACTIVE military leaders had any balls, they’d march en mass to the White House and demand his resignation.

By that time Trump will have so much power he will know how to make these wimps fall into line. He certainly is the man to do it.

Exactly. They aren’t afraid the Dems will win in a wipe-out, they’re afraid Repubs will win with Trump in a blow-out.

Because barring a lightning strike, he will win and it will be a blow-out. A fair percentage of Dems do not like Hillary, and at least some of them will sit home, and others will cross over to Trump.

In a fifty-fifty country, you only need a few to abandon their candidate and you have a landslide for yours.

>>May as well swear in Trump now. Events are dropping in his lap to make his case in spades.

Recently, he hinted at changing his tactics from attacking his GOP rivals to just going to war with the Democrats.

This is the time to do that. His challengers don’t stand a chance anymore unless they just try to out-Trump Trump and then they look like cheap knock-offs.

So, he needs to turn his full attention on the Democrats and their utter failure to predict the obvious and their inability to see the real problems because all they can see are their own irrelevant talking points.

He needs to destroy Hillary so completely, that her own pantsuit votes against her.

Trump is winning on all issues. The fact that Obama has imported Islamic Terrorism just makes this a landslide.

There was an article a few weeks ago by this well known pundit whose name I cannot recall who said that if Trump was able to blow off criticism regarding that handicapped reporter that he would be the nominee hands down!

obama just did Trump a huge favor by pondering if San Bernardino was workplace violence when ALL of America knows otherwise.

There was a poll done just recently in the last few days that said that if Trump was nominated a record amount of voters would show up to vote and they would vote overwhelmingly for Trump.

It really is true what his dad said. “ Whatever he (Trump) touches turns to gold!”

You're right. He needs to start attacking Hillary and obama relentlessly. obama for his complete failure as a president on:

Foreign Policy
Fighting isis
Israel
Iran Deal
Failure to control the border
Failure to fix the economy
Failure of obamacare
Failure to stop terrorism in this country

and the attack Hillary as being just MORE of the same!

The Fat Cats are scared spitless of Trump because he knows where many of the bodies are buried in that segment of the well-connected. They have no defense against him because he is as rich and powerful as they are...and smarter. They will do whatever it takes to defeat him, even supporting Hillary.

You have to sit back and think about how many hundreds of thousands of people have been butchered and killed as a result of Obama’s policies.

It’s really why Cruz can’t win. He’s very good likely the best candidate but at this point someone totally nonobliged to anyone, as trump, to move in and tell the GOP to just shut up and sit down.
The democrat party was taken over by Marxists and socialists on the power of birth control and abortion

Likewise the Republican Party has been taken over I guess by greed mo hers. Not to be confused with capitalists, who are not necessarily bad nor good, but by people who will Ruin the country by pushing the invasion
