Notice the picture they put up of her, trying to make her look like a complete wacko for (gasp!) supporting Trump and thinking politicians are lying to her.

Based on Trump’s crowds and their enthusiasm, I don’t think the media’s attempts are working.

They are playing with fire and I think they realize it or they wouldn't be leaking these feelers. After the Cochran betrayal in MS, something on the national scale could finish off the RNC/GOPe. That may not be a bad thing but the result would likely be Hillary which would possibly be the finishing touch to the Left's destruction of our Freedoms.

More important than ever for the People to actually get involved and invest in conservatism - else we become part of the problem.

Now for a short public service announcement to all on FR:
We need to ensure we don't get another Obama-like America Hater as the next President.
The best way to ensure that is to actively support a candidate as the next President.
I prefer Cruz and my money goes to his campaign, hence the Cruz link. If you like someone else, donate to him/her (find your own link to do it) and if you use FR and don't donate, then please don't complain about the welfare leeches or those who have Obama Phones because, functionally, you are no different than any other FReeloader

PS - If you are one of those who cannot afford even a small donation to FR or a candidate, God Bless and happy FReeping!.....

GO CRUZ!! Keep it up Trump!!

Donate to FR

Donate to Cruz

Donate to FR

We can be certain that the GOP has no courage whatsoever.

If anything they will learn how to lick Trump’s boots in a nano second.

“There will never be a brokered convention. The Republicans have a history of cowardice. Trump will throw everything he has at them and they will fold.”

I don’t disagree with you, but I think one of the things Trump should have are a couple hundred thousand supports standing around outside.

Physically there? Standing around? That is perfect. I may be one of them.

They are beholden to The Cheap Labor Express.
They will do whatever it takes to keep us from electing anyone who would stop the illegal alien inundation.

Of course not, but as I heard Rush Limbaugh the other day, "...there has never been such a wide gap between the political class and the rest of the country as there is now, and it's only getting wider..."

What the American Citizens want, and what the GOPe wants aren't the same.

“I think the GOP is completely corrupted...”

They are all corrupt! It’s not about what’s best for the nation, but rather what’s best for the establishment / elites that run the government. D.C. is a cesspool.

You over estimate the Republicans. They are strong before the weak and weak before the strong. They will fold like cheap suits.
