I have no ill will towards Trump, actually. My candidate is Ted Cruz. But I have thought from the outset that as long as Ted has no problem with Donald, I don’t.
Personally, I want Donald to stay in the game until I hear these words from Jeb Bush, “I have suspended my campaign as of....”.

Trump Trump Trump, he’ll kick them in the rump!
If you look carefully you will see signs that the Left-Wing media is quietly starting to have a cow about the numbers of Reagan Democrats who appear ready to defect to Trump.
Good summary from someone who’s been there.
I remember back in 1992, I heard a conservative talk show host (I cannot remember his name) say; “I just saw the next President of the United States”. He was talking about Bill Clinton and was referencing his thoughts when he saw Clinton walking across an airport tarmac. If memory serves, this was in January of 1992. Almost the same time frame as Mr. Root’s column. I wonder if he is as clairvoyant as that long ago talk show host.
“Donald’s fan base is plumbers, electricians, construction workers, taxi drivers, secretaries, hairdressers, cops, firemen and yes, in Las Vegas- casino workers. Donald is a man of the people. “
Worth repeating.
Reagan appealed to the same. He spoke in a way people could understand, about things they cared about and expressed their own thoughts.
If we keep sending the same ol’ incestuous, political elite back to washington we are going to keep getting fed the same manure. The only proof needed is the latest “omnibus” 2000 page document no one has read nor will read until it is voted on, passed and signed into law. Revolution in congress my a$$.
The only hope this country has is to break out of the same ol’ same ol’. If Trump is the guy to do it so be it........
What does Trump think about Budgets ? Will he bring Budgets back ?
We the People have been disenfranchised, marginalized, ridiculed and ignored!
I keep saying Trump had me at ‘build a wall’
No other candidate had said that.....NONE
I had been a wholly supportive Ted Cruz fan since he came on the scene over a year ago......
I am not shallow.....
But as soon as I heard Trump passionately avow to do what I had given up on ever getting done....
He won me over!
It’s that simple.
I listened to him.....I listened to his fine, articulate, smart sons.....I keep getting impressed all over again.
We have winner here folks.
Those who have spoken highly of him are Jeff Sessions.....Franklin Graham....Pastor Jeffress (Dallas)......Phyllis Schafly....etc
God Bless Donald Trump
That said...what the h#@l does ‘style’ matter after 8 years of ‘O’?
My preference is for Cruz and my ONLY second choice is Trump!
Real Americans who have never taken welfare in their lives. Real Americans who just want their kids to do better than themselves. Real Americans who pay into the system, not take out. God bless them.
And why are they so mad? Why is Trump their hero? Because he speaks for them. He speaks plain spoken, common sense, American values. He tells the raw honest truth. They are sick of the B.S. They are sick of being lied to. They are sick of political correctness. And most importantly, they are sick of being under attack.
Jeff Sessions: Trump you magnificent bastard, you read my article: Becoming the Party of work: How the GOP can help struggling Americans, and itself.
I doubt if all the unions endorse Trump. The members maybe, but the union Pac money and official endorsements will go mostly to Hillary.
and yes, in Las Vegas- casino workers...
This really caught my eye. It may be a landslide in Nevada.
After what Paul Ryan just did to America, what he did to the loyal GOP lemmings, short of having Karl Rove help arrange a brokered convention to force Senor Heb Boosh on us (like Romney in 2012, McCain in ‘08) as “their guy” Trump’s in.
I can’t think of a higher endorsement than this, coming from the Libertarian party (motto: “Helping to elect democrats - since 1982”) perennial candidate Wayne Allen Root himself.
GOP=DNC=Progressives=Fabian Socialists=Marxist communists.
No tin hat required, just read, follow the connections.
I’m all about Ted Cruz, but I agree with Wayne.
We could do worse. And have.
Mark Levin: “You can’t have tyranny until you destroy the middle class.”
Don’t look now, but the Middle Class is in decline; and this explains WHY Obama is now pulling out all the stops in his attempts to take down America.
And .. NEVER FORGET .. The DemocRAT Party is complicit in all of this foolishness and treason.
I am not a Trump supporter, but if he wins the nomination it will because the entire GOP demographic is PO’ed about GOP-Es inaction and tired of “business as usual.”
These are the kind of people I grew up around: salt of the earth folks, who didn’t ask a thing of anyone other than to be left alone.
Wayne Allen Root has nailed it.
These people- almost to a man and woman- have either never voted before, or voted only Democrat in the past, or voted once for a Republican in their lives- Ronald Reagan.
These are Reagan Democrats and blue dog Democrats and independents. This is great news for the GOP. The media keeps saying the GOP needs to expand their tent.
Well Donald Trump has done it.
I was informed by an educated political wizard on this very board that these people no longer exist.
Who knew?
Re: Crossover voting potential
I would like to recommend this PDF for review.
It has some encouraging information in there.
On page five it reveals 90% of Republicans and 81% of Independents think the nation is going in the wrong direction. It incredibly also reveals that 43% of Democrats think think the nation is going in the wrong direction.
On page six it reveals that 43% (43+25) of Independents strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.
On that page it also reveals that 73% (73+14) of Republicans strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.
On that page it also reveals that 10% (10+23) of Democrats strongly do not think Obama is doing a good job.
IF Hillary runs on Obama’s record, she’s toast.
If she doesn’t, she’s toast.
This PDF is worth the view.
