Let me guess you don’t believe Trumps using contractors association with organized crime to get his building built will be a problem.

“They will make a big deal out of his holding Canadian citizenship until May of 2014.”

The average American likes Canada (even though Canadians do not reciprocate!), so having Canadian citizenship isn’t much of a hot-button issue.

Some very powerful ads could be made with the centerpiece being that Cruz was born in Canada. I can think of a couple that, in this world of sound bites, would greatly damage Cruz. It concerns me a lot.

Ha you haven't seen anything yet. That Weather Vane ad Bush is running against Dondi is mild compared to the ads that will rip Trump apart. No need for moderation. Just Trump's own words...used against himself.

For gun control-against gun control
For Health cAre-against healthcare
For limiting Immingration-against limiting Immigration
Advocating Hillary-ripping Hillary
Promoting Bill Clinton-Blaming Bill for Osama
He will be destroyed like they did Perot. Bank on it.

Re:”A Breitling watch man? Man of the people.”

You must support Donald “DRAFT DODGER” Trump.
Trump is truly a man of the people.
Just make sure you don’t get in his way or he will eminent domain your s*** away.
And how many bankruptcies did he file?
Guess those people he screwed over wish they could buy that Breitling.

It appears Trump is moving beyond the party politics divide, because there truly is a Uniparty in Washington and Americans are done with it.

Realistically, it probably won’t be.

Trump is pretty open about his “I do what’s necessary to get the job done” attitude. It’s a big reason why people like him so much and support him.

Everytime I hear Trump’s associate with organized crime come up I remember that scene in Rodney Dangerfield’s “Back to School” movie where Dangerfield’s character lectures the Freshman Business Management 101 professor on how things happen in the real world. The professor, although technically correct, comes across as a naive and arrogant elitest pr*ck.

Trump is riding a wave - a tsunami, actually - of societal and political dissatisfaction in this country thats making a lot of what would be campaign-ending charges completely irrelevant.

Ha!

The MSM, including Fox, has been in complete meltdown / attack mode over Trump.

Hildabeast and Socialist Sanders have attacking him.

Paul Ryan parroted Obama and said Trump is ‘not who we are’ as Americans.

Trump scares the sh*t out of Democrats. He’s polling 20% of the black vote.

20%!

That alone would get him in the White House.

Trump has Union support, police officers, and blue collar whites.

Trump polls better then Romney did with Hispanics.

The Uniparty’s biggest threat is Trump. They’d be fine with Hillary winning, or Cruz running and they’d starve him of money.

Cruz is my first preference but he is wrong. Drastically so.

Re:”Should Trump ask Cruz about building codes or project financing or meeting payroll?”

Maybe he could ask him which chapter he should file his next bankruptcy under.

Trump is all about Trump and getting richer

He's not just about getting richer, he's about getting praise for his accomplishments. When he's President, he won't be selling out or cutting corners. He'll assure his place in US history as the best President we ever had, the one that saved western civilization.

Won't it be nice to have a President who doesn't even have to deal with fundraising or assuring his financial future?

Strange to see all of the sudden ‘wealth envy’, on this forum, isn’t it?

Used to be, building a successful business, having the ability to pay for ones own nice homes, etc was a conservative feather, around here.

Trump is smoking out closet libs, everywhere....you know, the kind who have chosen to live off of the govt trough. Govt employee/career politician = the ‘new’ conservatives. LOL.

Proceed with your usual Trump/Alinsky model of trashing me. I see through it.

I'm with you. A)Trump doesn't have enough conservative cred to claim to be one, B)Trump will disappoint even his most rabid fans, C)Trump will not fair well in the federal government and, I predict, would resign before the end of a single term.

No Ted, it’s you they want. They know Ted won’t hit the Clinton’s like Trump would.

That's just crazy talk, newbie. Go to the Youtubes and pull up a few videos of Cruz crucifying leftwingnuts in Senate committee hearings.

He'll do the same thing to The Bish if he gets the chance.

Trump is 'spray and pray' whereas Cruz is more like a surgeon.
