Bingo— it’s perot all over again, helping the clintons again.
Nah, don’t think you’re right.
Trump knows how to play to win, something the GOPe should have taken note of long ago.
But, the GOPe is the dems, just in slow motion so do keep on keeping on with believing the “I’ll hold the ball this time Charlie Brown” fallacy.
There is a reason the political outsiders (Trump, Cruz and Carson) have led the polls thus far.
If it weren’t for them, especially Trump, we’d be arguing Bush vs Hillary, I don’t think you would prefer that, would you?
Donald The Bull-Moose.
It will be 1912 all over again.
He’s right. Twice, in the first debate and in a later one, the moderators staged a pledge of support for the eventual nominee strictly aimed at Trump. Trump eventually signed a pledge and then reaffirmed it at a debate.
But based on some of the statements that have been made since Trump has continued as the front-runner, the RNC and later moderators should have staged another pledge to gain a promise from the other candidates to support Trump if he wins.
Never happened, and all these stacked audiences and the continued questions aimed at Trump alone, then the RNC has failed to keep its pledge.
Not saying Trump should do anything specific, but the RNC is in default at holding up its end of the agreement.
I have felt this all along as well.
This is PEROT on steroids.
This is the Sanders path to victory.
The Trumpertantrums will never stop.
“Trump meltdown because republicans booed his crazy 9/11 and Iraq rants.
So Presidential.”
They booed Cruz too.
But he was a good Pubbie, by putting his head down and keeping his mouth shut. That’s how a “real conservative” takes their punishment.
I don’t think so. He can’t afford to change parties again. And running with another billionaire would be a total joke. I hope so, anyway...
IIRC, back at the beginning of the campaign last year, there was a lot of buzz about Trump and Bill Clinton either meeting or phoning. Could this whole situation be a setup planned by Donald and Bill to get Hillary in the White House?
Bloomberg is in line with the Club for Growth, Rubio & Cruz on H1B.
No to Trump/Bloomberg independent bid for the Presidency. Very very bad optics and Bloomberg would scare away too many conservative votes.
I’ve suspected that ever since he first mentioned that he was open to running third party months ago. If he decides to do this, all the loonies shouting “go Trump” are going to realize what idiots they were once Hillary or Sanders wins.
Yeah maybe, but he has rocked the GOPE and the DC establishment to the core.
That isn't a problem in my view, is it in yours?
Just asking.
Exactly!
Side note: I believe if the the GOPe goes to a brokered convention, Hillary/Sanders wins the presidency as none of us will vote in a crooked election.
I don’t think Trump is at all committed to jumping ship.
But the GOPe is determined to make him look bad on TV by packing the audience with Boo Birds.
He already tried to make his point by skipping a debate, and was ignored.
Trump requested them to have a larger space, and hold a lottery for tickets, but this was rejected.
The pussies (as in pusillanimous pansy-ass politicians) that would put up with such mistreatment are exactly what he DO NOT NEED for POTUS at this time.
Isn't ANYONE ELSE weary of his incessant histrionics? There's a new tantrum every day. I think he's got a screw loose, because he can't seem to let a day go by without doing something to bring attention to himself. If I had a kid like that, I'd be looking for a reputable therapist or pastor to help the kid process through the issues that are causing his troubled behavior.
‘Zactly...again, the chess/checkers metaphor applies...makes for a good news story to use up other candidate’s oxygen.
I knew Trump was a gasbag during the first debate when he was treated “unfairly” by a debate moderator. He is also a wuss.
The RNC believes,it is a game. Heck, they have been gaming us election after election and we have been addicted to their game except this year. Unfortunately many still are stuck in their game and cannot see the way out.
