Trump is a life long lefty.
I think all Cruz-supporting posters should announce and declare this. Over and over. Sometimes in long posts with multiple fonts.

Put it in breaking news.

It’s a message that is obviously convincing millions.

Yep. They should continue calling Trump supporters names and screaming how holy they are and how stupid everyone else is.

That should seal the deal for Cruz.

A ludicrously stupid article, for example to win by continuing to hit Trump hard with numerous accusations.

Doesn't work. Why? Because Trump just shrugs them off and hits back twice as hard-- look at all the accusations that Cruz is a liar, which are getting repeated so much they'll stick even if they're not true.

Watching the other candidates and the media go after Trump is like watching a Little League team go after the NY Yankees. It just produces more embarrassment for Trump's opponents.

Don't get me wrong: I don't think Trump is very conservative in many ways. But I also think Trump's candidacy is revealing that much of American conservatism is (in political terms) like a particularly well preserved mummy: it looks alive until it falls over and crumbles into pieces.

What people want is protection from predatory immigration and predatory "free" trade to fix the economy. To them, if the economy doesn't get fixed (which requires kicking the establishment in the nuts) nothing else matters.

In a Republican primary, Trump lacks both an ideological or geographic base.

It appears that "all your base are belong to Trump."

Trump leads in all the demographics among Republican candidates. Trump has created the Big Tent Republican party that the GOP-e has whined about for twenty or so years, and he did it without the establishment help. Actually, the establishment has openly been trying to thwart his efforts all along the way. In some polls, Trump gets 40% of the black vote, and 40% of the Hispanic vote. Trump gets pluralities of every single demographic, and still the GOP-e is openly against him. Why???

Here it is. The GOP-e is not interested in winning elections. They are only interested in keeping the multi-Trillion Dollar Gravy Train running, and it doesn't matter which party is in office. They gets their cut.

Trump is a threat to their gravy train.

This is really out of hand.

I posted yesterday the reason for a man like Trumps popularity.
It started, actually in the 10 election, and really got bad in the last, when they all PROMISED if we just elected a majority that they will do everything they promised.
Well, did they?

That is it, in a nut shell, plain and simple.

I remember the good old days of hand written notebooks when the paranoid schizophrenics use to have notebooks filled using 3 or 4 colors of ink. I don't think most of our Cruzberger's are that sick. They just like ceiling fans and flickering lights a whole lot.

Read up on Italian fascism, with its core of economic nationalism and its vilification of the other, and then read trump’s position papers, such as they are, and you’ll quit laughing.

You’ve got that right. Obama won two elections because 30-40 million evangelical Christiansstayed home because the GOP candidate did not reflect their Christian conservative positions. If Trump is the nominee, it will be even worse.

And the public never knows about any of that stuff. The media, the GOP, even his opponents won’t present any of it.

Advice? Stuart Stevens admits he gets it wrong within the first 150 words of an atypical character assassination piece.

I’m sick of these campaign wonks.

I am willing to sell some very rare hard to find piece of red trumponite if anyone is interested. Much stronger than green trumponite.

Problem is, many Trump supporters don’t care what these people think or say.

Orange man - Oh noes!!! Supporters paint their faces orange as a rally cry.

Mexico - Gasp!! M-13 are just children?

Bankruptcies - Clutch my pearls! I’m going to faint!!

Hyperventilating!! Somebody fetch a paper bag!

Maybe they need a revival with a foam party following. That’ll fix em.

These people are so clueless is shocking.


Projecting a bit? Ted Cruz campaigned for Barack Obama’s legacy trade agenda and at this very moment his Super PAC is raking in millions in anonymous, money laundered donations. Clueless? Pot. Meet Kettle.
