Hillary Clinton will find it harder to crush Donald Trump than she thinks
Telegraph ^ | March 5, 2016 | Simon Heffner in New York

In America last week I sought to work out who hates Donald Trump more: Democrats or Republicans. The answer, I soon realised, was Republicans; his own party is in a seething panic about what appears to be the probability of his becoming their presidential candidate.

A group of them, whose spokesman is a failed presidential candidate from the last two elections, Mitt Romney, are trying to rally support and raise money to stop him. The problem is that they don't have a plan, and they fail to see what their party is now really like. They also fail to see what an unhappy, troubled, angry country America now is, and how Americans feel their mainstream politicians have not responded to their fears.

By March 15 there will have been eight more Republican primaries, and Trump leads in the polls in almost all of them - including Florida, where he is 20 points ahead of Marco Rubio, whose home state it is. In 10 days, any doubt about Mr Trump's candidacy could well be eliminated, as he stays on course to secure the 1,237 delegates he needs to be nominated....

FTA

Is the Republican party really theirs any more? Or is it undergoing the sort of change the Tory party underwent in the Eighties, when Mrs Thatcher attracted vast numbers with no heritage of voting Conservative? It smells like that.

They also fail to see what an unhappy, troubled, angry country America now is, and how Americans know they have been betrayed by career politicians who treasonously sold their freedom for personal gain.

Far more accurate.

That’s about all the ammo she has on him, other than Trump university and bankruptcy while he has a whole encyclopedia going back 30 - 40 years of her shenanigans. She is absolutely nuts if she agrees to a debate with him. The only way I can see it happening is if it’s something set up to Hillarys advantage, like getting Megyn Smug to “moderate” which means Trump will be debating Hillary and Megyn Smug.

I hope FR is finally getting clarity and realizing Trump is the only true path to the trifecta.

If he wants to beat Hillary, then he needs to establish conservative credentials. And he doesn’t have much time.

Don’t take it personally but we look with suspicion on recent signups for awhile until they’ve proven themselves. We’ve all had to deal wit it when we were new.

I suspect Hillary gets up each morning thinking her kitty don’t stink. Aside from Hubble’s litter, she ain’t got no mojo.

I would think that Trump has mountains of Opposition research on Killery and it is a target rich environment.

The one thing that Trump has demonstrated is that he will get down into the mud and is perfectly comfortable there. The Clinton’s are great ones for throwing mud, and then quickly removing their gloves and denying that they are the source. While their hands may be clean, the evidence of mud slinging is all over their clothes.

I am not sure that Cruz is up to the task of getting into the gutter with the Clinton Machine and their scorched earth methods. He could very well be, but it is a level of sleaze that I don’t think Cruz is well prepared for.

Very well said. Right on.

Trump is a street fighter. People like that, including Democrat blue collar workers.
