Mr. Trump: You’re Needed Now More Than Ever

self | J Johnson

As I was on the highway Friday, I danced across the AM radio dial and internet streams to hear many of the Republican faithful begin to throw dirt in what they believe is a dead Trump for President campaign. Saw the responses, the polls etc (Trump still leading). Then I wake up Saturday morning to see I prediction I made earlier this week come true. So now, I write this stern warning to all my conservative brethren:

DON’T DUMP TRUMP YET.

[abigkahuna]

Excellent perceptions

[jarwulf]

My biggest fear about Trump is that he’ll go mushy in the general or once he thinks he has a clear road to the general and I fear too many conservatives are too quickly taking the word of a showman out of desperation for any respite after years of Obama.

I certainly hope Trump can and will walk his talk.

[cuban leaf]

We are in complete agreement. I don’t want to see him as our next president but we desperately need him, if only to keep on the front burner the issues that need to be called out in front of God and everybody, protecting the “real” candidates from the flack they would get from doing the same.

And the one that is setting himself up to benefit from it the most is Cruz. I am extremely happy about that.

[tsowellfan]

Is Fox News doing to Trump what they accused the left-wing media did to Hillary in 2008?

[humblegunner]

He’s making noise that needs to be heard.
If he gets crossways with some media slut.. too damned bad.

I’m partial to Cruz.. but Trump is slapping the folks what need slapped.

And I applaud that slapping.

[tsowellfan]

I agree with you but when and how to we rid ourselves of him?

[FES0844]

My biggest fear is that hackers and voter fraud will determine the next election.

[mrsmith]

And ten million people who would not have watched the debate did because of Donald Trump.
That's ten million extra people who would not have seen and heard Cruz, Carson, etc. unfiltered except for Donald Trump being in the campaign.

Throw him overboard in November if you must LOL!
Meanwhile take advantage!

[Red Steel]

Trump is not going anywhere. He’s got everyone of these clowns on the run.

[dforest]

I actually agree with you. He is a buffer at the moment.

Just wait until we are stuck picking down through the rest trying to pick which establishment RINO is the next best of the least because we have no other choices. Would any of them matter?

This is the last chance to fight this immigration disaster, maybe the last time voting could make any difference. Once Trump is gone, Cruz could rise and they will stomp on him just like they have done to Trump. It is early yet.

Once Cruz in gone, well ....

[Ben Mugged]

Trump isn’t a politician. Don’t expect him to act like one.

[dforest]

You are probably right about your fear.

[dontreadthis]

Trump is the strategy.
Cruz is the candidate.

[Bon mots]

[JmyBryan]

Trump did fine. He had everything to lose and he’s still the story. The more people who totally ignore politics see him talk, the more popular he will get.

[mupcat]

Thanks for the excellently written opinions and observations.

What do you think with all that has happened to him in the past 2 days that if the barrage keeps going he'll go 3rd party and if so, isn't that just a free ticket to Hillary?

[longfellowsmuse]

I don’t trust him either. Nor, do I really want him in the oval office. His ego is so large that I don’t believe he knows what he doesn’t know. When madmen have nuclear weapons and threaten the world with extinction, I want a president who is calm and rational, not someone who flies off the handle because he feels personally affronted.

[Donnafrflorida]

Exactly
De ja vu
They picked off our candidates one by one last time til Romney and or McCain was the last man standing.
Cruz is next. Then Carson etc
I saw too what was happening. I agree wholeheartedly

[mulligan]

Don’t know if Trump would be good or bad as President, but in my opinion would be a thousand times better the what we presently have.
