That remains very much to be seen. If Trump enters the primary, the Left and the "media" will hold their fire until the day after he's nominated. Then, he'll see what it's like to face a real onslaught.
The Republicans are being set up again. They know that Obama is destined to lose a two-candidate race. In comes the new “little general”...
Granted.
“True, the TEA party is attempting to steer the party to a Constitutional stance, but the R’s are still miles away.”
The real problem is that there actually is a ‘political class’. These are the leeches upon society who are doing the damage. They and the media are in an unholy alliance that feeds the narcissistic needs of each. The failure to not put strict term limits for all public offices into the constitution was an unfortunate mistake of the framers. They thought the voters would take care of that. They did not, however, foresee the power of propaganda and how this would nullify the power of the ballot.
And if the Repubs put up a half-baked candidate Romney for example expect another loss.
Alan Keyes is a conservative
I like Keyes.. he's a true believer. But he already has experience having had 0bama wipe the floor with him.
Very true; I don't dispute that at all.
And while you're at it, you can stop abusing the conservative legacy of Ronald Reagan too.
Reagan didn't create the 11th commandment. California state GOP chairman Gaylord Parkinson created that slogan in 1966 during the race for Governor. It was meant to counter the attacks on candidate Reagan from his GOP primary opponent, liberal San Francisco Mayor, George Christopher. For the next ten years that slogan was dormant in the political arena. To my knowledge Reagan didn't use it once.
Trump is the diametrically opposite of Reagan. Trump is the anti-Reagan.
Maybe Trump can get a few covers.
He's an all around troll. Always has been.
I can’t even listen to anyone saying negativities about Trump. Right now, that’s like praising Hitler for the trains running on time. Trump is the only one with the bwalls (ny accent) to take on Obama! He is our little boy, crying out that the Emperor is buck naked! Go, Donald!
Who in their right mind would trust Trump on things like nominating conservative judges - especially to the Supreme Court?
Trump is just as likely to nominate consensus candidates rather than strict conservatives. An actual Republican president at least answers to the conservative base, someone like Trump probably wouldn’t.
Trump is not a real conservative and is not a serious candidate. That so many right of center folks seem smitten by him reflects badly on conservatives/Republicans in general.
If he actually runs for President, Donald Trump will most likely fill a spoiler role much like Perot did. He will split the opposition to Obama thus guaranteeing him a second term.
This is what I am saying. He is no Ross Perot. If the wimpgop does run with a Weenie like Romney or huckster, only idiots will vote for the GOP. Independents pretty much despise Obama. I do not know one Jew who would vote for Obama again. (I know there are plenty but he won’t get them all again)
Independents and people whose lives are far worse than in 2008 will vote for trump.
They'll sign up for an account 10 yrs back and let it set, they attach Reagan's name to their nick and come in from the DU and bash Republicans but never give us an alternative. Now they are getting a little complacent.. anti-enterprise. Probably living with their mothers and wearing sandals smoking pot and masking as republicans but all they do is bash them.
Bingo. You definitately do have a brain.
If you want to reelect Obama, Thr last thing you’d do is push his eligibility and his deals with rezko, etc in Thr mainstream media.
All trump is saying about the GOP is that if the weenies don’t want him as their nominee, he thinks the American people still would by far prefer him.
Like Miller, Ron Silver backed Bush in the WOT. IIRC, he remained a liberal until his death. Don't know if he died a registered Dem or Pub. At best, Silver was a neocon.
The facts indicate Trump is a liberal.
I believe when he says he’s an honorable guy thereofore I must believe he’s sincere when he says he’s prolife. He’s got my attention. I would also like a choice and if the GOP puts in someone like Romney I’ll be able to vote for Trump otherwise I won’t be voting.
