I have listened to a couple of anti-Trump rants and they have been very persuasive in that, a lot of documentation was provided that he was this and he was that in the past

But one nagging element keeps me on his side;

He works

He's a workaholic and he has always worked

He has always paid his own way, and he has reared his family to be beholding to no one but their own efforts


And if there is ONE mainstay of the Republican platform it is the independence of anyone, especially government.


So, in my opinion ... there can be no socialist nor democrat core element in Trump ...

It is impossible for him to consider amnesty, nor allowing illegals to remain and any of the other accusations some have thrown at him


DADDY'S ..... What is the ONE thing you demand of that rapist scum your daughter brought home and told you they want to marry ?

DOES HE WORK !


That is my yet to mature thought I had last night while sitting insomniac at the computer ..... more to come ..... I think

Loved the article. Thank you for posting it. Parts made me laugh really hard, but it was very insightful.

The GOPe keeps wondering how a NYC real estate mogul beat a good, honest fellow like ole Jeb. Right about now, a secret RNC meeting is being held in a country club grill room. The GOPe can/t figure out who can beat that big mouthed clown from Manhattan, who is about to blaze a trail of destruction over their party not seen since Sherman and his army of blue bellies arrived in Georgia.

With their last dying gasp, establishment types are grasping onto one last hope: that GOPe Party rules will make it hard for Trump to clinch the nom.

Trump is winning by pulling 30-40 percent of states' votes, making party-designated winner-take-all- thresholds out of reach. Party rules make Trump/s securing the nom that much more difficult: (1) formally: winning a majority of delegates, or, (2) informally: broad support being so obvious it stifles competition.

Piffle. All of the GOPe rules mean nothing, nada, zippo. The fact is Donald Trump/s towering wins mean that he now OWNS the Republican Party. Anything the GOPe did is DOA....including rules that were meant to cement the establishment candidates in power.

THE BEST PART is GOPe party leaders are scared to death of Trump/s candidacy. Wait til they find out Trump is making his own rules.

A valid hallmark and well thought out

Would be refreshing to not have a government leech in the WH

Why did good ole Jebbie bomb? His biggest mistake was to dismiss the base as unnecessary.....b/c he heard the Bush elders constantly belittling and demeaning conservatives.

The Bush campaign should become a standard case study in campaign school of what not to do. I am not sure I have ever seen a major campaign, with such obvious assets across the board, so completely and cluelessly misread the dynamics of an election.

Every word out of Bush/s mouth was mind-bogglingly stupid.

It was like his mind was trolling the 90/s for campaign slogans.

IMHO, after all was said and done...his act of love inanity, and the rest....Jebbie/s obsession w/ highlighting his (gag) terrific years as FLA governor proved to be the death knell for his ambitions.

Dragging out GWB to stump for Jeb was a mistake of enormous magnitude. It dredged up all the debacles of the Iraq invasion ...including GWB standing on the ship ignorantly declaring mission accomplished....as the US was forced to sink trillions into Mideast dirtholes...even to this day b/c of his incompetence.

With the implosion of Jeb, the RNC is pushing his smoldering golf cart off the primary trail and must now rally around someone else. Will it be Rubio?

That would make a great cartoon. Trump in an A-10 or 747 strafing Jebs golf cart into a smoldering, driverless wreck with Rove et al pushing it after a fleeing Jeb.

First, I knew Jeb was unworthy because of letting Terri Schiavo die such a horrific death. Then, I knew he was unlikeable when the campaign first started. Third, I knew he was not his own man because whatever he said or did on his own was mind-boggingly dumb. Final stage I knew he was delusional when there was a report that he'd made an ad in which he treated what happened to Teri Schiavo as a positive.

The silver lining is that with GWBs administration under scrutiny and the new book Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family, the whole dynasty's image has been destroyed by Jeb's ill-conceived candidacy.

Does anyone have the actual raw vote #s from last night? Was it 260,000 for Trump?

Music to my ears.

I’m not sure about the writer’s take on Hillary and Bernie. Yes, Hillary won, but it was much closer than what was expected a few weeks ago.

What are now the odds of a trump/cruz ticket? It still makes sense in terms of supporters of both being anti-establishment. The Canadian thing can be put to rest with some kind of ruling or legislation. That makes me hope it is 50/50.
