Oh please. Trump could not have anticipated how crazy the elite would go trying to stop his campaign. Do you really thing he’s in it for anyone else, considering the economic hit and the assault on his reputation?
so....the GOPe now wants to join the Bill Ayers crowd in sending us all off to re-education camps?
She got that right for all the wrong reasons!
This isn’t just about angry Republicans, there are millions of working class Democrats who with support a Republican who addresses their concerns.
We appreciate you sharing the internal deliberations of the Trump campaign.
I guess he's looking for payoff eh?
Yes I do.
Cruz is getting MAYBE 1/10 the negative coverage of Trump.
If Ted Cruz wants this nomination he'll have to find a way to rise above the also-ran field, poll better AND BEAT DONALD TRUMP.
I don't think he can do it. Mostly because he needs the GOPe money.
An argument could be made that not a single GOP politician in Washington DC are conservatives, no matter what they say.
I reject the premise, but even if it were true the Left depends on keeping their low-information base angry (black churches are burning!) so I fail to see the problem.
He loved Hillary Clinton; now he thinks she’s the worst. He was very much in favor of abortion rights before he opposed them. And he might be running as a Republican today, but he was once a registered Democrat who called for legalizing drugs, a massive one-time 14.25 percent tax on the wealthy and staying out of wars that didn’t present a “direct threat” to the U.S. In many ways, he’s been to the left of Clinton and even Bernie Sanders on some issues.
But in Trump’s world, there is no truth but now. Here are some of his most glaring flips (or convenient evolutions):

Think about it. Cruz as VP, a very smart and experienced lawyer who knows and loves the constitution. A little in the background, undoing the damage Obama and the Supreme Court have done to the Constitution. Four (or eight) years of Trump, then eight years of Cruz. It doesn't work the other way, because Trump's age would become an issue in eight years. With that many years (12 or 16), maybe the US can be saved. And Cruz could bring along some younger politicians to keep it going.
Well they better vote for Bush in the end. We have the supreme court to consider.
This is the truth, but frankly the GOPe doesn't really care.
They are convinced they don't need to be responsive to their core base. And so we lurch from general election to general election, unable to loft a person capable of actually standing opposed to what the Left is doing to the nation.
The GOPe will be the death of our nation, much more than the Democrats will. The GOPe is the parent that lets their child do anything. Thus the GOPe reveals it is manned by children, and they will be the ruination of us all.
Do you really think that there would be a dimes worth of difference between Hillary or any of the GOPe candidates that are running? Has gaining control of the house and senate made a dimes worth of difference? Both parties are playing for the same team and their deeds prove it.
The GOP doesn't have a Donald Trump problem. It has a problem recognizing that Trump is showing them the most effective way to deal with the loons on the left and their allies in the mainstream media; Stand your ground, don't back down, and hit them back every time they hit you. This is what's driving the left absolutely nuts. Trump isn't reacting to their criticism and name calling the way most Republicans react: backtracking on their comments, apologizing profusely, and begging for forgiveness. Instead, Trump stands his ground, hits them back, and sees his poll numbers go up as a result. They're not use to this, and are going crazy trying to figure out what to do about it.
Agreed, this is Ross Perot populism all over again.
But would Bush even nominate a conservative Justice? Would that perdon be any different than what Hillary would nominate?
First, the GOP must die.
Everything else comes after that.
Sorry just a glib comment to see if anyone took my bait. I completely understand a GOP justice has only at least maybe only a 50% chance of being any good for us.
