I’ll promise not to go overboard on “Trump bashing” if his supporters will promise to stop going overboard on claims he is some kind of life-long staunch über-conservative.

I've read just about every Trump thread, and I've never heard any of his supporters make such a claim. I've heard many of his detractors claim he's a life-long staunch uber liberal, not to mention a Hillary shill. Either claim is absurd. But he may yet turn out to be the best viable alternative.

I’m not confident about Cruz’ mechanics, and I think the wife is a big problem.

Anyone concerned about Cruz and not Trump isn't really going to be taken seriously but those who attack the wives are the lowest form of scum.

Reagan was also a party outcast...Even his own VP (George Bush SR) despised his "VooDoo economics".

The only reason GHW Bush was elected was because of Reagan...sadly Bush was too stupid to know it, hence one term.

Bush was on Reagan’s ticket because the same bunch of high end trash in New England controlled the party’s purse, the party’s publicity and party’s patronage. Reagan did himself good by forcing them to acknowledge that he controlled the desires of the masses and all the other stuff was wind without him. As I recall, to be corrected, Reagan and the Bush family were not soul buddies.

Listen, brother, whether or not I’m “the lowest form of scum” is subjective, BUT - the Democrats are going to nominate either Elizabeth Warren or someone else who is going to run against the money center banks - and if you think nominating a man whose wife is a managing director of Goldman Sachs (that’s not an “attack”, BTW, that’s a fact) to run against Warren or whomever - if you think that’s not going to become the centerpiece of the campaign, you’re nuts.

By the way, cripplecreek, I like most of your opinions and I would never call you scum over something like this.

I don’t really care what you like. Anyone who attacks the wives is bottom feeding scum.

Yeah, but I didn’t attack Mrs. Cruz. The fact that she’s a managing director at Goldman Sachs is not an attack. The fact that it will be an issue in the campaign if Cruz is nominated is not an attack.

I hope she’s very successful. I don’t have any problem with what she does,

However, I think it’s a major problem for a would-be President in present conditions, and the time to think about it is now.

“Romney was on the way and then all of a sudden Huckabee decided to get out and throw all of his delegates at the time, happened in West Virginia, I think, to McCain, which put McCain over the top. At that point Romney could have just launched on those two guys, and he could have told everybody what a bunch of reprobates he thought they were. But he didn’t.”

McCain ‘08 or in ‘12 or Romney ‘08 or in ‘12......Would it have made a difference? They both would have lost in either elections!

some of the GOPe are so vicious in their attacks on Trump that they end up throwing their support to a third party because they can’t walk back their criticism of Trump.

Some of these RINO clowns who participated gleefully in destroying Sarah Palin would come away from bashing The Donald with Trump marks on their rumps. He is going to steamroller these smartass punks who think they know better than the voters.

I think some are already finding that out. In fact, I'm very confident of that.☺

Way to go. Just completely ignore what is making Trump popular and reach across the aisle for some compromise pity.

I suppose I was exaggerating a bit. Perhaps it's more a matter of his supporters conveniently and completely ignoring his past liberal-ness than claiming he is a life-long conservative, but it amounts to essentially the same thing. Politicians who radically change their positions on important issues late in their lives/careers bother me. It is difficult for me to accept the change as sincere.

With that said, unless Ted Cruz starts really kicking ass, you may be correct about Trump ending as the only viable candidate.

How did you get that from my post?

Do you deny that up until relatively recently Trump held very different positions on immigration and gun rights than those he is currently espousing?

I don’t care much for Mitch mccinnell’s wife. And if Laura could have done a little housework, maybe W wouldn’t have had to throw the border open to coddle her laziness

McConnell's wife is fair game because she was George W. Bush's Secretary of Labor.

Mississippi was it for me. There is no walking back the tactics the GOPe used to get Cochran reelected.

Nothing Republicans do will surprise me. Unless they actually govern according to their platform—then I suppose I’d be shocked.
