Donald Trump looks almost as inevitable as Hillary looked at a similar point in the 2008 presidential race.
Hillary’s problem turned out to be that she couldn’t fight back against her chief rival, Barack Obama, without appearing to be racist and losing the black vote.
Are there Republican candidates whom Donald Trump won’t be able to fight back against without losing a large segment of the Republican base? Maybe the two most pro-religious candidates, Ben Carson and Mike Huckabee, could be a problem, as would Carly Fiorina because she’s a woman and aggressive hits from Donald Trump — the only kind he knows how to make — could alienate prospective voters.
Today we’re enjoying watching Donald Trump go after pompous fools like John McCain and Lindsey Graham, and we’ll cheer if he finds a good pretext to annihilate Jeb Bush with his ill-gotten corporate millions; but we won’t be happy if he starts beating up on our favorites, particularly Ted Cruz, which he can be expected to do if Ted Cruz threatens to win the nomination.
My feeling is the Chicago Mob blackmailed the Clintons over Arkancides and the Clintons were unable to use their vaunted private detective operation (Palladino & Sutherland) to reveal Baraq's phony life story.
Actually, I'm cheering him going after all the establishment on the illegal alien question.
I have no intention of voting for him in the primary unless its no other choice than him vs a RINO (Jeb!, Kasich, Christie, Gramnesty)
Now if it was him vs ______(fill in the blank Dhimmicrap)_____ in the general, then sure, no problem.
But that's a long way off and he's far from my first choice...and I'd imagine the vast majority of FReepers' first choice as well.
All the top tier GOP candidates except Walker have beltway stink on them. Since the GOP base is beyond disgusted with DC it’s easy pickings for Trump.
