Mexicans love blood “sports.” They are a very peculiar nationality.

Some Independents and Republicans will vote for Jeb... as there are many people who think political confrontation is distasteful and are turned off — what makes these namby - pamby people tick I do not know.. but in general Confrontation for them is NEGATIVE.. in any relationship... never mind it clears the air — it reveals real positions on issues ... there are just a bunch of weak people - the same ones who cherish lily livered Romney ...

The Poll Averages used by FoxNews to select the Top 10 in the Debate tell the true story. And this article is a blatant lie or fantasy wishful thinking ... Because if this article were true the Top 10 selected by the Poll averages would be a totally different lineup. We will see tons of Jeb Bush supporters - mainly financed by the GOP/RNC/U.S. Chamber of Commerce spreading such bullshit - they haven’t even started yet.

This article “Debate stage: Voters like Bush, Rubio. A lot don’t like Trump” is a total joke. And the reason Trump is liked extremely well is the pussies we have had for Presidential Candidates and the wonky pussies we have in the Senate and some in the House... People especially Conservatives and Right leaning moderates WANT LEADERS — and few to be found in the last six years or more in the Republican Party and here is one reason - The Main Reason Why Trump is POPULAR... and why people LIKE TRUMP.... contrary to the idiot article...

The reason for the Republican ‘empty platform’ - from the last Presidential Election to this one - is that Republican Presidential candidates are cowed by the shrieking and shrill screams of violations of Political Correctness flung at them by the Liberal-Left-Progressives- the OFFENDED ONES. These Presidential Candidates just do not have the courage or ability to combat it. And much of it nothing more than over done frantic - even false claims of offending someone or some group. So the Republican Candidates just mastered the art of muddling through so as to avert and avoid the shrill chorus of leftist PC mud throwing. The net result of this is that Republican Presidential Candidates talk mush and platitudes instead of dealing with problems and suggesting solutions.

This is quite an effective weapon the Political Liberal-Left-Progressives have devised. They and their constituencies have become a group of the constantly and continually offended - all at the drop of a hat. It WORKS - it shuts up Republicans... The main reason it works — benefactors who finance the campaigns of Republicans cannot handle the PC heat and threaten to cut off funds ... so Republicans become meek sheep and dummy up.

Trump has the money and he just doesn’t give a damn and will speak his mind because no one is going to cut off his funding. For the time being Trump is Teflon Man and nothing sticks. Personally I hopes it lasts all the way through the November 2016 Presidential Elections — and Trump tells all the perpetually offended to GO SUCK AN EGG....

I blame the lack of backbone, lack of resoluteness and having no political courage on the part of Republicans for not facing up to the challenge as Donald Trump is doing now. The dumb butt Republicans fell into a conventional wisdom that just be Go Along To Get Along be Politically Correct nicey nicey guys -— do not stand up for what you believe in SHEEP. And the other side has been beating them at the Presidential Level. Had McCain and / or Romney acted like a Donald Trump there never would have been a President Obama and certainly not a second election for him ... But McCain and Romney were WIMPS because they let themselves be controlled totally by the GOP/RNC / U.S. Chamber of Commerce and tried to be everything to everybody and could not then be distinguished from a doormat ....
