“He’s a bit late in coming to this party, IMO.”

Lots of folks are tuning in late. The events of recent years under Obama have woken and frightened many, and well should.

>>They’ll write about anything to avoid recognizing and reporting on dem voters crossing over for Trump.

I was chatting this AM with a black gentleman who is a regular at a Republican breakfast I go to. We were chatting afterwards, and he offered a comment that bears on this. He has lots of family in NY and Chicago, and of course they’re almost all Democrats. He says several of them have already said they would vote for Trump!

There’s something big happening here, folks.

“....but many tea party members are still undecided....”
I hope it isn’t Stockholm Syndrome; where an individual develops an affection for their captors (GOPe) and can’t break away from them.

It would be much better to, fully, implement the Fair Tax,
LOL! The Fairtax is one of the biggest frauds to ever come down the pike.

The sales pitches for the Fairtax are nothing but lies, suppositions, conjecture and wishful thinking...Sorry you fell for it.

He's built an empire by keeping his mouth shut on some things that could have harmed his business.

Now the empire is built he can spend his time and say whatever he wants (or haven't you noticed?) to take the country back.

It's too bad most more people don't understand what it takes to be successful.

I like Trump because he is a plain talker. But I am concerned that he simply does not have the street creds that a person like Ted Cruz certainly has. Unless I hear from Trump a precise and clearly stated dedication to conservative values, I am voting for Ted Cruz all the way.

Then prepare yourself for another long run of misery.

“Who else but Trump, Cruz, and Carson to rally around. The rest are serious losers.”

Why do you have Carson in there?

If it’s before the election, it’s not too late.

“We don’t need to elect a wolf in sheep’s clothing.’

What Trump does NOT come across as is a sheep.

Any policies that say Fair usually aren’t.

The Fairy taxers are like school kids that dreamed up tax plan during their lunch hour....’we still a have a few kinks to work out.’

If they’re in the tea party, they are, by definition, not held captive by the GOPe.

Ted and Trump are unlikely to come head to head. Whichever one is last standing should get your vote.

Aren’t you the uncouth one?

Have you looked into the man’s past? He has recently favored and espoused Obama-like policies. He’s all over the map on key topics and only a few years ago was a Democrat. You won’t have a clue what you are voting for, but if you’re ok w that, fine. To each his own. Just try to tamp down your rudeness. Or head over to DU.

I welcome Trump's fighting spirit for America. This comment..."Obama has openly lied to U.S. citizens with no apologies, he’s ignored the Constitution, inflamed race relations and urged Hispanics to punish Republican “enemies.” He abandoned our allies, appeased tyrants, coddled adversaries and used the Crusades as an excuse for inaction as Islamist terrorists slaughter their way across the Middle East."....is all the more reason to put some faith in a man like Trump....he sure isn't perfect but he I think he is sincere about getting rid of Obamacare, stopping Iran, illegal immigration but most of all I think Trump will get rid of government waste, at least a major part of it. I think he truly takes pride in being an American, he loves his country.

The Obama's have made America as racist as the days of Jim Crow Laws which the Democrats wrote! They were the activists for segregation; they are responsible today for keeping the American Negro on their welfare plantations.

If anyone can turn this nation around an get her back on a track of liberty...not the debtor nation Obama has done nothing about except to add to the debt....If anyone can come close it is the NON-Politically Correct, no ones puppet, Donald Trump.
