Trump has done more to poison the political tone than anyone in my lifetime.

Nice, poison-free-toned tag line you have there.

Yes, and I want to see his loan disclosures, the amount and how he plans to pay for them.

I want to know why he would date his own daughter and why he has had so many wives.

Trump is such a douche.

“Awwww....Trump is mad because he didn’t think of it first.”

No I think Donald Trump didn’t think of it at all just like none of the other GOP candidates thought of it. Just Ted Cruz. What does that tell you? Sad, cynical and desperate.

I could see the flyers costing him several percentage points on Monday.

Yup...and it doesn't mean that Trump will automatically get those votes either.

I'll wager one of the single digit candidates gets a boost from this drop in Cruz support.

I heard him say it in a debate. That is the last time I heard him talk about healthcare. And no I don’t watch the politicians over and over and over again.

I look at some key issues and then decide.

Rubio — Yes on Amnesty (no good to me)
Cruz — Good for TPA (Pissed me off)
Trump — Likes Canada’s single payer system

Out of those 3 options Cruz is the only one I can stomach at this time. But I’d still vote for Trump to piss off the GOPe.

Well Cruz is not really in violation of Iowa voting laws but I would put to you that he’s in violation of evangelical Christian values. :-)

Desperate Cruz, he is now saying Trump is owing 480 million and maybe billions.

Funny. You know my IQ without even knowing me.

Nice to know an IQ of 138 is too dumb for you. I see you are learning from Trump.

I do now! Which puts me in the less painful position of not having to fret over the optics of every tack Ted takes to win.

May see him return the scorched-earth against Trump.

Thanks. I’ll see if I can get it online. I haven’t watched FTN in over 15 years.

A a Trump supporter I agree, however I also appreciate that these are tactics in support of a larger strategy. Trump is (rightly) concerned about the RNC still looking to double-cross him with some sort of "brokered convention" that would make "Mr. 2%" Jeb the nominee he was supposed to be and that they always wanted. So the strategy is to come on strong, crushing everyone before him to erect a sense of inevitability that will defeat the RNC machine.

To understand what's going on you have to see that Trump is running not just against the rest of the field but against the system that created them. That's the root corruption that needs to be cleared out, and Trump is the only one with a clear strategy and plan to do that. Cruz and Carson also clearly see the problem as well, but I don't believe they have any clue how to deal with it effectively. They'll just rail against it to little avail.

If you listen to his many interviews, he's fully capable of speaking very articulately about issue and policy details and I expect we'll see a pivot to a more "Presidential" tone once the RNC capitulates and is brought to heel. Take a look at his position papers for examples. Despite media hyperventilating, these are sound proposals that give a glimpse into a Trump Administration's policy agenda--one that a goodly portion of the electorate agrees with.

In the meantime, it's the bluster that draws the media like flies to honey, so that's what you're seeing for the most part, so that's going to continue. It's part of the Let Trump be Trump campaign strategy and a key element of the Art of the Deal to elect the 45th President of the United States.

It is serious.

So serious that Drudge had a headline about it.

It’s not going away.

Which website? I went to donaldjtrump.com and couldn’t find the healthcare stuff. Please give me a link—I’m seriously wanting to read it.

“I heard him say it in a debate.”

No, you did not. You may have thought you heard it, but if he had said that during a debate, it would be a 24-7 news cycle, not just a glossed over fact exposed by a few posters on this site.

Gilmore sounded pretty rough as he spoke. And Kasich sounds like a dork. I didn’t see anything smooth in them :-)
