The American people have been waiting for someone to take their side against the fraudulently documented foreigners and their employers.

It didn’t have to be Trump, but nobody else stepped up.

No.

This clinches it:

Kanye West for VP!

We are talking landslide to end all landslides.

We are talking Obama level percentage of the black vote.

I stopped reading when you compared him to Reagan. Sorry.

If Sanders is the nominee, he will go down to a George McGovern-like 49 state defeat.

No, he won't. Sadly this is not the same electorate the county had in 1972 or 1980.

I expect Bernie or someone just like him will be elected President within my lifetime.

Here’s what Trump has to say moving forward when the media asks him About Hillary:

“I’m no longer commenting on Hillary. I’ll be shocked if she’s my opponent. She’s a criminal. She’ll be under indictment soon. Did you really study what she did? The illegal emails. The national secrets of our country on a server in her bathroom closet? The bribes at The Clinton Foundation. The lies of Benghazi right to the face of the parents of dead soldiers. She’s a mess. She’s going to be indicted. She’s not headed to the White House. She’s headed to the Big House. So I am preparing for Bernie, or a last minute replacement like Joe Biden as my opponent. Hillary is no longer viable- unless she’s saved by a corrupt political fix.”


Trump is pretty much saying this, about Hellary, already. He’s doing a fine job of branding her as a criminal....and of branding Bernie the Commie as a sosialist/communist.

"I'm no longer commenting on Hillary. I'll be shocked if she's my opponent. She's a criminal. She'll be under indictment soon. Did you really study what she did? The illegal emails. The national secrets of our country on a server in her bathroom closet? The bribes at The Clinton Foundation. The lies of Benghazi right to the face of the parents of dead soldiers. She's a mess.

Say that...publicy...day and night. Brand Hillary as a criminal. Make her middle name Hillary "soon to be indicted" Clinton. And like Jeb, Ben and Ted...she's done. History. Yesterday's news.

So true. That's pretty good advice.

Mr. Root- You might have been the first, but typing this is one who happened to be of the many who seconded the thought. Not that we knew of any pathways, gimmicks, or the 'right people'. Only that we felt THIS MAN to be a true, decent American patriot. This was based on his well known history. After his announcement, WTP pledged to work to make that happen. And the passing Independence Day holiday was made much brighter holding onto that assumption. DJT is correct - Government is run by a bunch of hacks, wackos, and imbeciles. Being a successful business man, he knows business. The other candidates - they know arts and entertainment. GO! TRiUMPh

Make it happen!! America stands with you to see our country Great, again.

Don’t care that all senators hate Cruz. They hate Sessions, too.
Having said that, I could lean toward Trump.

Sound advice. I expect Donald to start doing it very soon.

I agree. He doesn’t have to say much. Just shake his head and sadly mention her crimes and then move on.

This seems a little bit like concern trolling to me.

I think Trump should highlight all of Hillary’s problems, but he should probably shy away from extreme, yet-to-be-proven declarations. “Soon-to-be-indicted”. What if she doesn’t get indicted? Then Trump was wrong.

He should bring up the questions and keep hammering on them, certainly. But making sweeping declarations doesn’t really serve much purpose when it comes to winning the nomination, because he’s already winning. When he moves to the general, he’ll have to soften up his rhetoric a bit to attract Dem crossover votes. You can point out that Hillary is terrible without prematurely declaring her a convicted war criminal.

I don’t think Trump is looking to bloggers for advice though, so this is all a moot point. Pretty sure Trump has come up with a fine strategy without the “benefit” of what I’m totally sure is nothing but good-natured, sincere advice.

So Root is claiming Trump funneled millions f dollars to a criminal, and that’s supposed to be a plus?

I was disappointed that the author missed the KEY ADVICE that Trump needs to hear:

“Being anti-PC and blunt is wonderful, but please be careful with making so many unnecessary verbal blunders.”

Don’t get me wrong, I love Trump’s dismantling of the PC regime and the socio-economic fascist regime. No one could do it better than Trump.

But his comment about Mexicans being rapists and criminals was too easy to twist by the media. Sure, I understand what he was trying to say, but he’s not sophisticated enough to present his idea in a bomb-proof way that won’t be twisted. After that gaffe, several million Hispanics in the US will NEVER vote for him.

I know what Trump meant to say: a larger-than-average percentage of illegals commit rapes/crimes, but his sentence was weak and seemed to say that ALL or MOST of them commit rapes/crimes. He blew it.

And his comments at his N.H. victory speech about China and Japan were horribly worded. I know Japan very well and I know how those words will be perceived over there when translated into Japanese and broadcast on television.

He said: “We’re going to beat China, Japan, beat Mexico at trade. We’re going to beat all of these countries that are TAKING so much of our money away from us on a daily basis.”

The Japanese hearing the translation that “THEY ARE TAKING SO MUCH OF OUR MONEY AWAY FROM US” makes it sound like the Japanese are THIEVES!! My gosh, it’s so unnecessarily insulting.

Again, what Trump meant to say is they are TAKING BUSINESS AWAY FROM US. Big difference. Also, Japan & China GIVE us money by investing in US Treasuries and subsidizing our debt. So it was a completely IGNORANT, MISPLACED statement on Trump’s part. He blew another opportunity to make a good point about American business competitiveness.

Finally, the Megyn Kelly “bleeding out of wherever” comment was just soooo insane. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, no matter how bad Megyn’s debate questions were!

I will vote for Trump, but in the “foot in the mouth” cagegory, he is NO RONALD REAGAN and he must school himself to not do so many gaffes.

Trump is a PROVINCIAL sort of East-coast seat-of-the-pants real-estate success. He doesn’t have finesse to deal with people from other countries in the world via a deep understanding of the nuances of their cultures.

So the message to TRUMP is take a page from the Reagan book and learn to be ANTI-PC — but more calibrated about it — so you don’t make any gaffes.

It’s fantastic to alienate the Left, but don’t give the Left any major gaffes to sink their teeth into.

My bet is that Trump doesn’t say anything close to this.

I was the first to compare Trump to Ronald Reagan.

That's not something to brag about. "I was the first to compare Kim Kardashian to Audrey Hepburn".

Excellent analysis. Trump seems to have mastered the Saul Alinsky method of destroying an opponent:

From Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals":

RULE 12: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions. (This is cruel, but very effective. Direct, personalized criticism and ridicule works.)

The Democrats have been using this tactic to delegitimize conservatives since the 1960's. Trump is the first Republican to figure out what they're doing and turn it against them, and he has them on the defensive.
