“people HATE Trump”

Well, what do we expect from people that write like third-graders? Trump probably talks over your head.

so many of the early attacks on Trump - from questioning his conservative bona fides to making fun of the way he talked - fell flat. Trump's voters simply didn't care about these things.

That's a fact. Trump-supporting FReepers who replied to this thread mostly said, he's not and it doesn't matter: How is Trump.2016 any more conservative than Romney.2012? [vanity].

[ConservingFreedom]

come August and September Trump will become a byword here as he betrays the conservative base on issue after issue.

Quite likely - but it's not clear that his FR supporters will care.

Cruz sadly many not have any chance either.

The Trump phenomenon. He knows what people want.

I didn’t get it.

Do you really think that big government statist New York Times can explain it?

They don’t get it.

Cruz sadly many not have any chance either.

He many not? Why he butter many giraffe? Not!

I can't always persuade people to “vote” in the primaries, but I can usually manage to convince them to vote in the general.

I am lucky that I rarely have to deal with people on a personal level who would consider voting for a communist. I didn't have to trash-talk down Cruz, all I had to say was “watch his professional politician NWO Republican Christian schtick.Look all around you at those you know to be practicing Christians by their daily actions.”

Compare/contrast with the odious Westboro Baptist bunch, who also loudly proclaimed themselves to be “Christians”.

How many times have they said he’s done, his campaign is over too.

One safe assumption I can make about Trump is if he displayed in the past the criminal behavior of most of our elected criminals of both parties, he would be in jail. ...

"One safe assumption I can make about Soros is if he displayed in the past the criminal behavior of most of our elected criminals of both parties, he would be in jail. ..."

One safe assumption I can make about Trump is if he displayed in the past the criminal behavior of most of our elected criminals of both parties and only made $80,000 per year, he would be in jail.

Keep kidding yourselves. When the guy who changes the oil on my car starts to talk to me about why he supports Trump, you not facing a voter revolt, you are facing a voter revolution.
