I have a bad feeling that RINO Trump will suck the air away from the real conservatives and help throw the nomination to Jeb.
( and yes Trump is a RINO. He’s previously said he identifies as a Democrat and his political donations read like a Who’s Who of dem bigwigs )
I hate to say you are an idiot so I won’t but you might be an alien. Donald Trump is the only one who is standing up and telling the truth. Finally Rush and Sean were supporting him today and now tonight Mark Levin. You have been listening to George Will and Charles Krauthammer and Tokyo Rove for too long. :-)
Cute pics and quips about Trump’s hair?
These diversions no longer work. They’re weak, worn out, over used and seen for what they are.
If you guys were being paid for this, you should be fired.
Nice photoshop. You’re really threatened by a truth teller.
He likely dropped in the polls after voters decided he would not run. And he gained his 20% or higher support well before April, as early as February 2011. He'd been speaking and making noises for a couple of months before April, which this article presents as if Trump's rise and fall all took place in April. It didn't.
Who will you vote for?
Not quite. Cruz knows Trump is driving the clown car so when he implodes, and he will, he knows full well there is only one candidate with a credible anti-amnesty stand. Cruz is simply playing the waiting game.
This is Trump's race to lose.
That's an incredibly stupid comment. If you were referring to his comment about ILLEGAL aliens I have said before that I agree. I just don't want him for the Republican nominee because he is a lifelong liberal democRAT.
I agree. Can’t suck the air out when it’s being blown out by squishy liberal “Republicans”.
Please post to any post of mine wherein I have ever said anything about liberal Donald Trump's hair.
You can't, just like you can't refute the fact you are supporting a lifelong liberal democRAT.
Besides Cruz, exactly who IS there to vote for?
I can tell you that no matter what I WILL NOT vote for Jeb, Christie, Rubio, Fiorina or any other left wing nut-job calling themselves “Republican” while lecturing my on what not to say about illegal alien criminals.
Trump is, at least, making them look like the fools they are.
Not this time. This time they are important, as Fox is using them to filter who gets to the debate. Failing to get on stage at the debate will be tough to overcome, you will have been sorted into the marginal category, from which you probably will never recover. Certainly Bobby Jindal isn't going anywhere.
We are several months away from the first state primary, and then it is state by state, not national.
Again true for the first tier candidates, but probably not for all the candidates in low single digits and 7th or 8th place and down. Plus: Cruz is also down around 7th place in Iowa and New Hampshire, although he's in 4th in South Carolina. That's not good enough to win the nomination.
In general to win the nomination the successful candidate will have to win a bunch of states, you are right.
Romney won 42 States. Sa ntorum won 11, Newt 2 and Ron Paul won the territory of the Marianas Islands or something.
Can Ted Cruz win Texas? He's ahead in the polls there, 20% to Perry's 16%. What other states can he win?
At this point he's starting to feel a bit like Lindsey - a favorite son.
Maybe we will have a brokered convention! That would be fun.
Except recall the problem --the disaster -- caused by Perot wasn't that he "sucked the air out of the room" (which, following the political changes and events over the past 20 years, is OK by me with all the RINOs/GOPEs running around attempting to hide their emnity for conservatives.)
No, the problem was that Perot ran as a third-party candidate (the Reform Party as I recall), that took votes away from the GOP candidates in the general election who were weak enough without Perot running. I don't think Trump has any plans to run if he's not the GOP nominee which is the right thing for him to do.
I say let Trump stir things up "real good" in these early stages ... right up to the primaries if he can last. His presence hurts the duplicitous GOP candidates the most ... and it's so very entertaining watching our "professional candidates" try to reconcile their political calculations with the truth which is proving to be very difficult for them indeed!
There’s this huge—I mean huge—gap to the right of the Republican Party. We have nowhere to go. Don’t like Common Core, immigration amnesty, special favors to big business, free trade, etc? Where can we go? Jebbie Bush or the mini-Bush Rubio? LOL!
Could be...But who's better for America; Bush, Christie???
However I wouldn’t vote for him,.
You'd vote for the deceivers instead???
Why would you assume because I don't support one liberal Republican I would support another?
