But they just can't be trusted. W was opposed to amnesty in the debate with Kerry in 2004, then pushed it like heck in 2006 and 2007, and he still pushes it.
Juan McCain took a strong "secure the border first" stance and 2008, and again in 2010, but is yet to do one damned thing to secure the border first.
And Boner and McConnell and crews have done nothing to keep the promises made during the 2014 campaigns to fight Obamacare and stop Obama's illegal executive amnesty. They'd done nothing they promised.
Force them out of the tall grass and they just lie and lie and lie.
Did Rove mention he blew $400 million dollars of other people’s money
on loser Romney?
Good point. I think a lot of folks, myself included, like seeing Bush sink in the polls. Of course Trump will never be pres and my money sez he is in to push Bush out....fine.
Let’s face it, there are waaaaaay too many candidates and a shake out is needed soon.
Rubio will be on the ticket...bet on it. VP.
The RATS are spending a lot of time , energy and money going after him....the others not so much.
It is a teachable moment for the GOP.
However, I doubt they will listen and learn.
This is bigger than trump. It’s about telling the truth in the face of liberal fascism and sticking to it. That takes guts.
**********
Its about political courage and genuine concern about the direction the country is heading. And Trump’s outspoken opinions are a big contrast with a party that stands for nothing and hides in the shadows.
Rubio is finished.
I never though the United Stares would resemble Brazil....but here we are. We are no longer a serious nation; so the rise of Trump is no shock.
I think this is the example of a true loose canon. He is not be holding to anyone. He is not dependent on offending anyone. He is talking about stuff most candidates want to avoid.
Jesse Ventura was like that too.
These polls show that the illegal immigrant problem weighs heavily on the grassroots. The proposals of the elite are a thinly disguised schemes of corporate welfare. The corporations get cheap labor and the federal government subsidizes all the programs to make up for the shortfall of a living wage.
will Trump be on the ticket?
**************
Maybe not. Action, conviction and passion frightens a lot of people. The GOP desperately wants to maintain the status quo. It will work tirelessly to protect the establishment and will undermine Trump at every turn.
Favorite son syndrome?
Christie is not only bad on 2A, he’s as bad as Jebster on the illegal alien inundation. If we don’t stop it, we lose our country.
Being against
has very wide spectrum appeal
Really? Can you say Barach Obama. Never held a real job, non-stop talker about the po widdle bwack peeps, relected by people that can’t even show a real ID. Trump won’t be the top, but, he’ll be ahead of a lot of the so called sensible candidates.
His kids and management team would run the Trump enterprises. He's 69, and probably not worried about pay cuts, but about leaving his businesses to his kids.
But Trump is a little bit different. Most people know of Trump from TV, and have a positive or negative view of him. And since he isn't known as a politician, he doesn't carry that association with him among the casual voter.
So, when he starts grabbing headlines with some outspoken truth, a lot of people jump on to support him.
The pundits say that 40% will always vote Republican, 40% will vote Democrat, and the other 20% decide the winner. Unfortunately, that 20% is among the most uninterested and uneducated voter there is. And if 10-12 per cent of those unaffiliated start to believe that it would be cool to have a Reality TV guy run the country the same way he ran the board room on The Apprentice, then he could win. The hard part is the primary. As good as he is at making deals, he could swing his way into enough support at an open convention to get the nomination.
I'm still kind of on the fence about him, but one thing I am certain of; he would be much better than what we've had for the last eight years, and if a Democrat wins in 2016, it will be even worse.
I think he's on a glide path to the White House.
Trump’s answer would be that he hires contractors for that. In every contract there is probably a clause that every hire must be vetted. He (trump) would have grounds for a lawsuit if the contract terms were knowingly ignored.
You cannot expect the leader to vet every person hired by a contractor.
The Democrats like to pride themselves as being the party of “movers and shakers.”

The Republicans pride themselves on being “losers and fakers”.
