CROWD: Cheers!!!!
CROWD: BOOO!!!!!!
"I just hate to see when people don't have common sense, don't have an understanding of what's going on, or perhaps don't want to know- maybe it's campaign contributions, maybe it's special interests, maybe it's lobbyists, but for some reason, some people don't get it, and I don't think they'll be in office much longer..."
Trump goes into Arizona, his FIRST month running for president, draws a crowd of 10,000 people, and attacks one of the most-powerful Republican Senators, (IN MCCAIN'S HOME STATE!) MCCAIN has been a senator for nearly 30 years! Mccain won the Republican nomination, he has friends in high places, a vast-political machine. TRUMP DOESN'T CARE.
Can you imagine Cruz or Paul hitting Mccain that hard in Arizona?
Trump is a bulldozer, a bull through a china shop. Trump will not be stopped by the Republican blue-bloods, nor their conservative PATSIES complicit in maintaining the status quo. Neither Rand Paul, nor Cruz, nor Rubio really WANT to be president, they want to be patient and wait THEIR turn. Why are they running? They WANT to be second place, this insures they keep their senate jobs for 20+ years, and maybe get a shot in the future.
Ready for the script WITHOUT TRUMP? New Hampshire Primary: Jeb -33% Cruz- 22% Paul- 19% Rubio- 16% Carson-9% Perry-3%
65% conservative (divided)- 33% liberal-moderate.
I've seen this bullshit script again and again since 1984, I'm sick of it. Aren't you? Aren't you fed up with "our" party nominating a candidate that 70% of us find unacceptable? Is it really "our" party?
Jeb has over 100-million dollars ALREADY! After New Hampshire, Jeb gets even stronger, winning state after state; eventually securing the nomination as contributions to the conservative candidates dry up.
100 million dollars. That's how much it will cost, MINIMUM, to win the Republican nomination. Take a look at your favorite candidate, (if it's not Trump,) ask yourself, 'can MY guy raise 100 million dollars?' Unless he's Jeb Bush, the answer is no.
...BUT that script has changed. Now there are 2 candidates with 100 million dollars to spend for the Republican nomination. Trump said he will spend WHATEVER it takes. I take him at his word.
The National Republican Party is broken; it's run by an elite class of blue-blood MODERATE pricks. These men do not care about the common man, the Reagan Democrats, as Pat Buchanan called them "the conservatives of the heart."
What do I mean?
There are many, many, many people who earn poverty-level wages who will NEVER vote Democrat because of abortion, and because of other liberal-Democrat positions. The Democrats abandoned this group long ago.
These folks are conservative ideologically. They hate socialism, (even though they don't really understand economics.) They believe in hard work; can't stand welfare recipients. They want their taxes low, they want school choice- I could go on and on and on-
These people are radical, and they have no place to go.
The Democrats hate them, the Republican elites hate them.
4 weeks ago I was very excited about Cruz, Rubio, Jindal, Rand and a few others. Ideologically I am close to all of them.
Why is Jeb the favorite to win the Republican nomination? Money from the top, political machinery, a sympathetic press, a Republican 'intelligentsia' class-
I've watched for many years as The National Republican Party has drifted from the "common man" conservative; they've nominated moderate after moderate. There has not been a true conservative at the top of the national presidential ticket since Reagan; 1984 was a long time ago.
For those of you who do not like the fact that Trump is impure ideologically: I understand your concern; I share it.
But, Donald does have a few things I REALLY like.
First, Trump's fearless. He says whatever he wants; he'll take the heat, and keep plugging.
Second, Trump's rich, very rich. Why was Pat Buchanan NOT elected president? Money. Look at the Trump platform, it's Buchanan's old-platform from the 90s. Being able to self finance will mean Trump can say things no other Republicans can say,
Third, swagger. When Trump walks into a room, he owns it. On the debate stage, he'll own it; Hillary and Jeb do not have a chance.
Fourth, Trump owns his own megaphone- his twitter account is real- he has many real fans- This is worth millions.
Fifth, Trump = ratings. People tune in to watch him speak! Anderson Cooper gave him 2-nights last week! Last week you could have renamed CNN the "Trump channel."
My hope is conservatives choose one candidate and rally around him.
I choose Trump because: he's the smartest guy; he has the swagger our country needs; he has the resources to fight and win the nomination against the will of the Republican elites who gave us the Bushes, Romney, Dole, Mccain-
Your choice: Jeb or Trump.
Love it.
McDork is a bottom dwelling POS.
Yup, the type of sh*t that doesn’t even float.
McCain, the arrogant blowhard, doesn’t know how despised he is all around the country, not just AZ.
Mr. Trump should bring up his embarrassing Navy record. And the servicemen who died because of McCain’s incompetence.
Keep that under your hat, Donald, until an appropriate time.
It is not surprising that rightly or wrongly McCain has been associated with the term “Manchurian Candidate.”
McCain was psychologically broken by the Vietnamese to be used for leftist, totalitarian purposes here.
McCain has won his state the last two times because of extreme party backing and downright dirty politics in my opinion. In my opinion that man is certifiably insane. He’s crazier than a bag of sh!thouse rats (IMO). Whatever good he once was battered and beaten out of him.
As for the assessment scenario of getting some types of Democrats and others on the Trump bandwagon, I think that the story to be told is that regardless of your leanings against rich vs. poor, abortion vs. pro life, religion vs. gays, whatever, the real problem is the problem that illegals beset this country with. Their effect on us as a union is undeniable, and there is no amount of Democrat or RINO equivocation that can explain that away in terms that Americans of all persuasions that have homes, children, jobs (or out of a job but wants to work), pay taxes, want a better future and that elusive “American Dream”.
There is nothing substantively good about the contributions of the masses of refuse Mexico and South America have thrown away and deposited here. Nothing. It only ends in making this union like all the other third world sh!thole countries. And Democrats and RINOs want it because it means votes and cheap labor - and power, control and profit.
Can you imagine Cruz or Paul hitting Mccain that hard in Arizona? Yes I can see Cruz doing it..
.this insures they keep their senate jobs for 20+ years,
Rubio is giving up his senate seat to run for Prez
Take a look at your favorite candidate, (if it’s not Trump,) ask yourself, ‘can MY guy raise 100 million dollars? Cruz can, he has raised 51 million. Wait until the debate.
Your choice: Jeb or Trump.
nice strawman.
Give McCain credit he is an American air ace. He is credited with destroying 5 aircraft. Unfortunately they were all ours. If he hadn't been the son of an Admiral he would have washed out early. The Hanoi Hilton was heroic. But.....?
Oh I love his personal insults!
Jeb being nominated would be the end of the Republican Party. The Bushes have done enough damage.
Great post
Fifth, he is known and liked by the Quintessential LIV - the reality show watcher who never reads or watches news. These "Broncos fans" want their team to win so they can cheer.
Any Republican challenging a sitting senator or congresscritter (McCain) Trump endorses gets all these normally non voting reality show types.
Trump will pull them in and educate them. We need this new source of voters.
Very well put Richard, agree 100%. That is why many of us didn’t vote at all when Romney ran. He never attacked Obama, and Mc Cain wouldn’t bring up Rev. Wright, Ayres, and we got our teeth kicked out and butts whipped by a guy who never held a real job.
Trump is a one-man REVOLUTION.
I’m liking it.
Trump speaks the Truth. Simple as that.
McStooge is and has been an embarrassment to the State of Arizona for way too long. Him and his “Gang-Green-of- Ate”!
You go Donald................Lay it on the line!
There is no difference between Republicans and Obama-ites!
Trump! Trump! Trump! USA! USA! USA!
Ping
The Cheap Labor Express is getting very worried.
They have already paid for an amnesty candidate.
Trump threatens to upset their plans to deny Americans any chance to stop the illegal alien inundation.
Neither. If I had to vote today, Cruz. Talk is cheap. Running one's mouth doesn't impress me. What has he done previously on this issue?
I’ll never support McCain the politician.
Regarding cheap shots directed at his brave, heroic Naval Service, FU.
You can see Cruz attacking McCain?
Maybe, he’s pretty brave. He’s standing up for Trump, and did so even when it was extremely unpopular.
