Something strange has happened to the Republican presidential field since Donald Trump joined it a month ago: Mr. Trump and Jeb Bush are rising. Everyone else is falling in the polls, or seems stuck in place.
The numbers suggest Mr. Trump is shaking up the GOP primary electorate in a meaningful way. He seems to be taking support from the most conservative and anti-Washington rivals in the field, particularly Mike Huckabee, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul.
Mr. Bush’s rise in the polls suggests that his base of support has little overlap with Mr. Trump’s, and he therefore may have the least to lose in attacking the brash New Yorker. And Mr. Bush, in fact, has criticized Mr. Trump’s now-famous claim that many Mexican immigrants are criminals.

No, better yet,
- President Trump
- Vice-President Walker (visa versa works for me too)
- NUKE the unconstitutional Dept of Labor
- NUKE MOST of the other unconstitutional cabinet posts and administrative departments.
Broad brush to be sure, which can be unfair on the larger scale even if McCain is a pain, but that’s better than no brush; he cares about some characteristic that might make a difference.
I know it would be bad because the Bill of Rights would become a memory. On the other hand, the Bushes gave us Souter and Roberts. Reagan gave us Kennedy and O’Connor. One side gives us speed boat to hell,the other side gives us cruise ship to hell.
I have to agree with Trump in one way. If the USA ceases to be a country in favor of being a no man’s land, then talking about conservatively governing it will be talking about an exercise in vanity.
Ultimately the people need to once more remember the Lord, and this is personally in their own hearts. The more an individual endeavors to praise the Lord with his or her own life, the more supernatural light will radiate from that life.
The world alone will of course give you a boat to hell, and the starboard side gets there as surely as the port side will.
I agree with you, 100%.
Thanks
Having the right positions is totally useless if you can't, or don't want to fight. Cruz showed he'd fight, but he doesn't have the platform, or mouthpiece that a celebrity like Trump has.
And we are in a celebrity culture. I just don't think someone like a Walker would get any traction nationally.
“It would be impossible to fully explain the stupidity of that comment/question.”
Seems straight-forward, but if you can’t explain things in one sentence, I suspect you haven’t thought about it enough. I’ll put you down for Jeb! for now.
Best
Everyone IS falling with just one exception: Ted Cruz.
Go look at the Real Clear Politics polls and you will see that I’m right.
Jebberish is the chosen loser. The problem is the American people have lost enough under the feeble faggotry of obama.
Yep, 10,000 million = 10 billion. It seems to encapsulate better just how much that is by describing it in millions.
Who did you vote for last election?
.
John Boehner
Mitch McConnell
Gowdy Doody,
Darrel Issa
.....feel free to add you own career pubs to the list.
If it’s Trump, he would be very smart to put Cruz the ticket.
At this point it’s the only way Cruz even has a chance is to hook his wagon to Trump. Certainly no guarantee that will happen.
I starting to think some of these anti-Trump folks are actually Bush supporters.
As opposed to those we can really trust like Boehner and Mitch. Got it.
I disagree. The biggest frauds are career republican politicians. My Senator, Cornyn, ran for re-election last year as the self proclaimed “2nd most conservative” Senator in DC. He promised to work to defund Obamacare and stop the Obama agenda. What have we gotten for his promises? He has voted for every pro-Obama thing from this Corker treaty thing to TPA to Cromnibus to caving on Amnesty funding. It seems to me that maybe people are getting tired of voting for “conservative” republicans and seeing them turn hard left once they are elected. If you ever succeed in finding the elusive conservative republican career politician, let me know.
Name a few good ones that Republicans have appointed in the last 70 years. I will give you two, Thomas and Scalia maybe Alito.
And Jeb will put people to sleep.
