We’re behind Trump BECAUSE of honesty.

All they can do is to keep trying.

Panties - meet butt crack. The Cain meme is bogus because Cain opted to roll over; I doubt they have anything that damning on Trump and he's definitely not a wimp.

He certainly has the Left in a tizzy and Cruz seems to be feeding on that energy: win-win for our side for now.

Anybody who thinks Trump really believes what he's saying is being played for a fool.

He is a business professional who employs people and I do not hold that against him as a reason to not elect him.

There are a lot of ethics and legal requirements in real estate deals that can land you in jail if you are a flake, that is also not the case for politicians wishing to put themselves and their qualifications over Trump.

I believe he believes we are being led by idiots and need to build a wall and negotiate deals that benefit us with other nations versus giving away everything.

Was there an actual point made in the article? Sounded only like sour grapes.

Thanks , I’ll do that.

Read “Why We Want You To Be Rich” if you don’t read any of the others.

Politicians making promises and NEVER delivering on them is so common that it’s literally a joke among the masses. Why are they picking on Trump is the question....

The “we” he is talking about may be very different than yours.

Politico is definitely showing their bias.

But have you noticed since Trump's rise, many of the cognoscenti have been emboldened to shift from talking about media "bias" to actually using the word "hypocrisy?"

That's your mistake. It's just like socialists saying, "Diversity is our strength," when it used to be "unity." It's done all the time.

“But at first sign of trouble, he’ll do what the best real-estate sharpies do when a soaring asset they bought on the cheap starts to fracture: Declare a profit and sell to the highest bidder. I’m sure he has Ted Cruz’s phone number.”

What a moronic statement. How the hell is Trump going to ‘sell’ the support he has developed for a profit? What’s he going to do, call Cruz on the phone: ‘Hey Ted, I want to get out. I’m at 20%. If you give me $50 mil, you can have my 20%’.

Most pundits have nothing intelligent to add to the conversation so they just spin clever sounding theories that don’t even make sense if you take two minutes to examine them. Maybe he had a deadline and had to write something, so instead of being honest and saying “I have nothing new and intelligent to say today”, he comes up with this. What a crock.
