And then, opinions about Trump among Republicans totally flipped.

There are some typical Washington Compost Obamascum trolls in the comments. Here's and example:

Yes. And the change was a massive improvement in our economy, incredible growth of jobs, universal health care and the end to two terrible wars that Americans did not support. Just to mention the highlights. Not bad for a "community organizer."

What a moron.

CRUZ/TRUMP (preferred -- 8 years of that and then flip the ticket) or TRUMP/CRUZ (ditto). Or Cruz with Trump in the administration. Any of the above works.

No Bush, Clinton, Paul, or Rubio.

Walker? Jindal? Carson? I dunno. Thoughts, Freepers?

Why did I miss Trump's appeal so badly?

I can tell him.

Because he didn't listen to Trump's speech, or he really does not give a damn about America and he should probably quit trying to play being a journalist or reporter.

Those who listened to his 6/16/2015 announcement speech and not realized this guy was going to the top, are completely detached and probably should stay far away politics.

Trump is the ant- DC Insider, not just a different flavor, but a real new product, with the ad campaign that is not hindered by political correctness.

...and people love it. Political correctness has worn thin and Hillary’s anti- White male campaign has added tremendously to he feelings of building rebellion. Add that to the Boehner’s, McConnell’s anti-Conservative campaign and attacks on Cruz and the door was opened for Trump to Ali right in.

Because in the last 2 election cycles, President Herman Cain and President Rudy Giuliani were in the same position Trump’s in now.

Now I have found him to have the most impressive tax plan I have seen anywhere

Care to share a link with that tax plan? I haven’t seen that. I’ve been out of touch for a few days, so definitely missed it.

I got a solicitation today from the Republican National Committee, seeking my money to elelect more Rinos.
I got a call from them way back when and agreed I would give them $XX.00 but not over the phone. They would have to send me some thing in the mail.

I never sent them anything. When they called back to follow up I said, what's the matter you don't like being lied to? Neither do I, You'll not get one dime...click

All great comments. I can feel the positive energy and excitement in each post. Isn’t it wonderful to actually have someone to believe in, someone to be “our champion”.

I would like to add that IMHO it is not easy being Donald Trump and how well he hides the pressure of managing his life now with this new endeavor. It takes a lot of courage and belief in your own abilities to step up during these very strange times for America. Thank you all.

Agreed. I saw a guy on Twitter yesterday saying Conservatives say they love Jesus but hate the poor, etc. How do you rationalize with someone so jaded an frankly wrong on every social, economic and ethical argument?

You don’t you just block them.

Both good ones as well. I just got tired of seeing the same old crap from Pikachu_Dad. Once was enough - after that it was like a crappy little Chihuahua nipping at your ankles.
