Santorum wouldn’t even win PA. I voted for Rick when he ran for senate, but he is dead meat in PA with conservatives due to his support for Arlen Specter. He once had a bright career in politics, but not so much now. Rick would be better off if he stuck to his movies.

Do people really think Trump would want to put up with all the BS he would have to as a President for 4 years?

Of course. He would revel in it. I think he's motivated by two things. First, he really does love this country and wants to see it "great again". Also he is near the end of his life, and he's looking at his legacy. He's done it all in terms of business, so what's left? There's nothing bigger than being president, and he wants to be the best one ever. It's in his nature.

Poor Jeb. He’s trying to pretend he’s actually relevant.

Have you considered what Trump had to put up with to become as wealthy as he is?

Unique times call for unique solutions. I see this as a way to sink Jebbie faster. We need to coalesce around a single non-Jebbie as soon as possible.

More bad reporting from idiots...if it’s “secret” we wouldn’t know about it would we?

I’m sick of lazy so-called journalist and reporters always writing about all the “secret” stuff.

If Trump was a 70yo painter, saving America would be his masterpiece, his master thesis showing everyone Trump is Trump. Since George S. Patton seems to be the fruits of his tree, that motivation sits just fine with me. I’ll salute his combover at Mt. Rushmore if he earns it.

I don’t care much who a candidate did or did not endorse. That has no bearing on their policies.

Trump told Howard Stern he wanted McCain and Giuliani to run back in 2006.

They agree on illegal immigration.

Looks like they do not agree on legal immigration.

None of them are going to agree on every single topic.

Legal and illegal immigration are not the same problem. Related, yes, but not the same.

On another thread, Fox news reports Rubio and Walker are teaming up to take out Trump.
The Dynamic Duo vs Madison Man and Boy Blunder.


I guess those two are now the GOPe's dream team, given that Jeb isn't living up to all the promise they bet their money he would.

To me immigration is immigration. Your view points out my disconnect. Thanks.

Otay...FWIW, here’s MY take on this:

Trump DELEGATES authority. He has done it his whole life. Every project he’s ever done, he’s had to put people in positions of strength where he maybe is lacking in the actual knowledge of how say a building gets built and in what order.

He knows how to pick talent to get the results he wants or needs.

Trump can handle the economic side and the media side JUST FINE.

He needs Cruz to RUN the “political side” (IE congress).

Ted can do that with NO PROBLEM as VP. It will be his knowledge of how things are being run and what needs to change to get things done.

Donald takes care of the media and economy side (delegating there also) and Cruz will FINALLY be getting a chance AND THE AUTHORITY to “crack heads” and straighten out the GOPe crap that has infected the last 2 midterms.

Trump using the media “calling out” the bad eggs in the gov’t omelet and Chef Cruz creating the “new” recipe to fix it. Sounds like a plan to me.

Donald needs someone who has been RECENTLY on the “inside” of the beltway who he can trust. IMHO, I believe he knows he can trust Ted.

Cruz would be the POLITICAL side of the Trump/Cruz ticket actually taking care of the inside gov’t stuff unfamiliar to Trump, and Trump gives Cruz the “cover” by taking all the media hits while Ted does his “job”. Ted will have just as much power if not MORE in the VP position with Trump as he would in the POTUS position. Trump will see to it.

Trump DELEGATES. Look at the other people he has already started to align himself with who can accomplish what he wants done.

Just my 2 cents...

Trump outs them one after the other. The elitists seem to have trouble learning the new game.
