He won't necessarily tell you what he is doing, but he IS doing it.
First time I've seen it. Get over yourself.
Nice personal attack. THAT surely wins you a lot of friends and really helps your candidate.
Face it. ANYBODY who aspires to think they would be the best leader of the US has issues.
TDS is strong within you. Seek help immediately!!!
Go Trump!
But I’m happy! I like Trump! I’m trying to be just like him! Can I be deranged and happy and like Trump?
I like that. BIOYA. That’s how I’ve learned to talk. Copy Trump. Talk like he does. Sounds like BIOYA.
The Trump Revolution [a prediction already unfolding]
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3381137/posts
I’m honored, Liz. And I’ve had a few thoughts about what it would be like if either Trump or Cruz walk into the White House ...
Teacher317 ...
‘Cruz and Trump need each other. Nobody on the horizon can compare with The Donald for efficiently cutting and gutting the inefficient segments that e need removed... and nobody on the horizon can compare with Cruz on actually pressing forward with limited-government ideals in all three Branches.’
[unquote]
[my response ...]
I agree — a great team if possible. But ...
We can’t make sure those two will get along in the future. We must pick one or the other [sadly]. Constitutional mendments are the end-game, and Cruz is great about that. But the President is an executive who turns to lawyers and savvy legislators for advice.
[Reposting why the Exectutive should be Trump ...]
If Trump wins this, a few hours after he enters the White House people out on the street will hear a loud, incredulous rampage of words. Trump only has an inkling of how bad it is. He will be SHOCKED.
The next few weeks will result in massive change and panicked bureaucrats, especially in the State Department.
... BUT ...
If Cruz wins this? He will probably throw up from the shock the same way MacArthur did after talking to FDR about military budgeting.
After that? I have no idea.
For the first year or so Cruz would wish he never had the job. It’s ugly as sin. Sick, depraved, and ...
Sure, Cruz might make things better, particularly with judicial nominees. But I know what it’s like to walk into a mess. Procedures and regulations will only confuse you. You need to take swift decisive action, trust your gut, expedite meetings and discussion time, and work your tail off.
Cruz is a brilliant guy who would one day make a top notch President. But he will do better after some heavy-duty executive experience. Not essential, but he’s spent too many years around lawyers and legislators while away from real-world problems.
It’s amazing he is as conservative and passionate as he is.
Help me out. When was the last time the Iowa caucus was won by the eventual nominee, aside from an incumbent. 1980?
Team Trump has been silent in answering the critics of his Iowa ground game.
He may be applying one of Sun Tzu’s rules: When strong, appear weak.
My thoughts exactly....the appearing weak strategy allows your opponent to let down his guard.
As much as I don’t like Trump, his lack of a ground game in Iowa, if in fact the article is accurate, doesn’t matter much. Winning the Iowa caucus is not a requirement for winning the nomination and ultimately the election.
the question is, does Trump know that there was a whole lot behind that smile (Reagan’s)?
I think she is wound real tight.
Republicans
1976: Gerald Ford (45%) and Ronald Reagan (43%)
1980: George H. W. Bush (32%), Ronald Reagan (30%), Howard Baker (15%), John Connally (9%), Phil Crane (7%), John B. Anderson (4%), and Bob Dole (2%)
1984: Ronald Reagan (unopposed) - incumbent
1988: Bob Dole (37%), Pat Robertson (25%), George H. W. Bush (19%), Jack Kemp (11%), and Pete DuPont (7%)
1992: George H. W. Bush (unopposed) - incumbent
1996: Bob Dole (26%), Pat Buchanan (23%), Lamar Alexander (18%), Steve Forbes (10%), Phil Gramm (9%), Alan Keyes (7%), Richard Lugar (4%), and Morry Taylor (1%)
2000: George W. Bush (41%), Steve Forbes (31%), Alan Keyes (14%), Gary Bauer (9%), John McCain (5%), and Orrin Hatch (1%)
2004: George W. Bush (unopposed) - incumbent
2008: Mike Huckabee (34%), Mitt Romney (25%), Fred Thompson (13%), John McCain (13%), Ron Paul (10%), Rudy Giuliani (4%), and Duncan Hunter (1%)
2012: Rick Santorum (25%), Mitt Romney (25%), Ron Paul (21%), Newt Gingrich (13%), Rick Perry (10%), Michele Bachmann (5%), and Jon Huntsman (0.6%)
'76, '96, and '00, Iowa got the winner correct
'84, '92, and '04, it was an unopposed incumbent
'80, '88, '08, and '12, they were "wrong", with the eventual winner placing 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 2nd.
I get the same impression.
BFLZ
So let's drop the rest of the field, trounce Rubio, and have a decent race between two very good choices!!
(Seriously... Who here wouldn't relish the final several debates being just between Trump and Cruz, and maybe Rubio. That would be sooooo nice to watch!)
So you’re for the Canadian, eh?
No dog in the fight. Might even vote for Donald. Just wish he would stop using weasel language to raise concerns. He’s a concern troll.
Personally, you sound mentally ill.
