Republicans brace for long battle against Donald Trump

CNN ^ | 12/5/2015 | MJ Lee

[Fiddlstix]

I'm coining a new phrase to describe their situation:

TRUMPROLLED

I Like It!
I Like It!

[nopardons]

The Millennial I converted is a VERY busy young man and a staunch Conservative; he just hasn’t had any time at all to pay attention to what’s been going on. He told me that almost all of his friends are voting for Trump ! :-)

[tflabo]

The GOPee gets a taste of its own medicine. Last 2 presidential election cycles they dumped their chosen one on us. Now [we’re not gonna take it anymore] therefore we are running it forward with Trump and Cruz. They try and pull it out from under us its 3rd party we go with Trump and the GOPee becomes the Whigs into destruction.

This election has the scent of 1980 all over it.

It sure does. I love Ted too, but damn, I can't get this duo off my mind:

[alloysteel]

“...the only thing the Republicans oppose are Conservatives.”

News flash. The Donald is not a “conservative” in the accepted sense. Libertarian, perhaps, and with a broad streak of populism, but conservative, no.

Even for all that, what The Donald says still resonates strongly with those who consider themselves to be, in every way, conservative, if only because when The Donald speaks, Political Correctness flies right out the window.

Still, taking the Establishment Republicans by the throat and shaking them like a rag doll has to be pretty satisfying for the conservatives whom the Establishment has kicked like a cur dog for generations now.

Does the GOPee want a candidate who can attract independents or not?

[nopardons]

I'm a busy bee and shall get even MORE to go with Trump. :-)

I'm actually very good at this. LOL

[Paladin2]

Well, there’s a pic of a couple of winners

[tennmountainman]

Thinking the same thing. It will be over sooner than later.

[nopardons]

NOT !

I really believe that they want to lose.............again.

[conservative98]

can't get this duo off my mind:

Great pick. Trump/Palin. She's not just pretty face. She's got everything it takes.

[Paladin2]

The Donald is clearly no Ted Cruz. But he can kick GOPee butt and win with the base plus "the middle".

Not necessarily the best for the USA, but way better than Hussein and H->!.

[SoFloFreeper]

The way it is going, the battle won’t last that long.

[HarleyLady27]

LOL...I love that ‘Trumprolled’ I think that should be our theme for Trump, that is just what this guy is doing, rolling over everyone, and it just makes me want this election tomorrow....

GO TRUMP ALL THE WAY TO THE OVAL OFFICE!!!

WATCH OUT, DON’T GET IN THE WAY OR YOU WILL GET TRUMPROLLED!!!

Sarah in the cabinet. Energy or Interior. We may finally get Keystone going, and Sarah understands oil.

[BigEdLB]

It is a good thing that the airbag deployed... Someone would have been launched to tbs moon.

[Art in Idaho]

Well, there's a pic of a couple of winners.

That's right! Can you Imagine the Left. . They would all have a stroke or heart attack. Trump and Palin would take New York and the rest would be history! America Reborn and Restored!

[wgmalabama]

Thanks for your thoughts. Today I explained Tump as a national populist and not a conservative while discussing the topic. Don’t get me wrong everyone, I will take that over an international socialist any day. I do expect that we call it what it is. I may vote for him in the primary or I may not but when AL votes it’s kind of a busy day and I will vote for who I think will win.

the enemy of my enemy is a friend

And the friend of my enemy is an enemy.
