This is not the time for a softie GOPe candidate. Not at all!

1. North Korea, just yesterday. threating to attack us with nukes

2.The Iranian's with their newly acquired 150 billion dollars -can simply buy nukes now!

3. Mullah Obama has already begun flying in his preset goal of 170,000 Islamic Muslim rapefugees! How many of these 170,000 will eventually beat, rape and murder our fellow Americans. How many of these 170,000 will arrive here - and eventually pull out machine guns on us.

4. The illegal mexican horde currently here and the illegal mexican hordes always enroute here -taking millions upon millions of jobs from Americans (white, black and hispanic Americans), swarming our schools, bankrupting our hospitals, raping and murdering fellow Americans. [and all the very slimy democrat politicians welcoming them -as potential democrat voters]

I'm voting for Trump!

You need to examine Cruz’ latest addition to his team....one Neil Bush, brother of George W. and !Yeb Bush.

looks like Cruz is joining “the team” and getting with the amnesty program.

Reagan won 60% of the popular vote in the 1980 primaries. There were quite a few states where he was pulling in close to 90% of the vote. Trump is averaging what, 35% maybe 40% in some cases. This is no way comparable to what Reagan did.

Thank you

Consider writing about Trump's superior political and communications skills.

He has successfully painted each of his adversaries in caricature.

Low energy Jeb

Little Marco

Lyin' Ted

Crazy Carson

And, Criminal Hillary

He used two mediums to do this: Twitter and simply announcing to media that he was going to speak...and answering media questions. And he's spent less money than anyone.

Those negative caricatures have stuck in people's minds, and when Trump kicks up the ad blitz reinforcing those learned themes, his remaining targets will be under hell fire.

Jeff, I agree and I hope Trump can and will do each of the topics you alluded to...The problem I see is the Uniparty Congress fighting his every move...
if this happens, I think Trump will, instead of laying down like a professional politician, stand up and let the American people know exactly who is stopping the actions that would help ALL Americans...

He will fight for us, I believe....

At this point in 1980 Reagan trailed Carter by up to 30 points. Get your facts straight.

Trump doesn’t have to be “comparable to what Reagan did”...

He just needs to WIN.....

Jeff, you had more courage/belief that folks would listen than I did.

I agree with you. I just don’t know how to get folks to grasp the reality plus the futility of Ted.

I’m sure they think the same about me too.

Ted can’t run roughshod over the RNC. He can’t get the people behind him to coerce Congress into compliance or else.

Trump has a movement behind him, and he is our only chance.

If Trump gets in, we have a chance of survival.

If he doesn’t, we don’t.

Ted may drag out the obvious a little longer than anyone else besides Trump, but that’s it.

Trump is our only hope, for serious universal change.

Overthought, it’s simple....

People are just plain pi$$ed. They see their liberties eroding and their financial situation either in decline or stagnant. And they see neither party establishment doing a thing to stop it.

They’re screaming “I’m not going to take it anymore” and grasping at the first straw (Trump) they see as being anti status quo.

Unfortunately it’s pure limbic motivation and emotional decisions are almost always poor ones.

This is no way comparable to what Reagan did.

By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in only two states, so it really does remain to be seen. Later votes gravitate toward one candidate, usually the front-runner. Only Trump's 'high negatives' keep this cycle interesting.

The mask is off.

Heidi finally put her foot down and said “this outsider chit is not working Teddy” time to bring in the establishment boys. The Cruzbot rubes will never notice.” :-)

Read my PartI Ilink to. I make the very simple case there:

1.Most American people have lost complete faith in career politians and the political establishment on both sides of the aisle.

2.Most American pople are tired of the US getting a bad rap and bad deals, whether from our own people here, or from people or nations abroad.

3.Most American people believe, irrespective of whatever else, that Donald Trump means what he says and will do all he can to make it happen.

I simply expanded on it here.

While the field was competitive with several candidates Reagan did not fare any better than Donald Trump is now. Indeed, Bush won Iowa, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Of the first 14 primaries Reagan had 50% or less of the vote in 8 of them with only one being 50%.

“By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in only two states,”

By this date in 1980, Reagan had a majority vote in 3 out of the 6 states who had held primaries at the time. By the 11th, he had swept the 3 states up for grabs AL-70%, FL-56%, GA-73%. And only lost 4 more states from then on. More than half of those remaining he won by 70% or higher.

The problem is that the supporters of Trump's adversaries have yet to move over and support Trump. Perhaps these negative caricatures are part of the reason why.

That’s like saying that because Christie joined with Trump that somehow Trump has gone establishment. Christie cozied up to Obama don’t you know?

Come on...these guys are in a high stakes political battle and they are going to accept help from whomever they feel can help in those areas where they have expertise.

This does not mean they adopt those people’s family or their own history.

Remember...keeps yyur friends close and your enemies closer. That can apply as well.

Trump does the same thing...and I am fine with that because I believe Trump is committed to his message and the actions he needs to take to accomplish them.

I believe the same of Cruz.

Either of them would make a GREAT president and lead a HUGE turnaround in this country.

My whole point here is to try and let people know that if Ted does not make it, Trump is going to be who I support against Hillary or sanders. I think the inverse should also apply.

That’s all.
