Trump can't actually win, can he?

‘True. So why did Trump endorse him in the primary and even re-register as a Republican to vote for him in the primary?’

For the same reason that I voted for him in the General Election. He is a damn site better than Obama and he would have been an excellent manager if not an entirely conservative one.

“he may not be philosophically conservative, but he is philosophically American”

Exactly.

[Ancesthntr]

Here is the corrected statement :

“Is Trump perfect? Nope; but he’s a lot closer to what is important to me; than any other candidate has been in at least 12 years.”

“he may not be philosophically conservative, but he is philosophically American” Exactly.

And at this point, it may have to do.

Ted Cruz has had every opportunity with a large war chest to go after the GOPe. He has done some important things, but he lacks the media to do more.

Trump needs a VP. He can chose either a Tea party darling like Cruz and garner potential Hispanic voters or an outsider like Carson and peel away a large portion of blacks. Maybe as many as thirty-five percent. Either way he takes many voters Democrats absolutely need to win an election.

Right now Trump garners more than 15% of the black vote per polling. If he wins 15% of the black vote, it is statistically impossible for the Democrats to win the presidency. STATISTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE! They will never again get a majority of white voters and only appeal to Hispanics at a much lower percentage than they do to blacks.

A term of closed borders, deportation and economic gains in the black community would lead to a free ride for a 48 or 52 year old Cruz to the Presidency in 4 or 8 years.

Cruz is a very young 44. He has time to become POTUS. Carson is 63. He would be trilled to be a VP as it is a huge megaphone for black conservatism.

One or two terms as a VP or high profile cabinet officer in a Trump administration would make him a winner in the future. Ted is barely old enough to shave.He has time.

Ah! but you overlook a couple well nasty little tidbits..
Naughty.. naughty..

Ted Cruz is a tested, proven, confirmed thoroughly prepared individual for this Job.. the best of the best.. bright, loyal, good hair, fairly good looking so the wimmens CAN like him.. fast on his feet in negotiations and debate.. with very much experience.. in business AND government..

Donald Trump.. is a global capitalist, known democrat sympathizer, acts like a conservative democrat and may be one.. has never been a government official.. AND sways back and forth like Bubba Clintoon’s Dong(probably) on issues.. CONSTANTLY.. And appears to be an EMPEROR IN WAITING..

Any that does not take heed of these issues is like Jack climbing the Beanstalk.. there could be...and probably is some bad shit at the top..

Going on the Trump adventure is not for me.. purchasing a bag of problems is silly.. i.e. BUYER BEWARE..

[Jim from C-Town]

Not even Cruz believes that Trump is driving him out of the race. Cruz has an altogether different strategy to victory than that of Trump and it revolves around energizing the forty million evangelical Christians that don’t presently vote in national elections.

If you failed to notice, Cruz has kept Trump pretty close as has Carson. AND vice-versa. Cruz and Trump are even holding rallies together.

Cruz is pragmatic. If in five months Trump is still twenty points ahead of his nearest rival, look for a Trump Cruz ticket. Cruz can let Trump buy his way into high Executive Office while he continues to build a massive war chest for 2020 or even 2024 when he will still be a young man of 52.

Just think about this. If Cruz spent two terms as a VP and two terms as POTUS he could still retire at 58 years of age.

By taking all of the illegal immigrants OUT first, like Eisenhower did, and then making sure that they come back in legally....

It was done before, why can’t it be done now? What is the difference? Only because it takes work, and your not on a populatity contest, your the POTUS and this is your job, to make sure the laws of the Constitution are upheld, isn’t this the same oath that Senators and House Representative take? So why hasn’t anything been done about it?

‘bath house barry’ could have done it, Bush could have done it, Clinton could have done it, Bush Sr. could have done it...what has changed?

‘bath house barry’ had such a perfect opportunity to show the blacks how much they had before them, what they could have achieved, but he didn’t did he? No, he has left them flying in the wind, and why?

His wife (?) could have shown the black women ways to make their lives better, but she hasn’t, she’s to busy taking vacations on our dime, and ‘bath house barry’ is to busy golfing....so what has changed?

This big ‘change’ he talked about, well what do you think of the change now? I think it stinks!!!

A government which refuses to protect and secure it’s own legitimate sovereign borders will itself eventually become illegitimate.

[Jim from C-Town]

So What! At this point he can’t win. He can’t even get double digits in the Republican field and that has little to do with Trump.

BTW he has no experience in business, ZERO. A few years in private practice layering is not business. It is an extension of government as it is completely involved in government related issues.

[nickcarraway]

When Trump leaves the race, he’s going to take a shot at Cruz. Say he got to know him and he’s a Nazi or something. Pure Trump.

[HarleyLady27]

Look at what is going over in Europe right now...

And I have a question:

What the hell is this ‘World Government’ they keep talking about? The U.N. trying to rule the world or something?

This is about as stupid as all of us having to take an illegal immigrant and supporting them the rest of their lazy a$$ed lives!!!

Ted Cruz is 44 years old and polling at 4%-8%. He knows he is not going anywhere in the Senate and not likely to get the GOP nomination. He needs to make a move. Sooo he has hitched his wagon to Trump’s star. Its a win win for Cruz. He has all the time in the world. I’m sure Trump will either put Cruz on the ticket as VP or offer him AG. Both good spots.

[Delta 21]

Obama can’t actually win, can he?

[dragnet2]

Pretty simple, they’re seeding the planet. Divide the once united peoples. It makes it much easier to control populations.

[Delta 21]

Jimmy Carter can’t actually win, can he?

TRUMP is handling the GOPe nicely.. why waste money to do it.. When Trump get air time to do it..

The GOPe in federal gov’t is a problem.. Trump running the federal gov’t is another problem.. (projected)..

Ted is spend money wisely, not wasting it..
Ted could take TRUMP apart like wrist watch in a debate..
At the proper time.. NOW hardly any body is watching..

WE ARE... but we’re rare birds..
As it gets close Ted can go after TRUMP.. like a chef boning a chicken..
TRUMPs vulnerable hanging out there... much baggage..

Ted is a brilliant prosecutor.. all it will take is for TRUMP to refuse to debate him.. Trumps smart knows what Cruz is.. then Ted’s Rope-a-Dope lights up..

Cruz can do to Trump what Trump did to the GOPe..
because GOPe secretly supports Trump.. as do many democrats and media.. Trump WAS, and IS one of them..

Most people despise the GOPe and the media and Congress..
when they come AGAINST TRUMP it merely gets him MORE followers.. You didn’t think of that did you?..
That they MIGHT do it ON PURPOSE?

Saul Alinsky was a genius he saw things quite clearly..
Even though he was stone evil genius.. The Trump media, GOPe thing is what the left wingers DO DAILY.. as per Saul Alinsky..

[Delta 21]

Bill Clinton can’t actually win, can he?

[HarleyLady27]

And there is another problem that Trump is going to have to face:

Our ‘government’ run by spineless sissies aren’t going to stand up with a backbone and say NO....

So WE are going to have to stand up and say NO when these creatures come around begging for our votes...NO is the answer!!!

Sign the pledge or we don’t want you, honor your pledge or we will remove you from office....it’s the only way this is going to work...

Get this damn U.N. out of the U.S. and tear down the eyesore where it stands....

Tariffs by their very nature streamline a central government. They are unable to fleece the tax payer quite so easily.

An elimination of the corporate tax and lowering and flattening personal tax rates would offset any immediate gains from increased tariffs.

It also puts our trading partners on notice that we will no longer be made to play the fool. Protecting their seaways from piracy and international rivals all while allowing free entry into our markets. Perhaps Europe and Japan will be forced to spend some of their American Profits on a navy to protect their American bound shipments from Chinese militarism or private pirates bent on nastiness.

A streamlined tax structure with a lower tax and an elimination of the corporate tax coupled with selective tariffs would create an economic boom that would give us stratospheric growth rate. Close the borders and the only real economic problem will be the natural inflating effect of an economy growing at double digit rates.

You want full employment, a massive participation rate and increasing wages, surpluses instead of deficits? A plan of tariff based revenues and low taxes is the way to go.
