I talked with Republican wise men last week — sober establishment strategists who have seen many presidential campaigns come and go — to ask them how long the improbable popularity of Donald Trump can last. Reassure me, I said: He can't actually win, right? Their answers surprised me.

Please tell to me exactly how the other candidates intend to achieve those goals. Thank you.
Look into your magik murror it has all your answers
Why should I ? I’m not running !
If nominated I refuse to accept If elected I will not serve
The other guys are trying to discuss their proposals but they’re getting drowned is a sea of personality politics. As a Trump Chumpion you ought to know this .
Exactly when is Trump leaving the race?
Looks like he is leading the race and not by a little. He will more than likely continue to do so.
I would love a Cruz nomination, bu the fact is that he is not in position to get the nomination. He is almost completely OUT of position to do so.
He will likely trail either Carson or Carly in the event that Trump leaves the race. The only person I know he will beat is Bush. As I see NO way to the nomination for him at this point. Too many GOP Establishment candidates in the ring for that. They have split the GOPe and Trump has coalesced a plurality that is likely not to be beat.
YUP!
...”he may not be a conservative but he is a capitalist.”
BINGO.
He’s a galloping, unapologetic capitalist. A slap in the face to the simpering commies who want to turn the US into another Venezuela.
People are sick of seeing motivation and success being punished, while ignorance, sloth and failure are rewarded.
People are sick of being categorized in ethnic groups and forced to compete for Biggest Victim.
I see you overlooked everything I said.. once again..
I had kids that used to try that on me.. didn’t work then either.
Change the subject or bring up strawmen...
No worries I cherry pick your comments as well, fairs fair..
I was ahead of them.. way ahead..
Oh! well I post mainly to lurkers anyway.. you’re a foil..
Thanks..
Obama can’t actually win, can he?
I overlooked it because it is irrelevant hogwash.
We will not see any candidate win who is espousing changing the social safety net, particularly the Social Security system. They will have to do those things AFTER they are elected and by force of will, not popular support.
The Democrats win every election by scaring the hell out of low information voters that the Republicans will stop Social Security checks, end Medicare and kill grandma. The last thing we need is to try to explain to the idiots why these programs must change PRIOR to getting elected.
Once elected, a forceful POTUS and Administration can ram any number of changes through. Particularly a popular second term Administration that has an economic boon to their advantage.
NO. We will not win by promising a Chilean retirement system and Medicare Privatization even though that is a great model. We will only win by promoting a highly popular program and today that is Immigration and tax reform.
Those successes in a first term allows for a second term. Look at what an unpopular Obama is doing in a second term. Imagine what a driven, popular seconfd termer could do.
Please tell to me exactly how the other candidates intend to achieve those goals. Thank you.

LOL! So there ya have it!

So you expect Trump will do that ram thru stuff..
I do too.. by executive order..
As I suspected.. Democrats do that.. ram thru stuff..
Force feed.. Congress.. by bending them over..
So you are NOT hoping for a sea change.?.
Which is what I want and a Justice Department that will punish current and PAST injustice..
WOuld require 2010 on steroids to do that... if we don’t get one of those....
America is lost never to recover except by revolution..
or you know.... CIVIL WAR II..
Which I am actually hoping for.. hopefully ALL the bravest didn’t die in WWII.. Korea or Vietnam.. Iraq or some other hell hole..
BUT alas; they probably did..
Something alinsky would recommend saying.
Belittling someone for their opinion isn't a debate on the issues. It is merely an attack on the individual.

What if their opinion is eye rolling Moonbat shit crazy?..
Like thinking Donald Trump is a conservative..
OR electing a known squishy liberal as republican candidate for President?..
Like: Myth Romney.. ** Trump is not squishy this WEEK..
Alinsky was an evil genius.. republicans don’t have many of those..
WAIT!.... we do have Ted Cruz.. sans the evil part..
I hope the liberals are as dumbfounded as I was when The Bent One and King Putt got elected////reelected. Hopefully some will do drasticly stupid things as a result.
Screw ‘em.
No this is what I told you which you seem to lack the intelligence to comprehend
The other guys are trying to discuss their proposals but they’re getting drowned is a sea of personality politics. As a Trump Chumpion you ought to know this .
I see, so it's Trumps fault for stopping the other politician candidates from getting their message out?
Of course it couldn't be no one is buying their message right moses?
Secure the border, keep America safe.
Bring back jobs from China and Mexico.
Re-energize America's entrepreneurial spirit.
Preserve Social Security and Medicare via Strong US growth
(not by raising taxes)
Make America energy independent.
Rebuild our Military and world-standing.
(not slow them down)
Re-establish trust with our allies.
Undo all America-harming Obama policies/deals.
Require countries we protect to contribute financially instead of taxing America.
Rebuild our roads, bridges,electrical grid, airports.
Support our military personnel ad veterans.
Stop corporations from moving jobs out of America.
Restore national pride and the American dream.
Stop countries from stealing our military technology.
Reduce our crushing national debt.
Prohibit countries from manipulating their currencies so US companies can compete.
I rest my case.
I also expect whomever wins the Presidency as a republican to damn well bend the Congress over and force them to do his bidding. The Presidency was built to wield enormous power. Only republicans refuse to do so. Their power exceeds that of 2/3’s of both houses of Congress. It is beyond time that a Republican use that power. Just lie Reagan who shut down the government several times to force his will.
There is no reason to expect the girly men of the Left to actually take up arms. They are eunuchs and homo's and a President, as we have seen, can do damn near anything he desires as long as they refuse to do anything about it.
We need a President who is not a coward and is not a go along to get along. A few decisions in the proper direction and a few uses f executive power to the good would solve many of our problems.
A simpler message: government needs to stop breaking its promises it makes to the American people.
The easiest promise to keep is to enforce the laws. You don’t have a government or a country if you don’t enforce the laws.
When the basis of your argument is “conservatives are stupid and easily misled,” it’s probably not going to get a lot of traction on a conservative forum.
Don’t be too hard on the Lady. This has happened to me a couple times. Perfectly formatted, then... zap... a wall of characters.
