Do you remember Chris Christie? You know, he of "abortion is self-defense" fame?
Yeah, that guy. Left the GOP field after a whipping in New Hampshire about a week ago. Except not really. He's still lurking around in different form, proudly telling you he's a conservative but on issue after issue is proving over and over again that he's not, never was and never plans to be.
The doppelganger's name is Donald Trump.
And with Trump as with Christie, you can expect all the bluster and the ideological chaos to translate into a big, fat loss in the end.
Sure, Christie's loss came after being a consistent debate-time success story who could nonetheless never earn any serious points from the voting public. Trump, on the other hand, while having an undeniable fan base that seems to have attached itself to the 2016 presidential race like a parasite to a host, will also lose in the end.

Sounds like a revolution to me.
Wait, Trump is Christie now? I thought he was Hitler. I mean Bernie Sanders. I mean Mussolini.
I guess I just can’t keep up.
Wasn’t Ronald Reagan a reformed democrat?
Any one not a career politician seems to be the point. That may be the only way to break the gop-e.
I prefer a American nationalist to a Canadian globalist.
In the general. Romney and McCain won the GOP primary too...
I tend to be a Trump, then Cruz supporter. By chance, I have found and article about a Charles Munoz being an operative in the Trump campaign in either/or Nevada or Arizona.
Mr. Munoz has been a Americans for Prosperity organizer, sponsored by the Koch brothers and both the brothers and the AFP are open borders pushers.
Can someone with more knowledge opine on this?

Deace can definitely turn a phrase!
yes he was
“I prefer a American nationalist to a Canadian globalist.”
I like the way you think.
Perhaps the time is not right. The Cuban-Canadian-American might be the perfect Prime Minister for the North American Union.
I haven’t heard anything about it. But I do know he has some real Christian-hating, anti-American, anti-conservative subversives working for him. For instance, let’s start with Trump’s chief spokesperson:
