Location: In the Hills of Texas | Anniemae - 2015-07-09 5:40 PM jbhoot - 2015-07-09 2:15 PM While "the Donald" maybe entertaining in his statements. Many of them I agree on. There is no way I would vote for him. He has offered Zero plans to solve anything. He has been in the past A registered Rep, Dem., Ind., Unaf. and back to Rep. he heavily supported the Dem's in 2006 senate races that gave us the Nancy and Harry show which gave us Obama care. If Trump does get the nomination I will be sitting this election out for the first time in my live. Thanks but NO thanks. Donald is not shy about stating his opinion or sticking to his guns. My guess is that he will be on several debate stages, then will eventually bow out of the race. The RNC has already 'asked' him to tone down his rhetoric. That tells me he is making too many people squirm on BOTH sides of the isle...
The positives are the he is placing hot topic/sensitive issues squarely in the forefront. This may eventually force other candidates to make a stance, letting the chips fall where they may. Give the Donald a nod, he is courageous in the fact that he is bringing up and talk about these hot topic issues. Good for him!!
The down side is that Donald can't help himself, and jumps into the fray guns blazing. He is completely and utterly unpredictable with his words and his actions. In some ways a breath of fresh air in other ways a loose cannon, which is not always a good thing.... LOL
He won't be the R candidate, but it'll one interesting race to watch!
As for skeltons in his closet, goodness it is the Donald. He probably has several walk in's full of skeltons in all shapes, sizes and colors! Hahahaha... 
And we all know the MSM only looks into republican's closets. CNN has already reported that Trump had illegals working on one of his buildings 30 some years ago and of course says nothing about Killery or any other dem.

MSNBC is kind of pathetic the way they latch on to a Republican who just had an "incident." I thought they would never ever get over Chris Christie and that Bridgegate thing. It was the news of the day every time I surfed past their ridiculous station.

The Resident Destroyer of Liberal Logic
Location: PNW | Personally, I love Trump as a presidential nominee. This country NEEDS a businessman in the White House, not a politician. As for his political bouncing around, who cares? I can understand why he would do that. At various points in various discussions, I too find myself identifying with more than one party. Do I change my registration? No, but that's because I will vote with my pocketbook (Republican) before I vote with anything else. I identify most strongly as a Libertarian, but I want to have a say in the Republican primary - so I register Republican. I tend to have very conservative financial beliefs, and pretty liberal social beliefs - I'm right with God, I don't think it is the government's job to force everybody else to attempt to get right by pushing through legislation.
I would like to see the end of people in general, but most definitely the liberal-minded, looking for things to be offended by; and also the end of government strong arming various people/organizations/agencies into adjusting to their mold of "correct."

You have to be kidding right! But to answer your question. If it comes down to the Hilda beast or the Donald I will be sitting the election out. I will not waste my vote on either one period. Everyone has their limit. |

 Dancing in my Mind
Posts: 3062
Location: Eastern OH but my heart is in WV | Was watching an interview yesterday where the reporter asked Cruz and another canidate what they thought of Donald. They both danced around the questions so much it was rediculious. They were the typical spoon, fed politically correct answers. Neither one of them really answered the questions and it made me even more determined to find out more about Trump. I know that I like what he says and I LOVE that he has the balls to stand-up for what he believes in. However, I want to know more about him first.
I know this with a doubt though...I would never in a million years vote for Hillary and Trump was 200% right when he said "Hillary is the worst Secetary of State in US histroy and would make a horrible president." Tell like it is Trump!

When quizzed about Trump by a reporter Cruz said he refuses to play into the hands of the press and criticize his fellow Republican candidates. Let's hope he stands by that because it's pretty admirable.

It's people's political tantrums like this that allow politicians to keep playing their same old games. It's not ever fun to choose the lesser of two evils, but it needs to be done whether we like it or not. By NOT voting for Trump, you'd might as well just go vote for Clinton. Voting is not only a privilege but a responsibility, and to throw that right away just because your favorite didn't get the nod is irresponsible as a citizen of this country. |

The reason Trump's popularity is on the rise is that he is saying the same things we are all saying. He comes across as a highly successful citizen who will not apologize for his wealth and success.....who also happens to be fed up with politicians who talk a big game, while accomplishing nothing. He's fed up, just like the rest of us. The media pundits mock him and don't consider him to be a serious contender.......and that also works to his advantage, because we are as disgusted with the MSM almost as much as the politicians. People love the fact that he is beholding to nobody, because he's not pandering to donors. He owes nobody. We are witnessing how he is turning politics as usual upside down.
Mark my word, as God is my witness, scandals are going to emerge, as well as bimbos, and we all know who will be behind them. Just ask Herman Cain.
I'm paying attention to him, and I'm glad he's stirring the pot. In my opinion, his lack of experience in politics is a plus. If he ends up with the nomination, we will be faced with two choices.......Billary or Trump. I think the next 15 months will be very interesting. Who do you suppose is more capable of actually fixing things and getting us back on the right path?
I love him just because he is willing to push politics off the edge of a cliff to do what is good for the country....
and...... after Blowjob Bill and his antics in the Oral Office I doubt there is much left Trump could shock us with... |

You call it a tantrum I call it conviction. And please don't call me a irresponsible citizen. I have never failed to vote in every election for the last 46 years. I have held my noise many times and voted for the lessor of two evils. There are 15 other people running some I like some not so much all of them I could vote for even if it is not my favorite. But Trump will not get my vote period. |

| I'm very conservative, but the disparaging remark Trump made about Jeb Bush's wife turned me off. She's a decent, tax paying, law abiding American citizen. It's one thing to skip the sugar coating, but it's another thing to become crass and classless. I'm not a fan of silver-tongued anything, but in terms of political candidacy, it just seems totally inappropriate and it's exactly what the Left is looking for as it's further polarized the parties and further stained the conservative image in the minds of those who already see us the enemy.
I agree with your argument, but like another said, I would definitely have a problem voting for Trump. Anyone considered Ben Carson? He's not a career politician, he does NOT sugar coat (having publicly admonished Obama and his policies right in front of both he and Michelle), he subscribes to REAGANOMICS (no Keynesians here!), and he definitely has the leadership credentials given his surgical background. He's also a minority which convervatives need if we are ever going to take back the reins on the country. If he can get past the primary, he has my vote. He's actually in the top 3 of the recent Fox and Gallup polls, but he doesn't receive respectable media coverage. I assume this stems from worries from the Left and their media outlets; I know they view him as a threat. (Trump is slowly being turned into Sara Palin and we all know how that rodeo went.)

| Even if he got the primary, he'd likely be shamed by Hillary or any other can-do-no-wrong democrat. He's already alienated (no pun intended) too many liberals (the current U.S. majority) and demonized conservative politicians and many conservative voters. It doesn't seem he has too many allies in Washington. It's not about who's going win the primary, but about who can beat out Hilary. I vote Dr. Carter, but I don't think he'll get past the primary. That leaves Cruz and Walker. IMO. |
