I heard you. I'm just saying that you like my colleagues have been former Obama supporters who have decided to shun him in '12. Most of the Obamatrons believe you'll just vote for him again because they believe you have no choice.

I think the real question to be asked is why are Conservatives so afraid of President Obama? Is it because it's quite certain he will be re-elected?

Why doesn't any Conservative poll higher than Obama?

No liberal is afraid of Donald Trump. I didn't even think he was culturally or politically relevant anymore.

Millions of Democrats felt that Obama would make a great President, that points to a serious lack of quality and education in that party. Now they're equal.

Trump frightens me because every time I think of his campaign I laugh so hard I stop breathing.

He's not, why do liberals here in CD constantly bring him up?

That goes both ways. Third party voters exist on both ends of the political spectrum and the democrats are not the only ones that take voters for granted.

I am not afraid of Obama.

I have protected myself from him.

I would like to see the US prosper and I know it will not with Obama in office.

He's a side show and while he's ahead in the polls now he will fade into oblivion as the real race gets underway. If you honestly believe he has a shot, or that anybody is "Afraid" of him then you haven't a clue on how politics work.

But if he can't win, what are you afraid of? I don't see any libs wetting their panties over say, Tim Pawlenty or Mitt Romney. I think, you all think (right or wrong), Trump is the one Obama can't beat.

You know, in the 2008 campaign season, Republicans put all their eggs in the Hillary basket. They were so sure she was going to be the Democrat candidate they spent a ton of money churning out the stuff on her. I know, I was a recipient of that literature. Seems to me the Democrats are doing the same with Donald Trump.
