Establishment Republicans just can't stand it that Trump refuses to bow down to their desired level of political correctness.

Face it, folks. The man has enough money to speak his mind and call it like he sees it.

It is great watching the Republicans eat themselves from the inside-out.

Yes it is, it is also funny watching far right wingers swoon over a TV buffoon like Trump. At least they can't complain when he loses the election, they put up a "real conservative" this time.

Trump knows the official story on 9-11 is b.s.
He just can't say that because it would cause a firestorm.

Reminds me of the time back in June, 1980 when Republican buffoons thought Ronald Reagan could actually win the election when polls had Carter at 39%, Reagan at 32% and Anderson at 21%.

A seven point lead and everyone knew all of Anderson's vote would end up going to Carter.

Just how idiot do these republicans have to be to even think Trump has a chance?

Oh... wait... never mind.

Well Trump is no Reagan....Reagan at least held an elected office before running for President and it was also a time when California was more of a Republican state. Carter basically lost that election on his own, Reagan never really grew in popularity during the duration of that election.

if Hillary is the Democrat nominee then all bets are off and Trump does have a shot....just my opinion.

Hillary is so vulnerable on so many issues that if you think Trump is playing with Jeb wait until he faces Hillary in the election and gets into Hillary's skin with facts and he doesn't even have to go on the personal stuff.

Actually, here in the real world Reagan led the aggregated polls from the end of May 1980 through the election. Yes, I know that link you got from Limbaugh told you otherwise; he lied.

But please, carry on, because it never gets hold hearing this line:

"Reagan got elected despite certain naysayers, therefore [insert any random nutjob here] is a lock to win!"

So how about the point in the article that Trump can't stand up to a negative ad blitz? I agree. The Pubs have been reluctant to do it because of fears he goes third party. But that might be preferable to the establishment than Trump in the White House. Clinton, for all their moaning about her, is rather popular on both sides of the establishment aisle.

Clinton Popular? LMAO!!!! ....her own base has to hold their noses to back her.


the establishment can't go negative blitz on Trump because the Republican electorate is pissed off with the establishment and anything they do will backfire.....why do you think their guy Jeb Bush is in single digits and sinking like the Titanic?

Trump is not the problem, is the establishment of both parties.....the difference is 1 party is challenging the establishment while the other will crown an establishment candidate who has taken millions from corporations and foreigners.
