Probably because you aren't paying that much attention.

The people that told you George Bush would make a good president told you this time that Jeb Bush would make a good president. Right now, they are trying to push Rubio.

Trump's base is former Jacksonian Democrats. The establishment hates him.

Another interesting point. Republicans demanded that he give them his loyalty but now that he's winning they are attacking him.

100% false. Bush's neocon (aka leftist Repub., aka Rockefeller Repub.) supporters went to Rubio.

Rubio, like other members of the so-called establishment, is a great choice for any voter that prefers their leaders relegated to perpetual puppet status.

I am just noting that the media is going crazy trying to convince me that Donald Trump wouldn't be a good president. The same media that got tingles up their legs over Obama.

Makes me think I need to do the opposite of what they want.
If you want to keep getting what you've been getting, take the media's advice.

I completely agree.

I can understand why democrats don't like Trump, but I can't understand their support for Hillary. She is completely owned by special interests groups, much more so than any other candidate in either party.

How exactly do you run for President without being a politician? Whatever Trump was, he is definitely a politician now by virtue of his having entered politics.

They only care about the continuation of their free sh*t.

I think people are fed up on both sides of the aisle, and an "outsider" is going to win.

Could have been Sanders or Trump, but Sanders is getting hoodwinked on all sides, while Trump keeps gaining momentum.

First, I don't think they thought he would sign it. Second, I think they must be as dumb as rocks not knowing how discontented the majority are with the road the US has been on.

Rubio is the GOP Obama.

Yes, poor Sanders against the Democratic promise to give Hillary the nomination long ago, probably 2008. Boy, you have to give the GOP credit for trying to get Trump shut down although it is pretty stupid of them not to put that energy toward Hillary.
