Exactly. Trump not only tweets and retweets as often as a teenagers but uses their vocabulary and their same lame excuses

"Fat pig"
"Moron"
"I was not treated fairly"
"Bimbo"
"I didn't write the tweet, I just retweet a lot of stuff people send me"

That too he is a coward.

He is a sleaze and a bully. He has Fox News wrapped around his finger.

I would love for someone to investigate how much airtime Fox is giving Trump. Shouldn't that be considered payment in kind to his campaign?

Trump and Murdock have some back deal agreement to give Trump a free hand at Fox. I know that the party line is that Murdock is a Rubio supporter, and Rubio does get love, love, love from the talking heads on Fox. BUT no one gets the air time that Trump gets on any of the stations and there is a reason for that.

Someone needs to find out what that reason is. Sure, ratings are involved, but there is more to it than that.
Same with CNN. The excessive coverage is not coincidence.

I've read numerous theories about the blind support of Trump, a guy who thinks judges sign bills (seriously?). An interesting and logical one is that Trump is giving people permission to think and say the ugliest of thoughts and remarks. When he started calling President Obama a Kenyan and a Muslim, they loved it, just like him calling Mexicans rapists and drug dealers, Muslims shouldn't be allowed in the country, etc. His supporters now had permission to say those things too and since he was a billionaire, it must be okay, right? They hated PC, they wanted to be able to say the worst out loud and proud. They have their leader now.

Yes there you have it. They wanna be able to say what they want when they want with no accountability. This is going to get very ugly if Trump is elected

I'm not voting for Trump in the primary (GA). I am voting for Kasich. If Trump is the nominee, however, I will just sit back, relax and see what enfolds. I am old, so my frantic worry about anything political is just a waste of time anyway. In the bigger scheme of things, I have learned that my frantic worry serves no purpose anyway.
A President Trump is no more troubling than a President Obama was. As a Republican, he is much less scary to me.

But they only want that privilage for themselves.

They are thin-skinned bullies who cannot take even the slightest form of criticism. Look at the way the react when someone calls them Trumpettes or points out anything negative about Trump

I am thinking that every time the candidate from the opposite party gets elected President, we all think the world is going to hell in a hand basket. Yet, we go on, and muddle through.

Whatever happens this time, even if Trump happens, we will muddle through again.

Thats a boat many of us find ourselves on.Last summer I laughed that Trump would bother to run,he was near the bottom of my list.Rand Paul dropped out,I look at who's left and sadly Trump looks like the best option.I can't like Cruz even though issue wise he looks good on paper.Rubio isn't ready for primetime and I can't stand Hilary Clinton.

I think Trump will do something about illegal immigration,nobody else will.I think he will manage to do some things to help the economy.I doubt he is going to be too interested in engaging us in a bunch of foreign entanglements.I hope he'll chill out a bit but I do like that he isn't afraid to push back when pushed.I think he could surround himself with smart people to advise him and be a very good president.....or he could be the worst president ever,only time will tell.

I will absolutely adopt a weight and sea attitude if and when he is elected. Poor joke. Will not scream for impeachment on the first day. Go Ted Cruz!!!!!!
