No, they don't.

But feel free to show us a national poll of Republican voters who say they would vote for Hillary over Trump -- LOL.

You sure like to make things up.

No Republican would ever vote for Hillary for any reason.

You are in the wrong party.

I really fail to understand how people who said that Obama was unqualified to be president will turn around and vote for someone who says that his top foreign policy adviser is HIMSELF
That's just another way of saying that he will make the final decisions -- just like Obama does.

You anti-Trumps will jump on anything and turn it from a molehill into a mountain.

If it will make you feel better -- not that you are in the least bit interested -- Trump has announced that Senator Sessions is helping to put together a foreign policy team as of this writing.

Quote:
This is the time when he is supposed to be sealing the deal and acting more presidential and instead what is he doing? He's putting more childish insults on Twitter against Mitt Romney and Meghan Kelly. Is that presidential? Do you honestly think it will stop if he makes it to the Oval Office?
Who cares?

Republicans have taken insults and attacks lying down for decades.

It's refreshing to see Trump firing back.

Quote:
The people in the GOP who say we should all rally around Trump so we can win in the fall, are missing the big picture. If this joke makes it to POTUS, once the mid-terms roll around, you can bet that the Republicans get TROUNCED and likely get trounced for many elections afterwards.
Wrong.

If Trump only accomplishes half of what he's promised, our economy will come back gangbusters, we'll be respected in the world again, we'll have an effective border and security, and the liberal crybabies, parasites and race-baiters will no longer be able to guilt-trip the country as easily as in the past.

All of that is a good thing!

Following that rule lost us the last two presidential elections and gave us an ineffective congress even when Republicans were in control.

Having watched every debate, I can tell you that those who attacked Trump from the very beginning went down in the polls almost immediately.

That's why Cruz, Bush, Kasich, Carson, Christie and Rubio held off on attacks. They wanted to survive. Didn't work, though.

I guess the anti-Trumps will never be able to admit that Trump wins because he is the best candidate.

Your criticisms on this score are getting very old and tired.

Trump the businessman has to compete with other businesses that cut their costs by going overseas.

Trump the politician is not Trump the businessman.

Exactly.

The best argument for Trump is all the people desperate to stop him: Wall Street, corporate America in general, BOTH major political parties -- the very people who have screwed us for the last fifty years by buying and owning politicians.

That's absurd.

Christians have to fight back in order to defend themselves.

Summed up nicely and speaks to the irrelevant nature of voting in America, the fix is in and your candidate for President has already been selected by the establishment..
That person will be revealed at the RNC

I wouldn't worry.

Obama isn't up for reelection.

When I say "liberal media," I mean what people actually read and watch -- CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the LA Times, etc.

How many people read FiveThirtyEight, slate, salon and politico?

Trump hasn't said anything about the number of illegals coming in.

But nice try anyway.

One illegal is too many.

And we're getting a lot more than one.

Today's dems put illegal aliens ahead of the millions of suffering underemployed and unemployed Americans. That's not acceptable to me. Neither party is looking out for Americans but at one time we could expect dems to have done so.
Exactly.

So tell us about all the people who inherited one million dollars, invested it in an index fund, and ended up with $13 billion.

Oh, you can't find anyone?

Didn't think you could.

He's going to build that ridiculous wall and even more ridiculously make another country pay for it? How?
By building it and charging tariffs on Mexican products sold in America.

Quote:
He's going to take oil from other countries? How? Militarily?
Yes.

He'll also demand payment from South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia and other countries we protect for free right now.

Quote:
He says we should kill terrorists' families? Really?
Didn't you say you listened to one of his speeches recently?

It is clear that you did not, because he has said he would only act within the law.

Lol!!! Had to laugh at "We'll be respected in the world again." They really have no idea how bad he makes them look. I love that he's running, it's become cool to make fun of Americans again! I get so many more likes on Facebook when I post "americanidiot" posts than I did even a year ago, even my former American friend likes them now! I hope he wins!

You feel you're getting screwed by "the establishment" and are doing what you do best ... drawing lines in the sand and shouting threats if things don't go your way, but secretly you already regret enlisting in this lost cause. Hillary is going to trounce Trump. You see that now, and you wish you had the good sense to support a more electable candidate when you still had the chance.
You are just building the case that Democrats/Liberals are some of the most intolerant people alive in this country. Keep up the good job sending independents away.

When has it NOT been "cool" to make fun of Americans and bash America?

I couldn't care less what the rest of the world thinks of us -- as if they're so great!

People make fun of Apple, but still most people if given the choice would choose an Apple product over a Nokia or HP product. When you are on top, there are a lot of haters, but still most of the world has a favorable view of America. With that being said, there is a lot America can learn from other countries, Trump even points this out, which is one of the reasons I like him. He talks about how are infrastructure is borderline 3rd world compared to countries like South Korea or Germany and it's true. We are great country, but we need to focus on updating it.

But more people would prefer Samsung, as indicated by global sales.
