Till then, I guess I'll just continue to enjoy laughing at the glorious sh*t show that is the Trump Presidential Campaign.

Really? And tell me.... when are actual Moderate Democrats going to take back the Democratic Party from the FAR LEFT Stalinists running it now? There is absolutely NOTHING sensible about today's Democratic Party.

When too many in the GOP stopped caring whether the government functioned or not, when they found obstructionism was the only thing they could really manage to accomplish, easier that than having to explain to their constituents that they had to compromise in any way shape or form with Democrats. Something like the spoiled brat sprawled on the grocery store floor because he's being told he can't have everything he wants...

They railed against Obama's agenda to pass a comprehensive health care bill, and Obama won anyway. That was it. That's when they really went into spoiled brat mode.

How about we first find the "far left Stalinists" you have conjured up in that creative mind of yours. A name would be helpful and just what evidence of Stalinism you've got to offer...

Wait, only BS was it?

No need to reply. We all know such BS is not to be admitted in these threads or even corrected, and no doubt there just never seems to be enough BS in these threads to contend with, or perhaps you really have a Stalinist in mind. I'll bet you do, along with all the other boogy men you've got up there!

Because he has no understanding of how a Republican form of government operates.

Because he has no understanding of Foreign Policy and the current state of the world.

Because he is a hypocrite, claiming he will bring jobs back to America, all while sending jobs to China and Mexico and using illegals or foreign workers to staff his US based hotels.

Because he is a bully and a loudmouth with thin skin and has stated that he will change free speech laws so he can sue the press.

Because he used underhanded tactics and smear campaigning against his opponents in the primary because he is incapable of competing based on the issues and debating them.

Because he is a liberal democrat and acts and talks exactly like Obama.

Because he is a birther and a truther and surrounds himself with unsavory and shady individuals.

For starters.
Thats a good start.

The fact that he's running to the NRA today to talk about infringing on Americans 2nd amendment constitutional rights with this liberal Democrat "no fly, no buy" agenda to ban guns just proves what a pathetic fraud and RINO this guy is. This is when you need someone like Ted Cruz, a REAL conservative and Republican who supports and defends the constitution. Not a fraud like Trump siding with liberal Democrats rushing to be PC and going against constitutional rights.

That ship has sailed and Republicans will be ever second-guessing themselves for not selecting the best qualified GOPer to run against Clinton/Sanders.

There are differences between Eisenhower Republicans and today's tea party Republicans.

Trump is not a Liberal Or A Conservative. He is a billionaire who knows how to make money (Yes, billionaire also lost deals, nothing wrong with it)

He should run as a third party independent, but he won't get free media coverage.

In all fairness, I'm surprised he got us this far.

This said, I would pay up to $1000 to watch a Trump vs sanders debate.

Ted Cruz is no real conservative. He is what Barry Goldwater warned about in his speech on the intrusion of religion into politics.

And yet, you are still going to vote for him.

And that boggles the mind.

I can excuse the true believers, but it's voters like this who could put this country under the rule of a maniac, purely out of party loyalty,
There are plenty of us who won't. I will not, under any circumstances, vote for him.

And there's no way he's going to win.
