    I have a hard time believing the whole idea that he is just being a tool for the Clinton campaign. The guy can't be bought. He's worth $10 billion.
    Fair point. But you're forgetting something....

    Nobody HAS to pay Trump to promote Clinton. He has advocating socialism, gun bans, and HillaryCare on his own for 25 years. He has been a heavy donor of the Clintons for a long time.

    Not only does the Donald make me laugh, so do all of you who are bemoaning the demise of the republican party, and believe that they have any viable candidate at all let alone Donald Trump. Personally, I consider the Republican National committee as treasonous buffoons along with every one of their empty-suit lackeys. Their collective demise is all that can revive the already dead republican party. If The Donald can hurt the R.N.C. then I support that.

    What? you guys think Trump is not qualified to lead? Where the hell have you been? LOOK AT WHO IS PRESIDENT NOW! A Trump presidency would be like a "correction" in the stock market, he is as ridiculous and outrageous one direction as Obama is the other way. At least Trump has held a job before, and not only that he was good at them.

    You think he will Perot this election? So what.... The Republicans aren't running in this election anyway, just like they didn't run in the last several elections. The candidates they prop up in front of us are carefully chosen...... Every one is unelectable. Hillary is already president, all that remains is the fraud and traitorous machinations of another bogus election. Between the two 'frontrunners" Trump and Hillary, I would prefer Trump, at least until we get to see just how crazy he really is.

    It's all lip-service for us to even discuss it anyway. By the time Indiana's primary comes up the Rino.... oops, I mean Republican candidate has been long chosen.

    And so, go ahead and fire those flames. Just know that I have never voted Democrat, but in the last several elections I didn't vote republican either. Republicans didn't loose my vote........ They threw it away. To paraphrase president Reagan, I didn't leave the Republican party, the Republican party left me!

    Piece of **** leftists are like hornets. You don't go to them with flowers asking them to not buzz your kids on the playground or to stay away from your picnic.

    You either get hornet spray (25ft range) or in the case of ground hornets, you pour gas in their hole and light a ****ing match.

    Trump may be a douche bag, but right now he's kicking the establishment in the balls, nice and hard. I'd rather have an imperfect candidate who rocks the boat than an idiot who paddles the boat with the current.

    Here's the freak show of "nice guys" and "war heros" who have done a **** poor job in Presidential elections being "swell guys":

    GOP needs to run a guy who isn't a ***** and can raise his arms above his shoulders without a nurse helping him.

    As Woody said to Stinky Pete in Toy Story 2, "Play time is over..."

    EDIT: forgot this one...Trump is playing Vito Corleone to America's beta male GOP:

    Trump is hurting the Republicans? As I see it, if the Republicans would get out from under Obama's desk and close their mouths until something is coming out rather than going in, they wouldn't be having this problem. Multiply that by a factor of 10 if something of value were coming out of their mouths and their voting records indicated that there was substance behind their words.

    Again, for the GOP candidates and party leadership (aside from Paul and Cruz--whose eligibility is questionable), quit sucking Obama's d**k and do what we want done or go home and shut up. Problem solved. Trump's platform gone out from under him.

    That is a very good point. However, it still doesn't make sense to me why, as a businessman, he would take such a financial loss making an ass of himself simply to further Clinton's bid for president.

    He may be shaking things up, but it has descended into buffoonery. Somebody posted his Twitter feed... It's ludicrous. He sounds like the high school douchebag who's father never hugged him. It's frankly quite embarrassing

    In order for Republicans to win, they have to shake things up and motivate the masses, while maintaining a professionalism we would expect from the most powerful person on earth.

    Appealing to to the most amount of people, without alienating large groups, is important too. Hell you don't even have to follow through on most of what you say - look at Barak Hussein!

    A good Republican candidate should just do and say what he's gotta do to WIN, then fight the good fight when he/she is in office!

    Good luck with them pulling that off. Republicans, I think, haven't figured out that their base shrinks with each passing year.

    1. Who says that he is helping Clinton? Maybe he has come to the realization that the country is going Ayn Rand? Maybe he sees the potential to grab a certain office which lacks corners for himself and understands how to reach the people who are most likely to put him there and that no one else has the courage to appeal to those people?

    2. I understand that it is 'embarrassing' to have that one loudmouth who refuses to swear that the clothes on the buck-naked emperor are beautiful.

    3. Professionalism? Let's see...Romney presented himself as being very professional. McStupid did a reasonable job of it. Bob Dole is a wonderful job of presenting himself as professional. None of them won the election while we have a worthless rabble rouser community organizer who popped up from the cracks in the concrete spewing Marxist horsesh*t in the aforementioned office lacking corners.

    4. What is wrong with alienating criminals and domestic enemies?

    5. You seriously would trust someone who lied his way into office to fight any good fight? Seriously?

    Romney had a Mormon problem
    McCain had a Palin problem
    Dole had a Southern /Clinton being successful problem

    You may be right about Romney, but you are absolutely wrong in your other example. The poll numbers seem to have indicated that Palin had a McCain problem as evidenced by the only real boost his campaign received was the result of announcing her selection to run for VP.

    If the Republican Party elite pushes another left wing idiot on us like they did in 2008 and 2012, they'll lose again REGARDLESS if Trump runs a 3rd party candidacy or not.

    The only difference will be they'll use Trump as a scapegoat for why they lost if Trump does indeed run a 3rd party candidacy.

    Then the Republican Party elite be all set up to push another left wing idiot on us in 2020, and they'll lose again.

    Trump says whatever is on is mind. He may even believe it. I have a crazy uncle that does the same. Last time I followed his advice, I fell off a cliff into a pool of mercury.
    I know it's impossible not to cover him in the news, cause he's a freak show. He's sucking up all the attention. He loves it, but serious candidates are being ignored. Every week he yells "SQUIRREL!" and all th news media drops everything and runs to him. I suggest a MSM cabal to stop covering his crazy ****. That's how to make him go away.

    Here's what I see. Trump telling it like it is. There needs to be a wall, the best in the world, to keep out illegals. Come here legally, great. He trashes RINO republicans. I love this, and so does everyone else. He keeps growing in popularity. Why? Simply because he sticks to what he says and doesnt apologize for it. This makes him look strong. Something the entire republican party has failed to do. I love it. When has a candidate openly said there needs to be a wall built like he said? Thats all the media has done is trash republicans for that, yet he succeeds because he aint backing down. How is he hurting the republican party? Hilary continues to decline....bernie is doing better, hes an outright wacko socialist and even a lot on the democrat side dont like hilary. Why not elect a non politician? People trash trump as egotistical....UM THAT IS EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN THAT HASNT DONE A #$%# THING IN THEIR LIFE. Yet here is a billionaire, a smart connected successful business man, and yet we are trashing him? Yeah we need another Mccain huh? Or Graham? Romney? Get someone in there with balls and he'll win hands down. That may be the single reason obama won. He stood straight up and lied about the republicans, trash talked every single speech, and never admitted he was wrong, in fact he goes on tv regularly and even lies to his liberal pundits. Obama is doing what he wants regardless of the rest of the country. Hand it to him, no one has the balls to stand up to him. This is why trump could win. He is also forcing the issues to be talked about by the republicans. How is that hurting them? Because their policies are bad or they wont talk about it? hmmm....I just love watching these clowns in the media and the rino's, they have no idea how to handle trump, and its helping him.


    ^^THIS^^ I wil add like him or hate him you know Trump is doing something when both the Dems and Repub's are working together against him. Both sides are scared because he is telling their family secrets (not that they are secrets but!) and calling them on their own BS. Most canadites wouldn't survive a battle of wits with him and couldn't spin their way out.

    It will be interesting if he can keep the momentum going for another 15 months.

    WAIT! WAIT! Everybody stop for a minute, I want to hear more about this! We can't let this go by without explanation.

    I have no idea what that means :nuts:

    But really, I appreciate that Donald Trump is shaking things up, I just wish he could be a little more dignified in doing so.

    And this isn't just about shaking things up, it's about preserving our liberties and keeping our nation strong. Unfortunately, without any other viable options, we all know that our best chance at accomplishing this is through the Republican Party. I believe our best shot would be with Ted Cruz or Rand Paul. But Lord knows the socialist media won't give them an ice cube's chance in hell. :xmad:
