Funny how Trump doesn't win in "caucus" states.

Also, Cruz does better in closed primaries and caucus.  Trump does better in open ones.  I would suspect that's because Trump appeals to the moderate democrats who cross over and vote for him.

If you're retired at 68 years old with a net worth of $250 million, do you really have handlers?  I don't think so.

Oh bullshit!

 Romney bows down to the money dogs like the rest of the GOP.  Those who have bought and paid for someone expect a lot in return.  Don't do their bidding and there is payback. Romney used their money in previous elections and returned favors while in office.  He's as much owned by the GOP establishment as the others.

 If Trump gets elected, or if he doesn't, just watch what is going to happen to the "R's" that have come out in his support.  The GOP will treat them like red headed step children.

Trump fits the Buchanan mold, but without the conservative bona fides that Buchanan has.

I think Buchanan is projecting his conservatism onto Trump. I don't think it will work.

You're missing the point of the article.  It's not a "pro Trump" article nor is he "projecting conservatism" towards Trump.

His article clearly shows where the GOP has lost their way but yet still thinks the electorate wants more Bush type conservatism and can't understand why mainstream voters are fed up.

As crazy as Henning is----Banning him just made no sense.  It appears he just upset the wrong person on the MC though. What a crock that they won't disclose the exact reasons for banning folks.

He must have insulted Bryan.

You can keep repeating this bullshit trope all you want Jeff but it simply ain't so.  Trump's actual history with the Republican party 'trumps' your blind losertarian-jihad since the party itself sought to have him run almost 30 years ago now.  This is the second time he has been a candidate within the party primary series.

Here is a clue - in order to 'leave' the Republican party as he did in 2000 when he joined the Independent/Reform party (Center-Right), you first have to be a fucking Republican in the first place.

Is he party-ideology pure?  Nope, nobody says so, not even him.  But then, neither is anybody else still or previously in the running.  Cruz comes closest but I won't vote for him, I find him generally untrustworthy, like everyone else he has flopped on issues of improtance to me, and there is something else that I can still can't put my finger on that just sets off the red flags for me, your mileage may vary.

Frankly, the scorched-earth hard-on you have Trump is actually making me like him more since it makes me do the tiniest bit of research before I put finger to keyboard - you might try it sometime.  Still not supporting him with my time or money, but I could vote FOR him if he ends up the candidate - can't say that about Cruz, Bush or Kasich - even with recent missteps Rubio has almost worked his way back into contention although I don't trust him thanks to the Gang of Eight crap.

It's South Park Turd Sandwich vs Giant Douche, and if I can't vote FOR, I am not voting - we may need to more fully experience the pain of failure before people wake up in large enough numbers to make a real difference.

'Gimp

We are no longer a sovereign state, but just a land mass with people, and things.  Why did our fathers and grand fathers die in Vietnam, Europe, Korea, and other locations around the globe?  Illegal immigrants are invading, and we aren't doing anything to protect the legal citizens of America. 

Thanks Obama.

 Not illegal immigrants, they are "potential democratic voters".

 Someone needs to tell Obama that a poll was done on the illegals and they are voting republican.  He'll close the borders tomorrow.

How the hell can she survive this?

Let's see........Loretta Lynch is the AG.........

Ahhh...so when Bob Dole (about as establishment as it gets) supports him as "someone we can deal with" that's just them not knowing anything, it's not that they understand that Trump has no actual principles that will hold him to any position, so he'll be free to cut a deal.


The establishment dislikes Trump, but know they can deal with him.  They fear Cruz, because they know he actually has principles, something Trump is wholly unencumbered by.

 Cruz's main problems are 1) he's disliked in the Senate and 2) he is so far Right he is the equivalent of Bernie just 180 degrees the other way.

 After 7 years of an extremist in the oval office, the public is sick and tired.  The voter anger is at all time highs.  People are sick and tired of a weak dick Republican led Congress and Senate that constantly caves in to the left.  They are sick and tired of "political correctness" that basically has the career politicians having to watch each and every word they utter.  They are sick and tired of the extremist wanting reparations for every fucking perceived wrong that has (or has not) happened in the last 3 centuries.  They are sick and tired of watching our borders thrown wide open inviting everyone to cross without fear and then move to "sanctuary cities" and immediately get on public assistance.

 And the list goes on and on.

Yes, the DNC wants desperately for a Bush, Rubio or Cruz nomination because they know the Clinton machine will wipe them out. That's why I laugh every time someone utters "unelectable" in reference to a republican candidate because it comes straight from Debbie Wasserman Schults lips.
