All the Trump supporters reveal is how pathetic and needy they are.   The rest of us want to pick a President.   

But that's the problem, "the rest of you" aren't picking a president.  If you were, I'd join you in a heartbeat.  "The rest of you" are picking someone who will fight tooth and nail to get 44% of the vote - with great good fortune 46% - in November.

They can talk issues until they are blue in the face - no one who decides whether or not they will have any ability to do anything about those issues will listen to them.  First, you have to get the voters to willingly listen.  Mitt Romney was a serious candidate who talked about the issues.  How much has Mitt Romney been able to do these last four years about those issues he talked about? To make any of this exercise the least bit relevant, first you must win.  75% of the people in this country couldn't even name a Republican candidate except Trump. He sucks all the air out of the room - which is what it takes to win in 2016.

Being an attention 'sucker' with 100% name recognition isn't exactly a resounding endorsement for your guy, Scott.

I'm not willing to throw every standard we've ever had for a President just because of a pipe dream that some how, the mean, rude, crude guy can 'win.'

He's getting a minority of support from his own party.......... oh, I forgot, the Republican party isn't exactly 'his' is it?  It's just how he's identifying himself for the moment.......... and his chances of winning the actually election are dismal at best.

And once again, he lacks the political positions, the character, and the honor to be our choice for the highest position in the world.

And internet polls are easily rigged........  (remember "FReep this poll??") It's easy.
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

Other candidates poll above Hillary, Scott.  Your accusation is not true.

So now you like polls?  So does Trump.

I don't know about you, but I am sick of voting for losing candidates.  I am sick of watching Democrats talk about how they will transform America on election night.  Show me someone other than Trump who can be the Alpha in the race, create the electricity needed to move people, get people excited and angry and ready to take the country back, and I'm there with you.  None of the other candidates can come even close to that and you aren't going to lazily row your boat down the stream elegantly to victory. You are going to have to take this election with "violence."

For my support of Donald Trump I've been called a stooge, duped, stupid, emotional, irresponsible, a moron, vulgar, a bully, pathetic, needy (I wish I could remember all the names sinkspur used on me).


You've not been called those things personally.

Oh, for heaven's sake.  Stop the games, Scott.  They're wearisome.

You said that Trump could win, and I just said that others did better than Trump against Hillary in some polls.

The only reason you think Trump can win is that  YOU believe the polls.

Basically, you're saying you're sick of voting for losing candidates so you're supporting Trump, regardless of his lack of character, or his lack of being conservative in any area at all.

I don't call that "winning," Scott.  I call that conceding the country to the enemy.

Edited to add:  We FINALLY have a choice of qualified candidates, FAR better than McCain or Romney, and you are dismissing them all because of your perception that Trump is a "winner."

I call losing in November from fielding yet another lack-luster candidate conceding the country to the enemy.

While it is patently untrue that he is not conservative "in any area at all," if it is one thing we know for certain, conservative ideology has not been a vote-getter in presidential elections in decades (and with the exception of Reagan, it has never been in all of modern history).  You need to seek something other than conservatism to be successful in a national election.

And for your edit: McCain yes, a handful are better...Romney no, by normal establishment Republican standards, Romney is both as accomplished and as capable a vote getter as what we have in the rest of the field.  Cruz and Rubio have potential in the future, Cruz,who I am quite drawn to, will be isolated as a rigid ideologue and crushed by it in the end.  Rubio needs age and seasoning, and he needs to stop glazing over and audience's eyes with wonkish speeches, but he has promise too.

Yes!   There are some superb GOP candidates this year,  the strongest field in years.  Last night's debate, without the Trump clownshow, showed that.  I'd say at least seven of the candidates are far more attractive to principled conservatives than either McCain or Romney.

Trump supporters = "pathetic and needy"  quoting your post

Dude, or Dudette: Calling Trump supporters names, after more names is NOT a winning tactic or strategy.

But apparently your mind and/or thinking are stuck on old failed ideas. You seem to reflect a belief that most voters refer to checklists, like those found on a certain conservative political website based in Fresno Calif.

Whoever gets the most checks on the list is automatically their favorite. Then they fail again to get the nomination, or to win the election.

Old thinking, guaranteed to lose again.

Or saying it differently

It's not 'patently untrue' that he's not conservative in any area.  He's been on both sides of every key issue, but before he was running for President as a "Republican" he was on the WRONG side of those issues.  You choose to believe what he's saying now.  I choose to believe what he said before he wanted to be king.

Every other candidate running has at least one or two conservative ideologies, most a majority, Cruz, all, and they all have character far beyond Trump's.

Those of you who support Trump so vehemently are hanging all your hopes on your feeling that he is a "WINNER."  But he's not even a winner enough to get half of Republican primary voters, and the disdain that decent independents have for him, his sexism, his meanness, and a plethora of other bad qualities, is palpable.  He repulses most decent people.

None of us knows who can actually beat Hillary (or Bernie) in the end, but I'm not willing to sacrifice every single moral and conservative principle I have to vote for a man whom a small number of Republicans think is a "Winner."

There's too much at stake.

Like the Republic.

66% SAY YES

Last evening was great.  When Trump's event was over, anyone watching it felt proud and energized--like something that had been thought to be forever gone was found.  It was a remarkable display of patriotism and leadership not seen in too many years.  Our Vets from Vietnam to Afghanistan were remembered and applauded.  And one candidate had the grace and the confidence to share the stage with two competitors--who in turn treated him with equal respect.

No two hours of parsing words, bantering with TV pundits, tearing apart policy votes can match what happened at and through the Trump event last night.

Simply put:  It's morning in American again.

Trump's up to 56% now.
Cruz 21%

No one else is even close.

Cruz has even stated, that if he could not stop Trump in Iowa, he may be unstoppable.  If these polls are correct, the spread  for Trump and Cruz is huge -- we are talking a 38 point spread.  No one even comes close to Cruz. Rubio is the closest with 12 points separating the two and 50 points away from Trump.

IF the polls numbers are wrong and Trump is defeated, it will be interesting to see how he reacts.  If he wins ... it will be interesting to see who stays in, if anyone.

I truly WISH I could feel your optimism for Trump.  I cannot get behind a candidate who plainly stated that he needs to become more establishment.  I cannot get behind a candidate who Harry Reid approves of.  I cannot get behind a candidate who has been a registered DEM for years and has been 'buddies' with the Clintons.  I cannot get behind a candidate that does not know the ins and outs of running a government.  He has not done anything to prove what he says.  Big red flag for me.
