Support for Trump rises near 50% among Republicans

[libertybele]

What you're doing is building absurd caricatures of Trump Supporters. I'm not "angry", just firmly committed to deeply reforming our current governance, and to re-establishing our borders, our military, our trade agreements, our health care (by killing Obamacare), our Supreme Court and our status in foreign affairs. Donald Trump is our best hope of achieving all of these major goals, and that view is based in reason and his own stated commitments. You can disagree, but this silly penchant for thinking Trump supporters are bewitched and bamboozled is just a Dem talking point. Be better than that.

Most of us are deeply committed to reforming or current government (mainly shutting down the Washington cartel), re-establishing our military, health care etc..  That is not what is in question. The question is the sincerity of the candidate;  there is one who make claim to that's what he'll do,just because he says so and there is one who has actually stood up to those in Washington on those very issues.  One is a fraud and one tells the TRUTH!

Ted Cruz 2016!  Reigniting the Promise of America!!

Bill Cipher - you are getting your warning now.  Do not attack posters - calling someone a sucker is a personal attack. 

Are you kidding me?  Carling called himself a sucker - he said he'd been suckered.  But someone who sends me a personal message with the subject line Arf Arf!! saying

You're so adorable and you're not housebroken yet!

What does sinky feed you, dear?

is just fine because they like Trump?  And several members including Carling, GAJohnnie, and Flowers, who reply to my posts with "arf arf" or otherwise call me a dog are just fine because they like Trump?

Which one are you, Repub4Trump, or alicewonders?


yeah, yeah, yeah.  I know.  You're going to give me another "vacation".  Go right ahead.  I don't expect anything better anymore.

Well, if the shoe fits… neither he, I nor anyone else have to say it at all.

So, do you have an opinion or not?

One way to cure certain members who send nasty private messages is to post those messages right here on the board.  Usually stops the behavior.

Your smoke and mirror response does not hide the fact that you still have not answered my question.

That's hilarious considering you don't even answer yours when I point out one of your lies and you eject from the thread.

I have answered you question MANY times! YOU just don't like the answer!

A simple yes or no would answer my question.  Choose one, Bigun.  I know you can do it.

Carling what is the matter with you today...please knock it off

Might be a good spot for a quote I saved today, while browsing at The American Thinker web site.
Harks back to the War Between the States, and Lincoln trying to find a general that would be "the best hope" for winning against The South.

Finally!!! After eight months of multiple Trump hit pieces every day here at AT, we have a real American thinker who GETS IT. Thank you, Mr Lewis! You have done a masterful job of explaining that it is logic, not mere angst that motivates those of us who see what Trump is about. Before we can ever hope to fight the main enemy of international Socialism that is embodied in today's Democrat party, we must first fight and subjugate the GOPE, because the GOPE will fight only us, their employers, but will never fight the true enemy, the Democrat/Communist party. Every other candidate still standing is part of the GOPE.

I am reminded of Lincoln, who provided his generals with ever increasing men and materials, and yet none of them were willing to truly take the fight to the enemy, and destroy their ability and will to wage war. Finally, there emerged a general. A deeply, terribly flawed man. An alcoholic, who was probably manic depressive. A man who suffered from dark moods and depression. A man with a checkered past. But this man, his general, was willing to take the fight to the enemy. He did not complain to Lincoln that he needed more men. He took what he had available and went at the enemy relentlessly, like a junkyard dog. Lincoln was heard to exclaim, "Finally, I have a general who fights!". That man was Ulysses S. Grant.

This is how we feel about Trump. After the last 15-20 years of seeing the people we sent to DC refuse to fight, we finally see someone who is able to hogtie the GOPE, tear into the corrupt Media, and rip the face off of the Democrat/Communist party. And all at the same time. We'll take him, warts and all.

Just to be clear, we're not talking about electing a general, we're talking about electing the president.  The benchmark should be Lincoln, not Grant.  Donald Trump is not another Lincoln.

Seems like all of the disruptions -- road blockades, rowdy protests that have become near-violent -- have come from the leftist anti-Trump people.

If there continue to be blockades and attempts to prevent pro-Trump folks from assembling peacefully -- perhaps then some non-"nonviolent" activity on the part of the Trump folks will be called for, and appropriate.

We cannot repeatedly "turn the other cheek" to the left forever.
If the other side pushes... at some point... you have to push back.

If American colonists had exercised only "nonviolence" against the British back in the 1770's, we'd probably still be singing "God Save the Queen" today.

Well, you know the sincerity of the candidate he'll be facing...Hillary Clinton. While she is a habitual liar, she is a constant in her dedication to socialist governance. You KNOW what you will get with her. In Trump, you may have doubts, but we know his stated policy positions and we know the GOP congress will be his only base of support/power when elected. That's a damm site better than what you KNOW you will get with Clinton.

That was good. The cops were right there, cuffed him and took him out. I didn't see what the protester did, if anything, or if he used physical force. Let's see if the guy cuffed gets charged with battery. If he wasn't defending himself then he should be charged.

Especially after post season games you can find dozens of these stadium fight videos on YouTube.

But, 20-30,000 people at an event and some leftist dope smoking, plastic banana, good time rock and roll protester gets in the face of the wrong guy? Well... people got a right to watch the event unmolested.

The cops were leading the protesters out.  The assailant was not defending himself.

Football teams aren't running for president.  That this seems to be happening exclusively at Trump events ought to trouble you.

Here's a thought...don't go to a private speaking event and try to suppress everyone's First Amendment rights. Doesn't mean anyone deserves to get punched, it means when you try to crush people's rights some may get angry and lash out with a fist. So the answer is, let the candidate and his followers freely exercise their constitutional right to free speech...and then there's not even the possibility of violence. The fault rests with those attempting to suppress people's rights (anti-Trump radicals sent by moveon and other rad groups) and yes, with whoever lashes out with violence because they are angry over having their rights taken away...it absolutely does not rest with Donald Trump or any other of his supporters.

It rests with THIS Donald Trump supporter. And Trump does nothing to tamp down the violent tendencies; he, in fact, encourages it.

If you've seen the videos, the guy was being escorted out and the Trumpie hit him  in the face and kicked him when he was on the ground.   

Cheer it if you want.  I think it reinforces the thuggishness surrounding Trump. It is working in his favor now, but, too much of this, and it will backfire on Trump.

Wait a minute. These violent events are ALL being caused by Bernie and Hillary supporters and those from various Dem affiliated hate groups (moveon.org, Black Lives Matter, etc.) who are trying to shut down the free speech rights of GOPr's at Trump events...and THEY (the Dems) are doing nothing to tamp this down. THEY are causing violence by their actions to suppress free speech.

Put the tail on the right Donkey. For once.

So Hillary and Bernie caused the brother to punch a protester in the face?  I've seen the video; he did nothing to provoke the outburst.
The protesters are wrong.  The thuggish behavior by Trump supporters is wrong.
