Priebus should use this brain-dead remark by Trump as the reason to kick him out of the first debate.

Let him go third party. He says and does such outrageous stuff that only the true crazies will vote for him at this point anyway.

Trumps support is now going to drop dramatically.  Trump has made it very hard to support him and if I could get into his head for a second...he thinks everyone is out to get him for a good reason now.  Kind of sad it didn't happen when he called Mexicans criminals, rapist, drug dealers, and one could assume  good people.  Anxious to hear Rush on Monday.  Expect more asylum seekers from TOS will be stopping by soon.

I want rat donor Trump in the debates and I want every GOP candidate not named Trump to denounce him on stage.  If he makes it there it will happen.  I am sick of my party being associated with Trump's brand of "conservatism" and I want his supporters to feel ashamed for what they have done(Coulter, Boyle, and other GOP haters).  I pray he goes 3rd party and takes the fascinatingly vacuous, and naive, but insanely angry, and stupid conspiratorial doom prophet crazies with him.  The GOP could be a majority party and move the country to the right if that happened.

What a great night!  I kind of wish I still had a cable TV subscription.  Youtube here I come.

Great posts tonight Sinkspur.

Did you see the poll results? The first poll with over 1600 saying his polling would go up, was not restricted to this site. It went out to FR, Twitter, etc.

Over 90% predict his numbers will go up. I think that is mostly FR, where Trump has become flavor of the week.

In a few days the big polls will be out with nationwide numbers, which I think will drop for Trump. I said "think" and not "hope" or "want."

There was a time as a boy that I thought I was special.  That I saw things and understood things more clearly than others, but I'm not special.  I'm rather ordinary.  Other people are seeing the same stuff I'm seeing.

I saw Trump casually dismiss 6 years of torture by an American POW and my jaw dropped.  Your's did too and this is a huge story...so big we are not talking about an ISIS terrorist attack in TN.  Have some faith in Americans ts.  They saw or will see it too.

It's no secret I hate rats, but I couldn't be so callous that I would say Tammy Duckworth(spit) really wasn't an American hero.  I might think it, because she is a rat, but I'm not dumb enough to say it.

I'm 100% certain GOP voters are not so completely self absorbed in the magnificent shadow of Trump's cult followers that they think insulting vets is good. 

Even if I'm completely off base and Trump is not in single digits by the next poll...it is only a matter of time until he insults Reagan.

Be of good cheer my friend.  The GOP is shaking off the last vestiges of the 2010 Tea Party and the rats are just entering their cycle of fringe uprising.

First...I'm no Trump groupie.

Secondly, we had Mitt Romney as our candidate in 2012.  The 'Father' of Universal Health Care for the citizens of Massachusetts.

That didn't seem to mean much to the Republican Party back then and it won't be a problem for Trump in 2016.

Obamacare is not going to be repealed.  It may be remodeled, but that's about it.

We Conservatives need to realize that we're essentially a pimple on the politic arse....nothing more.   

We're wildcards...not division leaders, and therefore lack "home field advantage".

Romneycare was supported by an overwhelming majority of the citizens of said State and voted into law by 98% of the State's legislature and 100% of the State Senate.

The popularity of the law in the State remains unchanged.

I don't agree with socialized medicine but I support federalism, and where Obamacare is a study in government overreach and abuse of power, Romneycare, like it or not, was a study in Federalism.

The fact that one supports the most basic tenet of federalism and the right for the people and government of a State to choose something that doesn't fall into step with the general principles of conservatism, IS conservatism.

For Romney to have opposed Romneycare, in the face of that level of support, and done anything to stop the legislation from being voted into law (not that he could have), would have made him the mirror image of Obama. A ideologue of a  despot elevating his ideological agenda above the clearly-stated wishes of those he was elected to serve.

Funny that Trump just stated that he can't ever recall praying for God's forgiveness...and yet as stated above, he's the "flavor of the month".

If not for the apparent dearth of contributors already one would think another Bug Zapper thread is on the horizon over there.   :laugh:

Regarding the boycott though....I always thought Cancun was a great place to vacation.  Have heard that the economy has driven the crime rate thru the roof however.

Trump didn't even do that.


Trump's comments are relevant to where we are today because the man wants to be CinC, and he insulted every POW and every members of a POW's family of every war, living or dead of the troops he wished to command.

I'm a GOP loyalist. I was highly critical of GWB on many issues.

There is no God but God, and I treat no man as God.

Your comment was sophomoric.

I don’t boycott travel to Mexico because of the Gonzales’s living down the street. I stopped traveling to Mexico because they cannot guarantee the safety of my family, in what has become a very dangerous place to visit if leaving the relative security of your vacation resort.  My In-Laws have a beautiful condo there, and we told them a few years ago when the warnings went out to travelers, that we will no longer vacation in Mexico with them – and we suggested they sale while it is still worth anything.

OK, not all of legal and illegal Mexican immigrants are like the Gonzales’s up the street, or the girl from the movie Spanglish,  I get that.  We do have a massive problem with Hispanic crime and gangs growing in this country, and even drug cartels now touching north of the border. But I blame the U.S. government and the courts, and the criminal processing  system here, just as much as I do Mexico for allowing it to get as bad as it is.

Donald Trump while bombastic, is correct about the idea of using a coordinated boycott against our adversaries.

And make no mistake.  The Mexican government is no friend of the American Right.

Mexico is a friend of the progressive liberal left and RINOgop who are just as corrupt.
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
