But then, Trump could be acting dumb to win more conservative votes.

Have said this proabably 4 times already so what do I know but he may have finally peaked. He's got the wall people locked down. But the more he talks the average voter who doesn't follow that closely hears his schtick they aren't liking. Negatives really going up in numbers I saw even among voters who call themselves conservatives. 

He loves talking about polls but doesn't seem to comment much how he is getting smoked by Hillary and especially Bernie right now in national polls. 

He'll need some outrageous thing that doesn't offend 75% of the population to catch on. The wall talk only goes so far and not a big enough block likes this. 

The rest of his stuff is boiler plate lame talking points that they all have. Sound extra bad coming from him because he's supposed to be "an outsider" and when he expands on things he sounds like a fool and makes mistakes..

Certainly within reach but his nonsense is finally catching up to him thankfully...maybe.

The irony is, if the trump run comes to an end, I think the non-supporters here will have a much harder time than the supporters. At least according to post counts in the trump threads.

Maurice King worked for Joerns Healthcare, a medical furniture manufacturer, for nearly 43 years. Until suddenly one day, he didn’t.

Joerns shuttered its plant in Stevens Point, Wis., in 2012 after years of gradually outsourcing work to China. It cut loose 175 workers. Now the 62-year-old former local steelworkers union president works a 2-11 p.m. shift at a fan factory.

 
No more local fish fries on Friday nights with his wife, or his side job for 25 years as town chairman in Dewey, population 975. He hasn’t yet earned a week of vacation. As for retirement? That’s been pushed back.

“You had the job, you figured you were planning out how things were going to go,” King said. “Now you’ve got to back up and rethink.”

Establishment voices of economists, government and business officials argue that trade deals are critical in a global economy, and great for America. But critics such as organized labor call them “death warrants.”

And in blue collar communities in Wisconsin and across the industrial Midwest, that economic angst, coupled with some sense of betrayal, helps explain the roiling politics of 2016.

Wisconsin has lost more than more than 68,000 manufacturing jobs since the mid-1990s and the first of several controversial trade pacts with Mexico, China and others took hold.

Additionally, the U.S. Department of Labor has certified about 76,000 Wisconsin workers in various fields as having lost their jobs due to either imports or the work they do being shipped overseas.

Competition from China has meant the loss of 2.4 million jobs, according to a recent report by the National Bureau of Economic Research, a private nonprofit research group.

Let's get back to the real issues like the one above. I know some dishonest people in here would like for us to focus on the dishonest issues crafted by the media, but that is a waste of time.

So, what's the new narrative now that Trump is toast?  Are people actually still clinging on, or have they made the official switch?

So, pretty much almost any policy question?

Or , in all seriousness, a question on issues where he has changed a bit to cater to republicans.

Oh, so you mean, like, questions that really force him to zero in on a policy position?

Problem is (IMO) that the shallowness on abortion could be applied to many of his policy positions, NATO, Putin, Chinese militarism, nuclear proliferation, tariffs.... I don't think he gave much thought to any of it beforehand, he just walked into it and defended it but the level of awareness and the simple morality (one way or the other) was too great on abortion.

Hey spin doctor, instead of cherry picking the few stories that don't make Trump look like a bumbling buffoon, please give us your opinion on his rapidly falling numbers this past couple of weeks.

 
When the guy can't get through an interview with some tv talking head without botching something don't see how you guys think he's going to work out.

This is great for his brand awareness though. Can go back to putting his name on odd products and doing TV if he wants. 

 
http://gotnews.com/michelle-fields-falsely-accused-crime/

I’m demanding that Michelle Fields charge me with hacking her computer. She won’t, of course, because I didn’t do it. She only charges people for brushing past her at a campaign event. Nothing serious like hacking.

In December of 2015 Fields falsely accused me of hacking her computer and has continued to repeat the lie even after her bosses told her to cut it out.

She had sent me a LinkedIn request and I called her. We had a friendly conversation before she tweeted out to the world that I had hacked her. Seriously.

I texted her and said something to the effective of “what the ####?” and “why did you falsely accuse me of a federal crime?” She insisted I had hacked her.

I then called her bosses — Matt Boyle and Steve Bannon — and told them to stop her and to take down the tweet.

(I take claims of hacking seriously as my Internet friend Andrew “weev” Auernheimer went to jail for arithmetic and and my associate Aaron Swartz was facing years in prison for a JSTOR mass download before he took his life.)

She finally took down the tweet after I texted her that I was calling my attorney.

She posted this in its place.

Michelle Fields ‎@MichelleFields


For those asking...Charles Johnson says it wasn't him who hacked my email/icloud/etc. We're looking into what happened.
Click to expand...
That was nearly four months ago. Has she found the hacker (assuming there was one)? It doesn’t look like it. Oddly she doesn’t seem to have reached out to law enforcement in this case.

But she has continued to blame me telling other Breitbart staffers at a party I attended during CPAC in early March that I had hacked her computer. She was told by her bosses to cut it out. But she kept doing it.

Should I sue her? After all, falsely accusing someone of a crime is libel. I’m not so sure. I’m tempted to. What do you think? Email me at editor@gotnews.com. If you’re an attorney and want to take it on contingency, let me know. You can have the money or light it on fire Joker-style for all I care. I don’t like liars like Michelle Fields.

Is Michelle Fields a pathological liar? I don’t know but Fields certainly has a history of lying. She claims that she was a Fox News contributor but there’s no record she ever was.

All of this would be cleared up, of course, if Breitbart would release the emails that show Fields’s immediate reaction. 

I’ve called on Breitbart to release those emails which I’m told will show that Fields did not mention her bruising.

They could even make some money.

:lol:  this is when Trump starts talking about a wall - his fans love that, admitted he does that at his rallies when things are slow.

Other move is to make some odd statement that gets press then crys that he gets treated unfairly after they talk about him all day. 

 
http://www.paulnehlen.com/paul-ryan-betrayal/

I was arguably Paul Ryan’s biggest supporter in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District. I pounded signs for him, made phone calls, and worked to get people out to vote for what Ryan said was his priority—getting Americans, and specifically people from our district, working again.

In a district that has deep roots in manufacturing and industry, what could be more important?

But what Paul Ryan claimed he wanted to accomplish and what he’s actually doing? The fact is, they simply don’t match up.
Click to expand...
So, when Paul Ryan began pushing a massive, job-killing international “trade” deal known as the Trade Promotion Authority and Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPA/TPP), it was the final straw for me. I know what TPA/TPP will do to this district. It sells out American workers. It sells out American business and industry. It will kill the economy in this district, never mind the rest of the nation.

Why would Paul Ryan do such a thing?

I asked myself that question again and again, trying to understand. I couldn’t believe he would be so reckless. I couldn’t believe he would sell out his own district in that way.

And then I started looking at public records…and it all began to make sense.

Approximately 83 percent of Paul Ryan’s campaign funding comes from outside of Wisconsin’s 1st District. And of that 83 percent, 65 percent of his funding comes straight from Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia.

Paul Ryan isn’t representing our district. He’s representing the big businesses and big banks that pour money into his campaign coffers. It’s their agendas he’s carrying forward with his votes in Congress…not ours.

John Oliver patiently explains why the Mexican Wall is the dumbest idea in modern politics history

Really, if any legit politician suggested this wall, that would have been the end of their candidacy.  In the future, when politicians screwed up, media would say 'This was his Mexican Wall Moment.'  Like a political jumping of the shark.  

But this Circus Peanut isn't a legit politician.  

I really can't believe people still think Trump is going to lose his followers over the latest dumb thing he says.  Expecting Trump fans to suddenly get offended by what he says is like expecting Insane Clown Posse fans to suddenly get upset about littering at concerts.  

March of the Trumpallos will continue.

Dad Whose Son Was Killed by Illegal: Ted Cruz Angrier About Donald Trump Tweets Than Illegal Immigrant Killers

“It’s like we’ve got a voice now. People are listening,” says 53-year-old Billy Inman, whose teenage son was murdered by an illegal alien nearly sixteen years ago. “Donald Trump gives us a little bit of hope. … For years, I’d talk to our ‘elected ones,’ and it was like talking to a wall … [but] Donald Trump is bringing us onto his stage.”
Click to expand...
Billy and Kathy Inman said that this tragedy and their subsequent efforts in the fight to close America’s borders made their choice of whom to vote for in the 2016 election plainly simple.

“I voted for Trump because of the way he feels about illegal immigration. He’s going to do something about it,” Kathy Inman told Breitbart. As a result of the car crash, Mrs. Inman now suffers from dystonia, a neurological movement disorder, which causes her muscles to involuntarily contract and twist painfully and uncontrollably.
Click to expand...
Donald Trump “loves America,” Billy Inman explained. “This man is one of the richest people that we have. He could live anywhere in the world if he wants to, but he chooses America. He lives in New York and Florida. He’s raised his kids here, his grandkids here. He loves America.”

Inman said that he does not believe any of the other politicians running for president are committed to securing the nation’s borders. “Cruz is a talker,” Inman explained
Click to expand...
“I wish the RNC and Cruz would fight as hard to secure our borders as they’re fighting to not let Trump into office,” Inman said. “It bothers me that they’re more bothered by him and are working harder to get rid of him and are spending all this money [to get rid of him], instead of fixing the problems that he’s addressing.”

ted cruz supports mass immigration global free trade

Charles C. Foster (above) is a pro-mass-immigration, pro-executive amnesty Houston superlawyer. 

He supports the import of Syrian refugees into the state of Texas, as he explained in this 2015  op-ed in the Houston Chronicle.

He supports Obama's executive amnesty, as he wrote in a 2014 op-ed in the Houston Chronicle.

He supports the HIB visa program, arguing in 2012 against Phyllis Schafly's critique, "H1B Visas Take American Jobs," characterizing Schlafly arguments as "misplaced," "wrong," and "ridiculous" at TexasGOPvote.com.  

He supports Ted Cruz.

Huh? Isn't Cruz that "outsider" rootin'-tootin' populistic immigration restrictionist we hear about, now even touting "fair trade," not "free" trade, in Wisconsin?
Click to expand...
As The Atlantic reported on May 23, 2013:

Cruz helped craft the [George W. Bush ] campaign's immigration policy, which called for speeding up the application process, increasing the number of work visas, and allowing the relatives of permanent residents to visit the U.S. while their applicants were pending. "Family values don't stop at the Rio Grande," Bush used to say.
Click to expand...
beginning on June 17, 2013, Ted Cruz introduced a series of amendments to the Gang of 8 immigration bill, which, had they been enacted, would have gone a long way to implement that same Cruz-Foster immigration policy of the 2000 Bush campaign: 1) speeding up the application process; 2) increasing the number of work visas (Cruz's amendments expanded both green cards and H1B visas far beyond Gang of 8 caps); and even, as the Cato Institute noted in its analysis of Cruz's Senate immigration record, "[allowing] the spouses of all H-1B visa holders to work legally – going beyond President Obama’s actions to increase work eligibly for those spouses."

Cato wrote: "Senator Cruz is normally viewed as an immigration restrictionist – an unfair characterization."
Click to expand...
I can hear the two words forming: Poison Pills. Remember those Cruz amendments to the Gang of 8 bill that were really "poison pills" designed to sink it? That's what Ted Cruz tells us, anyway.

How stupid does he think we are? Pretty stupid, given the success of his ploy.

How can I be so sure it is a ploy?

To answer, let me me quote the GOP presidential candidate, himself: Sen. Ted Cruz, speaking on April 29, 2015 before the United States Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. He is answering a question on immigration -- specifically, How do you propose to harness the power of immigrants to help the economy?

Stating "there is no stronger advocate of legal immigration in the US Senate than I am," Cruz gets to those supposed "poison pill" amendments (starting at around minute 37:45):  

When it comes to economic growth and jobs, you know, it was quite interesting: In the Senate Judiciary committee, I introduced an amendment on H1B visas. Current cap was 65,000, the Gang of 8 bill, which I opposed because it made the problem worse, I believed.

But the Gang of 8 bill had some positive aspects when it came to H1B visas. It increased it from 65,000 to 110,000 visas. The problem is that's not nearly high enough. ... 

"Not nearly high enough"? Does this sound like someone explaining how, in reality, he was scuttling the Gang of 8 bill with a "poison pill"?

Would these establishment pols and power brokers saddle up again for someone as "bad" on these basic, all-important issues as Donald Trump? I think not. Their best hope may be to try to impede Trump's road to the nomination; but when it comes to immigration and trade, the Bush-Cruz merger is a meeting of political like-minds.

Another yuge reason to vote for Donald Trump.

On CNN, Dilbert Creator Says Trump Will Win Because Between Mom And Dad, Dad Is The One You Call When There's Trouble

JAKE TAPPER (HOST): You have this new theory about a Trump-Clinton general election contest that will, in your view, potentially favor Trump. What is it? 

SCOTT ADAMS: So when we have Trump versus Clinton, assuming they get to the final match, it's going to look like mom versus dad. Now, they're not going to say that, but in our minds we're going to start seeing them that way. And the thing about dad is that dad is kind of an #####, but if you need dad to take care of some trouble, he's going to be the one you call. You know, if there's a noise downstairs, you probably are not going to call mom, even if she's awesome. You're probably going to call the biggest person in the room, you're going to call dad. So in our irrational minds, if the world is exploding and we're still talking about nuclear terrorism, I think people are going to say, maybe you want the most dangerous person to protect us. If people are saying things are looking pretty good right now, the economy's not so bad, all I need is a sandwich and a hug, maybe mom looks better. So I think people end up talking about the issues and then ignoring them and it's these big, just feelings that they have about the candidates that are going to rule in the end.
