Securing our borders is not just a Republican concern........People in the middle are concerned about security...The things the Republicans need to lighten up on are abortion laws' gun control and religion....Abortion laws are not going to make us more secure, create jobs, or fix our national debt....Reasonable gun control seems very reasonable....Using a God that they believe in as a pawn seems counter to what religion is about...
As a former caddy at a club in CT, this kind of stuff hits close to home. Most of the members displayed the class you always hope to see among the wealthy, but we had a few Trumps who treated everyone like dog ####. There's no better display of true character imo, to see how someone in power treats underlings. Some are more gracious and generous than they need to be; others are just cruel and nasty because they can get away with it.
We could certainly use some help, starting in here. In case you haven't noticed, this forum doesn't accurately represent the US demographics that put Trump in the lead.
How so? What do you think his support is nationally when put up against all candidates on both sides? Probably about the same as the representation on here.
Except for illegal immigration.
Us Bernie Bros have our hands full right now, HRC is going into hyper lying mode vs. Sanders so we're going to be busy setting the record straight for the next few months (or until Bernie gets crushed in NY, whatever comes first). I thought you guys had this. Just get Trump a decent manager and someone who can right cogent copy and he should get back on top.
Probably not in a Trump thread. You'd probably need to start your own about it.
That's because this forum isn't comprised entirely of GOP or GOP-leaning voters, which is the only demographic that puts Trump in the lead. Any survey of the general population, likely voters, etc. shows him trailing badly.
I obviously don't have scientific polling to prove my point and would have to present anything as a gut feel or generality, but it seems this board is a little left leaning.
There's a constant misperception among Trump supporters in here that anyone critical of Trump is "The Left". Trump is disliked by huge numbers of conservatives and moderates, for varying reasons.
I'd like to know where this lunatic thought he was going to find a cotton gin.
The only caveat to that is the fact that there doesn't seem to much Cruz support at all. We've a thread on Bernie and Hilary, one (or three) on Trump, and none on Kasich or Cruz. All discussion for the Republican candidates is center for and against Trump.
Trump was a media phenomenon before this election cycle and is the most polarizing political figure I can recall. And he's had a rise to the top of the polls that defies all conventional logic, so of course he gets all the attention. Cruz is a weird creep who few people even heard of before this election cycle, and is probably gaining more anti-Trump votes than pro-Cruz votes. There are few things more unpleasant than thinking about or discussing Ted Cruz as president.
You're wrong. Trump could have trounced Hillary if he would have behaved like an adult.
Behaving like a child is what got him this far. This might be as far as he can go, but being the biggest tool in the shed is why he's here. If he had acted like an adult, everyone could have focused more on his lack of coherent policy, his laughable plan to keep Mexicans out, and his lovely history with women.
That right there would be a floor I would not consider clean enough too eat off of.
Wrong. He could have got here with vague policy and tough talk. The illegals stuff was his biggest selling point, always. And if he held strong on that plus behaved himself he would have cruised into the WH.
Erase all video of his media appearances going back 30 years?
I thought you meant the childish insults, promoting violence at his rallies, tweeting insulting things about his opponent's wives, etc. If you meant hi stance on minorities, that's what made him so popular in the primaries. Yes, if he eliminated the racism, he may have stood a chance in the general, but that was his big selling point early-on and what gave him his momentum.
Donald has warped everything but you and Donald probably have the same definition of amnesty. If people here illegally aren't deported that's 'amnesty.' The GOP had a wide menu of options after that including some which weren't all that different from where Hillary was in 2014. Who knows what they do now, probably everyone has tuned them out after Donald's escapades. Can't remember what Cruz's positions have been, he's had multiple.
What you have to do is act soft to get the votes. Then you bring the hammer down on these law breakers.
This is not a one issue election Tim. There are plenty of other platforms that a Republican could run on and win the general - especially against Hillary. It just so happens that the Republicans seem determined to nominate someone even more unlikeable than Hillary.

You know what, he could have made the illegals comment and still kicked ### in November. He didn't lose any votes over what weenies like you want to call "promoting violence at rallies". People saw thru that attempt. The Megyn Kelly and Heidi Cruz crap have killed him and all that could've been avoided. After Super Tuesday he needed to tone it down big time and prepare for Hillary and he would have steamrolled. His base was cemented, he didn't need more antics. But, instead of toning it down he amped it up a few notches and people finally got tired of it.
Read more post less. You'll learn something.
Of course you think that. At least I can admit I'm to the far end of the one side where I don't get how any of his stuff is offensive. You will never acknowledge you're all the way over to the opposite where every ####### thing is offensive.What a botched analysis of the situation. You seem to be grossly disconnected from the reality of the situation, but what do I know, I'm just a weenie.
That's interesting to speculate on.Henry Ford said:
