Re: Trump 2016

What most supporting Trump believe is that he has had a conversion, similar to the one Reagan went through.
I am still not convinced that he will not grow bored with the race and withdraw, at some point.

Re: Trump 2016

Yeah, the Palin endorsement is a negative in my opinion.
No matter who she endorsed.
Still wonder what McCain was thinking.

Re: Trump 2016

Do you think there is a possibility of a Trump/Palin ticket?

Re: Trump 2016

So Huckaby gets a whatever million dollar law suit filed against him by Survivor at Kim Davis release, and wouldn't you know it that's the song Trump walked on the stage with at the Iowa show w Palin intro...

Yeah, after listening to her, I think she'll likely just hurt Trump more than help him, by running her mouth about genuine conservative. I can't hardly stand to listen to her.

This is great news. Palin was a quitter as a governor and was a terrible VP candidate. She's grabbing on The Donald's coattails because of his popularity and hoping he'll make her his VP.

I'm not prepared to give the nomination to Trump.

Sarah received a lot of backlash over her endorsement. We don't have to overthink this, Sarah was burned by the GOP in 2008 and she is playing - Gotcha back.

But to the point, this is Donald Trump via Ben Shapiro who nails it:

"Wrap your head around this folks: Donald Trump is the great unifying force within the Republican Party. Trump has exploited conservative rage against the Establishment to achieve conservative support; he's exploited Establishment rage against conservatives to achieve Establishment support. Trump is all things to all people - and, in reality, nothing to any of these groups. He isn't conservative. He isn't fully Establishment. Trump is simply Trump, a politician of convenience who swivels, with full sincerity, on a dime. And it's working."

I would only add that it is working for those who are not clearly paying attention, and that if you are not conservative, you are Establishment. You can't be both.

It was astonishing that Jerry Falwell, Jr. said that we are not looking for a Sunday School teacher. What does that tell us as to where the church is today? His statement goes along with a poster I engaged with who said, "People aren't following nor supporting Trump because of his values." WUT?

And the beat goes on...

Re: Trump 2016

Palin helped send Cruz to DC to be a conservative fighter. He gives us a 100% CR. She decides that is not what she really wanted? She appears to be an opportunist.

I might have posted this some time back, but when Sarah rode around the country in her bus toying with people that she was going to run for president, that is when I shut her out completely. A dumb stunt.

Re: Trump 2016

At this point, I've almost given up on the GOP producing a Conservative capable of unifying the country.
