Quote:The fact that Donald Trump is able to bounce back after insulting McCain & remaining at top of the polls makes me think he is a real candidate.  That or other candidates will start to realize that the American people are tired of the policy on illegals in this country.

 

You do realize that polling data this early in the race doesn't mean anything right?

 

Quote:People said the same about Obama and that Hillary was a lock.

 

But you claim to know more than me about politics, so please provide me your wisdom on what makes you believe Trump isn't a serious candidate and how the current set of establishment GOP candidates could even possibly take Ohio, Florida, Colorado, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Virginia from Hillary Clinton, all the while demographically Republicans are losing millions of potential voters by the year.

 

 

 

It is part of it.

 

 

 

"He is a bully" isn't a reason someone shouldn't be electable. It isn't about how you say it, but what you say you will do. He could be the biggest butthead out there, but it wouldn't matter if he could turn around the debt, fix social services, and lower unemployment. Not voting for someone because "muh feelings" is juvenile.

 

I'll be your Huckleberry.

 

This isn't all of the states that you listed, but a few key ones are mentioned (Iowa, Virginia and Colorado).  If that's any indicator this early in the election season then Hillary should be concerned.  I find the segment that MSNBC aired kind of amusing.

Do you have Al Sharptons poll numbers for 2003?

 

What exactly has Trump said that is anti-conservative in value?

 

What makes you believe he cant negotiate internationally? That he wasn't a politician? News flash, some of our most successful presidents weren't internationally negotiating career politicians.

 

Every single candidate running, democrat or republican, is filthy rich and white, except for Ben Carson. Trump talks about his status because he is proud about his wealth and accomplishments. He doesn't have political success to talk about because he isn't a politician, so he talks about his business success, internationally and domestically.

 

Meanwhile, establishment candidates are plotting to boycott the first debate because of Trump. Amazing.

Who could possibly vote for these spineless cowards over Clinton when they are terrified to even share the stage with Trump? GOP is gonna get blown out in 2016 if its not Trump, and its gonna be amazing. This party is going the way of the Whigs, and deservingly so.

 

I'm not exactly sure why net worth or ethnicity is such a big deal to you, but I wouldn't call Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio "rich white men".

 

Regarding the second bolded part from your quote, I think Carly Fiorina is talking about the same thing in a lot of her speeches.  I actually like her, but I don't think she has a real shot at winning.

 

Finally, as to the third part in bold, it wasn't any "establishment candidates plotting" anything.  If you bothered to read your own stupid link to a blog post, it was a meeting of the Republican Governors Association, and an idea that was brought up was to urge Jeb Bush, Scott Walker and Marco Rubio to state that they would refuse to enter any debate in which Donald Trump was participating in.  I would hardly call that "establishment candidates plotting" anything, but go ahead and keep trying to spin the facts to back up your point of view.
