Rubio is pretty weak..... small wonder.

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Do you accept that Trump really wants to be President, or not?
I was the first to post here that he would run and that is when the brain trust here started to tell me how stupid I was.

What you need to understand is that he was fine with not running too. Had he not done so well he'd have removed himself quickly.

Is he a CRuz who has dreamed of being president pre grade school? No. Not at all.

I have never seen it more blatant than this week.

I disagree.

Most America's hold their nose and vote. Yes his are a bit higher but he has not made his "turn" yet.

It's the GOP that has the energy, it is the GOP that has voters swelling the primaries. Dem voters are down. Hillary has very high negatives too.

I'll likely hold my noise and vote for Hillary. See how that works?

I see Hillary very negatively.

This is not his pathway to the presidency and he knows it.

His path is lined with compromise and championing macro extreme wants of the populous.

We might discuss any of these points you feel are supported too much by 'unreasoned emotion.'

You are stuck in the now, he is too smart to stay in the now. You have not notice he is the master of adaptation? The ultimate political chameleon?

but I don't see how this paragraph were discussion points as delivered.

They were as you said, your reasoning.
-----------------------------


Just watching republican strategists:

women says

"I am utterly terrified"

then the guy says

" (Trump)the most manifestly unqualified person to ever run for office"

then the women again

"times 1000."

The GOP still doesn't get it. This talk is solidifying Trump. There rhetoric is so extreme it's just blown off as a whinny child not getting his way.

How do you spell dumb? GOP

Polls done of yesterday's voters indicate that 1/3 of GOP will not vote for Trump under any conditions. Moreover, last night in his victory speech, he continued his boorish silliness rather than trying to throw an olive branch in an effort to win their votes in November. Hillary's gonna beat that pompous clown like a rented mule (unless, of course, she gets indicted).

His hyperbolic bombast has never gone down with a number of folk, including me. I hated him on sight with the promos for his shitty "reality"show, which I refused to watch, regarding it as a fluffed up version of Flavor Flave's pathetically trashy shit show. If anyone deserves the orange fist award for obxoxiousness, it's this self absorbed pompous ass of an attention whore.

this morning he spoke and that and said it was not quite time yet... so far his calculations have been pretty good with IMO his handling of the KKK thing. Took too much time to speak against, gave the black community time to unite against him in that two day flub.

He was not getting the black vote anyway so....

-----------------

kinda off subject, I see nothing pompous about him.
