Trumps core numbers are now up and show front runner

Well... Jeb isn't going to do it for them, nor Carly, nor Rubio, nor any of the others who names escape me at the moment. 😉

What I'm waiting for are the attack ads "from" republicans aimed "at" a republican i.e. Donald.
That will split the party even more.
Currently the republican party has been split into chunks, but after the attack ads attempting to defeat Donald, split into grains of sand.

This is Hillary's election to lose.

Another thing I am waiting for from Donald Trump, is when after he leaves all his opponents in the dust as they one by one self destruct, I'm waiting for Donald to proclaim that "democrats" are also aligning with his candidacy.
When Donald is the sure bet for the republican nomination, he will claim a majority of democrats are also on his side.
It doesn't need be true, but that will sure shake up the Hillary democrats.
Just as republicans never thought for a second Donald was a real threat to their right wing establishment, democrats will also wonder if they have not underestimated that guy with the weird hair?
Will enough traditional loyal democrats leave Hillary for Trump?
Is it possible Donald Trump is a witch toting magical powers?
Sure would be weird to see a chuck of democrats buttering up to Trump, while a chunk of republicans are determined to fight against him.

This could take a real fatal toll on your everyday political analyst.

I wouldn't. Look what it did to him; he thinks Trump's racist prick tendencies are just a product of "hysterical" liberals, not a continuing train wreck of PR that is still happening.

That's sounds less like a good time and more like a bad trip to me. Just say No jones!

Continuing train wreck of PR that's sending him straight to the White House, you mean. But continue whining, that'll help you cope.
 
I love how the Liberals pointed and laughed at Trump - with the Conservatives responding; "LULbirals... they think Trump is being taken seriously..."

Now that Trump is a true contender; "LULbirals... RUN AND HIDE!! TRUMP IS GONNA FUCK YOU UP!!! USA! USA! USA!!"
 
Honestly I'm a pretty liberal/progressive guy and I think on the stuff that's important like budgets, health, not getting into stupid wars Trump will be just like a Democrat. He'll just word it differently.

This is extremely misleading. Nixon didn't choose fiat money. He was forced by the market. Other countries realized we were printing way more money than there was gold to support that money, so they started exchanging their dollars for gold at the agreed $35/oz rate. One could call it an international run on the bank. Gold was leaving the country at an alarming rate. He could either flip to fiat money immediately and keep America's gold (and screw America's creditors), or he could wait until all of the gold was gone and then flip to fiat money. He probably made the right choice. At least we still have our gold. Think of it as a form of defaulting on debts.

WTF? He didnt make the right choice. The right choice was to stop printing money. He had the power to veto every spending bill that was not properly funded. Maybe some would have been overidden, but he didnt even try.

Far be it from me to interrupt your delusions, but what actually happened was that Trump got more and more popular every time he said something that drove brainless liberals insane with rage. That's why they're so angry, since this provides us with more and more evidence that their world views are so diametrically opposed to reality.
 
Since 2009 Rep's main strategy has been antagonism of Dems. It has served them well. They have basically taken over congress with that strategy (and gerrymandering, which requires winning states typically so still a form of winning). Donald is basically antagonism personified and this is highly attractive to this new class of Rep that just eats that up. Not sure it will serve him as well in the general election but increasingly it seems like its possible we'll find out or maybe once we get to actual primaries he'll fall out of favor like the fad most people think he is.

LOL, liberals aren't mad at Trump, they're not the ones raising money to run attack ads aimed at him, that would be the repubs. Don't you find it curious that the repubs are going to run attacks ads to try to take down their frontrunner?

I don't think Trump would be that bad from a policy standpoint (with a few glaring exceptions that wouldn't ever happen anyways), but from a leadership standpoint he'd be a train wreck. The image of the US might never recover. We could just relabel the country the united states of reality tv, and turn in our dignity.
 
The number one reason that Trump is leading, is because the liberal media, whose ratings have been dropping like stones for years, are desperate for viewers. And they know that viewers will watch, when Trump is on saying those politically incorrect things It was so funny months back to watch the CNN panel, who were so outraged, keep asking why are we giving this guy so much air time and do we talking about him? But their bosses knew why. So in a way, Trump's success is a creation of the liberal media.

The fact of the matter is the way the election system is currently set up there really aren't other options due to the money funneled in.

I guess it would be an independent, as an only other option atm, but even then he would not be what would pull if off.

The fact of the matter is people are fed up being told which corporate shill to vote for so people like Trump and Sanders are actually polling quite high. I love the doom and gloom outlooks though. As if in 1 term any of these people could ruin the entire country... or would want to.

ZOMG!!! If teh libs get 'lected teh skies be fallin'.

So, your argument is that liberal media is to blame for Trump's success? :biggrin:

Is Faux news a part of the liberal media? Does the liberal media influence conservative voters? Do conservative voters even watch anything other than Faux news?

If I were Trump and had inherited the money he did to begin with, I'd probably be doing the same thing.

Doesn't mean he would make a good POTUS, but he's going to have a lot of fun in the meantime.

Pretty much wins the ultimate troll award I'd say.

Cut your way to victory. It's how to run a successful nation and it's how to run a successful campaign.

From the beginning I thought Jeb! was running just because he was pressured to by his party, friends and possibly his Brother. Now I am certain of it. He really doesn't want to be President he just hasn't admitted it yet. He is essentially Joe Biden if Joe chose to run.

:thumbsup: This.

A Trump nomination would be the best thing ever for liberals. As a moderate myself who has voted Democrat in the last few Presidential elections I think a Trump nomination all but guarantees an implosion of the republican party and the 2016 run for the White House. I don't think hard core conservatives will vote for Trump and he's doing his best to piss off women and minority voters.
 
All this sounds good and dandy, but watch the Establishment pull bush out of the hat like a Magician. He will get the nomination.

Bernard Goldberg wrote a very well known book on it. He was a 28 year CBS veteran.

This is how it broke down in a survey of 139 Washington media Bureau chiefs and congressional reporters.

89% said they voted for Bill Clinton in 1992 vs 43% of the population
7% voted for George Bush vs 37% of the population
2% voted for Ross Perot vs 19% of the population
