Destroying Your Party's Frontrunner For Personal Gain Only Helps Your Opposition

[EriktheRed]

It's my distinct impression that Trump supporters are behind him based on attitude rather than ideology.

Those ideologues on the Right should be more than satisfied with Ted Cruz as their standard bearer. But Trump's attitude, his boorish, strutting, vulgar attitude seems to be the flame some Right Wing moths are drawn to. Trump's political ideology seems to be all over the map. If he did not present himself with such an overbearing, thuggish, brutal attitude, would the political firebrands who waved the banner of hard core Conservatism be attracted to him? They surely would have branded him a flip flopper and raced to Ted Cruz' side.

But it's attitude than brings them in. Are they really committed to a far Right political agenda, or die they seek an angry fighter no matter his policies?

It's like when Pope Leo crowned Charlemagne king of the Holy Roman Empire. The Pope knew the guy was a major thug, but he didn't give a shit about how truly pious the guy was, he wanted his protection.

I constantly see people jumping to conclusions with Trump.

He said he would go after terrorists families. This is assumed to be he will kill them. All I heard him say was questioning and possible incarceration. Mealy mouthed suck asses are going into a tizzy claiming he's going to assassinated terrorist family members (who knew about terrorist plots).Some are even wringing their hands over terrorists who are out of uniform. We can't kill them unless they tell us they're a member of ISIS, one idiot claimed.

If you want to encourage terrorists, tell them they are safe as long as they hide their intentions.

Stumpy Fingers used the term "take out" their families

Are you now claiming he wants to date them?

Folks like Romney and Rubio are trying to save the GOP from itself. I hope you guys don't let them.

I'm sure you don't.

You had you're chance, but you blew it. Now you're just jealous. The Democrats destroyed their party a long time ago.

You'd never see a thread like this from the RWnuts around here if Jeb Bush WERE still the frontrunner.

If Jeb Bush was the frontrunner, you guys would tailor your lies to attack him instead.

It doesn't matter who the target is......as long as they're a Republican.

They get trashed......because your candidate sucks balls.

If Bush were the frontrunner your view would be exactly the opposite of what it is in this thread.

Get back on the banana boat that brought you here and go home.

Sorry racist. I was born in Montana. So go fuck yourself.

lol, so your frequent use of non-American English spellings is what? An affectation? lolol. Busted.

Last night's debate was a disgrace. It's clear that the only reason Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz were making personal attacks on Donald Trump was because they want to be president so bad, they are willing to compromise their principles.

Mitt Romney is another example. Mitt's feelings were hurt, so he was willing to sacrifice his decency to get even for the sour grapes he's still tasting from his own failed campaign. I get the feeling that any outsider would receive this treatment, but when it comes to debates, this is what can be expected in every case. Not just this one. They want everyone to think they're earnest when they attack Trump, but to be clear, if it was Cruz, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Rubio, he would be getting this treatment. If it was Ben Carson, he would be accused of sexual-assault, knifing classmates, being a psychopath. That's just the way these people play the game.

Here's the danger. When you go through this mess, it peels off votes. Small groups of people who have core principles are peeled off and will not vote for the Republican nominee even if it means giving a shitforbrains scumbag like Obama the White House. Democrat voters aren't so principled. They are on record stating very clearly that they'll vote for a rapist if he's a Democrat. They have no core principles other than winning.

The only thing positive that can come from this is that Republicans are using every bit of opposition research Hillary has early, rather than later, and when the general election starts, she won't have anything new. It will be old news. Still, the risk of alienating large swaths of potential voters is high. Many people have said that they would rather let Hillary win than vote for Trump, because the public trashing of his reputation has reached lows that I personally cannot remember ever happening before. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

It's clear that the establishment is in a panic. Ask Karl Rove about Trump and he turns into a red faced madman. Glenn Beck is just as bad. These people are really pissed that their hand-picked pushover isn't winning the hearts and minds of the public anymore.

Good.

We're tired of being told who to vote for and then losing our asses to dishonest and incompetent Democrats.
So if you want Amnesty, vote for the establishment guy _____________. And when Hillary brings up their flaws, and sweeps them in the election, you'll only have yourself to blame.

You guys should have thought about that when you pouted & refused to vote when Romney & McCain won.

You all brought us to this point

Exactly. Who wants to listen to whiners that can't be trusted.

The party that's had the White House for the last two terms and is still marginally favored to keep it as well as possibly take back the Senate "destroyed" itself???

At one point I thought Rubio might make a decent VP - a sort of apprenticeship.

And I still feel that way but that it would be best to let him at least finish pre-school before undertaking any form of apprenticeship.

Busted my ass. I've just been well-traveled. Learned Spanish, German, Persian-Farse, and Arabic.

I was a Green Beret in 5th Special Forces Group for years. Don't know of any Brits in the United States Army.

You're just looking at my location, but I'm not going to tell anyone where I really live. I've had people wanting to meet up with me. I'm not here to meet people.

 

[mudwhistle]

you do realize that Mr Trump is no different, and outsourced his merchandise to be made in China and Mexico...

And Mr. Trump also stated the USA worker can not compete on the world stage of manufacturing because our wages are too high...suggesting they need lowering or removing the minimum wage....

And that once we deport all illegals, it's fine with him to rebring them back in on legal visas to work here...

AND in his country club in Florida he brought from foreign countries and hired 200 or so on HB1 visas, while hiring only 17 American workers....having his workforce enslaved to him, because those hb1 visa workers can NOT seek work elsewhere or threaten to walk off the job without being deported....

please don't let yourself be snowed.....by a con man....and let yourself hear only the parts you want to hear, of what he's actually been saying and doing.

He flailed and faltered when he was asked about his making shit in China and Mexico. For a guy who makes deals....great deals.....fantastic deals....he sure hasn't been able to make a deal with American textile manufacturers.

And....let's clear something up. China IS NO LONGER DEVALUING ITS CURRENCY.

That line is now a lie.

Our massive Trade Deficits and more & more businesses fleeing our country, is truly embarrassing. The career politicians have decimated decent-paying American jobs. Trump is Spot On for pointing that out. Career hack politicians are killing us, especially on trade.

Whatever. Nutbags and deregulation focused assholes did that. Clinton fucked up with NAFTA and Obama is fucking up with TPP. But....if not for the extreme influence that the Cahmberbof Commerce and multinationals have.....neither would have come to fruition.

Liberals want regulated capitalism. Nutbags want unregulated capitalism. Simple stuff.

Awful trade deals negotiated by career hack politicians. Look at the results. It's time to dump the career politicians. It's Trump's time.

That, right there, is the most hilarious, outrageous, and ironic thing to come out of this election cycle.

Libertartians, or is it libertarians, supporting Herr Trumpf - the guy who represents everything they don't. What a bunch of uneducated morons!

Says the moron who votes for the Hildabeast.

Yeah, for folks supporting the most corrupt candidate running for President, they sure do come off as very smug and preachy. It's not like they're supporting a good candidate, or even a good person.

The country is not turning majority socialist. That's not what's killing Republicans.

What's happening is the voter base for secular minorities is increasing rapidly, and the non minority evangelical voter base is flat.

The GOP's message cannot appeal to socially conservative evangelicals and secular minorities at the same time.

Secular minorities? Are you a new kind of word invention machine?

the smaller number or part, especially a number that is less than half the whole number denoting attitudes, activities, or other things that have no religious or spiritual basis.

Aaaand the definition

Silly nutbag.

That is a sentence which consists of the combined definitions of secular and minority

You are making up terms. It's so cool. Great job.

The dictionary did.

That's been a problem for righties lately. They've been revising the definitions of words and history to suit conservative politics
