For goodness sake, he's such an easy target. You don't have to lie or even exaggerate. He's so full of dirt, the only problem attacking him is figuring out what you want to attack him on first. If they pummel him in on-air ads in Florida, Ohio and Illinois, they should be able to hurt him.
It's possible that his supporters are so emotionally committed to him that they will be blinded to all logic. If that's the case, it's really too late. I think enough of his supporters will listen though and he will go down. That's my prediction: He will not win the nomination. ![Angry Angry](https://atheistforums.org/images/smilies/angry.gif)
You and everyone else not voting for trump think that same way... Unfortunately you all seem to be in the minority.
What you guys fail to get is the dynamic has changed. Most People are not stupid. Most people can see through the dirt the DNC and GOP will sling. Even if some of this dirt lands on trump, it does not effects Trump the same way it works on other politicians for two reasons.
1) Trump's time on TV and personal marketing campaign over the last decade maybe 20 years makes him a house hold name. it makes people feel like they know him. That said he was not so stupid to try and paint himself as anything he is not. He has always portrayed himself as a mogul. Moguls in society are allowed to play by different rules to a certain extent. They don't have to pretend to be the boy scouts politicians pretend to be. So the dirt they are currently sling-ing won't stick. Why? it's politician dirt. that stuff is only good for taking out hypocrites and boy scouts.
2)Not to mention the second reason. Again, People are not stupid. Trump represent Real change. He is the Change Obama pretended to be while leashed to the DNC. This is why Cruz has no appeal. He is claiming to be an 'outsider' yet has 100% support of the GOP. One can not truly bring change if one is tied to the one of the two REAL institutions that control this country. In essence this country has been either Chocolate or Vanilla no matter who we elected for the last 60 years.
Trump is real change, he is Orange sorbet. He owes neither party anything because they did not pay his way to the oval office. For the first time in a very very very long time this country will be free from the rule of chocolate or vanilla. that is why both parties have turned on him.
Now don't get me wrong, I am not a fan of orange sorbet, but at the same time i am damn tired of the same old 'new and improved chocolate and vanilla.' It's all marketing. It's the same old crap in a different package every 4 to 8 years.
Who knows maybe we get to try a new flavor for a few years, most Americans can learn to like it

The Detroit Free Press gives Trump a 10 point lead in Michigan. If he loses or wins by a lot less than that...or if he wins by more than that... we'll know what fucking Romney's opinion was worth.

I guess you want Hillary to win then.

The only person who would beat Hilary is Rubio I think. I highly doubt Trump would.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

No secret I have an absurdist take on most things; a Trump administration would feel like a old favorite dildo right up my pooper.
As for the rest of you, I'll have fun watching you get reamed too,
and I'll be touching myself.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

How is that? He hardly has a following at all.
The Republican Party is dead. It died years ago. Why? Because it sucks. Rubio and Cruz are just relics from the old dead party. Nobody wants to revive the dead here.
Trump is the only one that can defeat the neocon crook Hillary. He is not a Republican or a Democrat. That's why he is appealing.
Put an establishment Republican on the ticket and he will be slaughtered 100% of the time. That party needs to go away. Something else needs to take its place.

Rubio. The Not-Ready-For-Prime-Time-Player.
Even the people who endorse him think he's a schmuck.

Quote:Rubio endorser struggles to name Rubio accomplishments
Quote:At the end of his interview, freshman Rep. Cresent Hardy (R-Nev.) was asked the question about what he has seen from Rubio over the course of his last year in Congress. Hardy took office in January 2015, a little more than three months before Rubio announced his candidacy.
“On the Hill, I have not seen that. He’s been running for a presidential race most of this year," Hardy said. "As far as his policies in the past, I know that he’s done some things that even have been a little frustrating for an individual like myself at times."

Trump is appealing to everything that is low and hateful in American society.
That's why he can't win, even if he gets the nomination. Too many Republicans will either refuse to vote or will, reluctantly, vote democrat.
Either way, the Dems win.

Hey. This is actually good news.

Considering their unbroken record of dismal failure we'd all be better off if no one ever asked them for a fucking opinion about anything.
