Something I'm Not Going To Forget Anytime Soon.

These insults and narcissistic attitudes coming from conservative talking heads directed at me, the Trump supporter.

Donald Trump is getting it from all sides in the biggest hate fest on any candidate I can remember during any election cycle but I am especially concerned over how much of this hate and scorn is coming from the right and particularly directed at Trump's supporters.

We embarrass the republicans but it is we who elected Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and down in Florida, Marco Rubio. This whole Trump episode and the behavior of conservative elites and Republican establishment types only confirms for me that there is very little difference between both parties. If Romney for instance had but only a smidgen of hate and scorn that he holds for Trump and his supporters toward Obama when he ran against him instead of him kissing up to Obama while scared to death of the race card playing media protecting him, he would have been president.

 

If it helps?

As a progressive who wants to see the GOP lose not only the White House BIG TIME, but probably the Senate as well?....


I WANT Trump to be the GOP Nominee, same as you.

 

What your sensing is not hate, it the natural playing out of the political process.

People get their opinions and the talking heads can advocate for those opinions strongly.

<MOD EDIT - Removed flamebait>

Hate is the intense often irrational emotion which suppresses intelligence and prevents the formation valid opinions.

Hate is what has allowed these clueless sheep to support things which bring oppression, destruction, and even death to the nation.

They don't support their side, they simply hate the other side.

 

? if you looking for the good overall of the usa and not the NWO corporations running it all can you also see a trump Bernie ticket?


.

 

Very well said.

 

Isn't this 99% of the voters? Neither side is putting up a candidate for the People. All We ever get to vote for is the less stinky turd. They still are both turds, Dem or Repub.

Seeing how the majority of the Nation identifies as independent, don't you think a third party candidate would be a front runner? Sort of like a Trump or Sanders? Nope the real election is fraud with super delegates , electoral college, fixed primaries, dead voters, crooked polls and chads or straight up vote machine manipulation that there is no real election of the Peoples will. Just a limited menu prison buffet, you get what you get and like it.

 

Trumpsters think Bernie is a "Commie"...and Bernie folks KNOW that Trump panders to racists...

there will be no "Trump/Sanders ticket"...ever.

 

You can see the next civil war just on the horizon.

 

So is that a sort of Trojan Horse wish ?

 

Bernie s an old confused man and a socialist but Bernie would never run with Trumpf and trump would never run with Bernie. Even for a Socialist Bernie has some scruples.

 

How on earth did you forget the GOP's greatest embarrassment to date: George W. Bush.

But, in fact, if Trump were to somehow make it into office, he would make Bush look like Lincoln in comparison.

 

You complain about all the "hate," then say that Romney should have been more hateful toward Obama to get elected? No. That isn't why Romney lost. He lost because he did not connect with independents or crossover democrats. Trump is even more disconnected than Romney was.

We've got to get rid of this idea that the way to get elected is to trash and vilify the sitting president. It wouldn't have helped Romney and it won't work for Trump or Cruz.

 

Bernie s an old confused man and a socialist but Bernie would never run with Trumpf and trump would never run with Bernie. Even for a Socialist Bernie has some scruples and class. Trump has neither.

 

Trump with all his name calling and schoolyard bullying tactics have driven a lot of lifelong Republicans away from him and some out of the party completely. It is no secret that about a third of Republicans are very anti-Trump as it seems a lot of Trump supporters are very anti Republican Party. Call them the establishment if you will. A lot of Trump's positions would have gained him the name RINO if applied to other candidates who held the same views by Trump supporters. Now Trump is being called a populist, perhaps the name fits, maybe not.

The problem with the so called Republican establishment is they take one look at Trump and see them losing in November, not only the White House, but the Senate and possibly the House. So the idea of a Trump candidacy in November scares them to all get out. If the establishment saw him winning, you can bet he would be accepted with open arms.

The establishment see the public's favorable view of him at 29%, unfavorable at 65%. Among independents a group Trump or any GOP nominee will have to win around 55% of to overcome the Democrat's larger voting base, his favorables are 31%, unfavorable 61%. In fact even among Republicans Trump has only a 59% favorable view vs. 35% unfavorable. Being folks usually do not vote for someone they dislike, these figures scare the heck out of the establishment. Then they see Trump losing to Clinton by double digits, that too scares them. The so called establishment saw Trump jump all over our Vietnam POW's because they got caught, they were not good soldiers. The establishment saw Trump jump all over G.W.Bush, the last Republican to win the presidency. They watch Trump act anything but presidential, resort to name calling and threats, "I will run as an independent if you do not treat me nice." They saw Trump go back on his pledge to support the eventual nominee. They see a candidate who has received 37% of the total Republican vote acting like one who has received 60%.

With all the baggage Hillary Clinton has, whomever is the GOP nominee should be trouncing her. Not trailing by double digits. How can that happen? You make the majority of voters dislike you more than they do Hillary which is exactly what is happening.

Can any Republican candidate to include Trump unit the Republican Party after the convention? I think it is highly doubtful. Trump has made way too many enemies within the Republican Party approximately 20-30% of them won't support him in November. Someone else as a nominee, Trump supporters won't support the whomever it is. We seem to have a catch 22 situation here. Danged if Trump is and danged if Trump isn't the nominee.

It seems to me at this point in time the only thing that will stop Hillary from becoming president is an indictment, not any Republican candidate.

 

It's not hate, or trying to insult anyone. I'm very conservative, actually more of a libertarian, and the reason I would never vote for Trump is because he doesn't appear to have any principles he can stand by. He was for banning so-called 'assault weapons' but has apparently changed his mind. He sees nothing wrong with eminent domain to use government power to seize private property. He seems to be for a type of government provided health care. He said he would give unlawful orders to the military, and would replace those who didn't carry them out.

I frankly don't trust him. He's 70 years old, and most of these changes to his core principle beliefs only came in the last few years. I'd excuse the foolishness of youth, but Trump was older than I am when he experienced this apparent change of heart in his politics.

I know many people who are strong supporters of Trump. Some are friends, but I've discovered they really don't want to debate about why they support him, which is puzzling. Perhaps they are tired of people questioning their judgement. But I know only what's in my heart and mind, not theirs, so be it...

 

LOL Very funny post...

 

Trump is absolutely right when he said that Romney had the election handed to him on a silver platter.

The problem with Romney was not that he did not open his mouth more. The problem was Romney opening his mouth.

The guy was such a disingenuous clown.

 

Lol...More like a rope-a-dope wish.

 

I agree its been very insulting.

 

The GOP establishment has definitely outed themselves as not being on the side of the voters. That's for sure. They've disenfranchised so many people.

I voted for Cruz, but I'll be perfectly happy with Trump. I think it's a win/win for the voters. A showdown between two outsiders. Both of which represent the people and neither of which represents the establishment.

If the GOP doesn't fall in line with what the voters want, this will be the last year of the Republican party. It will dissolve after this election cycle and be replaced by a new party in 2020. You can't take the people's voice away and expect them to keep supporting you.

 

The 47% thing was Romney's unrecoverable moment. Beyond that, vote for and support whomever you want. I am a gun-hating southern socialist. I can't get out of bed without somebody saying something that I could take offense to if I so desired. I learned to be rather thick-skinned after awhile.

 

I look forward to it, the country needs a reset button

 

You ready to bleed and die?

 

No, but there could well be a Trump/Palin ticket. The people going after Trump have made the fatal mistake of thinking that people still care about them. Their ridiculous hatred merely tells people that Trump might be something completely different from what we've been saddled with in the past.

If Trump is smart, and I think he is, he'll pick Palin just to get them even angrier than before. The angrier and more hate-filled his opposition is, the better he comes across as the sanest guy in the room.

 

The narcissists are directing insults toward you? Lmfao. Oh, the irony.
