    Dodging the question again? The hits keep coming with your posts. I would beg you to keep posting your hilarity, but I know it's coming regardless.

    Hillary has a lot of warts. The Donald is a fighter and he knows what he's doing. The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Donald crushed her in an election.

    Laugh all you want.

    Trump might want to slow down on this woman thing.

    It's definitely not going to work, all the squirrel-eating nutjobs in New Hampshire know that Paris is in Maine.

    We'll know if Trump is real after the first few primaries. He doesn't have the ground game to come back if he shows poorly in the first 3 primaries in Iowa, NH, SC, etc. He's kind of a classic outsider candidate in that he needs to get on a roll early and then blitz through the first quarter of the schedule. If he loses to Cruz in Iowa, wins New Hampshire and then loses narrowly to Rubio in SC due to the GOP establishment throwing the kitchen sink at him it will be hard to maintain his top spot. He'll fade after that.

    I'm still pretty sure this is going to come down to a split race, with more candidates staying in than normal and a convention that is basically a back room landslide.

    I continue to disagree. I think if Obama's victory taught us anything its that the number of people that show up for a candidate's rallies do matter. Trump is bringing in tens of thousands all the time while other GOP Candidates are speaking in front nobody.

    The polls weren't strongly in Obama's favor but the crowds were and he rode those crowds to the nomination and presidency. With Trump the polls AND the crowds are strongly in his favor its just the political "experts" that aren't. How long will they say he's going to fall off a cliff when he isn't? I think he will win the nomination and I am even preparing myself for a Trump presidency

    The difference between Obama and Trump is that the Democratic establishment had no issues with Obama at all. They'd promoted him heavily in 2004 and 2006 and the only questions they had in 2007 and 2008 was whether he'd moved too fast, ahead of his best chance at electability. The Clintons were pissed that he was moving forward so quickly, since they had him in mind as a second-term Hillary VP, but nobody else in the Democratic establishment saw Obama as a huge threat.

    Trump is like Hitler to the GOP establishment. If he gets elected all bets are off the table and their influence could dry up as quickly as von Hindenburg's did after Hitler began his rise to power. Trump will bring in a completely new crowd at the Presidential level and his choices would not be the establishment's choices.

    The Hitler comparison is not a weak one BTW. We're in times of real economic stress for most Americans and we have been since the housing market went blooey in 2006 and 2007. Lots of middle-aged retirees around now, made worthless by outsourcing and the new economy. Lots of young people who think their best employment opportunity is going to be Mickey D's and working in landscaping for some guy they feel they should be bossing around instead if everything was "the way it should be." Trump of course is scapegoating all Muslims to make a point about a few of them. He's talking about creating a Gestapo to round up and deport illegal aliens.

    Think about it.
