Trump takes control of Republican race

Trump acknowledged that he probably needs to act more presidential. The real estate mogul told “Fox News Sunday,” ‘‘I think I’ll be very presidential at the appropriate time. Right now, I’m fighting for my life.”

Isn't this really just another lie? Trump is an embarrassing crude unstable narcissist. Trump not fighting for his life and the needs to act more presidential line is pure nonsense. Trump acting Presidential is like a hog using a wrist watch.

I want to know when either Hillary or Bernie is going to take control of the Democratic race.

Serrano: I want to know when either Hillary or Bernie is going to take control of the Democratic race.

Check back March 2, the day after Super Tuesday 2016.

My guess is that Hillary learned a lot from 2008 and is going to lock things down. Bernie lacks experience in that respect.

You know if Hillary were to win the DNC nomination, and the Republicans had put up a viable candidate, voting for the GOP would have been a definite consideration, due to distrust of Hillary and the fact that she appears to be in the pockets of big interests.

But as it stands now, if she wins, she probably becomes the president, as the GOP has only put together a clown show. No one with anything nearing a valid platform.

Just as you see Trump, a lot of people see Hillary.

It may boil down to how many people hold their noses and vote Red or Blue just to vote.

An aside, I thought the thumbnail of Ted Cruz above was of Patrick Buchanan, for a moment.

Anyone that doesn't think he is capable of acting presidential needs to watch more of these archived clips of DJT in his prime.

"I think I’ll be very presidential at the appropriate time."

"But right now I have to appeal to the bigoted know nothing Republican base."

Anyone that doesn't think he is capable of acting presidential needs to watch more of these archived clips of DJT in his prime.

And now he's past his prime. Maybe he's becoming senile, because nothing he has done since he announced his candidacy has shown he would be a good leader.

Argue with success all you want but whatever Trump is doing it seems to be working, he is proving more leadership and broadening the base of the party more than the GOP has seen in a very long time.

Fifty years of abetting racism, of appealing to the worst elements in our society, of disdaining the unfortunate, minorities in general, blacks in particular, and lately, immigrants. Fifty years of telling voters that the Republican Party offered a home for the bigots among them. And, now, those voters have their avatar, a man who tells them that he isn't going to just pay lip service to their passions and hatreds, but is going to implement them as policy.

Donald J. Trump, a proven track record . . .

"More than 5,000 people lost their jobs — dealers, security guards, waitresses, maids, bartenders. When Trump Plaza closes later this month, the total will rise to about 6,000 unemployed casino workers."

"Donald Trump, of course, thinks people should also mention Donald Trump — and his wise move of “getting out” of Atlantic City “before its demise.” Perhaps we should examine Trump’s history in Atlantic City."

Look out America, you're next in line for Trump's tuning up. Trump wants everyone to cheer him on, even when six thousand lose their jobs. Trump's got a funny sense of success America can ill-afford.

he is proving more leadership and broadening the base of the party more than the GOP has seen in a very long time.

Kind of. I wouldn't say he has broadened the base, rather just pulled his base partly from the GOP, and partly from independents and the DNC. But in the process, he has alienated a lot of the GOP, and a lot of his supporters are not interested in the rest of the GOP at all. So I would say he has shifted the base, rather than broadened it.

There is no doubt that he has a good strategy - he speaks to people's fear, and drives them through fear. That works really well with weak people who choose their path in life based on their fears, and there are a lot of those people out there. Unfortunately, it's the pessimistic method of governing, and will never achieve hope, or raise the bar, it only achieves fear, and lowering the bar.

I'm still optimistic that there are enough people left in America that have not let the terrorists win, and don't subscribe to a fear-based approach to government, that Trump will not become president. But you can never underestimate the stupidity of the American people as a group, so I may very well be proven wrong, and we'll see a President Trump come next January.

Hillary first aligned with Obama and after Iowa she has taken that "Bernie's policies won't work" stance and makes the same statements just with more subtlety.

To sumise....I will do what he did (Obama) and now it's I will do what he said (Sanders).

With Trump, he is a dirty fighter and he's no more racist than anyone of us. Regarding Atlantic city....Trump had no control. The city was mismanaged and now it's nearly a dead town. Trump only sold earlier than the others. Better business sense if you ask me.

Donald J. Trump, a proven track record . . .

"Trump then opened the Trump Taj Mahal in 1991, his third Atlantic City casino. But then the bankruptcies started. Heavily in debt, the Trump Taj Mahal filed for bankruptcy protection in 1991. A financial restructuring gave bond holders 49 percent of the casino. Trump Plaza and Trump's Castle (later the Trump Marina) filed for bankruptcy protection in 1992."

Now that "Conservative" has been removed from the GOP ShiaTea, what's left?

Crazy.

Trump knows the country is in revolt against Washington, D.C., and he plays to that with his program. It is much more than building a wall much of what he says is positive and optimistic, focused on growth. leadership. clarity even to the point of throwing up bleeding heart liberal strawmen like not allowing anyone to die in the street for lack of healthcare.

With Trump, he is a dirty fighter and he's no more racist than anyone of us.

Well, I'm glad you can admit it about yourself, but please don't group the rest of us in with that.

It is much more than building a wall much of what he says is positive and optimistic, focused on growth.

Some specific examples please.

"allowing anyone to die in the street for lack of healthcare." - comments

That's the Republican healthcare plan.

No, I don't stranger! Find one racist post!!! Don't even make the childish claim that I am not for Obama therefor I am a racist. That's gotten old and no substance to the blasphemous claim.

The interview today, for one, hit on some solid points that are traditionally contrary to Republican orthodoxy.

http://www.youngcons.com/trump-part-of-the-problem-with-republicans-is-they-dont-support-government-run-healthcare/

If Mrs. Bill Clinton gets the DNC nomination, look for the GOP candidate to move into the White House next January. The only people in this country who supports her are those in the LSM and folks who reside in the perpetual victimhood zip code. Sure, we have plenty of them here, but they are not a big enough voting bloc to help her win the general election. . . .

Donald J. Trump, a proven track record . . .

"Two past Trump bankruptcy reorganizations have failed largely because they did not eliminate enough debt to make the company competitive in the cutthroat Atlantic City market," USA Today reported."

Trump has racked up failure after failure. Now, after bankrupting the "Trump" brand with bigotry, religious prejudice and racial prejudice, Trump expects Americans to hand him the keys to the White House? Will taxpayers cover the naming rights and rebranding as "The Trump White House"? Trump probably wouldn't want an ordinary White House.

Name calling Trump racist, sexist, religious prejudice, and radicle prejudice is not exactly true. He is riling up interest and free press. I don't like his method yet it seems to work thus far. I do respect Bernie for not playing a similar game. He could sink Clinton should he choose to do so yet he refrains.

And the Trump camp shouldn't put all their eggs in the basket just yet. Jeb, dropped Carson and Kasich would be next. Who will gain those votes? The Dems have just the 2 candidates and Hillary seems to be the chosen one.

No, I don't stranger! Find one racist post!!! Don't even make the childish claim that I am not for Obama therefor I am a racist. That's gotten old and no substance to the blasphemous claim.

You said Trump is no more racist than you - and he's pretty racist. So it wasn't myself making the claim this time, it was you. I was just applauding you for admitting it.

The interview today, for one, hit on some solid points that are traditionally contrary to Republican orthodoxy.

Yes, but I'm looking for things where he is optimistic, not where he runs contrary to the GOP (although for the most part, anything that runs contrary to the GOP will be optimistic). Although I do agree with you that his stance on healthcare does sound optimistic.

Any other examples?

"Name calling Trump racist, sexist, religious prejudice, and radicle prejudice is not exactly true." - comments

Neither is much of what this fraud says and he has the gall to call Pope Francis a disgrace?

Trump has ruined not only his commercial brand, but the world sees him as some kind of deranged clown.

Some impression he's created in a few monthes, making America Great Again? Not by his example.

Interesting article here from a conservative: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/09/opinion/i-miss-barack-obama.html

The relevance to this article is exactly what I was saying about Trump motivating through fear. From the article:

To hear Sanders, Trump, Cruz and Ben Carson campaign is to wallow in the pornography of pessimism, to conclude that this country is on the verge of complete collapse. That’s simply not true. We have problems, but they are less serious than those faced by just about any other nation on earth. People are motivated to make wise choices more by hope and opportunity than by fear, cynicism, hatred and despair.

Stranger....your a class act. Just in a less mature class than myself. Re-read the post " any of us" refers to JT posters. Obviously you process what you want to believe and not the facts.

The pope response was just as wrong as the popes comments. The pope has no business commenting puplically on politics. Especially when he knows within the Vatican walls he is secluded from the general public.

Should we all tear down walls? No more borders? Is this a "progressive" point of view? This certainly would change the expats standing in Japan if so.

I do respect Bernie for not playing a similar game. He could sink Clinton should he choose to do so yet he refrains.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿ Because Sanders is reaping the benefit of Trump criticizing Clinton without having to dirty himself, at least so far.

@MarkG Please don't pretend to speak for all of us. I'm not as racist as Trump. You said Trump is as racist as "any of us". 'Us' by definitions includes you. 'Them' would not. So you did in fact state that you are as racist as Trump. Got that?

Re-read the post " any of us" refers to JT posters.

And 'us' includes the speaker - you.

And also, as I said, please don't group me in with that group.

Exactly.

The pope has no business commenting puplically on politics.

His comment was that Trump is un-christian. Hardly a comment on politics.

MarkG - none of what you have written in your back and forth with Stranger makes any sense. Clearly the word "us" when used by you includes you, so his response is completely reasonable.

No one can Stump the Trump, right Jeb?

Some re-branding success for Trump!

From business suits and bed sets to torture and prejudice.

GO TRUMP! GO TORTURE!! Yeah! Torture!

No wonder the GOP ShiaTea LOVES the Trump!

The GOP's dumping the elephant. It's been said they're going with a car battery and a brown fellow strapped to a chair. But tasteful, something that inspires pride in American torture.

Trump sure read the revolution right. The Torture Generation.

I kind of "feel for Bern" as he is coming to grips with the reality that Wasserman-Shultz let slip with his own admission , “at the end of the day ... you need delegates.”

The DNC has got the fix in, and so Bern himself is now "feeling the Burn."

The RNC, however, seems to have been marginalized.

Vote neither.

Wow, I've been educated. Us includes me, who would have guessed! What I still don't fully understand is the us means just me. I leaned in school "us" is plural. Which includes you also.

Wow, I've been educated. Us includes me, who would have guessed! What I still don't fully understand is the us means just me. I leaned in school "us" is plural. Which includes you also.

Exactly. And your comment was that "Trump is no more racist than anyone [sic] of us", to which I say Trump is most definitely more racist than me. So I asked you to please not group me in with you, but stated that I was glad that you could admit that you are as racist or more so than Trump (since he is no more racist than you).

Orange is the new black....

"It may boil down to how many people hold their noses and vote Red or Blue just to vote."

If that be the case, get ready for President Clinton or President Sanders.

"An aside, I thought the thumbnail of Ted Cruz above was of Patrick Buchanan, for a moment."

Hey, whatever happened to that guy? And how come he's not running? Oh wait, that's right, he screwed up with the Republican Party by running on the Reform Party ticket in 2000, lol.

"The pope response was just as wrong as the popes comments. The pope has no business commenting puplically on politics"

As we know, Republicans are famously valiant defenders of the wall between religion and politics.

Didn't one guy talk about his God influencing his foreign policy? Is that more acceptable than someone criticising an idea as unchristian?

@MarkG if you had said that Trump is as racist as some people / many people you'd have been right, nobody would argue with that. However that doesn't make being racist right does it? You can afford to be racist, you're not running for President of the most powerful nation on earth, he is. If the public want to give the Washington establishment a black eye more the power to them, but choosing someone even more amoral than the people they are trying to spite is just plain idiocy.

Strangerland: You know if Hillary were to win the DNC nomination, and the Republicans had put up a viable candidate, voting for the GOP would have been a definite consideration, due to distrust of Hillary and the fact that she appears to be in the pockets of big interests.

Yep. I like options, and I have no problem supporting Republicans when they present a good idea or good candidate. I support both of my senators here in Arizona and they are both Republicans. But I don't like Trump and the religious positions of Rubio and Cruz scare me. I did like McCain and I even liked Romney early on, before he realized that he'd need to shift to the far right to win the nomination.

On the other hand, you have GOP members who are so caught up in "liberals are destroying us and we might fight against anything they do, ever, even if it makes sense and helps the country" frame of mind. About 90% of their "positions" are fueled by empty rhetoric. That's why it's so hard to talk to them about individual issues since they really don't know much about them other than "Obamacare will end America." But ask them specifics, and they usually don't have the tools to respond except for more empty rhetoric.

But Trump and Hillary are pretty much the same age. So I guess both are senile and we already know that Sanders HAS to be, listening to him talk constantly about socialist income redistribution.

Trump is an embarrassing crude unstable narcissist.

So are Hillary and Obama, but at least Trump isn't afraid to show you the middle finger and he'll do it right in your face.

Trump not fighting for his life and the needs to act more presidential line is pure nonsense.

But Hillary looks presidential? You libs seem to always forget, Hillary is NOT Bill!

Trump acting Presidential is like a hog using a wrist watch.

Yes, yes, he'll be very willing to do that and much worse. Just what a President needs eh. That's because like most of his party he proclaims to love America but actually hates the various peoples that live there. Another masterclass in whatabouism from Bass.

Proclaim, as opposed to...what's the word libs use: unify? But what they do is far from it, they feed off racism and constant division, if you don't tow the progressive line. The party of tolerance? Yeah, ok.....

but actually hates the various peoples that live there.

You mean how Dems love and relish in so called, liberal diversity as long as it doesn't involve Whites, Christians, libertarians and anything that is a stone block to progressives. So you guys are selectively diverse. Wow, just wow!

Another masterclass in whatabouism from Bass.

Correction, my masterclass would be in analyzing "liberal Progressive analogy BS."

Is belief in income redistribution from the majority to the already rich the sign of a mind which is compos mentis?

Reagan was a man whose declining mental abilities were a real problem.

@Bass I notice that you have now completely given up pretending that Trump is nothing short of a monster! Do you have any proof or evidence of how 'Libs', 'Dems' or any other group that I'm not a part of "feed off racism", or are "selectively diverse"?

How much time do you have? We can start off with Obama's presidency over the last 7 years.

bass4funk FEB. 22, 2016 - 04:06PM JST But he was a damn good president.

Maybe for the wealthy. But the debt crisis can be traced back primarily to Reagan, with fanciful notions about restoring America’s economic vitality through massive tax cuts for the wealthy, a strategy of “trickle-down" effect. Reagan’s tax cuts brought a rapid ballooning of the federal debt. When he departed in 1989, the debt had jumped a three-fold increase. He was a failure in handling of national debt.

Strangerland: I think that covers pretty much every post that Bass has ever made on this site.

But what about Hillary's posts?

CHECK MATE! I'm so smart!

The Supreme Court nomination thing was a bit of an odd conversation with the Right on JT. They literally thought that "worst president ever" was some kind of legal term that bans Obama from nominating the next justice. It's shocking just how much they have replaced policy knowledge with platitudes, and it's shocking that most of them here refuse to even acknowledge the current condition of their own party.

They literally thought that "worst president ever" was some kind of legal term that bans Obama from nominating the next justice.

And yet, you try to mention that the current congress should not make any new laws regarding Apple until after the election, and the act like it's blasphemy.

Rubio called it the “alternative-to-Donald-Trump vote,” and predicted it would coalesce around him.

Assuming he can get mega-buck backing from Adelson and the Kochs to combat Trump's mega-bucks.

I'm so smart!

Maybe, but you're not Zelig-like (Woody Allen), someone who's worked for the Washington Post and NBC, who's been on assignment in Iraq, who's been a CEO of a VERY large company, who has half his family and half his neighbourhood involved in the military or police (thereby having greater access to inside info), and you don't use a meme-generator to respond to other posters with oblique statements and empty rhetoric.

My biggest fear is the day Trump does that to Putin and then Putin twists Trump's finger and stuffs into somewhere unmentionable.

And Trump, the good old playground bully, brave till the moment he gets a hiding, does something really really stupid, then we have nukes flying back and forth.

The human race is going to go back to the age when life was short, nasty and brutish, if this madman comes anywhere near getting elected.

That TV network owned by the billionaire Australian media mogul supports Trump. Maybe he'll hold his Presidential Inaugural Ball in Canberra next January as a way of showing his appreciation.

Trump wins not because he is super candidate,but his Republican competitors are nameless,and worthless,thats why he is full of himself,fully satisfied its not a question he will be the president.I dont bother following republican nomination,just interested to follow Democratic nomination,it worth.Both of Hillary and Sanders are serious,no circus,no political fire works.Both of them deserve to be president.

"but at least Trump isn't afraid to show you the middle finger and he'll do it right in your face."

How exactly is Putin going to do that after Trump rips off both of his thumbs? LOL

This isn't a race, it's a war.

The relentless, years-long election war is perverse. What kind of simple-minded people lap up the platitudes and empty rhetoric for years on end? It's bizarre and sad.

Cripes, Cruz got both Trumped and Rubioed! Yet he says "We made history," lol.

Maybe for the wealthy. But the debt crisis can be traced back primarily to Reagan,

But he left with a surplus, but if you really want to go back to the woes of the country, how about starting with the grandfather of the wretched entitlement culture, LBJ.

with fanciful notions about restoring America’s economic vitality through massive tax cuts for the wealthy,

That created jobs and a strong middle class and a society that was a lot less lazy and less dependent on big government. Fast forward now where we have 47 million people on food stamps over the last 7 years, No thanks to our food stamp president.

a strategy of “trickle-down" effect. Reagan’s tax cuts brought a rapid ballooning of the federal debt. When he departed in 1989, the debt had jumped a three-fold increase. He was a failure in handling of national debt.

Reagan’s mix of across-the-board tax cuts, deregulation, and domestic spending restraint helped fuel an economic boom that lasted two decades. Reagan inherited a misery index (the sum of the inflation and unemployment rates) of 19.99%, and when he left office it had dropped to 9.72%. President Obama take note: Under Reaganomics, 16 million new jobs were created. Oh, and there's confronting and helping to bring and end to Communism, building a strong military, was able to work across the aisles with both parties and he did it very well. I can go on.....

Ahhh, yes, to the liberals and heir entitlement wanting to suck on the teat government nipple. I keep forgetting, there wasn't enough for you guys to spoon during those years.

It's shocking just how much they have replaced policy knowledge with platitudes, and it's shocking that most of them here refuse to even acknowledge the current condition of their own party.

I don't think so, we do. We know that's it's a mess and we do know on the Dems side, you guys don't want to admit, your party is slowly fragmenting at the seams as well, especially not know the fate of one HRC. As for Obama, I do think he should nominate a replacement Justice, but at the same time, congress should take their sweet time, at least they won't be seen as obstructionists, that would be better, draw it out, take your time. It was Ok for the Democrats to do it to Bush, Clarence Thomas, Robert Bork, so it's ok to do it to Obama, No difference, right? Or....do you libs wanna try and spin that one? Oh, please do.

Maybe, but you're not Zelig-like (Woody Allen), someone who's worked for the Washington Post and NBC, who's been on assignment in Iraq, who's been a CEO of a VERY large company, who has half his family and half his neighbourhood involved in the military or police (thereby having greater access to inside info), and you don't use a meme-generator to respond to other posters with oblique statements and empty rhetoric.

Trump takes control of Republican race

If Trump were not despised by the Republican establishment, the Republican primary would be over. The Party elders and financial backer will do anything to stop Trump and now that it seems to have a candidate in Marco Rubio.

Seems to, because Rubio has yet come in first. But that is all they got, and now the the war will really begins.

We will know a lot more on March 2, the day after seven states in the South, including Texas, vote.

Now you truly understand how we Conservatives feel opposite about Hillary. Welcome to our world.

@bass I can go on.....

As someone who claims to have been a journalist, you know that when you copy and paste from a source like Human Events you need to acknowledge you did that.

Can't stump the Trump:

----) Look what happened to anti-Trump J.E.B Bush. ---) Who is next.....

Trump has his fans and supporters,they match each other,thats understandable,Trump is a phenomena reflects disorder among certain category of people who still believes he is the best one who will bring them their lost rights.Actually they need badly to restore their minds first.You can agree or disagree with Hillary or Sanders,but both are real candidates,not a clown in a circus or tragic comedy play(black comedy).Let Trump entertain us by his show till we make up our mind which is better for the white house Hillary or Sanders.

Rumor is that top of campaign will be fired. Ciriz, Rubio.

I have no problem with people on the right being against both Dem candidates. BUT, if my major leading candidate was supported whole heartedly by white supremecists and far right christians, many of whom want to change the separation of church and state in many instances, I would not vote for the lesser of evils. I would not vote for that member period. I would be more than willing to abandon my party and vote my conscious with an independent person who, even if they don't win, would not leave me disgusted with myself. Too many GOPers are willing to take the "bad" with the good that they feel Trump represents. But If I voted for someone who disgusted me I would feel for the next 4 years like a piece of S&&t. Like a shower could not wash me.

Sanders wants a more Euro feel type of socialism with the big corps footing some of the bill as costs of doing business. You may not agree with his numbers and the money adding up but he is a humanist in philosophy and though I don't know if I can whole heartedly support him, I would not feel like a piece of crap for supporting him. I hear all over FB to support trump to help the white race in America from dying out and the barbarians are at the gate. Well at the rate of growth of most non white races there is no President that can change the fact that America will be less white in the future but is that what life is all about? With kids all getting a great education and the lower class ranks shrinking, in most places more affluence across the board (along with education) usually means less petty crimes and more happy people. I hardly ever see happy people looking to attack other races.

I would love to see 30-40 million people abandon either major party and support a real outsider by voting their true feelings instead of playing the "your vote for this one actually helps that one" game we play every 4 years. Then the majors would really wake up and the country would really have change.

"your vote for this one actually helps that one"

But that's the beauty of it. Vote=Power. This is so god-damm true . .. that Al Gore went crying EVERYWHERE asking for that notorious "recount."

Heh. . . he even lost in his home state. The democrats are such sore losers. But unlike some posters here in these threads (the Dems should never be destroyed) what other formidable adversary is there in the US?

Cruz and Rubio does not know Secret Serv9ce is not FBI.

the debt crisis can be traced back primarily to Reagan,

But he left with a surplus,....

none of president reagan's budget years ended with a surplus
