Is Trump Unstoppable?

With his victory in Nevada and with Super Tuesday looming, will the victories for Donald Trump keep piling up? Republicans it seems, as with most Americans - right or left - are looking to political outsiders to lead our country. Yes I know, Bernie Sanders is an archaic, political muppet but being a socialist and promising the moon is something new to a lot of people as opposed to the same, tired drivel that Hillary is spewing.

Trump is on a roll as he has tapped into a brewing backlash against political establishment. People are tired of the Obamas, the Clintons, the Bidens, etc. who have been crowned by the political elite for so long. The people are rising and saying "no more". The people are fed up with leaders who won't lead.

Will it be enough to carry Trump to the nomination? I'm not sure, but this political season is shaping up to be one of the most exciting I've ever seen.

No, but he might as well be. It is going to take a coordinated effort by the other candidates to stop him and that will not happen

 

Super Tuesday will probably come down to a battle between Trump and Rubio with Trump winning. More than likely, Cruz is out. With this much momentum behind Trump, there may be no stopping him. Super Tuesday may hold some surprises, though. We shall see...

 

I figure he'll win the nomination.


After all there are 11 million illegal immigrants that are waiting to build a wall to keep themselves out once they are deported.

They'll do it for free of course because there's no way in hell the Mexican government is going to foot the bill.


That combined with delusional people that have no clue how it really works (Government) buy into his crap hook, line and sinker.


Rubio might have a chance but I feel Cruz is too delusional to drop out and he'll need that.

 

You may be right and you sound convinced.

More than likely the wall will be built by American contractors who aren't able to hire illegal workers.

If the Mexicans aren't going to build the wall, the point of "doing it for free" is moot. The payment for the wall will come from trade incentives with our wonderful neighbors south of the border, Mexico. If Mexico wishes to continue to do business with us, they will gladly accept the trade incentives in the form of payment for the wall. It's a win/win.

Somehow, I seriously doubt that the lemmings who voted for Obama in 2008 and 2012 (and who will vote for Hillary in 2016) were voting for anything other than the cult of personality and, in actuality, had as much knowledge about how government works as they have knowledge about how nuclear fission works. Low information voters roam both sides of the street, but seem to gather more on the left-hand side.

Cruz may actually stay in the race after Super Tuesday depending on how things shape up. My guess is that it will come down to Trump and Rubio. I have a feeling that Cruz will soon be out.

 

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahhahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahhahahahahaahahhaahahahahahahhaahahahahahhahaahahahahahahahahahhahahaahahahahahhaahhahahaahahahahhahahahahahaahahahhahaahahahahahhaahahahhaahahahahahhaahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahhahaahahhaahhaaha.............

 

Trump does love the "poorly educated"

 

I wonder why Hillary hates the poorly educated!

 

Only a delusional commie hack would accuse Ted Cruz of being delusional.

 

Donald Trump is unstoppable, but should we really consider this good for America? After all, Donald Trump has repeatedly said he is flexible, meaning, he is willing to compromise. Do we really want just another compromising bureaucrat? I don't! This is why Ted Cruz is really the best, and perhaps the only presidential candidate worthy of that job.

 

Hey, commie Teddy the troll, where is your commie arm band? I know you walk around in your home wearing your Joseph Stalin out fit.

 

With GOP nomination looming, Trump is slated to take witness stand in fraud trial

Here’s a part of the political calendar that nobody in the Republican Party seems to have noticed: This spring, just as the GOP nomination battle enters its final phase, frontrunner Donald Trump could be forced to take time out for some unwanted personal business: He’s due to take the witness stand in a federal courtroom in San Diego, where he is being accused of running a financial fraud.

In court filings last Friday, lawyers for both sides in a long-running civil lawsuit over the now defunct Trump University named Trump on their witness lists. That makes it all but certain that the reality-show star and international businessman will be forced to be grilled under oath over allegations in the lawsuit that he engaged in deceptive trade practices and scammed thousands of students who enrolled in his “university” courses in response to promises he would make them rich in the real estate market.

Although the case has been winding its way through the courts for the past five years — and Trump has denied all wrongdoing — the final pretrial conference is now slated for May 6, according to the latest pleadings in the case. No trial date has been set, but the judge has indicated his interest in moving the case forward, the pleadings show.

“This is pretty amazing,” said Scott Reed, a veteran Republican Party consultant, about Trump’s upcoming due date in federal court. “Usually, you clean this stuff up before you run for president.”

Trump’s new lead lawyer in the case, Daniel Petrocelli, best known for representing one of the slain murder victims in a civil suit against O.J. Simpson, did not respond to emailed questions about Trump’s upcoming testimony, including how long he expects his client to be on the witness stand.

As noted by Yahoo News last week, the Trump University case has already intruded on Trump’s political schedule. On Dec. 10, 2015, during a day he was making international headlines over his pledge to ban Muslim immigrants from the United States, Trump managed to escape any press attention and give a closed-door pretrial deposition in the case, according to court filings reviewed by Yahoo News. Exactly what he said in the deposition remains under seal, but lawyers for Tarla Makaeff, a California yoga instructor who is the lead plaintiff in the case, cited portions of his testimony (blacked out in her pleadings) to support their contention that Trump has threatened to ruin her financially for bringing the lawsuit and that she needs protection from his “retaliation.”

But the upcoming civil trial could be a much bigger burden on Trump’s time. If it takes place in May, that would put it in the middle of the final phase of the GOP primary schedule: Nebraska and West Virginia vote on May 10, Oregon on May 17, and Washington state on May 24. Then on June 7, the biggest prize of all: the California primary (with 172 delegates at stake). New Jersey, Montana, New Mexico and South Dakota vote the same day.





Trump University and the "litigation circus"
Yahoo News Live looks has an investigation of Donald Trump's one time Trump University. Yahoo News Global Anchor Katie Couric speaks to Yahoo's Chief Investigative Correspondent Michael Isikoff about his look at the lawsuits against and started by Mr. Trump and how a Trump presidency could turn the White House in to a "litigation circus.

While it is unclear how long the trial over Trump University will take, both sides have submitted lengthy witness lists: 72 individuals have been identified as prospective witnesses by the two sides. The case shows little sign of being settled. Trump just last December hired Petrocelli, a master litigator, and he recently identified 965 trial exhibits he expects to use at trial, including PowerPoint presentations, course curriculums, emails, letters, videos and other material. Picking jurors who have neutral views on Trump could present another time-consuming hurdle.

The core case revolves around the operations of a school Trump launched in 2005 with a promotional You Tube video, as well as ads that proclaimed, “I can turn anyone into a successful real estate investor, including you,” “Are YOU My Next Apprentice?” and “Learn from my handpicked experts how you can profit from the largest real estate liquidation in history.” The plaintiffs, former students at Trump University, allege they were misled into maxing out their credit cards and paying up to $60,000 in fees for seminars in hotel ballrooms and “mentoring” by Trump’s “hand-picked” real estate experts. The lawsuit against the school, which is no longer in business, alleges the seminars turned into little more than an “infomercial” and the Trump mentors offered “no practical advice” and “mostly disappeared.” New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a separate suit in 2013 alleging fraud on the part of the “university,” which was never an accredited institution and awarded no degrees.

 

You poor SOB's! You are ALL screwed.

 

Trump win. Trump gonna smash. Smash Trump, smash!

...the republican party deserves it.

 

I would love to hear your reasoning for coming to this conclusion

What is a Trump Republican? GOP front-runner building diverse coalition



February 24, 2016

Coming off three straight primary and caucus victories, Donald Trump's ability to attract a variety of voters from across the Republican Party is sparking talk about whether he’s building a new kind of Republican coalition -- and, a new brand of Republican -- and whether GOP congressional candidates can ride the wave.

Trump, in racking up convincing wins in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada, is dominating in almost every voter demographic, according to Fox News exit and entrance polls.

The New York billionaire businessman won among women, among evangelicals, among self-described conservatives – and even among the few Hispanics who voted in Nevada.

“We won with evangelicals, we won with young, we won with old, we won with highly educated, we won with poorly educated,” Trump said in Las Vegas after his win Tuesday night in Nevada.

So, what is a "Trump Republican?"

In terms of the political establishment, Trump's base is conflicting and a far cry from the conservative archetype, hailing from all reaches of the party -- even drawing in Libertarian and some Democratic support. He’s pro-business, he’s anti-illegal immigration, he’s pro-military. But he also favors eminent domain and used to be pro-choice – and he’s arguably tougher than Democrats on the George W. Bush administration.

Perhaps most importantly, though, one label a "Trump Republican" can claim is that of outsider – and that may be the most unifying factor of all. South Carolina and Nevada exit/entrance polls showed Trump outright dominating among voters who want the next president to be from outside the “establishment” and among voters “angry” with the federal government.

If there’s a Trump Republican coalition being formed, that dissatisfaction is playing a galvanizing role, Republican strategist Rob Burgess said.

Policy issues likely are not the “driving force” behind the phenomenon, Burgess said. Rather, those supporters are “disillusioned with the current Washington political class, which is driving them to seek out an alternative candidate.”

Burgess also doubts whether Trump’s political coattails will be long enough for many down-ticket GOP candidates to ride. “The majority of candidates will not see a boost from a Trump candidacy,” he said.

Chrys Kefalas, a Republican and first-time congressional candidate running for the open Senate seat in Maryland, told FoxNews.com that voters indeed “are not looking for a politician” this year.

He’s not yet ready to hitch his horse to the Trump wagon, but gave the billionaire credit for uniting voters.

“He’s embracing his business leadership,” Kefalas told FoxNews.com. “He’s turning out working-class voters. That’s how you run a Republican primary.”

Whether candidates like Kefalas ultimately could benefit from a coalition of sick-of-Washington Trump Republicans, though, is an open question. If Trump is the nominee, he remains such a controversial figure that some doubt whether the GOP front-runner has any real coattails.

Robert Jackson, a Florida State University political science professor, thinks nobody in the 2016 race, especially the Republicans, will have strong enough coattails for others “to reap the benefits from their candidacy”

He also argued that Trump winning the nomination would be so “personality based” that any benefit probably wouldn’t “translate down to those lower-level races” -- raising the question of whether a "Trump Republican" is simply ... Trump.

Few if any Republican congressional candidates are trying to mimic his signature anti-establishment and irreverent campaign style that attacks -- even openly denigrates -- rivals while touting huge but as-yet undefined promises, not the least of which is a Mexico-financed border wall.

A GOP member of Congress, who is familiar with the 2016 congressional field, recently told Fox News he’s yet to see an emerging Trump-style Republican in the House and Senate races.

Trump’s South Carolina victory, where he won roughly 32 percent of the vote, follows a first-place finish in the New Hampshire primary and second-place in the Iowa GOP caucuses. And his Nevada vote percentages were better than those of Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, combined.

The field of rivals, however, isn't ready to yield. Until Nevada, Trump in any of the first three contests had yet to win more than roughly 30 percent of the vote, even as the GOP field has winnowed from 17 to five candidates, fueling the argument that his support has reached a ceiling.

On Sunday, Cruz, who won in Iowa, appeared to zero in on those percentages and argued that only a conservative can win the primary, then the general election.

“Seventy percent of Republicans don't believe Donald Trump is the right candidate to go head-to-head with Hillary Clinton and beat her in November,” he told ABC. “The only way to beat Trump is with a strong, proven, constitutional conservative.”

If Trump is building a new Republican coalition – but one that doesn’t translate to success for congressional candidates – it would mark a departure from the last major Republican movement candidate, Ronald Reagan.

In the 1980 race between Reagan and Jimmy Carter, the California governor played a vital role in helping fellow Republicans win 34 House seats and 12 Senate seats. Some would argue Republicans have been riding Reagan’s coattails ever since.

Several candidates in the 2016 race still are vying for those voters.

“What we are seeing is the old Reagan coalition coming together,” Cruz told a NBC-TV affiliate in South Carolina. “We won conservatives … We also won evangelicals and we won Reagan Democrats, and we also won young people.”

Trump suggested that his coalition would draw on Reagan’s and then some.

“We're going to bring over a lot of Democrats,” Trump told CNN. “We're going to bring over a lot of independents. We're talking about the Reagan Democrats. We're going to bring over tremendous numbers. We're going to bring over youth.”

He has cornered the market on racists, KKK members, old white poorly educated folks, white supremacists, white trash, trailer trash, bigots, Dominionism supporters, Right-wing terrorists, all while alienating Hispanics, African Americans, Women, Muslim Americans, Catholics, and disabled people. Quite the multitasking fellow Trump is. You guys are boned!

 

Heheheh... Oh, Moron Joe... you make me laugh out loud.
