The best description I've seen is that Trump doesn't want to be president but he does want to win the election. He's so insecure and narcissistic that he craves the attention but he has no desire to do the job.

 

I came across this on Twitter and knew I had to post this somewhere!

That's a very apt description.

Trump has reversed himself on his insane abortion comments and, in a preview of what he will flip-flop on tomorrow, now says he will not rule out using nuclear weapons in Europe.

I just can't understand how anyone takes this SOB seriously.  I may not like Cruz or Rubio, but at least I could see how some people might agree with them, but Trump is just so off the wall.  I hate to sound like an elitist, but I feel like he's exposing the idiocy in our country. I never would have believed that so many people could be so g-damn stupid.

 

 It really gets my goat when people blame the poor for Trump's rise. I'm seeing that more and more on Facebook. It's not only the poor and uneducated who fall for authoritarianism. The very source of this debacle is a billionaire with an elite education, but let's blame the "trailer trash".

The true source I believe is the republican party when they declared war on education and portrayed anyone with teeth and shoes as Northeast elitist snobs.   Then you get "Freedom Fries", a fast food for idiots if ever there was one, and then you get Sarah Palin, Joe The Plumber, Michelle Bachmann, that woman from Nevada, the one who thought she was a witch, the guy who felt rape victims couldn't get pregnant, and then you get to " 9 9 9 " and Carson.   Trump is just the next step. 

 

Still, I would vote for Trump and his nukes over Ted Cruz any day.   There is literally no politician I like less than I like Ted Cruz.  I would sooner take 12 George W Bushes and Dick Cheneys before I voted for Cruz.  At least Trump is from NY and there is a 50/50 chance he is faking this.   Cruz with that accent and that pausing...I hate the fact we are the same species.  I think the most nauseating thing he ever said was how when he came to America he immediately fell in love with country music...which just so happens to be republican music.   How convenient.   I don't know why nobody ever asks him why he renounced Canada.  Isn't Canada a fine country with fine people?   If he had the character he says he has why would he renounce it?   It's like a Hollywood actor changing their name to because they don't want to be jewish or something.

The Koch brothers are now even going after libraries. (sad to say they won this battle)

^ That's really sad, but again the source is the ultra wealthy.

Le Donald finds new basements in crucial polling, indicating Wisconsin may not be his for the taking.

I've always thought Trump wouldn't be the nominee and I think we may finally be hitting that stage. I just hope if they get a consensus nominee it won't be a generic mediabot, as they will walk the election.

this did NOT start with Trump......the RP has been doing this mess since '64 under Barry Goldwater. For me.....it's a blast watching this party finally destroy itself. so hopefully it can be rebuilt from the ground up with some centrists who will work with the Dems (why actually give a damn about us) and get some true legislation done that will help raise wages, get people out of poverty, help our vets and rebuild our public school system. 

We'll see. I'm not sure they can pull out a narrow escape from Trump, or that their base won't revolt hard and harsh either now or at the convention, which could turn to absolute chaos.

There is no one they can put forward now who's ready or who stands a chance. Rubio was the Great Latino Hope and we all saw what happened there.

What didn't start with Trump? If you were responding to me, I said I'm annoyed with poor people being blamed for the rise of Trump. Pretty sure Trump is the source of Trump, otherwise how is his rise any different than any other Republican candidate? And if he weren't different I don't think they'd be p*ssing themselves over his success.

Well said.

My dear, THE REPUBLICAN PARTY's DOWNFALL didn't start with Trump. 

The GOP fears Trump is now a zombie candidate.
