    Don't kid yourself if Trump keeps garnering Support while the rest of these guys flounder and we get a brokered convention in which he gets fucked out of the nomination he will be pissed off, and rightfully so.

    Then you have to worry about a third party run or the idea that his supporters just stay home rather than vote for Jeb, the candidate that nobody cares about.

    And Hillary rides her broomstick straight into the Oval Office.

      Trump seems like the guy that needs to be the team leader, or he's not on a team.

      Yep.

      I think he'll win the nomination anyway. At this point he's starting to hit 40% in the polls and Iowa is pretty close. Even if Cruz wins Iowa, looks like Trump will win the nomination.

      If by some chance he doesn't win, he'll just continue yelling on twitter and probably get a new TV show or something.

      ---

      If the RNC does this "Brokered Convention" thing and steals the nomination away from whoever deserves it - then they will lose in 2016 (deservedly so) in a huge landslide. I doubt they do that though.

      If Trump wins, some of the right wingers say "Trump/Cruz 2016!!!!" I think he'd be better off picking somebody who's more moderate to try and win over a bigger voting block. A swing state guy like Kasich would be good, but I sort of expect somebody who isn't in the race currently.

        Carson I almost feel sorry for. He is way out of his league when discussing anything political. Trump was perfect for the first hour and weakened in the second hour. Rubio I thought was the best debator. Cruz came across as to antagonistic with the moderators. I thought Christie sounded good with his answers. He is a Governor and a former federal prosecutor after all. Kasich frankly I'm surprised he is doing so poorly.

        Really?

          Kasich just had this weird penguin flipper thing going on yesterday.

          He was trying to lay down some sick beats or something.

          Kasich is basically the same as old fogies like Bush when you get down to it, he's just better at not sounding like an idiot in public.

            Meaning he doesn't have that Texas swag, but the shit he says is equally as stupid.

                The only reps I want to vote for, are Cruz and Carson.

                A Cruz/Carson ticket.

                Or maybe Cruz/Fiorina.

                Sometimes, it seems that a lot of democrats are registered as reps, and that's how

                Trump is doing so well...

                they want him because higgardly could look nearly like a human being

                debating him. His BS vs her sombeech stupidass lies and videotape of emails...

                I think Cruz wins, because when the others drop out... those votes will go to Cruz.

                Trump has his shallow one liners base, and it's stable, but won't grow dramatically.

                  Every time there is a terror attack, Trump will gain more steam. Not with substance at all but he will resonate with people who are scared shitless.

                    Even when it comes to a Republican candidate you don't like getting support among conservatives.... you still blame liberals?

                      The polls now are pretty much exclusively registered republican likely primary voters, which mostly consists of people who have voted in Republican primaries before.

                      And Trump is winning in all of them.

                      Trump is not a Democrat conspiracy, people actually like him in conservative circles including the Rush Limbaugh hard right winger group. Blaze and breitbart readers are pretty big fans as well.

                            No. Trump has appeal to voters because we are electing politicians who are at times voting for legislation which is not in the best interest of the American people. That is what the video is speaking about.

                                  You just aren't getting it. This omnibus monster bill signed on to by republicans is why the base of the republican party has been looking to outsiders like Trump and Carson (although Carson has faded recently). These republicans idea of compromising with democrats is to get whatever they can to benefit big business and the chamber of commerce and throw to the wayside everything else such as immigration, Obamacare or defunding planned parenthood and sanctuary cities among other things. Even on giving in on immigration these republicans are helping the chamber of commerce who like all the cheap labor they can get and give some of their profits back to GOP politicians who make sure they get favored treatment. So what we have are republican politicians who say they are against Obamacare and will have 40 "show" votes that mean nothing even though they are in position to do something meaningful as they control the purse strings. These republicans were elected to stop some of the Obama agenda but time after time they show they are primarily focused on the interests of big business but they will give cheap talk to republican voters about defunding PP or illegal immigration and then do nothing. I vote republican but I consider them to be the party that is the lesser of 2 evils and not that I think so highly of them.

                                  Sessions is not the best public speaker but listen to the substance of what he is saying. He is blasting his own party, the hypocrisy of what is going on and the betrayal of these republicans to the people who voted them into office.
