It's a REVOLUTION!
46,000 Pa. Democrats Become Republicans Due To Trump
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Nearly 46,000 Pennsylvania Democrats have switched to Republicans since the beginning of the year.
According to Penn Live, some experts attribute the mass exodus to Donald Trump.
There’s even a title for the movement. It’s called “Ditch and Switch” and calls for lifelong Democrats to abandon the party, register Republican, and help ensure Trump’s place in the general election.
Professor of Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College, Dr. G. Terry Madonna, tells the paper he has a theory behind the switch.
“With the increase in support in exit polls for Trump among working class, blue-collar Democrats, it is my belief that these are people who fall into that genre”
The numbers are similar in other states as well.

If - when - Trump wins Florida and Ohio, that will cement my prognostication abilities as worse than Neville Chamberlain's. I brilliantly posited that Trump would "never be the Republican nominee."
Most of my democrat hardcore friends believe the dems registering to vote for trump will vote hillary in November and are only doing so to **** with the republicans. However they cant find one person who has switched who doesn't genuinely want to vote for thevolitile one...
I believe this phenomenon is tied to two things ... The first being a belief that trump will trend more liberal in social matters after the election, the second is the belief that as a businessman, he is better suited than the other two to fix the economic woes... Hillary and bernie both have flaws there and its one of the highestconcerns

The establishment should be thrilled to have this happening. But, he's not in the good old boys club.

Wow. That will give Trump a conservative boost.

PA should be an interesting state to watch. I think Obama won by 300k, so Trump still has a way to go but I'm sure Clinton won't be nearly as popular with blacks or college kids. On the other hand I'm sure a lot of Republican seniors have died or have become incapacitated since 2012 and he'll lose some of the moderate and establishment Republicans.

So Cruz's winning strategy is to call the biggest republican constituency since Reagan a bunch of low information idiots. Time for you Cruz people to start wrapping you heads around the fact that Trump is going to be the guy. Don't get me wrong. If Cruz finds a way to get the nomination, I am all in, but that guy - with his incredibly punchable face - is one annoying douche, and in spite of his correctness on issues, will not get the turnout needed, especially after this strategy - which is consistent with his douchebaggery. If a liberal/moderate makes a choice between Hildabeast and Punchyface, they will pull for Hilldabeast. On the other hand, Donald is a fresh alternative and you would see waves of democrats cross over for Trump.
Of Course Ted Cruz Would Make a Better President Than Donald Trump

I doubt either Trump or Cruz is likely to win in November. But in recent days I have encountered the opinion, especially among liberals, that there is no difference between the two candidates. And this is a ridiculous idea. Cruz would make a much better president than Trump. It shouldn’t be hard to see why.
For one thing, Cruz actually knows what he’s talking about. If you listened to Trump during the CNN debate, you heard little in the way of policy detail. His answers begin with a few words describing how angry people are and how China is taking our jobs before ending with a demand that we negotiate better deals. Trump is full of bluster, often funny and impolitic. He’s a great communicator because he reaches peoples’ deepest emotions. But to call him “articulate” would be an exaggeration, and to call him a “wonk” would be delusional. You might not like Cruz’s policies or the manner in which he communicates them, but there’s no question he has firm convictions, a grasp of detail, and knows how to make an argument.
Then there is the question of the Constitution. Trump never mentions it. But Cruz worships it. He mentions it often in his speeches, knows its contents, is devoted to the memory of the Founders and wants to protect their legacy. I don’t know how a President Trump would respond if one of the other coequal branches of government challenged his authority. Indeed, I am somewhat afraid that Trump would ignore or move against that other branch, whether it’s Congress or the Court. But I don’t have that worry with Cruz. He may be an ideologue, but he’s an ideological constitutionalist. Trump is neither an ideologue nor a constitutionalist. His only principle is winning. And he’s not talking about you winning. He’s talking about Trump winning. That’s all that matters to him.
Cruz is very conservative, a Bible-believing Christian who is fiercely pro-market and hawkish (if not as interventionist as other Republicans). That might upset secular liberals worldwide. But would Cruz be as erratic, would he be as explosive, would he be as unsettling as Trump? I doubt it. The man idolizes Ronald Reagan. Well, we survived, indeed flourished under, one Reagan presidency. Not a bad model for our next president to have.
Who does Trump idolize? Himself. And his neutral and sometimes flattering attitude toward authoritarian governments ought to make you think twice about seeing him in the Oval Office.
The Oval Office seems very far away right now. It’s unlikely either Trump or Cruz will be elected president. But nominating Trump would change the Republican Party in a way nominating Cruz would not. Trump overthrows the apple cart. He’s already breaking one weak institution—the GOP—and there’s no telling what other weak institutions he could break if elected to high office. For reasons of policy, presentation, and character, there is only remaining choice in this GOP primary. It is Ted Cruz.
Either one will do, in fact any of them R's would be a more accurate statement.

I happen to prefer other candidates, and certain things about Trump make me nervous; but I appreciate that he is shaking things up, and I refuse to belittle Trump's supporters for believing he would be more effective than many of his rivals. Our forefathers' precious gift of liberty to us is not self-sustaining, and if we don't quit kicking it to the curb, it will leave us, never to return.

Trump needs to embrace black voters while not alienating the John McGraw voters and he knows it. I think it's how he bungled handling the David Duke endorsement.
Just because someone endorses you doesn't mean you endorse them.

You are on crack about Christie. He is a gun grabber who is hostile to Amendment 2.
**** the Governor of New Jersey in his gigantic ***.
He wants to take away pot from the hippies too. I say smoke 'em if ya got 'em.
Sarah Palin came to the defense of Donald Trump supporters and condemning Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz for insulting them.
Cruz’s comments that voters who favor Trump have “relatively low information” and are “not that engaged” earned him a scathing response from Palin who went off in a Facebook post on Thursday.
The Texas senator’s “insinuation” that Trump’s supporters are “Wayyyyyy Beneath” him “reeks of all the reasons America knows ‘the status quo has got to go,'” Palin said in the post.
Calling Cruz’s comments “downright nasty,” Palin then turned the GOP candidate’s words on himself asserting that Trump voters ARE low information when it comes to knowing about Cruz.
The former Alaska governor slammed Cruz by systematically asking where voters could get information on his ability to unify and lead, and asking him “how it helps make America great again by arrogantly disenfranchising this Primary season’s majority voters who are fed-up, inspired, optimistic, and engaged?”
“How does it help unify the party or the nation when that holier-than-thou narcissism manifests itself through negative, biting, deceptive tactics,” asked Palin, who endorsed Trump in January.
Palin suggested that the information on Cruz is “nonexistent” while Trump’s “energized, positive campaign” has broken previous Republican voter turnout records.
“Any info, Ted, on where you think that ‘disengaged’ momentum will take us?” Palin asked at the close of the post

Christie says Trump is the Second Amendment and site his conceal carry permit. What makes you think he's anti the Second Amendment ? In this race the GOP should welcome anyone who want to help out.
