I'm not terrified of jack ****. I hate loudmouth, racist, bigoted bullies like Trump, so I enjoy ridiculing him and his fanboys.

Evidently, the left wing media can't find any evidence to support your racist claims, otherwise they would have been all over it. Had it been true, Chris Matthews' legs would be tingling all over the place.
Where is your proof?
 
Great read on how true conservatives feel about Donald Trump's candidacy. In fact, the National Review just put out a special issue dedicated to the topic. Nice to see there is still hope for conservatives, I was starting to lose faith....with all the hoopla over Trump's circus act these past few months.

National Review, conservative thinkers stand against Trump
http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/21/politics/national-review-magazine-opposes-donald-trump/

Trump’s political opinions have wobbled all over the lot.
Click to expand...
His signature issue is concern over immigration … But even on immigration, Trump often makes no sense and can’t be relied upon. A few short years ago, he was criticizing Mitt Romney for having the temerity to propose “self-deportation,” … Now, Trump is a hawk’s hawk.
Click to expand...
He pledges to build a wall along the southern border and to make Mexico pay for it. … the promise to make Mexico pay for it is silly bluster. … These are not the meanderings of someone with well-informed, deeply held views on the topic.
Click to expand...
…Trump pledges to deport the 11 million illegals here in the United States, a herculean administrative and logistical task beyond the capacity of the federal government. … This plan wouldn’t survive its first contact with reality.

Trump is a nationalist at sea. Sometimes he wants to let Russia fight ISIS, and at others he wants to “bomb the sh**” out of it. He is fixated on stealing Iraq’s oil and casually suggested a few weeks ago a war crime — killing terrorists’ families — as a tactic in the war on terror. For someone who wants to project strength, he has an astonishing weakness for flattery, falling for Vladimir Putin after a few coquettish bats of the eyelashes from the Russian thug. All in all, Trump knows approximately as much about national security as he does about the nuclear triad — which is to say, almost nothing.

Indeed, Trump’s politics are those of an averagely well-informed businessman: Washington is full of problems; I am a problem-solver; let me at them. But if you have no familiarity with the relevant details and the levers of power, and no clear principles to guide you, you will, like most tenderfeet, get rolled. Especially if you are, at least by all outward indications, the most poll-obsessed politician in all of American history.
Click to expand...
Any candidate can promise the moon. … But he is like a man with no credit history applying for a mortgage — or, in this case, applying to manage a $3.8 trillion budget and the most fearsome military on earth.
Click to expand...
Trump’s record as a businessman is hardly a recommendation for the highest office in the land. … Few of us will ever have the experience, as Trump did, of having Daddy-O bail out our struggling enterprise with an illegal loan in the form of casino chips. Trump’s primary work long ago became less about building anything than about branding himself and tending to his celebrity through a variety of entertainment ventures, from WWE to his reality-TV show, The Apprentice.
Click to expand...
…His promise to make America great again recalls the populism of Andrew Jackson. But Jackson was an actual warrior; and President Jackson made many mistakes. Without Jackson’s scars, what is Trump’s rhetoric but show and strut?
Click to expand...
If Trump were to become the president, the Republican nominee, or even a failed candidate with strong conservative support, what would that say about conservatives? … The movement concerned with such “permanent things” as constitutional government, marriage, and the right to life would have become a claque for a Twitter feed.

This will only increase his popularity with anti-establishment types, which is virtually all Republicans outside the D.C. Beltway.

That's sad and pathetic, but does explain how a buffoon like Trump is so popular with redneck right-wingers.

Because Presidents from both parties have been sending their jobs to China and Mexico for 30 years?

Yeah, and electing an incompetant loudmouth neophyte to run the country is going to help change that - or anything else - for the better. Go back to watching cartoons, that's the intelligence level Trump is counting on from his supporters. :whistle:

I was gonna say, how's that working out?
 
The RNC pulled a debate away from the National Review. They've been out of touch since William F. Buckley died. The RNC canceled a debate with NBC too, because they're a bunch of ******* commies. The committee sees what is happening and is finally starting to come around. It's about time.

Nice try gentlemen. Problem is Obama is neither incompetent, nor a neophyte, not seven+ straight years running the country in the toughest job on the planet. So again, nice try. :jag:

Tough job, indeed! Only 55 trips to the golf course last year...
 
The National Review still doesn't want to give up the idea the future of the Republican party is white, evangelical, gun-toting, moral high ground bullshit.

That is a failed political platform on a national level. Now and more so as demographics continue to change in America against the very ideal "republican" the National Review panders to.

The future of the Republican Party is Nationalist ideals against the growing European Socialism ideas coming from the political left. Not smaller government, but more fiscally responsible government. Not white america but standing for all american minorities through better immigration control and small business interests. Not anti-science, but admitting global warming exists and the energy business is part of the solution, not the problem. The future Republican party needs to stand up against monopolies, go back to pushing fair trade, hiring practices and sticking up for small-mid size businesses based in the dear old USA. Cut out the red tape. Tax reform. Let the economy breath again without burdens of political mumbo jumbo. Smart, clean, concise regulations that make sense.

That's the only way it survives unless all it wants is local rural area victories and seats in congress.

The GOP finally gets a candidate who pulls in black and Hispanic voters and the folks who run the party don't like him.

What is sad is, in all likelihood, the hillbilly, evangelical rednecks are just going to form their own party (it's already happening really) that will control about 25% of the house seats and maybe 10% of the senate (stupid states like Wyoming and Alaska).

Just like Europe we're headed towards possibly 3, 4 or 5 parties that are going to start splitting up congressional seats. In that case, because of our 2-party system everything boils down to primaries both on a local, state and federal level.

And I still believe whoever can sales pitch their way through the primaries the best, remain somewhat neutral on moral issues (which polarize everyone) then runs in a national election on common sense middle-of-the-road platform is how you win the big spot. Unfortunately, I don't see many Republican candidates willing to do that. Trump is trying, but he's still too much of an ******* to probably win on the national level. He's showing the way however.

Is there a single Republican candidate currently that fits this description? Or are you talking about down the line, years from now, that they'll reluctantly come to this realization?
 
You gotta love Stephen King...
