Can't help but notice you did not answer the question. Also, since oBlade seems to have decided to desperately ignore my other question because he apparently cannot find an excuse for Trump no matter how hard he tries, perhaps you can answer it: what about Trump's usual calls for the protesters to get beaten up? Is it admirable to usually incite to physical violence? edit: also, no, the overwhelming majority of people on these forums do not support Trump. You're delusional if you think otherwise. | ||

Except you didn't say "he handled that well", you said that his composure was "admirable". His composure was as ordinary as can be. Funnily enough, though, you're still not replying to my question. What about Trump's usual calls for the protesters to get beaten up? Is it admirable to usually incite to physical violence? Also, the actual "impediment to fruitful discussions" is you (and other posters) refusing to accept any criticism whatsoever of Trump's comments as legitimate, and constantly bending over backwards to defend him no matter the topic. What is "here" supposed to mean? | ||

To be honest Trump supporters should just let these people be arrested by the police in peace. Take pictures of the protesters and point them out to federal agents. It is a federal offense to protest at an event protected by the secret service. I don't know why you are getting so defensive about these people, felons can't vote. Thats -1 vote for Bernie, say 20 people get arrested at each event thats maybe -50 Bernie votes a day. Your girl Hilary must be tap dancing right now. | ||

Liberal media and the whole establishment remain ignorant to the fact that atacking someone 24/7 on the media means he gets 20 times the exposure of all other candidates together. How do you think it looks to non-liberals when a bunch of people you dislike (liberal establishment) spend all their time name calling someone? I think Liberals desperately hope the Donald takes the R nomination. | ||

Streetfights out in the open after Kasich gets appointed the nomination at the convention despite Trump and Cruz being way ahead of him anyone? | ||

Conventional wisdom says he is utterly unelectable and his nomination is a free D win. But then again conventional wisdom said he was never going to be the Republican nominee. I think still think it will be the Democrats election to lose, by not showing up in numbers to fight the wave of Trump support. Like 30% coming out for to vote for Trump and 70% not wanting him. but only 29% can actually be bothered to vote for Hillary. | ||

That's a strong way to put it, but I definitely noticed early on that when Jeb Bush (ostensibly a shoo-in candidate) was having a poor start compared to the Trump spectacle, the MSM never guided him as a viable alternative. Just sort of held his hand as he lost. On March 13 2016 06:52 Toadesstern wrote: not so sure actually. Trump and Cruz are both awful for the R nomination.

Exactly, the claim is that liberals would prefer a Republican nominee who was awful. | ||

Ted Cruz would be an exponentially easier opponent, predictable and ideologically rigid. Trump could flip a position on a dime if he needs to, and there's nothing he wouldn't say. That's a dangerous opponent. It's obvious that Bernie would crush Trump. Calling Bernie a commie in the face of a Trump alternative isn't going to swing the polls 10+ points and Trump won't even be able to campaign in major cities up north. However Trump painting Hillary as a liar, cheat, and destroying sexual assault victims of her husband could take her small advantage away. Especially since Hillary alienated a bunch of her black support recently. | ||

He's the most hated man to run for president in a long time. I just happen to think that Cruz somehow even manages to edge out on him, not because of how much people don't like him but actually because of his policies. Republican base postponing their revolution for 4 years, getting some random bush/rubio/kasich first as a safe bet into a Trump next election would probably have been the nightmare for Democrats. I could have seen that working for both elections. | ||
