    I'm not saying you are a Carly supporter. Anyone that supports Carly is a fool

    But I respect your "NO WAY IN HELL" vote for Trump. Can you respect my "DAMN STRAIGHT" vote for Trump?

    Sure. I just asked for an explanation of your thinking and you gave it.

    Don't know what The Donald's sexual orientation has to do with anything, though. ;)

    BLITZER: If Hillary Clinton had been the Democratic nominee, as opposed to Barack Obama, would you have endorsed her or John McCain?

    TRUMP: Well, I would rather not say, because I don’t have to worry about that.

    But Hillary’s a great friend of mine. Her husband is a great friend of mine. They’re fantastic people. I mean, they’re — you know, the thing, they get a bad knock. She’s a very nice woman. People think, tough, tough. And I guess she’s tough, but she’s a very nice woman. And he’s a very nice guy. We know all about the smarts and how smart they are, and all, but they are good people.

    http://www.buzzfeed.com/andrewkaczy...ain-he-wanted-clinton-as-obamas-vp#.mpmVOZ9QE

    “I know her very well,” Trump said. “She’s very talented. And she has a husband that I also like very much. I think she’s going to get the nomination rather easily.”


    And those gems don't do the same in your world?

    But, what you've failed to mention is Trump actually said "I have endorsed and supported the Clintons".

    Carly has openly said and even accused others of being Clintonites.

    Its like sometimes in an attempt to further your point, you don't realize you say things that contradict your own point.

    My point, which has always been my point, is Carly will say whatever she thinks will progress her agenda.

    Trump has publicly said "I did support Clinton. It's good business", knowing this would hurt his conservative views. Not a typical politician...

    These same people said he was just a summer fling and should be out by September. Were they right?

    In addition to #5, which is obvious, #2 & #3 are the most significant IMO.

    Now where's the list of reasons why he could win the nomination, starting with the built-in name recognition, his willingness to attack anyone in any manner that might be worthwhile, and the fact that he's the only candidate guaranteed to at least survive the inevitable war of attrition that will pare the number of GOP candidates down to probably 6 between now and the primaries.

    Exactly!!!! In order to win the general, you must win independent votes. They lean more towards the middle (obviously). No far left or far right candidate will do that.

    So does that mean Bernie doesn't have a shot? A lot in the democrat party questions if Bernie is truly a democrat when he's so far socialist.

    A liberal going far left is much more acceptable than a conservative going left. A better comparison would be someone considered very fiscally conservative trying to win the democratic nomination.

    If I had a nickel for every time I thought "no way Republican voters will pick that unelectable lunatic", and then they did anyway, I'd have enough for a cup of coffee.

    It would be wrong to underestimate Trump, because it would be wrong to overestimate the common sense of the GOP primary electorate.

    That said, if I had to bet, I'd bet he'll flame out before the first primary arrives. There are, after all, still lots of other unelectable lunatics to choose from.

    Here's one guy's list:

    Seems like this one needs a little disclaimer like, "This opinion has been bought and paid for by The Donald." ;)
