Donald Trump: You Should Vote For Me Because, Unlike Cruz, I Can Make Deals With the Democrats; "You've Got to Be a Little Bit Establishment"
Donald Trump is that guy on Survivor who has made mutually-conflicting promises of alliances with everyone in the game.
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Thursday there's nothing wrong with a little deal-making to get things done. "You know what? There's a point at which: Let's get to be a little establishment," Trump told about 1,500 people at a rally at the Las Vegas South Point Resort and Casino. "We've got to get things done folks, OK? Believe me, don't worry. We're going to make such great deals." ... "Guys like Ted Cruz will never make a deal because he's a strident guy," Trump said.Trump, who has been all over the map on every issue, is now all over the map on the central argument of his candidacy. Cruz is too strident? We have to make deals with Democrats? Hey asshole, we have eight other candidates who agree and they're not crazy. Incidentally, the establishment really is cottoning to Trump -- because they see him as a better alternative than the real threat to the Establishment, Ted Cruz.

Why wouldn't you? What does it harm him to do so?
He doesn't care about conservatism or America or the Constitution. Donald Trump cares about Donald Trump and he isn't going to be bothered by little things like these stupid deals about stupid things.
And if by some heart attack miracle, Trump becomes president, there's no way there's a GOP Congress. It'll go Dem. No question.
And he'll let them have whatever the hell they want.

We know Trump is is an asshole, we just don't care.
I'd happily vote for Cruz if given the chance to, but otherwise it's Trump or the Democrat - and my only fervent hope for a Trump presidency would be that it is equally as painful for the Democrats as it is for the GOPe.
That would be better than the status quo.

The first sign of sense to come out of the Establishment for years.

You START negotiating with a ridiculous position, and then get what you really want when you negotiate down.
Progressives are masters of this.... they have chipped away at the Constitution for generations now... chipped away at what a Right is... until we no longer really have one...
The GOPe starts negotiations with the status quo... and with TELEGRAPHING what they will NOT do (no government shut down... .)... so ANY deal moves the bar towards the Progressive side.
Trump won't do that.... he will tilt the balance by starting with the ridiculous...
'we must deport every stinking illegal in the country... NOW... and make Mexico pay for building a wall... and it'll be 1000 ft tall!!!!
What we can't do that... OK... we'll start a program to prosecute Visa overstays, and built the wall ourselves.... and you can call it a win!"
Its the F'n ART OF THE DEAL!
Its like he won't tell the ENEMY what he will do to ISIS.... specifically... he won't show his hand before he's even at the first draw....

The GOPe would like to vote Democrat this year, but I just cannot see them be willing to vote for Bernie. I predict all 535 of the Uniparty, plus their hangers-on (Steve Schmidt, Stuart Stevens, and assorted Friends Of The Blog) will be so conflicted they won't vote at all.

Lott, Dole, and Hatch have all said they prefer Trump to Cruz. They dont really want Trump. The want Bush. They think if they destroy all the other candidates it forces a head to head choice between Trump and Bush. The Bushies think Bush will beat Trump.
Not. It more or less ensures Trump will prevail. Mike Murphy has enraged Cost and the NRO and John Podhoritz of the NYPost who all prefer Rubio.
They want to make Jeb stop attacking Rubio because they think Rubio can beat Trump, Cruz and Clinton
so these "endorsements" are theater. They are playing a game

Like I said before, Donald Trump really has no idea why he is popular. It's a damn shame, too.
What I mean is, Trump has no clue why *I* support him. He thinks he knows, but Trump, like Jon Snow, knows nothing.
I suspect that Trump's ignorance will eventually be his downfall.

The real challenge is McConnell who, if you don't stop him,will use the excuse of not having a filibuster proof 60 Senate majority to let Chuck Schumer run things the way that Harry Reid has.
I don't see Cruz as being as effective at this as Trump will, but Your Mileage May Vary.

***************************
I really don't understand the hate for a guy whose mere presence in the race assured us that we wouldn't get another Bush nominee and has been the rising tide that lifted Cruz's own campaign, despite the smackdowns he's giving him now.
A lot of the negative reactions to Trump seems to be the result of quotes taken out of context or not reading between the lines. It doesn't bother me that Trump stated he would have to make deals. That's just a fact of life in politics. He's pointing out that Cruz wasn't able to get much traction going for conservative policies in Congress because he pisses everyone off, and he has a valid point.
Trump also said these deals would be GREAT deals, as in, they would favor the conservative side. Whether we believe him or not is another story, but I don't see why his statements here should be construed as un-conservative or conflicting.

All we've had for too long are backstabbing losers. We know they're lying to us, or we at least feel it. Like Romney being a "severe conservative". We take the lies and we hope against hope they won't make us look too bad and maybe will overcome the media and win. Then if they win, we hope they won't screw us, and they do. No matter their bonafides before we voted.
The Republican brand has been damaged by both sides and the media uses this to take down anyone associated with it. They do not have this advantage with Trump. He is untarnished by the brand and it's killing them.
He also fights dirty just like them. He is a scrapper and media master on par with Breitbart. You only have to watch him to see it. Even our "conservatives" are way way too nice, and only leave us wondering in the end about their allegiances.
Posted by: Mega at January 22, 2016 12:46 PM (OGdPA)
He quoted a 28 yr old guy who said (at least how I interpreted it) that the Dems are fringe (LBGT, weirdos, socialists), and the GOP...old white guys (?). Ok. So he feels that Trump is offering a new trajectory for country. Ok.
The thing I like about Trump is his financing his own campaign, not beholding to the lobby's, not scratching the backs of K street. He owes no donors for favors. So he is free to say we need a wall and we need to stop moose limbs right now. He is free to discuss the extermination of Christians in the Middle East. He is free, which makes him not on guard for making a yuge mistake by being "raciss" or whatever.
This said, knowing that no man is perfect, no President is going to make everyone happy.
I do want a President who scares our enemies, home and abroad. Panic (as Rush is discussing now). Why? Welp, I am blonde but think it is they are afraid of their own jobs on K street, their sudden lack of importance with their puppet strings.
On the flip side: I think Trump is not going to want to fail. I think he will choose his cabinet wisely. If he scares people, good. xoxo

Find me someone else like him without going on youtube and finding Ironman clips.
He's a capitalist. He plays the socialist game because we've been a proto-socialist country since the 1940s. But he is NOT Of The Body. He's just not.
Liberalism is an aesthetic identity based on conformity to a certain type of speech, dress, and anti-consumptive consumption based on being self-abasing and thinking of others first. It was developed by socialists to trick Americans into rejecting capitalism. It's memetic. It's obvious just by looking at a person and talking to them for (say it with me, sickos) seven seconds whether they're liberal or not.
Donald Trump is not a member of that church, friend. He's just not. So you can attack him on all of his perfectly obvious flaws, but you can't call him a socialist.

Cruz won't be as effective as Trump in winning critical swing states.

Not. It more or less ensures Trump will prevail. Mike Murphy has enraged Cost and the NRO and John Podhoritz of the NYPost who all prefer Rubio.
They want to make Jeb stop attacking Rubio because they think Rubio can beat Trump, Cruz and Clinton

Exactly. In the 1990s we had a lot of compromise and things. Neither side was 100% satisfied but both sides were at least somewhat content. Same in the 80s.
In the 2010s though it's been Dems getting everything and Reps (or better yet conservatives) getting nothing.

I'm not worried about Trump. He's a solid private-sector guy. If you're a top-tier real-estate developer in the Northeast, then cutting deals with local, state, and federal bureaucrats is part of the daily routine. That's the system. That's how things get done. It doesn't mean he -likes- the system. Dems love that money pipeline. Trump has the experience and possibly the will to break it down to the point where people throughout the country can enjoy life without the government's regulatory iron boot on their necks.

It's an attempt at humor. You see "Trump isn't a conservative" is a frequent argument used against him. My joke was "the proof is he is willing to make deals with the Republicans." This implies that the Republican establishment isn't conservative either.
As to LIB, no, not really. I think there is a good chance of it though because the establishment types have been forgetting some things - they get the "noblesse" part down real well, they just have forgotten there is an "oblige" as well.

The one thing he's been consistent on is NOT giving specifics. He is going to have to do that at some point.

He gave a bit of an example of that last night. it went something like this paraphrasing "both R's and D' agree that repatriation of corporate profits\funds stored overseas would be a good thing, they've agreed on that basic thing for years, why can't they make a deal on this and get it done? Obama's not a leader, he's not a deal maker, he just goes around Congress, you don't need these E.O., you need leadership and guy who knows how to get these type of deals done....I would make great deals...yadda yadda".

I'm right there with Cruz on most issues, and I think the squishes' dislike for him is a sign of his doing something right - but he has a very poor record of convincing even fellow Republicans to stand with him. Is that because they suck? Yes, in part, but a better leader might rally some of them. When has Cruz persuaded anyone who wasn't already on his side?

Trump says he wants to "expand" ObamaCare to include "the companies", by which I think he means making ObamaCare something like Medicare Part D, and he says he will readily make deals with the Uniparty socialists in Congress and in the Donor Class.
Cruz says he won't make those deals, and that's what the GOPE says about him, which is why they hate him with a burning fire.

I'm dealing with a very similar situation at work. It's very dysfunctional here. A prominent software development manager made a BS promise that everyone knew they couldn't keep. And, here's the frustrating part, everyone went along with it.
"Now that we know X is going to happen by Y date, let's make plans A, B, and C which all hinge on X." When I spoke up during planning and pointed out everyone in the room knew X wouldn't happen by Y date, or even Y date + a month, everyone looked at me as I'd just taken a dump on the conference table, then proceeded with the plans.
Also, it's not just me imagining things when I say everyone knew this manager couldn't keep her promise. In private conversations multiple people laughed about her promise and acknowledged it was beyond ridiculous.

I can imagine a dynamic quickly forming in D.C., that deals will get made... but at a cost to the status quo. America first, always in every negotiation.

My variant thesis is that the GOP establishment have promiscuously and inaccurately applied the label of "conservatism" for so long that the word is now semantically meaningless. It has ceased to have any actual connotation of, or connection to, classical conservative thought.
I give you three examples drawn from life:
(a) Mitt Romney, who banned scary black rifles with shoulder things that go up, who enacted the Obamacare prototype into law, and who ran for the Senate against Ted Kennedy _from Kennedy's left_, referring to himself as "severely conservative".
(b) George W. Bush pushing "compassionate conservatism", the agenda of which was indistinguishable in practice from the agenda of his fellow Texan, Lyndon Baines Johnson. (Bush even threw in starting a poorly conceptualized war in Asia to make the LBJ parallel exact. Remember when conservatives argued for staying _out_ of wars except with clear attainable goals in mind?)
(c) Lyin' Ryan saying it was a "conservative victory" that his latest omnibus budget got rid of the Cadillac taxes which Obamacare was about to levy on Big Labor health plans. Uh, reducing the self-inflicted pain of Obamacare for a key Democratic constituency is now somehow conservative? Riiiiiiiiiight.

This is a damn fine critique of Cruz. If he had a bit more of Rubio's rhetorical style, he'd be gold. He may not be perfect, but I really do like that Cruz fights. Right now though, I just don't see good leadership qualities or ability to manipulate opinion. Expressing conservative doctrine isn't hard and Cruz can do it fairly well, but he's just not strong enough in persuasive ability right now.

If Yeb! is effectively gone after IA/NH/SC, and Rubio's numbers are kept very low, then Trump will have made his contribution. Yeb! probably cannot drop out before a humiliation in FL. Rubio will certainly hang on almost forever since the desperation of the "establishment" is empowered with vast resources. And with Yeb! out, the desperation will resemble Germany in March 1945.
If it's just Teh Donald and Cruz after Super Tuesday (effectively, anyway), then we have made one tiny immensely difficult step. Like daily stock price changes, almost impossible to attribute specific outcomes to specific causes, but Trump will almost certainly have helped side-line Yeb! and Rubio.
After the tiny step, the fantasy for rational, intelligent voters would be a nasty bidding war between Trump and Cruz over restoring the rule of law in immigration, in all respects. Probably just a fantasy. But without Trump/Cruz as the two last standing, there's no possibility of such a beneficial bidding war on any policy area.

The rest is situational to the conservation being had. "Cruz is the best choice" is a different topic from "Cruz is a better choice than" or "Cruz is an acceptable choice" or "Cruz is a g'damned gravy on his french fries Canadian".

IMO this is one of the things the NR types are missing. They are thinkers and writers and theorists. The American people don't care much about thinkers; on the contrary, they value doers. Trump, for all his faults, has a long track record of getting things done and I think that's one of the reasons that his base doesn't give a crap about Trump's flips and flops.
The other issue that I think NR is missing is that you can't reason someone out of a position that he didn't reason himself into and a lot of Trump's support is emotionally based.

I think that while there is a germ of truth here, the GOP in DC is not as conservative as many would like and hasn't delivered, it is also largely a situation of circumstances. The makeup of Congress and the people matter whether we like it or not. When Obama had veto proof majorities in Congress and the overwhelming support of the public, what did people think was going to happen? Some new conservative renaissance?
For the last few years it has been fighting on defense, not always very well (bye Boehner) but the idea that Obama has gotten everything he wants lately is just not true.
No matter who wins if it is a Republican this time they will likely be working with a Republican Congress. They damn well better get things done. If you can't win with a stacked deck you really suck.
Lots of Republicans in DC didn't support Reagan. He got quite a bit done with their support as I recall. If Cruz wins, they will also do his bidding.

Conserving just means you kind of want to preserve the status quo. The status quo at this point is a hot mess. Most of us want to roll back a lot of the crap that is the status quo these days.
Traditionalist, as described by Chesterton at least, always fit my outlook better. Going with the things that are proven over the years and using them, while not hesitating to go for something new, while still being aware of unintended consequences.
I realize that some of you will argue that labels do not matter, but I think words and how we frame our ideas do matter.

Conserving just means you kind of want to preserve the status quo. The status quo at this point is a hot mess. Most of us want to roll back a lot of the crap that is the status quo these days.
My definition of conservative is, roughly stated, someone who could read the Federalist Papers and agree with almost everything written there.

IMO this is one of the things the NR types are missing. They are thinkers and writers and theorists. The American people don't care much about thinkers; on the contrary, they value doers.
Posted by: Ghost of Lee Atwater at January 22, 2016 01:07 PM (JxMoP)
Excellent point.... we are being pushed by media people who have mostly NEVER DONE THE JOB!
Their profession is telling us all about something they have never done... that they do not have the talents for...
Its like movie critics.... they can't act, can't write a screenplay, can't direct... can't do shit... yet they somehow get to decide who gets awards???
Or the various sports hall of fames... not chosen by PLAYERS.... or even Coaches... but by writers...

I agree with that, but there is a lot of spite and "f-you" sentiment among Trump's base. Which doesn't bother me, mind you, there's a big part of me that feels that way, but NR is not going to beat that mindset with appeals to reason.

Ah...there's that condescension everyone loves. They couldn't possibly have rational, well thought out opinions, and real world experience to back up their decisions, it's just cult-like emotion amongst the uneducated, unwashed rubes.
I don't know how many times I've seen Trump supporters back up their opinions with rational, non-emotional arguments and still those who won't take off their 'emotional' blinders persist in biased characterizations and ad homenins.

Yes...that's true. Or, at least, I hope it's true. Incidentally, Cruz is going to win the Iowa primary handily, and then we get to see a full blown melt-down from Trump.

The GOPe has similarly reached their end point, which is a cradle to grave nanny state, wisely run by them and their cronies. This is very similar in nature to the Dem ideal and can never be admitted, so they throw up some smoke and mirrors occasionally to act like they are resisting.
I'll believe there is a change in DC when fisticuffs in Congress are a common event and a bloody nose is a badge of commitment.

Cruz can't be trusted either. He's the best candidate the establishment has ever produced, but he's still establishment. The standard big money donors, and flip-flop on my key issues.
Just because he wears nice looking sweaters and has a calmer public demeanor than Trump doesn't make him more trustworthy.
For the record, I would gladly vote for him if Trump doesn't win it, every candidate has their warts.

Which led to Reagan getting repeatedly rolled by O'Neill, in debacles such as the 1983 TEFRA bill (leftists still bleat to this very day that "Reagan raised taxes eleventy!") and the 1986 Simpson-Mazzoli amnesty package.
A whole lot of the failure of the purported "Reagan Revolution" to roll back Fedzilla was because Reagan was a gentleman whose word was his bond, and Reagan negotiated in that good-faith spirit with O'Neill, who was a cynical Bowelston ward-heeler whose personal promises were meaningless.

ot, here's a good piece over at legal insurrection
National Review Special Issue against phony conservative ... Newt Gingrich
http://ow.ly/XpGR0
excerpt
The issue I have with the Special Issue is it smacks of top-down condescension, of an intellectual elite telling people what they must believe to be true conservatives.
It's the opposite of the method I adhered to when I was in private law practice and I teach my students. People don't like being told what to think; it often creates the opposite result. More important is to provide the facts and reasoning that lead people to the conclusion you want. That way they own the decision and embrace it.
I agree with this assessment by Ben Shapiro:
Now, I have my own biases on this issue - this week alone, I've characterized Trump as the establishment pick over Ted Cruz, slammed Trump for his establishment-style attacks on Cruz, and stated that he has "no central guiding values other than his own glorification." And I agree with virtually everything written about Trump in this National Review special edition.
But I still think the National Review issue does Trump more good than harm.
Here's the reason: instead of allowing the building groundswell of anti-Trump commentary to consolidate organically, National Review forced the issue to "get on the record." They made the resistance to Trump look astroturfed by an intellectual elite. They gave Trump cannon fodder for his disenchanted base, which rightly feels disrespected by conservative thinkers.

This is also my greatest worry. Nixon to China. He knows he'll be lauded by the press and lionized by historians like Beschloss if he does it, so for him it's a great deal. For the rest of the country.....

Since I don't remember, 2008 I think.
When was the Great Purge at LFG? Was there more than one?
There was one at HOtgas around the same time over the dreaded 'r' word as practiced by colonials.
I remember trying to defend George the W, but not sure if that was here or not.

Honestly, I could see that happening.
Ace is an apostate liberal who left because he can't stand their BS. A lot of the bedrock conservative principles are foreign to him. For example, ask him where rights come from. Most conservatives and the founders would say rights come from the divine and are inherent as part of your humanity. Ace would say rights are granted by government.

Ace is just at that stage with the plunger in his hand watching it well up about to crest the sides of the toilet knowing there's nothing he can do to stop it.

"The earth was thirsty for snow. The winter wheat, in peril of its life, shrank in need to be covered with the soft white blanket. The snow began falling at dusk from a still and milky sky. The flakes at first were large and loose. They slapped against walls, against the boughs and trunks of trees, with the wet impact of a child's kiss. They clung, slipped, melted, and the earth for an hour or more drank them in like rain. With the sudden dark, the air turned cold, the ground stiffened, the snow gathered itself together in compact crystals and fell hard and fast, as though the elements had had enough of softness. The sharp particles hissed against the window-panes, then settled down to a steady pelting."

The flipside, I see a lot of Utah/Mormon voters that absolutely hate Trump. They disliked the muslim thing, and the mormon culture puts a premium on meekness in their leaders.
I see this as a good thing, as UT will vote red no matter what. No point in appealing to a group that are fine with Romney, Huntsman, Rubio. Though many this cycle are on board with Ted.

Dumbass, let me lay this out for you:
(1) The LIV HATE Trump. His disapproval ratings are off the charts. Disapproval does not go down. Once people hate you, they hate you forever.
(2) Trump is a stalking horse for Hillary. Once his numbers are compared to the Democrat, he won't do squat to bring them up. He'll just whine and complain and give up.
(3) You say you hate being lied to but you think that Trump's on your side. He is not. He hates you. You're a mark. He's not going to be lying to the LIV, he's already lying to you.
Don't believe me? Look at his speeches: poll numbers, people who have dissed him and the emptiest of platitudes.
You are nothing more than an Obama voter. That's it. Pure white columns.

Just means he's upset and frustrated and nothing seems to matter in politics any more because its all a mix of vomit and baby diarrhea and the toilet is backing up. Ace is just at that stage with the plunger in his hand watching it well up about to crest the sides of the toilet knowing there's nothing he can do to stop it.

This is patently false. Jeb Bush is part of a political dynasty whose members passed no child left behind, signed off on the housing loan bill that led to the crisis, never fought cultural liberalism, and turned a blind eye to illegal immigration. You'll have to pardon me on not going back to Bush 1's presidency: I was a wee babe.
Jeb Bush has on some deep crimson robes and is waving a deep crimson flag with a gold R on it, but that does not make him a conservative. We know what we're getting with him, and it's more of the same. Marco is worse. Christie got Obama reelected. John Kasich is a lizard person.
Half, or at this point probably more than half, of Trump's appeal is the giddy feeling of falling and not knowing what you're going to land on. But he's still a better bet than any GOPe stooge. Period.
Just my opinion. But I doubt I'm alone.

I suspect Phil is genuine in his endorsement of Cruz. Willie's probably thinking, "My going for Trump in contradiction will make for a ratings bump!"

I didn't say that everyone that supports Trump is a slack-jawed idiot. Heck, I am with Cruz right now but I like Trump and will happily vote for him if he wins the nomination (which I think he will). But it is clear that there is a segment of his base that is just plain angry. Nothing wrong with that at all, I'm just saying that NR isn't going to win this way. They should have been brave enough to just come out and jump behind Rubio and beg everyone else to drop out.

Trump has no problem making deals with the dems and GOP "to get things done"
The GOPe has no problem making deals with the dems "to not look bad in the media so they can win the next big election."
See why Trump is supported by even conservatives? The ultimate goal of the GOPe is to have control of an ever growing and powerful government, the goal of Trump is "to make America great again."
Big difference.

It would sure be nice to know what deals he would cut. But he sees Cruz (and NR) trying to corner the conservative voter, so maybe sees that as a chance to be the hero to some of the Rubio/Jeb sad sacks.
A president leads and "bullies", but does in the end deal. Campaigning on dealing maybe works for an art of the deal guy. But doesn't sound strong to those portraying him as King Kong.
This doesn't change much for me ... I keep hoping he'll be specific on the big door in the wall, or other things. I can only go by guys like O'Reilly and Giuliani and even Jack Welch, and his kids. So I'm still with him or Cruz. Cruz also has "issues". (wanted 5 times the H1Bs, has one foot in the Goldman Sachs door, whom I consider the boss of establishment)

Disapproval does not go down. Once people hate you, they hate you
forever.
(2) Trump is a stalking horse for Hillary. Once his numbers are
compared to the Democrat, he won't do squat to bring them up. He'll just
whine and complain and give up.
(3) You say you hate being lied to but you think that Trump's on
your side. He is not. He hates you. You're a mark. He's not going to be
lying to the LIV, he's already lying to you.
Don't believe me? Look at his speeches: poll numbers, people who have dissed him and the emptiest of platitudes.

So, in my estimation, Microsoft would still have zero lobbyists there if they hadn't had their butthole enlarged by DC.

Lol. You charmer, you.
"(1) The LIV HATE Trump. His disapproval ratings are off the charts. Disapproval does not go down. Once people hate you, they hate you forever."
Nope. Trump turned literally turned his high unfavorably into high favorable in a matter of months. Articles written about the phenomenon.
"(2) Trump is a stalking horse for Hillary. Once his numbers are compared to the Democrat, he won't do squat to bring them up. He'll just whine and complain and give up."
Delusional. No point in answering.
"(3) You say you hate being lied to but you think that Trump's on your side. He is not. He hates you. You're a mark. He's not going to be lying to the LIV, he's already lying to you."
He hates us? Wow, man overboard. Man, overboard.

In his second book Obama said, "I serve as a blank
screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own
views." and "my treatment of issues is often partial and
incomplete."
Not seeing much daylight between Obama supporters and Trump
supporters.
But go ahead, live out your revenge fantasies on the Left
that Trump is going to deliver for you. Oh, what wonders await. Each of your
worlds will be made right again.

Of course you're not alone. Apparently there's a near-majority of probable Republican voters who agree with you. Still don't understand why you and your fellow supporters can't see through the guy--and we've seen his like before.Trump's just another in a long line of greasy, meglomaniacaldemagogues who have plagued our country since its inception.
And yet you and your fellow supporters keep ascribing to the guy qualities he doesn't possess, motives that aren't in evidence, policy positions he has never clearly ennunciated. The man's personal philosophy and guiding ideology are a mystery, but thankfully he's got you and yours to plug in the details for him.

Trump/Cruz can undo some of what Obama wrought without help from Congress, but our next President is going to have to "hondle" Congress to get the US back on course. Veto anything that's omnibus to force manageable spending bills that can be cut. Ryan may be an ally.
The real challenge is McConnell who, if you don't stop him,will use the excuse of not having a filibuster proof 60 Senate majority to let Chuck Schumer run things the way that Harry Reid has.
I don't see Cruz as being as effective at this as Trump will, but Your Mileage May Vary.

I don't quite get the anger. Politicians need to do deals. Trump has a
number of positions that are not orthodox conservative. His stating
that he'll make deals, doesn't mean he'll fold on his central issue (as
his ego is quite tied up in it), but what he can do in exchange for
votes is offer some Democrats (like the black caucus) money for projects
in exchange for help with something like immigration restriction, which
THEIR votes already want. I don't think a Ted Cruz could do that. I
don't like the bribes, and I wish we didn't need them, but choices have
to be made.
Posted by: Schaeffer at January 22, 2016 02:02 PM (8t5CA)

...words.
I'm fine with voting for Trump as a big F you to the GOPe. I'm fine with voting for him because who wins won't turn this ship around and at least he's entertaining. I'm even fine with voting for him because you figure it stops the Democrats from getting the White House again.
But I do have a problem with actually believing anything he says and falling for the cult of personality. That's just something nobody here should be dumb enough to do.
That's why I argue both sides of the issue: I always oppose the mindless cheerleading and blind worship of a politician, particularly one as soulless and venal as Trump. He's not there for you, for America, or for the future, he's there for one guy: Donald Trump.

MY preference is Cruz for President but I don't see him win the nom and the general both. He could make for a terrific ticket and administration and set him up as the favorite next time.
With Trump I know the wall will be built, there will be mass firings in the civil service and the VA will get substantially better.
The choice isn't Trump or Cruz. If Nat Review gets Trump out it will be an establishment candidate like Rubio and the wall won't get built and the VA won't be fixed and the civil service will grow.
If Cruz gets out its Trump not Jeb, Christie or Rubio.
I would take them all instead of Hillary.

Beck: Trump Has 'Makings of Adolf Hitler'
breitbart
According to Beck, if Limbaugh's analysis is accurate it spells doom for the "republic."
"I want you to listen carefully to what he is saying," Beck said. "I hope he is wrong on this because this is the biggest warning about the end of the republic I think I have ever heard coming from Rush Limbaugh."
Beck argued that those components of nationalism and populism were "the makings of Adolf Hitler," which he called "a dangerous combination."

Sure they do. Democrat negotiation and compromise:
Democrat: We want to ban all guns!
Republicans: No. We'd love to, too, but we wouldn't be re-elected.
Democrat: How about we ban all guns that go boom?
Republicans: Um, sure, that sounds like a reasonable compromise.
Republican negotiation and compromise:
Republicans: Our constituents want us to open full faith and credit to concealed carry licenses. So let's talk about that.
Democrats: How about we ban all guns?
Republicans: Sounds like a good starting point.

"This is patently false. Jeb Bush is part of a political dynasty whose members passed no child left behind, signed off on the housing loan bill that led to the crisis, never fought cultural liberalism, and turned a blind eye to illegal immigration. You'll have to pardon me on not going back to Bush 1's presidency: I was a wee babe."
Bush I also was a despicable cocksucker. He signed into law such progressive bullshit as the Americans with Disability Act. He raised taxes and never slashed spending. He was pro-choice most of his life, just as Trump was, and convinced the Big Bible cretins otherwise. Bush I gave us the Clintons just as Bush II gave us Obama.
"Jeb Bush has on some deep crimson robes and is waving a deep crimson flag with a gold R on it, but that does not make him a conservative. We know what we're getting with him, and it's more of the same. Marco is worse. Christie got Obama reelected. John Kasich is a lizard person."
Jeb primarily has a white flag to wave. His investors didn't know even that simple task was above his pay grade. Marco is a lifelong hustler with a knack for selling favors, taking bribes and associating with criminals. Christie is a big fat idiot. Kasich is what everyone on stage is without the Sy Fy network make up.
"Half, or at this point probably more than half, of Trump's appeal is the giddy feeling of falling and not knowing what you're going to land on. But he's still a better bet than any GOPe stooge. Period."
Truer words. Someone has to be either retarded or insane to think any of the others, including even Cruz, isn't more of the same.
Just my opinion. But I doubt I'm alone.

This all by itself is huge. These issues wouldn't even be talked about by any of the other candidates had Trump not brought them up. That shows a hell of a lot of leadership. The sheer amount of crap he took at the outset for his stance on illegal immigration... how can say the man is not principled?

I do give him credit for extending the Overton window except not the traditional definition of that window. Normally this is taken to mean the range of ideas that the PUBLIC is willing to accept in public discourse.
He extended the range of ideas that pundits and politicians were willing to talk about (even if it was just to say how terrible they were) but the public was already there.
He still deserves credit for this and for telling the PC police to fuck off. I found that as entertaining as a basket of kittens BUT that entertainment does not blind me to the fact that Trump is a man who is inured to the system of crony capitalism and who sees nothing wrong with that system even though it is the root cause of the destruction of this country.
I would say that Trump extended that

In a series of head-to head matchups with individual challengers for the nomination,
Mr. Trump led Mr. Cruz 59% to 29%,
Mr. Rubio 64% to 27%,
Mr. Bush 68% to 22%,
Mr. Kasich 73% to 15%, and
Mr. Christie 69% to 19%.

Don't tell me he would be a viable candidate on the republican ticket if the republicans hadn't told their base to fuck off for er, decades now.
He wouldn't. Maybe he'd have a chance as a centrist on the democrat side.

Other than his fixation on flooding the nation with illegals, Rubio is a
great candidate. He's the guy I'd vote for in a heartbeat, if it
weren't for that. Its a deal killer, particularly the way he goes
about it (saying two things depending on the audience, etc). Jeb has
... no redeeming features at all. None. He's without charisma,
leadership qualities, distinctive character, or ability. He's the guy
the Bush family tries to pretend isn't there at the family gatherings.

I
do give him credit for extending the Overton window except not the
traditional definition of that window. Normally this is taken to mean
the range of ideas that the PUBLIC is willing to accept in public
discourse.
He extended the range of ideas that pundits and
politicians were willing to talk about (even if it was just to say how
terrible they were) but the public was already there.
He still
deserves credit for this and for telling the PC police to fuck off. I
found that as entertaining as a basket of kittens BUT that entertainment
does not blind me to the fact that Trump is a man who is inured to the
system of crony capitalism and who sees nothing wrong with that system
even though it is the root cause of the destruction of this country.

What people hate is not that we make "deals": Last I checked, that was the history of, I don't know, our entire government, since we made "deals" on the Constitution.
It's that we take it up the squeakhole on every deal.
What the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal is saying is we will need to deal with these people. Which is a truism, unless you want to be the Republican King Obama .
By the way, I currently support Cruz. But I'm growing a little tired of the bullshit and double-standards. In the end that's not going to serve anyone well.

No. You don't have a right to talk down to people.
You do have a right to disagree and I never said that.
Disagreeing doesn't mean you demean the other person because of the opinion they hold.
You yourself just labeled us as gullible and said you hope we come to our senses. That isn't talking down to someone?
I don't believe some of you all realize what you're saying. You're so shocked that we don't agree with you and you thought we would that you dial it up to eleven and forget what you're saying.
And you, troy, aren't the worst by far.
And if you noted that I posted a National zogby poll (and this guy is not a right winger by any means)
Trump is at 45% (which means he's still climbing)
And Cruz is at 13%
And that should tell the tale. We can't all be that stupid. Not in a primary. Sure popularity doesn't mean it's a good thing but it does mean you've got a tough row to hoe to change all those minds before the primaries.

Keep the damn thing off the trigger.
Don't let anything ELSE get on the trigger. (you wouldn't believe some of the pics I've seen of hosters and belts and other shit hitting the trigger while drawing or reholstering.
It's just stupid.
and that's the other safety the nut behind the wheel.
When they say "act like every gun you pick up is loaded"
They aren't kidding. That means EVERY. DAMN. TIME. you pick one up. Even though you just put it down.
Then it will become a habit.
next is don't aim at anything you don't want a bullet to tear apart. This is a back up measure.
There are very few 'accidental' discharges and they mostly have to do with improper cleaning and/or design.
All the rest are Negligent discharges.

It's a ritual that helps remind you to empty the gun.
Plus there's been incidents where someone wasn't paying attention and LOADED THE GUN and immediately forgot they loaded it. (I'm not kidding)
they then let off a round checking the trigger. Bang.
by having no ammo, that unconscious loading would have been less likely to have occurred.
Besides it's not that hard to put it in a shelf nearby or in a box. Just get it out of the area where you're working.
go to a gunsmith's I will bet money you won't find ammo on their bench. Unless that's what they're working with.

Well. The Dog Problem.
per Scott Adams, a dog doesn't know he's stupid. He's a dog.
The issue is, super-geniuses are actually quite rare in society and those are really the only ones who can legitimately say anybody is stupid because they're at least 2 standard deviations above and can thus see the difference and diagnose it correctly.
Most of us are just in the middle somewhere. Which means the ones calling everybody stupid are the dogs what don't know it.

going to be disappointed. I know you think he's a die hard conservative,
but folks thought Joni Ernst was a decent candidate too.
We would not be hearing a thing about Cruz if it weren't for Trump right now. GOPe can deal with him too.
Posted by: notsothoreau at January 22, 2016 03:04 PM (5HBd1)
Cruz has a history to judge from and that history indicates we can trust him not to sell out. Joni Ernst had her military service and rhetoric that was more conservative than her opponent's.

With a Leader who wants the best for America, the Congress can finally respond to a leadership and deal making. That goes for many of the sane Dems too. They were hamstrung by Obama, Reid and Pelosi as bad as the GOP.
Get real.

You and your fellow Trump true believers support a phony baloney demagogue--a man who is so blatantly, obviously a phony baloney demagogue. He's a shameful man, a guy who witheld inheritance monies from his father's estate from his brother and denied his toddler nephew life-saving medical care, a guy whoused eminent domain to force people from their homes to build a limousine garage, a guy whomade remarks laden with sexual innuendo about his own daughter, a guy who happily admits to voting for both Hillary and Obama, a guy who equates a rich kid military prep school to real militaryservice, shitting on all of those who have worn the uniform for real.
So yeah, go ahead, support the guy, butknow that you and your pals deserve all of the approbation that goes with it.

Like others said, "deals" aren't necessary a bad thing. Trump's attraction is that he talks from the heart and pulls no punches in speaking , sometimes ineloquently but his numbers go up. He speaks for many of all stripes. He knows the press is dishonest, says it all the time and goes over them to communicate to the people. He knows who his supporters are, who is giving him this chance (not the left or RINOs or GOPe) and will not stab them in the back for money (doesn't need it) or principle (less assured but worth the risk imho). NRO is Rubio is Bush alternative (JEB! sucking wind despite $100M spent or some such) and GOPe trying to make nice nice and Trump saying this is a big nothingburger.
Sheesh.

The audience so many are so keen on dismissing includes a genuine broad church.
What he says is not just to pander to some mythical conservative base, it's to reach out to the maximum number of customers for his brand.
He is the Disney candidate. Offend no one who matters, rope in anyone you can.
Once elected, everything changes.

The key to understanding Trump is to think C-U-L-T. You waste your breath talking to them.

3 days ago he basically said "You can't call my buddy Mitch McConnell a LIAR... you've got to be nice to him; he's a LEADER!"
So, this is just him clarifying that he really likes the GOP elites and establishment we have; you should be nice to them; he'll be nice to them, and he really thinks they're great guys.
How else can he cut Jeb's lead on the race to the bottom unless he does this?

See, they've been attacking Trump for months now, and it's backfired every time. He just gets stronger. I suspect what's really happening is, they're trying some reverse psychology, a little bit of rhetorical jujutsu.
A lot of Trump's strength as a candidate derives from the fact that establishment-types clearly hate him because he's not "one of them"; he's not "their kind of people". Surely they know by now how much their own voting base has grown to loathe them. I think they're learning from all those failed attacks, and they figure they can instead become more supportive of him and thus tie themselves to him and become an albatross around his neck, dragging him down that way.
And if it doesn't work, well, not a big deal, really; at worst, they'll have made peace with their unwanted front-runner right before the voting starts, and thus maintain at least some small measure of relevance.
It's a smart move for them, whether it works or not.

By the way, I want to apologize for being so harsh and abrasive with you the last time we were talking here. Looking back on it, I'm sure I could've come up with a better rebuttal than "eat a balls".
And, I'm also not so sure it was really worth my time to argue with you on behalf of a kinda-sorta conservative and her gay BFF. I see where you were coming from, and it makes sense. I still don't dislike MKH or anything, but in this time of establishment vs. the grassroots, I have to side with the grassroots, and MKH is definitely establishment.

Believe you? Is this deal as good as Trump University? As good as the Taj Mahal? Trump Airlines?
Note Trump's MO is to make bold empty claims that will end up being as worthless as stock in Trump's casinos.... they MEAN NOTHING. so 'great deal'... is that a deal where we spend MORE or LESS?
I guess insisting on spending less is 'strident' and that's bad.
I don't want a president to 'cut deals' I want a President to:
1. Repeal Obamacare
2. Cut the spending, regulation and taxes.
3. Kill the terrorists and keep us safe.
4. Undo Obama's agenda and put decent judges on the courts and decent administrators in the exec branch.
CRUZ WILL DO ALL FOUR.
Trump will 'cut deals' that will be the same old sheeite sandwiches of yore ... AND HE JUST TOLD US.
Thanks Donald.

I have yet to see a single Trump supporter make a case for Trump that actually a) made sense and b) matched with reality.
The stuff like how he will crush the establishment just sticks in my craw, knowing how Trump was a Chump for Hillary and bill, giving them money, helping Harry Reid and Pelosi, and in 2014 helping McConnell fend off a tea party challenger.
Trump's a lifelong crony capitalist, but Trump supporters want to make the arsonist the fire chief and think he will stop cronyism ... even though Trump is for the ethanol boondoggle.
Trump is 'honest' I've been told, from people who just let Trump's massive flipflops, contradictions and even outright lies in debates on several issues. Its like any words from before yesterday dont count, and total trust in an unrproven guy.
go figure.
Posted by: Trump Chump at January 23, 2016 02:33 AM (yTnTP)
Trump is a buffoon, a dog chasing cars. Someone who is equal parts id and ego who gets easily distracted by shiny objects.
That being said if he is elected I will take pleasure in knowing that all the worthless politicized bureaucracies in the District of Corruption know that their boss was the person they watched for years on "The Apprentice".
I hope he says "You're fired." early and often.

What many beltway "advisors" don't seem to get is the RINOsaurs are pretty much toxic to many who have been supporting Trump to this point. Putting on the a clown RINOsaur suit won't detoxify Trump's desire to replace Obamacare with single payer health care. If this isn't enough RINO stench to turn folks off of Trump, there's also Trump's apparent support for stuffing more cornohol into gas tanks, just to buy a few votes in Iowa.
It is a trifecta of missteps that could well finally start to cut away at Trump's invincibility. However, common sense doesn't always apply in politics.
The crony-packed CoC and PRESSSident are generally happy with all these new positions and they'll be just jumping with joy to be in the driver's seat helping Trump across the finish line for the GOP nomination, if not also into the White House. Politics, from this perspective, may pretty much returning to 'normal' crony management. Oh goody goody...

Reagan got what he wanted by compromising with Tipp, this is a FACT JACK.
Reagan = Popular support among the people. A rebelis nature, mixed with a sarcastic wit. Yet humbled by being in the Peoples House, The GOP and the RNC went after Reagan with a vengeance, he wasn't one of them.
So the question becomes whats drawing so many people to Trump, what qualities does he have that is pissing so many people off. Whats the relationship to Trump and Reagan. Simple. Popular support, and those on the right and left hate him. Only two qualities that apparent at this time. Maybe a humbled nature for the peoples house if he makes that far, only time will tell with that one?
There is no middle ground with trump you hate him or love him, period.
The way i see it at this point is he will have to counter balance his loud mouth with someone that's outside the beltway. I will say this the only polls that matter at this point is the day the votes are counted, the rest are just Bull Crap.
The funny thing about this is that those that despise him the most are those that are closely tied to the government or those that see things in black in white. Or those that watch and listen to every movement of press releases from the RNC AND GOP MACHINE.
I like Cruz very much, but hell bells im real and been around along time and know he has a snowballs chance in hell of winning. The guy looks like Grandpa from " The "Munster show" to bad looks has something to do with our choices about who we elect. Kinda like the fine lady's Fox New has on their shows. Sad but true.
When your on top of the hill every one wants to kick you off, if your not pissing off someone off more than likely your not doing your job. So i take it that you never heard the story that Trumps limo broke down and a couple stopped to help him and he paid off their mortgage, or the behind the scenes story's that never make to the press. I think not.
People are pissed and they are going to stick it in the eye of the Beltway one way or the other, by electing and outsider or staying home, Because their is no perfect candidate for 2016 that we all will love and enjoy. Times have changed,people have changed and their choices on those who we elect have changed.
So stay home and let the Trump train run you over so you can complain i never voted for that guy because im a conservative and he wasn't conservative enough for me. Or here is my favorite "Let it burn down" Well i don't where you have been but its burnt down already my friend.
Iowa is going down for Trump, and the crap will hit the fan then.
