    If he gets close enough to even sniff the Presidency, it's a good sign that he's out of Langley central casting anyway.

    Put yourself in the shoes of the Democratic party elite. Who among the Republicans would be your "dream" candidate to run against? Keep in mind that becoming President is not about winning the popular vote!

    Why would you think Trump "can't" win, when he's destroying the GOP field? If he gets the nomination, why would you think he "can't" win? What is your logic and facts that back this up?

    I agree with that. 100%. They will try to destroy him. Or kill him if he's the real deal.

    Trump will destroy Hillary. Hillary has so much baggage and such a shitty resume and no charisma, she's done.

  7. Likely true. If you oppose the true Power Mongers and are in a position to exercise significant influence, you run the risk of being "JFK'd".

  8. I must side with Wildchild on this one. Trump is not electable. I like his stick it up your ass attitude, but he is by no means presidential material. I'll back Cruz at this point.

  9. Cruz is in denial

    Ted Cruz Calls Alleged Planned Parenthood Shooter 'Transgendered Leftist Activist'

    Cruz took issue with the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.”

    NEWTON, Iowa -- Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) downplayed the role anti-abortion rhetoric may have played in the fatal shooting of three people at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado and suggested the suspect was a “transgendered leftist activist" at a campaign stop in Iowa on Sunday.

    Speaking with reporters following the event, Cruz rejected suggestions that the shooter was part of the anti-abortion movement, taking issue with the “vicious rhetoric on the left blaming those who are pro-life.”

    Robert Lewis Dear, 57, was taken into custody Friday night after allegedly opening fire inside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, killing three and injuring nine others.

    When a reporter reminded the Texas senator that the suspect allegedly made a comment about “baby parts” while being arrested, Cruz countered, “It’s also been reported that he was registered as an independent and a woman and transgendered leftist activist, if that’s what he is.”

    Dear’s voter registration, where he is listed as a woman, was uncovered by the Gateway Pundit, a self-described "right-of-center news website."

    “We know that he was a man who was registered to vote as a woman,” Cruz said. “The media promptly wants to blame him on the pro-life moment when at this point there is very little evidence to suggest that.”

    Asked if the shooting was an act of domestic terrorism, Cruz declined to draw conclusions.

    “I would call it a murder,” he said. “It was a multiple murder of what appears to be a deranged individual. And it was horrific, it was evil and we will find out more about the facts, but I don’t think we should jump to conclusions.”

    Cruz became the first GOP candidate to denounce the shooting during a campaign event in Lamoni, Iowa, Saturday.

    “We don’t know what those motives were, but whatever they were, it’s unacceptable, and it’s horrific and wrong,” Cruz told reporters before a town hall event.

    Cruz has been a harsh critic of Planned Parenthood and has even referred to the organization as an "ongoing criminal enterprise," vowing to launch a federal investigation if he is elected president.
