You can tell the Republican candidates that are generally more in it for real than just for show by comments made after Trump comment on McCain. Ted Cruz, born in Canada, is one that is in it for the publicity and possibly hoping for a VP spot. Cruz claims he meets the natural born citizen requirement because his mother was an American citizen. Where are the those claiming Obama is not a citizen?
My guess the best combo for the GOP is Bush with Rubio or Walker as VP.

Trump will win the GOP nomination and he will win the Hispanic vote. The Hispanic community will love him because he will get them all jobs

Everyone thought this would crush his chances but this didn't even affect his ratings. I think his ratings have gone up since this happened

I've tried to figure this out. He's says things that are truly offensive yet he doesn't seem to be driving that many people away. The only thing that makes sense to me is that he's saying things that people are really feeling but have good enough judgment not to say themselves. He definitely lets it all hang out. Oddly none of the other GOP candidates run up and take it away from him when he makes a blunder. It's very interesting.

Wow, I guess were are really that used to politicians that won't actually say anything that hasn't been laundered through opinion polls that we can't fathom a candidate who actually says what he thinks and what he would intend to do if elected.

Yes that and the simple fact that sometimes it's not what you say but how you say it.

He knows his audience and the rest of those feckless turds are afraid to confront him because they don't want to "alienate the base."
PS, don't quote me on that, lol.

I understand that the article is supposed to be satire but I really don't get it. I just wasted 10 seconds of my life reading that horrible, "feckless" "turd" of an article. Rubbish. Complete rubbish. I don't think his bar can go any lower. None. Zero.
PS: You can quote me on that.
PPS: Ronkh, I'm sorry. I understand now.
All done, that article seriously just go to me. Dumb. Sheer idiocy.

He is tapping into a frustrated electorate, who hate any professional politician, and government in general. I think anybody who is surprised by his leading the polls ...has been asleep the last 40 years. For those sleeping...its best you stay asleep because you are the problem...electing the same professional politicians over and over...who are bought and paid for. I assume even Trump can be bought, but that remains to be seen.

Very true. I equate his popularity as sign of discontent from the voters (mostly conservatives) against the status quo. He is the product of the Republican brand where you go against everything in a loud and obnoxious way playing to the media to drum up hate and discontent and not really trying to solve anything. You just point fingers at who is to blame for something. He is the sum of many conservatives (Cruz, Rand, Rush, Hucabee, and other cranks). If someone would actually vote for him then I wonder about them.
It is actually the current political motivation technique for both sides. You are being asked to vote AGAINST the other candidate and less about voting for the one they want you to vote for.
We have had the republicans running the house and senate and we still do not have that much done (no immigration bill, no long term highway bill, etc) except trying to pass bills to stake out election issues (like getting rid of Obamacare).

I think the bar may have been lowered when it comes to cheesy caps.
Other than that, the little article is as silly as the New Yorker readers who pretend to "get" the cartoons.
I also believe she would have made a better decision maker than the other three people on the two tickets in '08.

That sounds cheap. In Orange County, NC, it costs about $8000 in initial building fees to get a permit to build a 3000 SF house. This ends up being paid by the home buyer.
