Quite certain Trump doesn't fear losers.

    I'm not up on the news this week so don't know the context, but my guess is that most liberal Republicans fear the idea of Trump as the (R) nomination because if would serve as further proof that the (R) party is being taken over by dumbshits (not that the (D) party is doing any better).

    Losers fear successful people

    Romney loses at life, and Trump beats it to a pulp.

    Because both underperform compared to the S&P500?

    That's ironic coming from you. I'd imagine their return on investment is higher than your welfare checks.

    Many conservatives fear Trump because he's not really a conservative and if elected, will probably be a centrist economically and center-left socially.

    It will be hilarious when he tells the far right who got him nominated "A wall? You didn't actually think I was serious about that did you?"

    Nobody realizes that Trump is holding his tax history back for leverage.

    Hillary is going to come at him and ask to see his taxes ... and he will say when you release your Whitewater paper, or your emails, or your speeches to Wall Street.

    Boom ... roasted ... she'll shut the fuck up.

    Or she'll show him her already released tax returns.

    Because he is a pussy. They are all afraid to make the tough decision. And they all wonder why Trump is leading.

    If Donald Trump being the front runner for the Republican nominee for President doesn't scare the shit out of you, you're either numb, blind or both.

    It's not because He's mean to Muslims, Immigrants or hot blondes. It's because every Sunday when He's on MTP or FTN, he babbles incoherently when questioned and/or cornered and can reverse his position in the same paragraph.

    If ever there were an empty suit that is running for President, He's the one. It's amazing how many can be dazzled by trophy brides and assets built on houses of cards.

    Everyone here knows it's not about trophies... It's how you perform against the spread.

    Trump really is no conservative, other than for his love of walls and military spending. And even then there are conservative arguments to be made against those issues. He's just a pre-1968 Democrat.

    So it's strange to say the least that people will vote for Trump largely based on his charisma and ability to project through the media, when those are always the first criticisms that conservatives level against Obama.

    Obama is criticized for his policies. He is lost without a prompter. Trump is much better off the cuff. He projects strength. Obama is weak.

    Trump is an 80's democrat moderate to conservative. Not welcome today.

    Obama is no populist, that's clear. I'll have to disagree that needing to prep for stump speech-style communication is a reflection on his governing ability.

    Good poast. Yeah DT is not a conservative in the slightest (fiscally, socially, or foreign policy). Voting for him is purely populist catharsis.
