I genuinely think you guys are in disbelief simply because you can't comprehend that republicans are doing this good and deep down inside you've grown to expect to lose.
Unfortunately this comment is right on the money.

If he said he would modify, or repeal GCA 1968, and roll back our ridiculous gun control laws that would have impressed me. Removal of the "sporting purposes" clause would be a good start. So un-Constitutional.

I know that, but if he would say that he would lobby Congress for that, I would vote for him. Until then, he is a Sullivan Act supporting New Yorker to me, no matter what he says.POTUS cannot unilaterally repeal laws or parts of laws. BUT the executive branch has responsibility for enforcement of laws. In the recent case of the lack of immigration enforcement (i.e. sanctuary cities), the law say one thing while the actions of executive branch as well as some state and local governments seem to differ greatly. Similar to states who ignore the federal ban on cannibals. No law has been repealed, yet we seem to have "de-facto repeal in some states" by this administration's lack of enforcement.

I grew up under Dwight Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy as models of presidential. Trump makes me miss Richard Nixon. BTW who would be First Lady under a Trump Administration?
Me too. If only we had an Eisenhower, but unfortunately he would be considered to liberal by too many Republicans as determined by current G.O.P. political positions. As fatally flawed as Nixon was he at least understood the realities of Realpolitik. Trump's First Lady would be a trophy wife immigrant who married for money and citizenship.
For the record, I have voted for Dem and Rep, based on who I felt best represented me and mine. No blind party loyalty and I hate machine politics.
Ditto.
$100 Million to Donald Trump is like you or I buying a new car. I dont think its inconceivable in the slightest that he would use a small portion of his fortune to help a long standing friend to elect her the first female US President. The policy outlines he has released in the last 6 months are so far out of line of the historical views of Donald Trump that it is hard to believe they came from Donald Trump. To me and a lot of other people all he is doing is stirring up a <deleted> storm to make the Republicans look like a bunch of clowns. I fully expect him to pull a Perot and split the Republicans after the primaries and run as an independent despite his claim he will not.The man isn't spending $100million dollars to secure the republican nomination just so he can give Hillary the presidency.
If there's something he wants out of the Oval Office he is in a position sign for it himself from behind the desk
Or get back to core values that historically brought us success in the past.
Getting back to "core values" flies in the face of the reality the the general population is moving in the other direction, especially on the social issues that Republicans love to talk about. Continue to move right, continue to lose.
What did Republicans talk about in the debate? Immigration, abortion, sending troops to Syria. All losing subjects in the general election. Republicans should be talking about things that the public agrees with them on: the economy,taxes, debt, gun control, etc. Republican's fiscal policy is a winner, social issues are a losing subject.
Then the party is already irrelevant and should go down in a blaze of glory.
Funny you should mention social issues. For the most part trump is far left of all those Ned Flanders impersonators who get on stage with the expectation that wearing their religion on their sleeve is some kind of qualification for office
What is that quote about the definition of insanity? Keep doing the same thing expecting different results and all that jazz
