Any Democrat that announces even fleeting support for Trump should be permanently ejected from the party. We have no need of their ilk.

PP's OP reminds one why Trump is now the talking head for the republican party - I mean how many inaccurate, when not dishonest, points can one make in a short paragraph? Seven years of 'birtherism' has created a GOP that doesn't know which end is up. I do find Trump's self congratulatory election dialogue interesting when he gets outside himself and talks trade and other countries dumping their products on American soil. Look where things are made today, or survey his screaming audience on what car they drive? This is an area few mention in either party as both believe the nonsense of free market preachers. Wanna get down the debt, build here and tax here, but do you really think Apple, Nike, and all the corporations that offshore work are going to listen? America is based on constant growth and that is married to a stock market mentality that ain't changing soon. We are now a service and entertainment economy. Keeps the folks occupied and happy. Immigrants are the baddies of old. Simple stuff. And so it goes.....
Why do you think turnout is so heavy in GOP and so light for the donkeys ?
That is real people as opposed to talking on a phone.
Walking the walk you might say.
The GOP is more energized. I don't know if it will translate to the general, but if it does the democrats probably won't like the outcome.
BO has been trucking illegals in willy nilly

Its a primary
if you are fine with both possibilities (hell I would have taken O'Mally too) why bother.
wait until the general
More energized yes but also attracting new faces.
And no, the dems will not like it one bit. Can't truck in enough rent a votes to counter this.

The new faces bit will be good for the party and force it to be less elitist---even if Trump goes down in the primary. Even before Trump came along, I was speculating that the democrats have moved so far left, and so fast, it's inevitable that they'd leave some of their voters behind.
I have some issues with Trump, I'd actually prefer Cruze because he's more of a known quantity and a proven conservative. But Trump has been some sorely needed medicine for the GOP. They've gotten away with screwing us for too long.

I can remember when Dole warned that Reagan would destroy the GOP if he got the nomination.......now I'm not arguing that Trump is Reagan, but this election has so many similarities to 1980...
Republican president many viewed as a disgrace followed by an incompetent Democrat who comes close to destroying the economy and a horrible foreign policy record including problems with Iran and Russia........controversial, non establishment Republican candidate with a history of Democrat allegiance.......popular in primaries but not supported by GOP leaders...trailed in polls till the weekend before the election.....
strong support from blue collar workers including Dem labor union standbys......
Reagan was a "movement" alright! like the one my dog took out on my front lawn this morning! A steaming pile of movement!
The actual truth about Reagan that both the Republicans and Democrats hate to hear is the fact that Reagan had a good pal in the Congress, his Irish drinking buddy Democrat Speaker Of The House Tip O'Neal. Tippy visited his pal Ronnie in the White House often for Irish Whisky and some wheelin & dealin. What actually happened was Tippy traded Ronnie his support in pushing through the House Ronnie's expanded military spending and tax cuts for Ronnie's promise to sigh on all of Tippy's and the Democrats expanded social spending. The end result was together they damned near tripled the National Debt.
