The Trump Madness sets in

Trump may be sucking all the Oxygen out of the RNC room, but he's sucking the blood out of Free Republic.

I usually spent about an hour or so a day on this blog. But I spent quite a bit more than that looking for any threads that were not related to "the distraction with traction."

Oh, they're there, but they're all anemic, little posts devoid of any of attentive rage that makes the site go.

Alright, screw it. A last Trump post to finish off the week. Because it's not only empty cheering for an asshole; there are pre-Giulliani-purge-esque fault lines forming.

Trump says if he's not treated 'fairly' he's totally more likely to go third party. On anyone else, I'd say it's a calculated threat to get headlines and cow the GOP into submission. But Trump? Who knows. The few anti-Trump Freepers are horrified. But most of them are too full of hateful love to care.

RoosterRedux thinks this is just a clever tactic:

Of course Trump should be threatening the RNC with a third party run if they try to pull any of their typical RINO nonsense.

You are correct.

That's the way business deals are cut.

He wants Priebus to bring his dogs into line.

Mouton finds Trump has been inconsistent. Proof of media perfidy!

funny, saw an article two days ago wherein Trump was quoted saying he would not go third party.

Remember this, most get flack when they are right over the target.

grania makes the usual comparison Freepers make when they're in love.

Would he make a good President?

I remember that question in the first election when Reagan was elected. The answer was that Reagan knew his strengths and weaknesses, and would bring in excellent advisors and govern well with them.

So, my answer would be, for sure, Trump will be a great President. With the personal contact he's had with talented people all over the world, nobody could put together a greater team to maybe save the US than he can.

The question should be, "The US is in such horrible decline, can even Trump save us?"

Could the Trump-Reagan photoshop beat the best??

JLAGRAYFOX just wants to burn this bastard to the ground:

I still keep my Republican registration, so that I can vote in Republican primaries, but in my heart I am now considered an Independent.

Having said that....I urge Donald Trump to seriously consider running as a third party candidate, which will insure that the Republicans will lose the POTUS election, in 2016!!! The country, of course, will continue to come apart and fail, as well as being openly attacked by the enemies of the USA.....

NFHale hates how petty and egostistical all the non-Trump candidates are being:

It’s time the R party learned a lesson. Their tactics aren’t working. The rest of the Rs need to put their big-boy britches on and start running their own campaigns. They aren’t exactly giving us anything exciting to vote for. They are like a bunch of ankle biters nipping at his heels because, in reality, they are jealous as they see their own hopes going down the drain. And, truth be known, most of them aren’t showing leadership, just pettiness.

How about they just start acting like grown Men instead of whiny little bitches, and put the needs of the Country ahead of their own egos...

don-o - Joe Biden: the Trump of the Democrats:

The Stupid Party is making quite a bed for themselves. A Smart Party would be reacting to Trump just like the Evil Party reacts to Joe Biden.

Truth29 Allows that Cruz might be better than Trump:

I’d give the election a pass before voting for Trump.

Better Trump than Jeb "Act of Love" Bush and better Cruz than either of them.

randita's from 1997, so she'll clam up when the purges come:

Trump reminds me of my 3 year old grandchild. “Wah, wah, wah...look at me...look at me.”

That anyone could take this man seriously as a presidential candidate stymies me.

eartick has some great insights, if you read between the lines:

I personally believe that one single person could not hurt the “GOP brand” anymore than what it is hurting right now.

We gave the GOP the House and the Senate and what have they done? Aided and abetted the _Resident Muslim.

They have undeniable proof of lawlessness in the Obama administration. Almost every alphabet organization has broken the law and what has the GOP in the House and Senate done about it? Nothing. They hold “special committee” meetings so the chest thumpers can get in front of the camera.

You have a white hating Eric Holder who lies under oath, is caught and should have been put in jail goes free. Then who is allowed by the GOP to be replaced by an even more white hating black female.

No, the GOP brand destroyed it’s own brand

The Republican Party been stoking the fires of personally-directed paranoid populism for a long time now. Trump's ad-hominem antics are just the next level.

Alex Jones 2020!
