Childish. Looks like CNN is happy to have the viewers Fox didn't want.
I thought it was foolish of Fox to take the establishment stance. They were much better in the we report you decide days.

Many of the Trump haters get caught up Trump's personality; or in the media's case, the troll bait he throws their way lol. They seem to miss the fact that Trump drives the debate like no one else on either side. The GOPe fears him for it and the media loathes him for it.

I think it makes for a refreshing spectacle lol. If only I was sure he'd be a good president. The haters are certain he won't be, but they're haters, so they can't possibly be objective about it. It's down to Cruz and Trump for me. The rest will be 'meet the new boss---same as the old boss' and screw that.

I'll roll the dice with Trump before I'll go that route.

Do you think Trump could be worse then 8 years of Obama?? :palm:

I just want to hear him say, in his acceptance speech, "Hillary, you're fired"!! :D

Heck no. That much I'm sure of. And Trump would be way better than Hillary since the latter would extend much of Obama's policy. I don't understand why some Republicans would say they wouldn't vote Trump no matter what. That makes no sense to me.

What it would come down is whether Trump can govern like he campaigns. There's reason to think he could: as I've said before, since he's not an ideologue it's likely he would work with Democrats more than Obama worked with Republicans. Granted, that has the potential to piss me and other conservatives off depending on what gets done, but I'm reasonably confident things would get done in a bipartisan manner under Trump.

But I don't see him compromising on immigration. I don't see him signing bad arms or trade deals; in fact, I think it would be just the opposite. The man is a dealer, for crying out loud lol. I can see him wavering on abortion and some social issues though. But like many social conservatives, I'm willing to compromise in order to get other things changed for the better.

Besides, social issues aren't decided democratically any more and social conservatives are slowly coming to that realization.

Easily and by a mile, Trump has the strongest leadership qualities of any candidate on either side and the country can use one. Hillary is more of a ruler. Screw that.

Let's see. Gone would be racialism amongst his cabinet appointments. He seems to have absolutely no interest in racialism, so there would be no weighing-in from the WH [aka stirring the racial pot] the next time it happens that a black person is killed by a white cop or etc.

The question is a no-brainer.

I have one major reason I am supporting Cruz and would write him in if Trump gets the nomination and that is Supreme Court nominees of which there may be two or three. The next President if a republican has the opportunity to stack the court with Constitutionalists like Alito and Thomas and Scalia for the next generation. That is our best chance at rolling back liberalism.

Imagine six Scalias on the court?

I can count on Cruz to do that. I don't trust Trump.

I have enjoyed watching Trump upend the apple cart of the establishment, but in the end I don't trust him

I wish I trusted him more and I agree on the SC appointments. But a Trump mixed-bag of results is better than Hillary.

But in the end, you will fall in line and vote for Trump once he is the nominee. Right?

When the alternative is encouraging the leftward lurch of the country, why wouldn't he?

Show us a JKF style Democrat to vote for on the national ticket, if you can find one. I would give him a look.

And I feel the same way...

When the alternative to voting for HRC is losing the gains this nation has made in the last 8 years, I will vote for HRC. I do not want to return to where GWB left us 8 years ago.

Kasich is the only IKE style Republican you have running, and the only one I would consider.
