Some interesting Q&A on protesters at Trump rallies

Boner recommending drafting Paul Ryan?
Boehner backs Paul Ryan for GOP nomination
Ryan used some additional phrasing that raised eyebrows. “You know, I haven’t given any thought to this stuff,” the Speaker added. “People say, ‘What about the contested convention?’ I say, well, there are a lot of people running for president. We’ll see. Who knows?”
This won’t help the chatter.
Former Speaker John Boehner said Paul Ryan should be the Republican nominee for president if the party fails to choose a candidate on the first ballot.
“If we don’t have a nominee who can win on the first ballot, I’m for none of the above,” Boehner said at the Futures Industry Association conference here. “They all had a chance to win. None of them won. So I’m for none of the above. I’m for Paul Ryan to be our nominee.”
As the Politico report added, Boehner, who endorsed John Kasich’s campaign just a few days ago, emphasized that “anybody can be nominated” at the convention – and the former Speaker wants that person to be his successor in the Speaker’s office.
Keep in mind, in the CNBC interview yesterday, Ryan expressed no real interest in the gig. “I actually think you should run for president if you’re going to be president, if you want to be president,” the Wisconsin congressman said. “I’m not running for president. I made that decision, consciously, not to.”
The trouble is, Ryan said the same thing when Boehner retired and party officials asked Ryan to consider running for Speaker. The Wisconsin Republican said no, more than once, but eventually suc bed to pressure, reversed course, and sought the job. (In fact, Ryan set some conditions for accepting the role, and as his interest grew, he eventually abandoned those conditions.)
And that in turn created an impression in the minds of Republicans that Ryan, when pressed, will accept great power when it’s offered, even after he seemingly takes himself out of consideration. Indeed, Ryan didn’t exactly lobby for the 2012 ticket four years ago, but that didn’t stop Mitt Romney from choosing him as his running mate.

Holy
Dude is going to show up with his own "2nd amendment" army.
Kasich to appear on Pennsylvania ballot
Do you even understand what a primary is?
Rubio tends to do well in urban areas and in:
Broward (Fort Lauderdale) - Rubio 28%, Trump 49%
Orange (Orlando) - Rubio 31%, Trump 40%
Duval (Jacksonville) - Rubio 27%, Trump 47%
Palm Beach - Rubio 24%, Trump 52%
Damn, that's brutal.
Mexicans lining up to become citizens to vote against Trump

Of course they are. And that's why the Dems are into the path to citizenship, i.e. path to the Democratic Party.
El Canelito
screw this anti-christ. do you have a goal? there's a hot new thread about goals. join us!
That video Trump out out with the bark, is going to lose alot of independents. Another group of voters Trump cant afford to lose.
Why will the video lose a lot of independents?
Whoever is voting for Trump isn't changing their minds, tbh
Mitch, is like I said on that other thread to sannity.
Video works well with the republican base. They love it. That's par for the course, but when you go country wide with juvenile ads like these, it doesn't play well with the masses. Not just republicans but the Dems, independents and actually the moderate republicans out there that hate Trump.
Right wing Republicans probably hate Trump a lot more than the moderates do.
Trump knows this and he wants to bring in Europeans
from CPAC 2013
Trump says Putin likes him and this could lead to more cooperation. Then Trump shows a Putin set up throwing a judo dummy partner and then an Al Queda actor peeking at US followed by Hillary barking...
Trump is absolutely dead in the general election. And if Trump wins... we know Hater-like brains are multiplying across the free world.
And Trump rallies paranoid old white men...
You tell me that while Trump has been juvenile so many times so far, Reck. People just don't care or they find it entertaining, either way you're really underestimating the loyalty of the people voting for him. He's shown his ass so many times and came out clean.
On the GOP side.
General elections are a whole other thing. Look at national polling, favorability ratings and you would see a large gap.
BTW Hillary is not that crazy behind but she has better numbers and she is actually liked within the democratic party unlike the GOP which hates Trump's guts.
I actually dont mind these ads. The more he does, the more idiotic he looks. Works against him imo
Both candidates have putrid unfavorable ratings.
Trump's Unfavorable Rating: 62%

Hillary's Unfavorably Rating: 54%

And I don't agree with what you said about Hillary. I never thought in a million years I would even consider a non-democrat POTUS candidate, but she has driven me right out of the party. I will be voting for Trump over her. I doubt I'm completely alone on that.
True. I'm just saying groups he needs to target in able to win in a general. He doesn't have those categories.
That's trump without gop backing. I mean, Reck, there are superPACs without any candidate supporting their message going after him. You bbasically have Trump voters vs establishment (and liberal in open primary) voters. He should have a much lower favorability. Also Reagan had horrible favorability until he was the candidate, iirc he was between 30-45% for a while.
If the gop backs him, which it probably wont unless he can get the magic number, his support will grow. Hilary isn't the strong candidate people make her out to be and she really does have a good shot at losing to Trump because she's actually disliked by blue voters like Trump is by red voters. If Trump continues like this into the GE with full support, I don't see this being a slam dunk for hHillary like people think.
