Political Opportunist -- meet Donald Trump!

Two words of the article pretty much sums it up -- "political opportunist". I'm reminded of the story of the Emperor's New Clothes. I just wonder when people are going to wake up and perceive the 'naked' truth about Donald Trump. He's a buffoon, a bully, and a jerk. The article properly singled out that on several occasions he has advanced positions relative to our adversaries in the Middle East that are, on their face, war crimes.

Obviously, I agree wholeheartedly with this review and will continue to support reasonable Republicans who exhibit common sense and logical assessment of the issues and their resolution.

Just my $0.02.

I will vote for whomever the Republicans nominate.

Hopefully, Hillary will be under indictment in a month or two and out of the picture. If she is not indicted, the FBI will lose all credibility. The Dems will have either Biden or Bernie as their candidate. Lets hope the Republicans don't implode and lose the Whitehouse. There will be at least three new Supreme Court Justices appointed over the next term. If they aren't conservatives, the country may be damaged beyond repair.

New Federal Judge supported by 13 GOP Senators: Wilhelmina Wright.

White people are running and hiding. Their mad scramble is aided by a Chief Justice [Justice Rehnquist] who owned racially restrictive property and a Presidential administration [President Reagan] that believes bigotry, poverty, and poor educational opportunities for most public school students are the unavoidable fruits of a “thriving” free market economy.

She's rumored to be on a fast track to The SCOTUS.

We must repeal the 17th Amendment. The states need to regain control of their Senators.

If Trump doesn't get the nomination, I wonder if he has the financial clout and enough history of back room dealings with figures in power to exact a little revenge on one or both sides?

Whether or not he is elected, I am excited to see him (and Cruz for that matter) shaking up the GOP the way they are.

HRC's a loser. Trump's a winner. That's how it should play out.

She should have already been indicted .... There has to be enormous pressure at the top to delay, delay, delay. Probably until, as one of his last acts in office, Obama pardons her. I wish I could say that it might turn out otherwise. She deserves to go to jail ....

Yep, and I guarantee that Trump is not going to appoint conservatives.

IMO...they all have warts...some more than others.

The best interests of the nation must be the focus.

Primary leaders at the moment (it's no wonder this process is uncomfortable):

Democrats:
1).A criminal
2).A socialist/communist
3).An incompetent

Republicans:
1).A boorish business man - albeit a self-promoting genius and political opportunist shaking the establishment of both parties
2).A Tea Party Senator/consitutional advocate - shaking up the party
3).Various folks move in and out of this third spot...each better for the country than the Dems as outlined above.

A "third term" for BHO will be terminal for the nation as we know it...the fundamental transformation will be in place.

Western Europe (and all their problems) is a crystal clear indication of where the Dems want to take this nation.

I haven't counted the dark horse (Bush) and his juggernaut out, yet.

Having worked for some lesbians activists, I found their biggest fear was not Cruz, it was that Trump would become President and he would reverse everything they have achieved under Zero.

They view Trump in the context of Hitler.
