'President Trump' May Not Be So Far-Fetched - And the Polls Scare the Establishment to Death
WASHINGTON — Republicans who started off viewing Donald Trump as an amusing sideshow are starting to fret that the real-estate billionaire is becoming the main event.
Since he defied skeptics and launched his presidential bid last month, Trump has rocketed in the polls, dominated media coverage and helped steer the debate on issues.
“I don’t know that he even knows how far he takes this,” former New York GOP Rep. Thomas Reynolds, who is close to GOP candidate and ex-Gov. George Pataki, told The Post. “He has the wherewithal . . . He has put together a pretty wholesale ground force in New Hampshire, and that has to be taken seriously.”
Trump accounted for a stunning 48 percent of all social-media and traditional-media conversation about politics over the last week, according to analytics group Zignal labs for The Washington Post. Trump had 1.9 million mentions, compared with just 448,000 for top Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton.

This does not look good for Marco. He ducks out of his scheduled Q&A and Donald will be speaking today at the same event. You think he will be bringing this up??
Rubio Blinks: DUCKS, DODGES, WEAVES THROUGH LAS VEGAS, SKIPS OFF STAGE WITHOUT CONDUCTING PLANNED Q&A WITH LIBERTARIANS
(http://media.breitbart.com/media/2015/07/rubioExport-640x480.jpg)
LAS VEGAS, Nevada — Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, offered no policy specifics whatsoever in a speech to Freedom Fest here at Planet Hollywood filled with rhetoric—and skipped off the stage without conducting a previously-agreed-to question-and-answer sessions with the audience.
The speech, which lasted just about 20 minutes, was scheduled previously to go for 30 minutes and include 10 minutes of Q&A. Rubio, after finishing his remarks, ducked off the back corner of the stage without taking questions from the audience—which all week leading up to this moment has been critical of him. What’s more, Rubio—through his campaign spokesman Alex Conant—has repeatedly refused Breitbart News Network interview requests here at the event.
Until now-Republican frontrunner Donald Trump, the affable real estate magnate and reality television mogul, announced he was coming to Freedom Fest—Trump is speaking on Saturday—for weeks Rubio was the keynote speaker of this conference. After Rubio attacked Trump over Trump’s accurate comments on immigration, Trump took the keynote status away from Rubio—announcing he’s going to be speaking on Saturday to close out the event. Trump, of course, is performing significantly better than Rubio or Rubio’s mentor former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush

Rubio needs to step it up and quit acting like a little bitch.
The fact that he has a guy like Trump who will be following him with an energized raucous crowd will only magnify his absence ten fold.

RUbio has the PERFECT CHANCE to go in there and act like a freaking adult, be a complete contrast/opposite of Trump, and suddenly become the choice for all repubs that dislike trump's abrasive style (and that's a LOT of them).
instead, you're right, Rubio is scared of it, he's skipping out.

Trump is like the neighborhood tough guy that hasn't been whipped yet.
People talk a big game about facing him when he's not around but when it comes to a face to face confrontation they just don't want any.
I can't quite put my finger on it but he just has that aura about him that has an effect on certain people.
Certainly unlike anybody I can really remember in politics.
-
Come on guys.
Faux News is just doing their side show barker crap
Polls don't mean shit at this point (or really much of anything given how each clown got his 5 minutes to drive the car the last time we watched this nonsense)
Does Trump even have a professional campaign team and structure or is he planning on doing everything by himself via confrontational interviews.
This guy is entertainment and nothing else
-
Rubio is just a schmuck. Skipping the Q/A is the best thing he could have done to avoid looking like a fool.
-
Trump is the guy that doesn't NEED it. He doesn't need the presidency. He's already achieved BIGGER, being a billionaire and developing cities.
The others? Jeb, rubio, they're considered letdowns if they miss out in 2008. They'll suck up to anyone they have to. They want to get support from powerful groups/donors, and get enough $ to buy enough ad time to win the electoral votes.
TRUMP? He's playing an all-or-nothing game. Win the American people with a take-no-shit, give-no-fvcks attitude. So far, it's working. When he eventually does step in shit, go too far, and he'll get emotional and he will, his apology will cost him half his supporters inside of 2 weeks. Let's hope he doesn't do that :)
-
I'll say it again...
The FIRST time Trump apologizes, for anything, it's over. Jeb quickly overtakes him in the polls and never looks back.

The key flaw in your assessment.
Donald Trump never apologizes.

polls don't vote
Trump is a sideshow

Repub base hasn't shown up in a prez election since 2004, and even then it was close.
Trump has them energized. Trump has some liberal/ swing/ young energized too.
I know bar people, plenty of people that hang out in clubs, and many in entertainment/service industry. They find politics boring, lame. They don't know ted cruz from penelope cruz. But they loves some trump!

OWNED!!! :D

Yup. People like the fact he doesn't give a duck about big corporate money.

I used to think that. But his show and many of his lucrative things are gone now. And he's prepared this time. I'm old, I've seen trump pretent on this bullshit for almost 30 years now? THIS TIME, he's prepared, he's researched positions, and he isn't falling for media tricks from FOX or CNN or MSN.

Trump will one of the first, if not the first to drop out
He thinks running for POTUS is just another phony baloney reality show

it's only President Trump if Rodger Ailes goes along with it.

it doesn't matter whether it was in a fox news article or not.
if Rodger and Murdock want Trump, they will have their network push him like a bowel movement that is stuck.

Dos Equis doesn't want to talk about the article, doesn't like it. He hates on trump but if he's the canddiate, he'll be telling is how great trump is.
So, he's rather hate on me than talk about the article, which makes some great points.

As usual. Can't refute or deny the message, so let's just try to kill the messenger.

You didn't seem to notice or have a problem when that whiny little bitch 333 did the exact same thing over and over again. But now suddenly it's something worthy of the scarlet letter.

No, I didn't notice that Soul Crusher was a compulsive liar like 240. I did notice you following him around the board every day. He has been gone for months and you're still talking about him. lol

No. Obviously not. But again seeing the obvious isn't something you are known for. Funny that 333 did the exact same thing more often than what you are accusing 240 of, yet that somehow didn't make him a "compulsive liar". ::)
"lol"

I like it when I make a good point, and the response is a 240 personal attack.
because when I'm wrong, they jump all over my shit with "here's why you're wrong..."
and when I'm correct, they respond with an attack on me.
Everytime Coach or Dos Equis won't discuss the thread - instead calling me a lib/liar - They tell the rest of the world I'm right on the point I made.

TEXAS GOV GREG ABBOTT: TRUMP’S TONE WRONG, MESSAGE RIGHT
(http://www.redstate.com/uploads/2013/04/Abbott-Portrait.jpeg)
Monday on Newsmax TV’s “The Steve Malzberg Show,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) said Republican presidential candidate and billionaire business mogul Donald Trump’s recent comments on illegal immigration struck the wrong tone on immigration, but had the right “emphasis” on Americans’ concerns.
When asked about Trump’s controversial comments, Abbott said, “Either all or almost all of the presidential candidates are talking about this very important issue about immigration and about the border. I think the tone of what Trump has said has not been the right tone. It would not be the tone that I would have adopted. But he is emphasizing what a lot of Americans are concerned about, and that the fact that we have broken immigration system and a porous border. People are tragically losing their lives and they shouldn’t be. Something needs to be done about it.”

True. His tone completely drowns whatever his message might be.

GERALDO, BOLLING GET INTO HEATED BATTLE: ‘I WOULD KNOCK YOU OUT'
(http://static01.mediaite.com/med/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/geraldo-bolling-300x196.png)
Monday on Fox News Channel’s “The Five,” things got emotional over Donald Trump between show panelists Geraldo Rivera, Eric Bolling and Jesse Watters.
Watters referred to President Barack Obama as a “skinny committee organizer,” which led Geraldo Rivera started to get angry, calling the remark “disrespectful” and saying, “Immigration is like a cheap drug. You get a big bang, a quick high, and a very long hangover.”
But the sparks ignited when Watters said, “It’s not a quick high when people are getting murdered in San Francisco.”
Rivera shot back “That is exploiting the misery of that family.”
Which caused Eric Bolling to quipped “From a guy that exploits and sensationalized everything.”
Rivera threw down his papers as he said, “Are you talking to me? You’re lucky you’re my friend or I would knock you out right now.”
Bolling said, “We’ll take this up later.”
Rivera yelled, “That is absolute bogus BS.”
A visibly annoyed Kimberly Guilfoyle said, “All right, OK. Control room? We’re going to have a commercial coming up. It’s probably a good time to roll the Bowflex commercial.”
