what extremes will the 2016 GOPers take to stand out from the pack?

[240 is Back]

with this many candidates in the race, it may not be possible to just sit tight, be presidential, and let everyone else wreck each other.  With 12+ candidates, the 2016 winner may have to TAKE the nomination with BOLD moves.

We saw trump come out and call mexicans rapists... he was rewarded by moving from unranked to 2nd (and tied for 1st in some polls) for it.  And he will keep throwing verbal bombs, you can bet on that.

Will the others just sit back and hope?  Or will they all start trying out "out-trump" each other with shocking statements to get headlines and rally the base behind them? 

Who will it be?  What kind of statements/promises could they make to fire up the base like trump has?

TRUMP HAMMERS RUBIO THROUGH MULTIPLE TWEETS: ‘ZERO CREDIBILITY,’ ‘OUTRIGHT LIES’ TO SELL AMNESTY

TRUMP ADVISOR: "Donald can’t wait to further expose Rubio’s weakness on immigration"




Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is holding nothing back after his 2016 rival Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) attacked his stance on immigration reform.

Rubio joined Democrats and liberals—as well as most of the mainstream media—in attacking Trump for calling out international criminals who exploit America’s weak and insecure border to get into the United States illegally.

“Trump’s comments are not just offensive and inaccurate, but also divisive,” Rubio said. “Our next president needs to be someone who brings Americans together – not someone who continues to divide. Our broken immigration system is something that needs to be solved, and comments like this move us further from – not closer to – a solution. We need leaders who offer serious solutions to secure our border and fix our broken immigration system.”

Rubio’s statement follows what Trump said about illegal aliens two weeks ago in his presidential campaign announcement speech. “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best,” Trump said then. “They’re sending people that have lots of problems… they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Rubio joins people like Barack Obama’s 2012 presidential campaign co-chair and liberal actress Eva Longoria—who compared Trump to Adolf Hitler—and Univision programming president Alberto Ciurana–who compared Trump to Charleston, South Carolina, mass murderer Dylann Storm Roof. There are plenty of others throughout the mainstream media and institutional left who have slammed Trump as well, and some Republicans like former Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former New York Gov. George Pataki.

Sending out a link to a Breitbart California article detailing how one such illegal alien like the criminals Trump called out in his announcement speech allegedly murdered a woman in San Francisco on Wednesday, Trump launched his initial response at Rubio via Twitter: “Our Southern border is unsecure. I am the only one that can fix it, nobody else has the guts to even talk about it.”

“Our Southern border is totally out of control. This is an absolutely disgraceful. situation,” Trump added. “We need border security!”

“Where are the other candidates now that this tragic murder has taken place b/c of our unsafe border,” he added in another tweet. “We need a wall!”

In a fourth tweet, Trump sent a message directly to Rubio: “.@marcorubio what do you say to the family of Kathryn Steinle in CA who was viciously killed b/c we can’t secure our border? Stand up for US.”

“Mr. Trump will never apologize for wanting the American people to have a secure border,” the Trump adviser said. “He is the sole candidate who will secure our broken southern border by building a massive wall. The American people deserve a wall to protect their safety, jobs and economy.”

people LOVE to see conflict.  In the debates, which are typically a bunch of canned stump speech lines + a few "my opponent, whom I respect greatly, would like you to believe this policy..."

It'll be a whole new ballgame with trump in the debates.  Trump saying things like "This man is lying to you - Rubio, why are you lying, you're worse than obama" and instantly, Rubio's campaign is over like that.
