I was reading the new tonight and found this. I agree with this. He is anti-GOP establishment. They fear him to be honest. He can't be bought with campaign money or backing. He has only used his own money and gets his own support. To me this looks like the death of the GOP establish. It was only a matter of time. In the past you had the Tea Party come out and take it on but they didn't defeat it. Now Trump is taking on the establishment and is smashing it. They are trying everything and they can't handle him. This time the establishment is losing and losing bad. To me he will be the new face of the new party. What kills me is that how many people are doubting him. He is so much support that he has to be onto something. He is killing his competition but they don't view as a real option. His turn out in Nevada was huge. He had more votes for himself than people that voted in the last primary.
What do you think about this? I am not really concerned about his overall attempt as being the next POTUS. I am more focusing on what he is doing to the party that he is aligned with.

Breaking the partisan stranglehold by both main stream parties is long overdue. If it happens to be Trump the leads the way so be it. Although Sanders is somewhat of threat to the Dem's he is nowhere near the loose cannon Trump is. Our two party system is a failure in its present state. It's no different than a building with a condemned foundation, your only remedy is to rebuild.

He has insulted and criticized Latinos, calling them killers and rapist. He blamed violent crime in major cities on my people and Latinos. He is the face of a party that demographically is made up of 93% of one race. I think he is trying to push the needle to 100%

Not a Trump fan at all. I must note that the party which you suggest is 93% white gave a plurality of its support in Iowa to two Senators of Latino heritage in the hope of not seeing this man as its face. Those Senators will continue to split the "other than Trump" vote, perhaps until it is too late.

MAJ (Join to see) - The point I may have not made very well is that through his rhetoric, he has no interest in changing or including others into a party that sorely lacks diversity. It may win him the nomination, however his lack of discretion will make it difficult for him to win the general election

CPT (Join to see) Seeing the establishment mobilizing to deter Trump enchants me! Per an earlier email, would their last ditch effort would be to have a 'Chicago' "young man" do him in? Or would they use the mafia?

CPT (Join to see), I honestly don't know how I'm going to vote. I'm a republican but I'm am so conflicted this time around.

I would rather have Sen. Rubio with a lot to learn and be willing to learn it, than Trump or someone else that does not want to learn. JFK was a president with a lot left to learn, I am not saying that Rubio is a Republican modern day version, but look at how he learned in his few years in office.
