AMID CONTROVERSY, “THE DONALD” OPENS UP HUGE NATIONAL LEAD
|| By FITSNEWS || Nothing can stop “The Donald,” it would seem …
Amid his latest national controversy, billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump has opened up a double-digit lead on his nearest opponent for the GOP presidential nomination.
Trump received 24 percent support from “Republican” primary voters in the latest Washington Post-ABC News poll. That’s nearly a two-to-one margin over his nearest challenger – Wisconsin governor Scott Walker.
The poll was in the process of being conducted when Trump made his controversial remarks toward fiscally liberal U.S. Senator John McCain – calling the aging warmonger a “loser” and disparaging his military record.
McCain had previously attacked Trump’s candidacy and those embracing it – calling attendees at a Trump rally in Arizona “crazies.”
According to The Washington Post, “support for Trump fell sharply on the one night that voters were surveyed following those comments.”
Trump addressed the controversy in responding to the new poll numbers.
“People are tired of incompetent leaders and being pushed around at will by other nations, our enemies, and even our friends,” he said. “Politicians have completely failed the American people. We owe $18 trillion dollars, have porous and dangerous borders, and can’t even take proper care of our magnificent Veterans. If I become President I will do what I do best – fix these problems and Make America Great Again!”
In fact Trump one-upped that comment on his Facebook page, saying “we will soon be at a point with our incompetent politicians where we will be treating illegal immigrants better than our veterans.”
As we’ve stated repeatedly, Trump’s “say anything” candidacy is tapping into something bigger than itself. It’s literally a “Bulworth” moment in American politics, referring to the 1998 film which starred Warren Beatty as a politician who lost his filter.
His challenge (from our perspective)?
Finding specific pro-free market, pro-liberty policies to lend substance and credibility to his insurgent campaign – while simultaneously fending off the inevitable attacks about previous political positions he’s taken.
Trump has succeeded in getting everyone to pay attention to his candidacy. And he’s clearly shown he’s unafraid of the political and media establishments that “Republicans” typically try (unsuccessfully) to cozy up to.
Now he needs to find that next gear …

Can you imagine the Happy Dance Hillary is doing today?
I don’t know whether you are typical Republican establishment or a Kochsucker, but Trump is facing attack from both sides and is still kicking ass. The establishment is terrified of losing its power, and the Kochs are terrified of losing the investment they made when they bought Walker and Cruz.
You guys need to get on board or get out of the way because the people like what Trump has to say.
Hmm…Trump is surging, by showing how slapping the shit out of liberal idiots, like her, brings support in droves, while she sinks a little deeper each day, and her own party is beginning to piss on her.
You’re not much of a political scientist are you? (:
Go away! We don’t need support from people like you. Trump will have a positive message for Americans. Success. Foreigners may not like the message, but the people of this country will. I believe legal immigrants will as well.
In national polling Trump gets 22% of the voters. How you win with 22% I don’t know.
In the end, whoever the Republicans nominate will get 40%+ of the National vote, as will Hillary. The battle is over the 20% who are true Independents. Trump can win more than half of those.
Oh no, he can will of them, as an indy. No way in the world the RINO / Industrial class allows Donny to get GOP nomination.
He will not be an Indy, he will be a Republican. He will defeat the RINO industrial class I.e. establishment Republicans and the Kochs in the primaries.. Then he will convince Independents to vote Republican in the general.
Whatever you are smoking you need to share
No, Trump is surging by slapping the crap out of the other GOP candidates. He actually says very little about Senora Clinton. He’s attracting the under-educated, older GOP voters (i.e. Tea Party). Look at his demographics, he does best with white men and women, over 55, with no college, or some college. Once you get to GOP voters under 55 with a college degree or higher, his support falls off markedly. Karl Rove’s worse nightmare, the GOP has become home to under-educated angry whites – and now they’re all flocking around Trump. BTW – yesterday I told you it would be Hillary 46, Jeb 32 and Trump 22. You said I was an idiot – you “schooled me.” Well dumb@$$, why don’t you head out and look at the poll released yesterday with Trump in the lead. It polled people on a three-way race with HC, JB and DT – and the numbers – nearly exactly what I said. So shut your pie-hole!!!
As expected – crickets
No, I’m not, but if we’re left with a choice between Hillary & Trump to lead this nation; we can all kiss our butts goodbye. BTW, where were you when McCain was in residence at the Hanoi Hilton…Canada or hiding under the porch with The Donald?
Probably better one than you – stupid. #)$R*#)$(!!!!! $)#($*%#)($
The Koch Brothers, through the Comcerned Veterans for America, are turning on Trump. Thier state representative Daniel Brennan has tweeted disparaging comments about Trump and one tweet mentioned that the organization would issue a more formal statement later this week. That tweets appears to have been taken down.
The Kochs moving against Trump will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
.
You wish!!. The people do not want a Koch bought and paid for politician. They want a guy who speaks his mind, not the mind of David Koch. If the Kochs want the Presidency they need to run for the Presidency, and not put up a sock puppets like Walker and Cruz backed by their billions and doing what they are told.
Trump can’t be bought and that is why the Koch Brothers hate him; but the people like what he has to say.
Will? Is that you?
I am dropping out of that concerned veterans for America group. They hate Trump. They have a gay man with no military experience running South Carolina, and offer nothing but political red meat to an already inflamed situtaion.
Really? A gay man with no military experience running South Carolina? So many veterans are looking for jobs. Qualified people. The last thing we need is a gay activist running the Concerned Veterans for America.
The first thing we should do is hire the veterans who risk their lives for America, not fought for gay marriage.
The Kochs can’t stand the thought of having an independent president. They will torch Trump or anyone else that gets in thier way.
Kinda reaching, begging for someone to silence Trump, aren’t you? (:
He has you Dumasses shitting all over yourselves, simply by telling the truth, and pointing out who YOU are.
Suck it you carping little anti-American ASShole. This is our country. If you don’t like it, GTFO. Maybe Mexico will let you immigrate, you ingrate piece o shit. (:
There he goes again, with the shitting all over yourself reference. GrandTango can change his name but he can’t hide his writing style.
Or his fecal and gay sex fixations.
Tango, it’s our country. After Hillary wins, we’ll let you know if you can stay here.
*dumbasses
How many times are you going to post this?
Wow, FITSNews, what if you spoke the truth, instead of pussied-up to these repulsive and violent, Nazi-like Liberals?
You may attract the same level of respect and appreciation as Trump. And I Love seeing these carping and effeminate little littles shitting all over themselves. Trump shows how little it takes to make the media and the Democrat Party implode.
Go Trump. You are showing what courage to speak down to the left, and the Democrat Party can do for your popularity. We desperately need men and women with GUTS.
I am solidly for Trump but I hate he has to deal with support from people like you. Trump will be a President for all Americans. He will not leave behind the 47% Romney and his Republican establishment cohorts would abandon. And he will not bash people because of their political beliefs. He will convince them he is right by success. He is being attacked by the Republican establishment and the Koch Brothers right now, not “liberals.” You are not the kind of support we need, when this is a fight for Republicans and independents. Your ilk will drive the independents away.
You are correct that the Republican establishment, well represented by Lindsay Graham for instance, is the one shooting cannons at Trump.
And he will not bash people – seriously? Like he did with McCain? You realize don’t you that in Donald’s eyes, America is made up of Donald, and 350 million losers.
McCain started that squabble. Trump will have a positive Message in the campaign. It will be a big tent campaign with big ideas.
You are either an establishment Republican or a Koch minion.
Big tent = establishment Republican, you fucking idiot…
You had your chance and lost, again and again. When Trump is labelling losers, it’s you, Hillary and Obama, for what you’ve done to the country. Now go Fuck yourself with John McCain and Jeb Bush. (:
No you fucking idiot it doesn’t. Establishment Republicans are people who support the status quo. The Washington insiders with Washington ideas. AKA Bonher and McConnell. Trump is something totally new. That is why they hate him. You go fuck yourself with them. Which is where you belong. Fighting to divide America into camps instead of convincing America we need a new direction for success.
Ever hear of something called freedom, you stupid, Nazi, liberal son of a bitch? (:
Any candidate, especially Walker, backed by Koch money is threatened by Trump. The Koch’s front organizations will turn on Trump like mad dogs because his ascendancy undermines their chances of winning — and doing the bidding of David and Charles.
Walker loves him some Koch

Trump, the man who will not be president.
Who cares, as long as we extinguish the Democrat Party’s horrible assault on our country. Obama is trying to PURGE white people. That’s criminal, on top of being hateful. You MUST GO!!!
You have been the WORST 8 years since the Civil War, when Democrats were barred from holding slaves.
Bless your heart.
Fuck yours, you anti-American piece of shit. I hope when we get the White House, to go along with the House and Senate, and almost all Statehouses and governorships, we can begin a plan to deport treasonous bitches like you.
You need to GTFO my country. You side w/ ISIS and immigrants braking into our country over the men and women who give their lives and fortunes to build us into the best nation God has ever blessed on Earth.
You need to be the FUCK gone, you ingrate asshole.
PS: Forgive me for being too polite, but that’s just how I was raised, you fucking skank, fat, wine-red-faced ho’.
yikes
Unemployment 5.3%, few American families relying on two-income parents, more Mom’s at home, more people going to college, GM at an all time high, housing market back on its feet, Bin Laden dead, nuke deal done with Iran, trade deal coming with Asia. It must suck to be you. In the words of the great Donald Trump, “you’re a loooosa.”
When you split as many jobs in two, from FT to PT to avoid Obamacare expenses, do you realize how many people are NOT working FT?
We’re in the GREAT DEPRESSION II – You fucking idiot.
PS: Why is Hillary tanking, if Obama has such a great record?
Facts scare the crap out of you – don’t they? 5.3%, 5.3%. 5.3%. We’re in a Great Depression? With an expanding economy? You really are economically and politically illiterate. I’ve seen dead sea gulls with more brains than you have. Just a Breitfart repeater.
Bless your uneducated bigoted heart.
The worst terrorist attack in history began Jan. 20 , 2009 and with God’s help will end Jan. 20 , 2017.
No, but with a little luck he will be a wonderful GOP nominee.
SCBlueWoman, the woman who will be arrested and facing 10 yrs in prison soon.
He just keeps on saying what America needs to hear. He is not owned by anyone. Unfiltered truth. Damn, that is dangerous. LOL
“….soon be at a point with our incompetent politicians where we will be treating illegal immigrants better than our veterans….”
Haven’t we already pass that intersection – I recall something about veterans being put on “you will die before you can get an appointment program” at Veterans Hospitals all across the United States
I don’t recall any local non-military hospitals doing such – in fact on those occasions when I have gone to the Emergency Room everyone there, legal and illegal, appear to get treated equally
It’s disturbing to know that people are taking him seriously.
So do you support the Republican establishment or a Koch Brother employee?
Only in your mind. He has shot out so far ahead of all of them (even Bush), they can’t catch up. Trump is steady soring the polls. He will destroy Hillary. HAHAHA!!
LOVE how the right has embraced yelling and acting like an a$$ over any form of substance or ideas. Guess its just the natural progression of conservative think. “We don’t get what we want, so we just yell, kick, and pout louder”
Trump has just taken GOPer radio tactics to the stump.
I think everybody already knows I’m for Carson.
Nevertheless, Trump is a genuine political phenomenon happening among Americans and it genuinely frightens the RINOs and GOP Elite. The Rs and Es are scared to death that THEIR choice will not get by the voters they fooled in 2012. We strive to be a democratic Republic, but when almost everyone in Washington has succumbed to the siren-song of the Elite, there is no true representation.
Think about it. Truly rich and powerful people don’t want to hear from us, the voters. They want a benign monarch to keep power in THEIR hands. A Fascist Dictatorship (Buddy Capitalism) works the same for them, too.
The question for us voters is this: Can WHOEVER wins stave off the temptations of being co-opted? We know Democrats are already in their pockets or like Bernie, love the power of government. If you can answer that question, you’ll know whom to vote for. I’m sticking with Carson, but I understand the genuine attraction of the Donald, and believe him to be a serious candidate.
Double digit, and he hasn’t even done any UNION bashing yet!
UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People detest politicians. Trump won’t lose a net vote kicking any of them around.
Unstoppable man. And he really bitch slapped the hell out of Lindsey Graham before the entire world!!!!!!!!!!. Graham has to get a new number and alert all his tens of thousands of contacts of the same. HAHAHA!!
