Many lost voters have found their candidate....

[Belle]

...in Trump. 

In Reuters/Ipsos polling from June to December 2015, 27.3 percent of these “new” voters said they would vote for Trump, higher than his poll numbers among independents and Republicans who regularly vote.
By way of comparison, Cruz captures just 3.4 percent of these voters. And Senator Marco Rubio of Florida snags only 4 percent.

Some examples:
- Ted Wade, 51, switched his party from D to R & attended a Trump rally in Las Vegas.  "I'm tired of the chaos between Democrats and Republicans and want to give somebody a try who I think can make a difference."
- Renay Cunningham, 56, AZ "plans to cast her first ever vote for Trump after hearing his proposed policies to curb illegal immigration..."
- Ronald Thomas, 49, truck driver & Navy veteran in NC, & he "has never voted in a presidential contest." He's now motivated to register so he can cast his vote for Trump.
- Vince DiSylvester, 73. Missouri, also never voted for president.  "He's a businessman, he knows business, he knows how to get things done."

Trump, the Republican front-runner, has made targeting “lost” voters such as Wade a focus of his campaign. His anti-immigrant rhetoric and protectionist trade proposals have helped him to fashion a message tailored to reach Americans alienated by the endless enmity between the political parties and who, because of declining economic prospects, may feel like neither party has done much for them.

Granted I don't live in lib nightmare country but today I was walking and as is my wont, happened upon yet another black man out doing yard work he is supposed to be too lazy to perform...we went THERE and lots other places.  I have a new like-minded spirit pal, lol!  He hates Obola and agrees with me that the man is a sad, sorry excuse for the first black Prez and he supports my wish to not have Hillary as MY first woman rep!  Suck it, dems you are losing your core base to my guy.  BTW he said he did not like the rest of the R field, mostly cuz he considers himself socially liberal, assuming that includes gay marriage and choice up to a month or two, but hard line on law Anand safe borders and lower taxes.  I don't believe ideological purity various aspirants claim serve the party very well in the general election.  People are demanding action from a proven DOER.  Has anyone on either side created tens of thousands of jobs except Trump?

Dems supporting Trump?  Shocker. 

[Boudicca]

Dems supporting Trump?  Shocker. 

You would prefer them to support HilLiar or Crazy man?

[txradioguy]

They will anyway. 

[Lacarnut]

Dems supporting Trump?  Shocker. 

Blacks, minorities, Repubs, Independs, Dems voting for Trump equals a winner.

Trump 2016

You really think they're gonna show up on election day to vote for him?

Have fun with your delusion.

[Fourwinds]

I wish I could see into the future. I have no idea if it will be Cruz or Trump getting the nomination.  I do know this though,  I'll  be voting for whoever gets it. If it's Trump I'll be damned if I just stay home. I'd rather take the risk with him than go with the hellish certainty of what a Hillary administration will do to us.

[Lacarnut]

Not delusional. Not taking your opinion to the bank.

Trump will win the nomination and destroy Hillary if she is the nominee.

[txradioguy]

Trump will win the nomination and destroy Hillary if she is the nominee.

And why should we take your opinion to the bank?

I mean think about it...if Conservatives and Republicans know all this stuff about trump already....don't you think the Sanders and Clinton camps know it too?

Don't you think they might have more on Trump since...even as last as this summer he sounded like a RINO?

Wait until they bring forward the illegal alien steel workers from Poland that Trump used to build Trump Tower.

You're way too sure of yourself this far before the election.

Be careful what you predict.

Trump is the front runner in every poll except Iowa. One thing I am sure of is you are more of a cult follower than I am. Plus, you despise Trump.

Wait till they dig further in Cruz loans, finance and his wife's employment at G.S. No one is perfect...even Ronald Reagan.

Who is the only candidate that was against the Iraq war.  The rest of them were for it. Cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars, and what do we have to show for it. I know, let's blame Obama for leaving too soon. The rag heads have been fighting each other fore-ever, and that will never change.

Why should we take your opinion to the bank. Say hello to President Trump.

hillary has kept hundreds, of not thousands, of FBI, CIA and NSA investigators employed for quite some time.  Of course, the results of their efforts are round-filed so...

[txradioguy]

Trump is the front runner in every poll except Iowa.

And the fact that Cruz overtook him in Iowa is why he started the politics of personal destruction and repeating the words of Mitch McConnell and John McCain where Ted Cruz is concerned.  He went...on the birther issue...from saying it was s dead issue that his lawyers had looked at from every angle to making it the focal point of his Cruz bashing.

Why?  Because Cruz overtook him in the polls in Iowa.  He pulled a Liberal trick. 

Classy.

One thing I am sure of is you are more of a cult follower than I am.

Nope just a realist.

Plus, you despise Trump.

Nope don't despise him.  Like I said...I've defended him here when CC member TheStranger was trying to rake him over the coals about corporate bankruptcies.

And again when the MSM ripped him for his John McCain comments.

So I don't despise him.

But I believe that if he's stepped in it...he should be taken to task for it.

And he's stepped in it with both feet here.

Wait till they dig further in Cruz loans, finance and his wife's employment at G.S. No one is perfect...even Ronald Reagan.

You don't think that the Libs are already doing the same thing with Trumps finances?  EVery business deal he's ever done in every country he's built buildings in?

If you don't think that the Dems are ready to pull this exact same stunt on Trump you're lying to yourself.

Reagan was far from perfect....no one here is saying otherwise.  There's no such thing as a perfect man or a perfect candidate.

Who is the only candidate that was against the Iraq war.  The rest of them were for it. Cost us thousands of lives and trillions of dollars, and what do we have to show for it. I know, let's blame Obama for leaving too soon. The rag heads have been fighting each other fore-ever, and that will never change.

<----DU is that way. 

Why should we take your opinion to the bank. Say hello to President Trump.

You sound like every screaming spittle flying wild eyed Ronulan we've ever mocked then kicked off this forum.

[txradioguy]

Has anyone on either side created tens of thousands of jobs except Trump?

How does that singularly qualify him to be President?

[J P Sousa]

  Ronald Thomas, a 49-year-old truck driver and Navy veteran in North Carolina, said he, too, has never voted in a presidential contest. His girlfriend would push him to vote but he would always say "Yeah, but the right one ain’t come along yet,’” Thomas said.

Trump is that man. His willingness to take on the government has set him apart as someone who would "actually look out for the people," said Thomas. Now he wants to know how to register so that he can vote for the billionaire.
   

Maybe he will never find out "how to register". 

[Chris_]

Maybe he will never find out "how to register". 

49-year-old Mr. Thomas hasn't been inside a library in a very long time.  The lobby of every public library here has a trove of government paperwork, everything from how to weed your garden to filing your taxes.

[Boudicca]

However all of these are government workers whose salaries have to be paid by private sector employees!  I know of exactly one candidate who has actually created them.
Txradioguy since you asked in another thread, while that sole fact doesn't qualify him to be president, considering how broke the economy is, it would be nice to have someone up there with knowledge on building a company to create jobs instead of spending their careers talking about how to create jobs.  Obviously anyone can say anything on the House or Senate floor but one reason people are mad as hell at government is everyone talks and no one gets anything accomplished!

The way things get done is less talking and more doing.

Careful how you bash "government workers" there.  Your blanket backhand catches those of us in uniform as well who are also technically "government workers".

And last time I checked...government employees pay taxes too.  So they are helping to pay their own salaries.  Your attempt to make it look like government employees are leaches who live off the backs of "tax payers" falls pathetically flat.

We had one of those before.  Herbert Hoover.  He laid the foundation for The Great Depression and FDR.

And anyone can stand in front of a microphone...steal a Reagan campaign catch phrase and talk about "making America great again".

The way things get done is less talking and more doing.

Trump should take your advice.

You need not tell me about the military being considered government workers, although as a Constitutional conservative you also know that unlike most, their existence is specifically provided for in the Constitution.

My father served in the Air Force for 20 years, I served 6 in the Army and my husband 30, so I am hardly giving a diss to the military.

And yeah no duh on paying taxes. 

[txradioguy]

You need not tell me about the military being considered government workers, although as a Constitutional conservative you also know that unlike most, their existence is specifically provided for in the Constitution.

And yet you made the silly statement about government workers getting their pay checks off the back ot taxpayers.

My father served in the Air Force for 20 years, I served 6 in the Army and my husband 30, so I am hardly giving a diss to the military.

And yet you did.  You knee jerk so fast and lash out at anyone criticizing Trump you don't realize who you're hitting with your broad brush.

And yeah no duh on paying taxes.

Really?  Not so "no duh" if you're having to be reminded about that fact.  But then people who give themselves concussions knee jerk reacting tend to overlook the simple facts.

I lash out?  Yeah, you have absolutely been the voice of reason lately!
You and I are going absolutely nowhere with this and it's getting petty and peevish, so as far as I'm concerned I am off to engage in something beyond endless bickering.  We see enough of that in D.C.

[obumazombie]

- Vince DiSylvester, 73. Missouri, also never voted for president.  "He's a businessman, he knows business, he knows how to get things done."

Vince doesn't seem to know how to get voting for President done.
The greatest predictor of future performance is past performance.
Dude is stuck in a short deep rut.
Dude will spend the rest of his life not voting for President.

Boudicca:

Yes, agree.
Washington's a bubble all by itself; oh, the liberals (R & D) get very busy & animated when passing pork (eg. Omnibus).
(2) reps, Darrell Issa & Trey Gowdy. what have they accomplished in their political theatre committees?
For example, far as I know, nothing of substance came out of the Fast & Furious & the Benghazi committees.
The only thing I know Trey Gowdy did, out of committee, was to campaign for Rubio.

Yep, TRX is a legend in his own mind. If you disagree with him, you are a cult follower like Dr. Nuts, a commie and should join DU.

Is that anything similar to disagreeing with you and getting called a RINO?  See that cuts both ways.

And just for fun you throw in a complete lie at the end.

See this is what amuses me about people that blindly jump on the bandwagon for someone.  They can't stand honest debate.  They don't want to engage in facts.  And once they run out of propaganda to spew...they resort to what you see above.
