Is this the beginning of the end for Trump?

This just shows what a savvy operator Trump is.  Why do the work when someone has done it already for you? 

Trump is truly a great leader who doesn't micromanage and let's his lessers do the heavy lifting.

Out of everything that's happened in his campaign, why would this be the end?

You think this, out of every reason for Donald Trump not to hold the highest office on planet earth, is going to make the fu˘king morons hop off the Donald train? There is just about nothing Trumpinator can say at this point to get his 62 year old blue-collar high-school educated sweaty tank-top wearing mom base off his back end. Him attaining the office is the last of my worries, he would be eaten like scrambled eggs by Hillary in a general election. He would be so underwater in public view within the first 75 days of campaigning with the ridiculous things he will say and do that he has absolutely zero chance at coming close to Pennsylvania Avenue. My frustration is the 25% of the party allowing him to happen and the certain ignorant portion that are promoting him.

As much as I wish, you are far mistaken, friend o' mine.

Jeb has an I.Q. of probably 120 or 125, Trump is lucky if his I.Q. is 85.

Uh, sorry, Trump is smart. You can't be a skilled businessman like him without being smart.

That said, this should be a serious matter and it SHOULD take trump down a bunch in the polls - but odds are it won't.

How many "smart businessmen" do you know that started off with $200 million?

Like I said in another thread, Trump's supporters won't care about this so long as all the brown people go home.

This will have no effect on Trump. He can get away with doing things that kill political careers.

Why wouldn't the two candidates independently have similar ideas about one or two particular topics? After all, they are the candidates of the same party.

LOL at this being a scandal.

If I had a dime for every time someone asked that exact question on the internet, I would be a very wealthy man.

Couldn't agree more!  He's an empty suit,  the half Baked crap which comes out of Trump's mouth is as intelligible as the garbage which comes out of the mouth of Joe the palooka who hangs out in the bar mouthing off about this and that. Trump plagarizing Jeb Bush's policy proposals shows me one thing about Trump, the guy doesn't have an original thought in his head, that he doesn't hear on his twitter feed., looking at Trump in a debate is like looking at the prize bimbo in a college debate event. No substance and so the 25% which Trump has in his poll numbers,  reflect where his support comes from, the political sewer,  that's why the guy just insults and belittle anyone who opposes him or gets in his way. His the clown in the clown car at the circus, highly entertaining like a fender bender, but has no second act. The 25% who support him are too stupid and ignorant to know any better. No wonder the pig swill which Trump parrots gets him the 25%. He's like the class bully, he insults, he lies, acts like a buffoon and plagiarizes other people's work. The guy is way past becoming an outrageous embarrassment, he's gone further in the clown stakes than any candidate has gone before. He's a sad and angry individual.

There is one thing that could ruin Trump's entire political career: Saying that every American white male over 40 would immediately be sent to a newly built gas chamber in West Virginia after he takes office. Expect his poll numbers to drop to less than 3% if he comes around with that proposal.

Truly hilarious how the article tries to take both sides - hes no policy wonk and then says he has released more proposals than anyone unlike Rubio and Cruz. That needs to be a line of attack. We can't let these joke candidates stick around when they are not competent enough to understand and make policy. It will crush the serious people to discover that Trump is more serious than anyone.

Wow, so dudeabides was calling Jeb's policy proposals socialist all along!

Just when I was thinking how can this election season get any better!

The reality is, Donald Trump has released policy positions on fewer issues than Governor Bush, Senator Rubio, Senator Paul, Governor Kasich, Senator Cruz, and Governor Christie. So I am therefore left to judge him on his past statements and frankly, he hasn't denied taking those positions which tells me that it is quite plausible that he believes in them still. He has defended universal health care, he hasn't denied being against property rights, and his opposition to free trade shows a dislike for the free market. He's a socialist, these are not positions Jeb Bush has taken.

See the above post about how Rubio and Cruz have not released positions as stated in the article and Trump has written (or plagiarized) papers on a HUGE number of topics.
