You couldn’t have expressed my feelings about Trump and today’s politics any better. Trump has that Mussolini aura about him. However, I truly believe that he loves America unlike our current Mussolini occupant.

It is a sad state of affairs that this country might need some kind of junta strongman to get us back on keel. Every man and woman should be fearful of one man rule. Perhaps it’s a necessary temporary righting of the ship, but will it remain temporary?

But when courts act as legislators and legislators surrender and succomb to executives and the electorate are emojicon bots; what is left of the American Republic?

At least Trump is NOT AFRAID to tell the TRUTH.

“Got to remember that Americans are watching their pennies.”

So true. All the more reason for free trade.

I am with you there. I am glad Trump is going after spineless/corrupt politicians and bureaucrats and the media.
I love watching them squirm and cry.

But remember, at first, in the beginning, Hitler and Mussolini were telling the truth too. Germany and Italy were screwed by the Treaty of Versailles after WWI. The reparations demanded by France and the Allies were outrageous.
That treaty alone predictably brought on WWII.

And as for tariffs. Roosevelt froze all Japanese assets in America resulting in a loss of 88% of Japan’s imported oil. This was 6 months before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

This is an outline. You will need to read the book for detail. Also, he is coming out with an update on 8/6.

Why? To go with a Looser—so as to let the RINOs trample us into Jeb Bush or Christie Cream>? “Why Jeb is the only one who can win” We heard this Mantra before—and we lost—Dole, McCain, Mittens. Is the GOP a real Party or a Stalking horse so Joe Biden can serve Obama’s 3rd Term?

UM If you win a Primary you should at least get LIP SERVICE. Or don’t you know that Republicans throw EVERYONE under the bus who supports enforcement of immigration laws. Besides we have to have a BIG TENT don’t we?

So much for their outreach to LATINOS. I live in Illinois where the Republican party Chairman Promotes Gay Marriage.

So you read it. What are some of the details?

>>Why? To go with a Looser—so as to let the RINOs trample us into Jeb Bush or Christie Cream>?

I don’t understand your question. I said that Cruz and Trump are occupying the same space (i.e. speaking to the “mad as hell and not going to take it anymore” folks, of which I am one) and that Trump is outshining Cruz in that space.

So I said that Cruz needs to step it up (and outshine Trump) and you go off on some RINO rant. WTF are you talking about? Nothing in my post pointed to a RINO or a need to go with the candidate that deemed “most electable” by the Prog press.

>>Is the GOP a real Party or a Stalking horse so Joe Biden can serve Obama’s 3rd Term?

Now, in answer to that question: NO, the GOP is not a real party. It is the Corporatist arm of the Progressive Party and it will try to shove a Corporatist Progressive down our throats so he can lose to the Populist Progressive.

The thinking, informed voter wants Cruz. The emotion driven voter wants Trump because he makes them feel good.

True....and as the campaign progresses, more voters will start paying attention and become "informed voters" as well....and it's reasonable to extrapolate that many of them will reach the same conclusions as the most informed voters have already reached. Over time and over every issue, Cruz is more solid than anyone, altho there are some other good ones who I could support with little or no problem. And a few I could support with a problem, and one or two I'm not sure I could support at all....

Trump may be the most talented, but it's too early in his conservative conversion to really know where he's going.

So glad you pointed that out. Along with Walter Williams, people should look up Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, John Stossel and others.......

People don’t seem to realize that a tariff is just another word for TAX. It protects a small handful of jobs while penalizing every customer and many other jobs. It’s just another lever of centralized control picking winners and losers.

If we got rid of our own domestic liberalism, we wouldn’t ever need a tariff on anything for any reason.

The biggest trade surplus was during the Great Depression. LOL.

And when the country was founded, did we have a “global economy?” Like the Muzzies, you want to go back 200 years? Obviously.

Enough is enough. The frustration of conservatives toward politicians is understandable and completely warranted. Republicans often get to Washington and don’t do what they say. But right now, we ought to be paying more attention to what Donald Trump is really saying, or we’ll rue the day he’s in a position to do anything.

Written by an establishment RINO...

I'm done voting for RINOs and fake conservatives.

So you're not voting this time around, eh???

.....”The thinking, informed voter wants Cruz. The emotion driven voter wants Trump because he makes them feel good......Until the voting starts just enjoy the show”.....

I agree, but will add informed voters like the “energy” Trump brings to the debate, he’s not only “charged up” voters to pay attention but he’s shaken the status quo...and that’s so well worth....

“Enjoying The Show”!

P.S. I expect we’ll see Trump and Perry go at it real strong....

I am not interested in arguing with you.

You can do your own research and find out the facts or you can continue to post misinformation. That is your choice.

Exports were 5% of GDP during the Great Depression. We made our own stuff back then.
