I hear you, betty boop. I have never considered myself a Republican, but rather a conservative.

Great analysis, Hostage — thank you so very much for your insights.

I have never considered myself a Republican, but rather a conservative.

And heaven knows, there's nothing conservative about the Republican Party anymore. If the party were conservative, surely it would not be giving the back of its hand to its conservative base.

Thanks trisham!

I have no faith in most of them. Politicians as a group tend to be parasites.

.....”there’s nothing conservative about the Republican Party anymore”.....

That is true so then ‘who’ couped ‘OUR’ Party?......and what part of the Republican Party did we actually have sway with if any? ...............The test of time has shown very little..... Or is it just the power ‘stronghold’ in Washington is so evil and full of corruption it swallows up those we send there because they either play their game or they’re out to of the loop?

I have many unanswered questions for the who and reasons are as varied as the sand in the sea anymore. There’s so much dirt in Washington and Corporate America anymore that to be honest has become evil when entering their doors.

As I see it what we have in Cruz, Trump,Carson,Jindal and precious others standing by in Washington is a potential taking over completely the Governing powers that have crippled our Governance, Industry and overall Nations Security.

And so...if this election doesn’t move that mountain in Washington....THEN WHAT??????

Seems to me it's been Good Guy, Bad Guy for many elections..
One cycle the Good guys WIN.. the Next the Bad guys..

Could BE the Angst has hit the FAN... I don't think TRUMP had any Idea "this" would arouse the RUBEs so much..
He's just riding it like a rented Donkey..

When I look back at past elections they really seem scripted.. "set up"..
I've lived thru many elections..

A comedy of errors.. The so-called parties, the press, the news readers, the networks.. and then OBAMA... was the candle on the cake..

NOW TRUMP... the RUBES have Limited-Out on the good guy scam..
Fortunately theirs Ted Cruz.. waiting like Mighty Mouse to Save the Day..

[caww]

It really is getting wacky out there....the other candidates haven't been able to even get hardly front and center and with all the news going to Trump they cannot sustain their campaigns at this pace. Ol' Carly's out there whining about not being at the next debate....I tend to think they will tweak it for her....then the others will yell foul play of course.

I don't think we've seen the end of this wacky election by far.....and frankly I think Hillary's quite ill and they're hiding it. Thus we have Bidens and Warren being primed. I said before Hillary wasn't well enough to sustain a campaign and they;ve surely kept her quiet for the most part.... I'm not sure Trump can sustain his pace...it will ebb...but this whole thing is really bizarre....I'm staying with Cruz as you know.....

I’m not arguing your points, I’m simply of the opinion that someone who knows how to run International businesses, can do just as good as a career politician can, and lest we forget Ronald Reagan who I admired for so many reasons also held “liberal” views AND donated to liberals in his time on earth.

I’m saying people CAN change, but I’ll say it this way.

Don’t call people Trumpbots, that doesn’t sound “Conservative” that sounds like a Liberal scared that Trump might actually do what he says, I din’t tell you to shut up, I simply said let it go. People aren’t gonna be swayed by your running off at the mouth.

---

CEOS of large businesses do not run business they hire people to run them.. and fire them if dont succeed..

And TRUMP could run the Federal Givernment like a business...

WHICH IS THE EXACT PROBLEM.. the federal givernment IS A BUSINESS... with government business people and clients..
Thats what all this is about.. the federal givernment being a business is exactly
WHAT COMMUNISM IS... Also Fascism.. even Monarchy.. i.e. CHINA..

THIS MUST STOP... and problem with TRUMP with being PRESIDENT..

AND also WHY? Ted Cruz should be President.. to pull the federal givernment out of the ECONOMY as much as possible..

Ronald Reagan has never been a valid comparison to liberal Donald Trump. Reagan was a conservative decades before he ran for president. We can't say that about Trump as he is a liberal to this day.

I’m saying people CAN change, but I’ll say it this way.

But there is no reason to believe Trump has changed a thing simply because he is saying what people want to hear during an election cycle. It is campaign rhetoric. What candidate doesn't make promises? We must always look at their history and Trump's history says he is a liberal and as such, cannot be trusted.

Don’t call people Trumpbots, that doesn’t sound “Conservative” that sounds like a Liberal scared that Trump might actually do what he says

Trumpbot is mild considering what they have called me. And I have never understood why anyone would equate me to a liberal for rejecting liberal Donald Trump. That just makes no sense.

I simply said let it go. People aren’t gonna be swayed by your running off at the mouth.

I have no illusions that any Trumpbot will be swayed, anymore than I have reason to believe your telling me to "let it go" will persuade me to do so.

Trump is a liberal. That you failed to even attempt to refute my list tells me you know that is true. And as I said before, I will not stop fighting for conservative principles in this conservative forum, nor will I stop my critiques of what I know to be a charlatan liberal pretending to be a conservative. You are free to ignore my posts if they bother you but I will not "let it go".

Have a good night.

Unfortunately, after 6 years, I have come to the conclusion that your evaluation of Trump’s motivation was correct. Big ego, got to prove to daddy he is the greatest. Unfortunately, after he allowed Fauci to sideline him from a possible life saving attack on Covid, Biden has made the same mistake which has cost over half a million lives. Fortunately, thirty years ago I read his book on Art of the Deal, applied some of the principles described which has definitely improved my bottom line.
