Classic! Hillary is even scarier!!
Crooked business past? Have I missed something?
Trump said he new how to game the system legally, and used top people, "Killers" who could gin the tax system legally.
It's not a secret all the super wealthy do it, by using the tax wonks. He said he understands how that same system is screwing middle America on a massive scale. He made it and now wants to change some of it, turn it around and tweak it to where it starts benefiting regular income Americans.
Er...Knew how too!
Sounds good to me, and certainly not “crooked.”
I’d like to have a President who would admit “Yeah, I screwed up”. Because everyone does.

I am prepared to survive martial law.

Who in DC isn’t rich?
yup...
My husbands counter part who lives in Mexico City and runs a manufacturing business just texted my husband, asking him what he thought about Trump.
When a person is steeped in the ideas of Jefferson, Adams, Madison, and Washington, it just "naturally" slips through in the ideas they convey. Remember Reagan?
Do Republicans seriously want to conserve America's constitutional principles? Or, are they just objecting to Democrats? Do they have a passion for liberty? Is this just about changing the Party in power, or is it about preserving freedom?
If their concern is for convincing enough voters to reject the idea of "a government big enough to give you everyting you want" and turn to advocacy for "a government small enough to allow you freedom to keep most of what you earn," then they'd better get busy seeing that someone is nominated who has been "marinated" (to use an applicable word coined by Ingraham prior to the 2008 election on "The Factor") in the Founders' ideas (isn't that what conservatives purport to "conserve"?).
To whatever degree Trump or the other candidates display a lack of immersion, each has been "successful" in benefiting from those founding ideas, and though they may recite familiar words and phrases from patriotic speeches and songs, that is different from understanding and being able to call up and articulate the philosophy which made such freedom and opportunity possible.
Ronald Reagan's life and letters reveal that he had "immersed" himself in those ideas for years before he agreed to run for President,, and, though he may have joined the Democrat Party for a time, that immersion in founding ideas allowed him courage to change, and that is why he could set "issues" in light of constitutional "principle." and explain his advocacy or rejection of solutions by that light.
Some candidates couch their answers to questions in a manner which indicate personal pursuit and understanding of the Constitution's protections, each in his/her own way.
What America and the world desperately need now is a leader who successfully can articulate and distinguish the ideas of liberty underlying their Constitution from the competing "progressives'" "counterfeit ideas" of tyranny cloaked in words that may sound like justice and fairness, but throughout the history of nations have led to oppression and misery.
The hour is late: "politics as usual" must not win the day. Can some good and decent candidates who embrace founding principles come together quickly, combine their efforts as the Founders did in order to help to create a "passion" for liberty among citizens sufficient to defeat the counterfeit ideas which are leading the Republic to ruin?
The following is excerpted from "Our Ageless Constitution," p. 181, or here, in an essay entitled "Will the Great American Experiment Succeed?" co-authored by Dr. Russell Kirk.
"It was John Adams who said: "The foundation of every government is some principle or passion in the minds of the people." Clearly, the Founders' passion was liberty, and in order to secure that liberty, they sought out and incorporated into the United States Constitution those ideas and principles embodied in the Declaration of Independence.
"The French historian, Guizot, once asked James Russell Lowell, "How long will the American republic endure?" Lowell replied: "As long as the IDEAS of the men who founded it continue dominant."
"Herein lies the answer to the question, "Will the Experiment Succeed?"
"It can and will succeed IF the motivating "principle or passion in the minds of the people" is LIBERTY, and if that passion causes them to exert the determination and will to complete the needed restoration of the IDEAS upon which the great American experiment was based." ---(End of excerpted material)

The new Bloomberg/Des Moines Register sampling released on Saturday has the outspoken billionaire scoring a 61 percent favorability rating.
He’s calling the Presstitute Class out for what they really are. Whores. And Pimps.
yes
saying what we would all like to say to their scum faces
especially the left wing radical commie scum FOX & Murdoch
fantastic
the more they shoot the Trumpinator the strong he gets
i hate to say this to somebody as sincere and erudite as you seem to be but:
Trump is all we got. Stop looking for Thomas Jefferson; he’s dead.
they can read your e-mail; they can listen to your phone calls; they can watch you from space; their machines can pick you or your license plate out of a crowd; they can see through walls; they have a million men; they have unlimited cash; they can drone you or shoot you from 2 miles away; they have bullets that steer themselves; they can see in the dark; they and their machines are armored up to .50 cal; they can make you disappear; you or I are nothing.
politicicians can’t do that
only a leader can do that; a man with a track record
all politicians do is spew vomit-—i mean words....
