George Washington would want his name taken off The District of Corruption

The wonderful thing about asking what some historical figure would say about something is that you then get to try to vest your own personal opinion with that figure’s authority.

I’d love to have Trump come to one of my parties. I’d probably have to make extra BBQ, though. I imagine a lot of folks would drop by.

You’re not kidding. There’s a joke floating around the ‘net somewhere as to what happens when he meets up with 72 Virginians who beat the crapola out of him ... hehe

There are two aspects to consider (theory and practice):

1. Trump’s stated policy positions.

2. Whether he would do what he says, if elected.

You judge Part 1 on whether you agree with what’s he saying. IMO he’s saying the right things on immigration, 2nd Amendment, and foreign policy.

You judge Part 2 on things like the testimony of people like Jack Welsh who have done business with him.

I’m certain that, on seeing America and what we’ve exported around the world, Washington would swim to England and apologize to George III.

Washington would be appalled by the arrogant godlessness of the current administration
As well as the country as a whole.

The question this raised for me is what would Trump have done in 1776? Would he have been a signer? Would anyone in DC be a signer?

{”he would know exactly to apologize to, he’d apologize to God.}

He warned about what would happen if we turned away from God, and here we are.

I’d be more interested in what George thinks of Obama.

I think he wouldn’t be too impressed, although he’d probably recognize him as one of the bombastic types rather than quiet, intellectual as others.

Personally I think Carson is more the Washington type. (And no, he was not a “Washington” surgeon, but a Baltimore surgeon, thank you very much.) And I think that is part of his appeal, unbeknownst to many voters.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get what people see in Ben Carson?

Donald Trump is one of the very few people involved in national politics that actually understands the Bill of Rights, and by extension, the Natural Rights of Man.

“The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law-abiding Americans,” Trump continued to read.

The Constitution doesn’t create that right; it ensures that the government can’t take it away,” he added to further cheers from the crowd.

Trump speaks like a FReeper.

The author could just read George Washington’s “Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour.” Then I think he wouldn’t need to ask the question.

I would guess that much of Carson's numbers is a media creation, like those of FioRINO. I like Carson, don't get me wrong. I also like the way he pulled a Trump and stood up to the concern trolls over the Muslim issue.

He doesn't have what it takes to beat the Uniparty slime like rented mules. Trump does.

I just don’t get how he’s more qualified for that job than you, me or any random citizen. I have much more foreign policy, executive, government and political experience than he does. So does the average GS-18, O-5 and above or mayor.
