Trump was right on the money all night long.

They want to fight their 15 year war with no end and keep killing Americans, AND they want to start another war.

Bush wants BWIII, Bush War III.

Rich Lowery is a traitor to this nation.

Whoever wants to get us out of that damn war is a patriot. I don’t want my son risking his life over there again so idiot politicians can put a feather in their cap.

FIFTEEN damn years they’ve been killing our sons and daughters. Lousy bastard traitors.

It’s that simple!

Kasich couldnt deliver Ohio and Obama won their twice. Kasich is a pussy who lets the democrats commit massive voter fraud in Ohio.

The only reason it wont happen this year is because Trump takes 25% of the black vote.

Piss off Kasich you LOSER.

Funny how there are no Kasich or Bush supporters on this Forum.

Rubio proved he is hispanic first with his accusation that Cruz doesnt speak spanish.

Cruz proved he is American first and that Rubio is a slick degenerate liar who has never had a real job in his entire life.

Trump proved he doesnt suffer fools gladly, that you mess with him or the USA and he will bite your head off , that the politicians are all talk and no action, havent stopped Obama from doing ANYTHING and let him run up another 12 trillion in debt and drive out the American manufacturing base overseas.

Bush proved that he is a mental case that brings out his 90 plus year old mother out in the snow with her walker to campaign for him, she will break her hip any day now and he will blame Trump.

Carson proved he has a website and that he should go back to brain surgery, much better use of his talent than running for President.

Trump and Cruz continue to show they are the only ones worthy of consideration.

If he damages himself with the voters of the other Republican candidates, then 33% may be all the votes he will rack up in the general. This, I think, is something folks around here ought to weigh a little more carefully when responding to each other. Persuade rather than ridicule. Earn votes for your guy, don’t drive them into sitting home in the general.

You’d have to agree that part of what has so many sick and tired of politics as usual is that a candidate had been put forth that requires too many to have to have to hold their noses while voting (I know I am). If candidates are stinking up the place with their nasty or potty-mouth tactics, it is likely that voters are, once more going to go into November with the same old problem.

Will this time be the time that folks sit out election day choosing principle over expediency? We’d all better think real carefully about this before we start bombing each other and further (not saying you are doing this personally, but we both know that is the regular pattern around here).

After waking and having cup of java, I sit down to read and can’t believe the comments on most threads here on FR. Did I watch the same debate as the rest of these folks?
I saw a rabid dog come out last night. He was screaming, insulting and further more, Quite NASTY as he likes to claim others are. To me he acted
Anything but Presidential. Between his vitriol and the audience(stacked against anti-establishment) and the moderators, it was a colossal slugfest.
My stomach was turning with the added death of a great Supreme.
This is going to get worse before it shakes out.
God Bless America.

My biggest problem with Bush is that he took us into Iraq, wasted SO MUCH MONEY and SO MANY LIVES but wouldn’t let our military do their job. He played footsie with the muslims and dragged it out too long.

I don’t know if he lied or not, but he sure was wrong about the WMD.

The dems need to be banished from American history and outlawed.

No matter what GW Bush said, they were going to say the opposite.

If Bush had said there are no WMDs in Iraq, the dems would say he was in cahoots with Sadam.

If Bush had said we were not going to invade Iraq, the dems would declare he was derelict in protecting our national security.

Maybe just once, JUST ONE TIME, the dems inadvertently aligned near the truth when they said “Bush Lied, People Died”.

Question: if the rats manage to accidentally, unintentionally tell the truth, does that mean conservatives should shun such truth if it were coming from dems?

You’re right, it doesn’t feel comfortable. But when Donald Trump, and also Ben Carson, both say that the Middle East has always been ruled by dictators, that removing one or another results in destabilizing the region, should this fact be ignored because disgusting corrupt dems back it up?

I’m coming around to Donald and Ben’s view. We did lose thousands of great men in Iraq. We did spend trillions there. It was not worth it because we are not an empire and we don’t have a political system that cares to sustain a long-term occupation in foreign hostile regions unless we completely defeat the enemies (assuming we have a clear enemy) and reduce the region to complete misery and submission as was the case in WWII. We are never going to nuke Mecca unless, and perhaps, a mushroom cloud is seen over an American city.

So regardless if Bush lied, or Bush did not lie, or he lied unknowingly, fine American men did die. And in retrospect, with near 20/20 hindsight, it was not worth it.

And allow Hillary to waltz in and finish off the country before your very eyes? Then you can take your principle and comfort yourself with it.

I like Trump. He fought back. It is time we had someone who will fight.

I just don’t see how anyone else is going to beat him for the nomination…what’s going to change? I think he can beat Hillary. Look at NH, he won all demographics.

Trump has the highest dislike of all of the candidates. That’s a fact, Jack. People will vote for Sanders first. He has alienated a hell of a lot of people.Including me. The country is voting for a celebrity who has an ego bigger than the grand canyon and who’s in it for himself. If that means he makes more money and goes to all of the coolest parties and you can’t see that.........

The high watermark for him was NH with 37%.
I don’t see him breaking that number once all the way thru super Tuesday. With current field it could be enough to win in several places.

Look at the long game. Trumps negatives are too high.

Would we want to risk a high negative candidate against another high negative candidate in Clinton?

In that scenario it comes down to voting mechanics on election day and the D would win.

Too much at stake to risk that.

Again though, Trump is leading his opponents almost everywhere by double digits…those polls were verified by NH’s real voters across the spectrum. So any argument your making against Trump must then be applied two-fold to the rest of the field.

I just made a quick check of your forum page to see where you are coming from.

About the first post I saw was one where you claim Trump was in favor of single payer, a well known lie and ploy of crazed Cruz-bots.

Can you come up with something original?

You do realize polls for the general are worthless. Reagan was DOA when he won the nomination and so will Trump.

He should not call Bush a liar or responsible for 911, but he won the rest of the debate even though he was going against the entire room.

Pray America wakes

Trump’s debate was largely because of the audience being loaded with Bush and Rubio donors, and the faux-moderators. He had to fight back and he did. Wasn’t pretty, but needed.

Bush ignored warning signs of 9/11. In that way he was partially responsible. Clinton was more responsible, But Bush has some blame.

No I can’t and I have no inclination to fetch rocks for you. However a quick search found this:

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
2) Trump said Planned Parenthood does “many wonderful things for women’s health” while trying at the same time to dismiss abortion. Keep in mind Planned Parenthood CEO Cecile Richards makes this same argument in order to keep $500 million in taxpayer funding each year. The abortion giant repeatedly claims it only uses taxpayer money for women’s health, not for abortion, ignoring the fact that money is fungible.

If you want to explain what wonderful things that Planned PArenthood does that warrants taxpayer money feel free to defend your idol. Cruz fought to defend the mass murderers Trump disagrees. Post where Trump says the taxpayers should provide any money to Planned PArenthood.
