He’s not a jerk, he’s a savvy competitor, and he’s our savvy competitor now.
Does anyone REALLY think Donald will let let himself be beaten by Hillary after coming so far?
Donald is brilliant and tireless, and he knows ALL the dirt on the criminal Hillary. Not being PC crippled and spineless as the rest of the politicians, he will hit her with ALL of it.
He will SLAUGHTER her.
He’s isn’t a jerk.
Not a yuge fan of The Donald but it’s #NeverHillary from now on.
He can also lose. Only he can control which happens.
Save the “jerk” description for someone who has not, since first entering politics 11 months ago, knocked out the largest and strongest field of GOP contenders in history, winning across all demographic segments with large margins, bringing in millions of new voters to the Republican party, and paying for his cost-effective campaign out of his own pocket.
I realize you didn’t write it but it demeans what we have just witnessed, an historic primary race.
Dr. John is a jerk! lol
Can he win? He is our nominee so we really have no choice now. Hilary will trot out his inconsistencies so let’s see how he handles them.
It is now time for everyone to unite behind Donald Trump, regardless of who you supported during the primaries. Staying home and giving Hillary the White House out of spite because your guy didn’t win is short sighted and dangerous. It may give you a temporary feeling of satisfaction (”that’ll show em’!), but will that sense of satisfaction stay with you for the next 4 to 8 years? Do you support building a wall along the southern border? Hillary will never build it. Do you support strict enforcement of immigration laws? Hillary will never do it. Do you want to stop tens of thousands of Syrian “refugees” from streaming into the country? Hillary will welcome them with open arms. Do you want to see conservative judges appointed to the Supreme Court and other federal judgeships? Hillary will never appoint them. Do you want to see the butchers at Planned Parenthood prosecuted for selling body parts from aborted babies? Hillary will never prosecute them. Go down the list of all of the issues that are important to you, and ask yourself who is most likely to act on these issues in a manner that is consistent with your position on those issues. Maybe Donald Trump won’t give you EVERYTHING you want, but it’s for damn sure that Hillary won’t give you ANYTHING you want. If you stay home on election day, can you live with that?
Only moron nobodies in a 2nd rate media hole in the ground could call a great American President-in-the-making a ‘jerk’.
Some people have built their Temple of Conservatism. It has it’s Commandments that must be obeyed. Anyone who violates these Commandments is a heretic. A problem is that the traditional monolithic concept of a conservative isn’t working. No one is going to win by following Rush Limbagh’s advice. The GOP as a traditional entity is dead. Moreover the 50’s aren’t coming back.
We are in a battle. The Wills and Cristols and such (agents of international anti-American interests like the IMF and Soros and Gates) are going to do everything they can to keep us under heel. If they win we can look forward to an Earth with a population of 600 million... A mass murder scheme of unprecedented proportions. TheBushes and Clintons and all their ilk are agents of this unparalleled evil.
Something must change. Will Trump be an agent of change? I don’t know. But I do know that any other option at this time is off the table. At this point I see anyone who is willing to see Hillary be President as an enemy. I don’t want to leave a world where my grandkids will have their entire lives mapped out by bureaucrats and psychologists. If they aren’t simply determined as excess by some future Hillary.
Yes. She is that evil.
A jerk??? How do you define “jerk?”
This guy is brilliant. I don’t like some of his ranting, but what he says about matters of substance, he is right on.
He is just what we need at this place in history. Thank you Lord!!
One more time...
WHY WOULD WE ELECT PRESIDENT A GUY WHO...?
Why would this country elect as president some guy who was known to regale friends with nigger* jokes, grew up with a boyhood hatred of slavery because his father regularly hired him out for heavy manual labor then confiscated his earnings, had a history of depression, was suicidal from time to time (in his defense, probably due to the death of his young son, but suicidal nonetheless) and eventually started an internecine war ostensibly to halt a slavery that was, due to its inherent inefficiency, fading out – and during which he thoroughly trampled the Constitution he claimed he was attempting to preserve – that took the lives of over 700,000 troops and civilians and...
What? Oh, yeah. That was LINCOLN! never mind!
*A corruption of another word now freely used by blacks around the world when referring to one another. To NOT have written the word here would be to accord the dark forces of political correctness an inappropriate and destructive victory of which Orwell’s Thought Police would be proud.
And why would we elect as president a retired military guy who was accurately reputed to have a very, very foul mouth and an alcoholic and...
What? Oh, that was U.S.Grant. Sorry.
Why would we elect to the presidency and fellow who was well known for his hyperbolic and profane bluster during his campaigns and while in the office and..? That would have been Teddy Roosevelt who, when faced with a recurrence of the trouble with the muslims in the Med that plagued Mr. Jefferson, successfully backed them down.
Why would we elect president some guy who was not healthy and smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day, married his fifth cousin then had a notorious affair with his secretary and had as his closest adviser one Harry Hopkins, who, during a trip to a Maryland racetrack and around 5 martinis into a bad day at the races , was overheard by a reporter to enunciate his and his boss’s philosophy of government:
“TAX AND TAX, SPEND AND SPEND, ELECT AND ELECT. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE TOO DAMN DUMB TO UNDERSTAND!”
What? Oh, sorry, that was FDR!
And why would the American people put in the Oval Office a man who, while overseas running the war in Europe and another 3 pack-a-day smoker, was schtupping his secretary while his wife was back here tending to the family and just prior to D-Day, scheduled a poorly planned, ill-fated live-fire practice for the Normandy invasion (Exercise Tiger) that got over 700 American troops KILLED – HAD THEM BURIED IN A MASS GRAVE – THEN COVERED IT UP!
Oh, sorry. That was Republican DWIGHT EISENHOWER. Moving on...
How about another Democrat whose father was a bootlegger who thought fighting the Nazis was a bad idea but who, to his credit served honorably in the Pacific and managed to get his PT boat sliced in half by a Japanese destroyer but redeemed himself by getting his crew rescued. Running against Nixon in the 1960 race, this same married chap, whose handlers thought he was a bit “tense” before the first televised debate, took him out and got him laid. (That certainly relaxed him as he won the debate.) Once in office, this fellow had numerous extramarital affairs with mob molls and several Hollywood stars, Marilyn Monroe among them and...
Oh yeah. That was JFK. never mind.
(For an interesting aside re. that event and the role a leftist media type played in that debate, please see the footnote below. If you’ve watched the current debates, you understand that THEY STILL DO.)
And then there was this character from Texas who, after his friends counted the ballots and reported him barely ahead in a close race for the Senate, was shocked – just shocked –that the very night before the recount, would you believe it? — the courthouse burned down, destroying the ballots! Like Lincoln, “nigger” was a regular part of his crude vocabulary. This fellow was a notorious womanizer and drunk whose favorite technique for reprimanding errant subordinates was to call them into the lavatory while he moved his bowels. Classy, huh?
Then he...What? You say that was LBJ? never mind.
How in the WORLD could we elect to the presidency some guy who was a 60s socialist radical, later married one even more radical than himself, wangled multiple deferments from MILITARY SERVICE while other kids his age were humping through the bush in Vietnam dodging bullets and who was – and IS – a woman abuser and engaged in sexual misconduct in the Oval Office with at least one young intern then, under oath, perjured himself about it and...
What? Oh, right, that was BILL CLINTON! never mind!
But why the heck would we elect some guy raised by grandparents and some pornographer — all three of whom were on FBI “Communist Watch” lists in the 50s and 60s (back when the FBI actually did its job of trying to protect US) – and whose mother posed nude for the pornographer before abandoning her kid and who has openly admitted to have been – and probably still is – a pot head and user of harder illegal substances and whose every action bespeaks a hatred for the nation he allegedly heads...
What? Oh, right. That’s BARACK OBAMA! never mind!
I haven’t researched all the other folks we elevated to the highest elected office in this country. If I did, I’m sure I’d find warts and blemishes on ALL OF THEM. And why would that be? BECAUSE, LIKE YOU AND ME, THEY’RE ALL IMPERFECT HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL FALL SHORT OF THE GLORY.
Until some leftist “journalist” comes up with a fully documented list of reprehensible things MY candidate – who doesn’t drink or smoke and has raised his kids to be responsible, successful adults – has done to other folks, I’ll stick with TRUMP. And until these same media mavens provide me with a list of associates, friends, employees, clients and others he has screwed over and, further, convince me that he is attempting to prevaricate his way into the presidency (as the last guy did!) or that his profession of LOVE for America is as egregious a lie as the last guy told us, I’LL HANG IN THERE WITH TRUMP.
But my support for The Donald is based more on how the current crop (or is that crAp) of political elites and their media lapdogs and handmaidens are GOING NUTS because he is articulating problems in terms WE USE IN OUR CONVERSATIONS OUT HERE IN “FLYOVER COUNTRY”, AND NOT TALKING ABOUT HOW BEST TO ARRANGE THE DECK CHAIRS ON THE FOUNDERING SHIP CALLED “AMERICA”. Add in that he’s the only candidate who doesn’t need the job but, more importantly, DOESN’T NEED DOUGH FROM THE K STREET RENT SEEKERS WHO ROUTINELY BUY YOUR ALLEGED “REPRESENTATIVES” ON CAPITOL HILL and the rough talking, very UNPC, sometimes crude and impolite (read that “imperfect”) and that he has the “establishment” incompetents who created this mess WETTING THEMSELVES, Trump will remain my guy.
A fellow Freeper recently pointed out ANOTHER, rather strong reason for Trump to NOT GO ROGUE once in office:
I posted this:
“That said, should Trump win and go on prove to be but another undercover Judas Goat sent forth to lead us to the final holding pen of the One World totalitarian abattoir, that “explosive reaction” will make the extreme unpleasantness between 1861 and 1865 look like a peace rally!”
To which he replied:”
That’s why, despite what people say what trump will do, I think Trump loves his children and grand-children too much for that to be his legacy to them.”
Might want to toss that into your current equation!
Because the entrenched forces he faces have a 3 way program for dealing with outsiders (1. IGNORE; 2. DISCREDIT; 3. ELIMINATE), all we have to do is pray he REMAINS ABOVE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE through the debates, the election and, hopefully, on to January 20th, 2017 and an inauguration.

FOOTNOTE:
The 1960 Nixon-Kennedy Debates were directed by one Don Hewitt, creator of CBS’ “60 Minutes”. Hewitt told Nixon, who had a serious “5 O’clock Shadow” (beard, for you youngsters not familiar with that phrase) that he didn’t need to shave just prior to the program. Hewitt then directed the studio lighting to flatter Kennedy while arranging Nixon’s to make him look like an extra from “The Walking Dead”. Not satisfied, Hewitt slowly tightened the shot each time Nixon spoke so that his head loomed and filled the entire screen on TV sets all over the country. And as we all know, things that “loom” are clearly dangerous and should be avoided. The voters did so and, as we all know, Kennedy won.
I need to add that, warts and all, Kennedy did a pretty good job. While he got it completely wrong at the Bay of Pigs, he defused the Cuban Missile show down with the Soviets. And he was moving in the direction of unhooking our monetary system from the Fed (to which we PAY INTEREST on the currency they create from THIN AIR!), had begun speaking out about lowering taxes and getting us out of Vietnam. Some of us believe that’s why some folks blew off the top of his head on November 22, 1963. As with so many events like these, we may never know the truth.
Donald has a spine. He just tells it like it is- and without a teleprompter.
I think he is likable, charismatic and funny.
