To all patriots who support Trump and who watched the Republican Presidential debate the other night in Greenville, South Carolina. I speak to you as a conservative who is as frustrated with Obama and the Republican elite establishment as you are.
That said, I am having great difficulty understanding the rational for the continued Trump support after the debate.
Do you really think that a Republican was the reason for 9/11?
Do you really believe Trump when he said Bush lied on purpose about Iraq?
Do you really believe Trump that Bush lost the Iraqi war instead of the truth which is that Bush won the Iraqi war and then Obama walked away from an Iraqi victory and it is Obama’s failures that brought about ISIS?
Trump has made charges that even the hardest of all Democrats are unwilling to make. We don’t advance and win the White House by agreeing with the Democrats in their wild conspiracy theories.
What about Trump’s stance on foreign policy? We see the impacts to our national security from Obama leading from behind. Trump’s vision is similar to Obama’s. He wants to make other nations fight our interest and wants to allow Russia to continue in its fight against the interest of the United States. Trump cannot even recognize the obvious that Russia is not attacking ISIS. Is Trump that naive like Obama? Great, the same Americans that flocked to support Obama now race to Trump with the same results being achieved.
I was giving Trump the benefit of the doubt until the other night when he quickly shed any pretense that he was anything but another liberal clone. For any conservative who supports Trump, wake up. Trump is not a conservative and no Republican should be snickered to think otherwise.
We are mutually tired and sick at our Republican Party establishment that has failed to stand up against the Obama juggernaut. Obama was elected by mainstream media that built him up to a God celebrity status. Trump is another renowned celebrity king and once again the entertainment mind-set is predominate and runs amok in our pick for our next President.
Wow, after the Obama disaster, why follow and place your dreams on a man of little statue, integrity, honor, or character to our highest office. I just don’t get it. I agree with some of the arguments of Trump, but I don’t trust his character or his integrity to follow through on his promises. Already he has backtracked. He speaks in platitudes when he is not heaving personal attacks against a fellow Republican. He has little capacity of the historical facts to take great advantage of Hillary or Bernie during a debate.
Trump incessantly speaks about his negotiation skills. Yes, we are mad as heck about our Republican leader’s failure to fight Obama, Reid, and Pelosi, but if you listen to Trump, his great asset he states is his negotiating skills with Democrats. Really? He said he would not use the Executive Privilege to force his opinions and he has repeatedly attacked conservative Republicans like Cruz for fighting against Obama. So then what can we really expect from a Trump negotiation with a potential Democrat controlled Senate after 2016? Do you really think Trump will fight for conservative principles? Keep dreaming?
Heck, think about the reality of the Supreme Court under a Trump Administration. He recently stated that former liberal Republican Senator Brown would be a good Supreme Court candidate. That said, in your heart, how do you reconcile the notion that Trump will appoint a conservative legal scholar on the Supreme Court? Please, stop being delusional and don’t place dreams upon Trump that he will not meet for a second. Go ahead and nominate more moderate to liberal Supreme Court Justices and you can kiss away your prosperity, gun rights, religious freedoms, freedom of speech, and equal justice under the law. Oh yes, you must like the abuses of the EPA, IRS, overzealous governmental regulations, etc. Keep with Trump and you are guaranteed to live your future in Obama’s transnational system.
It is time to smell the roses my friends instead of being led to the privy. Our nation cannot stand or afford another failure of a President. We cannot elect a Marxist like Bernie, a criminal like Hillary, nor another narcissist like Trump who bellows and attacks across the wide spectrum but under that false facade, there is an empty suit.
Please, let’s not bet our nation’s future on a liberal who turned conservative and then sways with the wind when it suits his interest.
The time for reflection is upon us. Do not be swayed by me, the media, or Trump’s lofty words. Think historically of what the Presidency stood for and the caliber of the man elected to that esteemed office. Obama subverted our constitution and failed the leadership test. I beseech you, do not allow yourself, my fellow Americans, to chase in vein the same pipe dream and failed entertainer leadership.
Obama and all our establishment elites on both sides of the isle destroyed our view and respect of government. Let’s not now resort to the same type of flaw character choice for President. Please do not let your short memory abate your duty to this country to elect a President who will secure and protect our liberty, our rule of law, our prosperity, and our national interest.
Ok I won’t.. at least not in the primary..
In the general if on the GOP ticket. I will.
I started out liking him. But his act wore thin and he lost me.
The Republican Establishment has been lying to us for 20 years... it’s time for a change.
Vote Trump.
This thread should get interesting.
Computer fire forecasted at FR headquarters.
We have three possibilities here:
1. Trump is telling the truth. W is the greatest master mind and conspiracy orchestrator in the history of man
2. Trump is a liar
3. Trump is a psychopath
2 & 3
Trump’s going off the deep end. He’s getting desperate!
I disagree with many of your points but will consider some.
You offer no suggestion as a substitute.
Ineligible, unseasoned or dynasty are not choices for me.
Donald Trump Stumbles on Foreign Policy Knowledge in New Interview
I’ve noticed that Trump’s critics are quite fond of lifting his comments out of context.
And nobody else has ever made one......
From High Taxes To National Health Care, Donald Trump Must Reckon With His Progressive Past
Sorry, Colonel, from posts on FR over these past months, I think you can just save your breath.

I think you need to go rewatch the debate, you are splitting hairs because this wasn’t the exact words, but this was the plain meaning.
Don’t deceive yourself.
1.) We should have elected Al Gore president in 2000. (It would not surprise me to learn that Trump believes Bush stole the election). That way, there would have been no Iraq war.
2.) We should have elected Kerry in 2004 after Bush lied to get us into a war that he started because he wanted revenge on Saddam for threatening his dad.
3.) We did well to elect Obama after 8 years of the deceitful Bush.
4.) We should probably elect Hillary because she only voted for the war after being lied to by Bush. We can't trust Republicans after 8 years of the liar Bush.
I go with 2 & 3 although I lean more towards 3.
You obviously are rooting for more pc, pantywaist, hankie twisting, two-faced, sellout, Rino bullhockey. No thanks. There is one man in this race, who IMHO, has the cohones and the spine to bust up the Corrupt Bastards Club in DC.
Did I miss something, or is your only grounds for telling us to not support Trump, that you’re a vereran. Well, I too, am a veteran. And I’m RA, by the way. And I’m supporting Trump.
I was undecided before the debate between Cruz and Trump, liked things about both of them. After seeing Trump act like a hysterical girl and go through that meltdown, I am solid Cruz now.
You missed option 4
4: Trump is telling the truth. W is a dupe for the Neo-cons and believed their lies.
