Fox News:

“Cruz says Trump backers have ‘relatively low information,’ not very ‘engaged’”

I hope that ticks you off as much as it does me.

Rubio has a terrible work record. Cruz is not a “natural born Citizen” IMHO. Thus, it devolves to Trump, who I believe is the only one capable of defeating the clinton creature anyway.

In the future when posting self-penned pieces here on FR please adhere to the rules. You are supposed to select the "Your Opinions/Questions" list from the available topics.

This results in (vanity) being appended to the title automatically, and insures it doesn't show up in the wrong feeds. Some people like reading vanities, not everyone.

Nice article.

Good analysis. I caucused for Cruz but will obviously vote for anyone in the general besides Obama II (and that is a very astute moniker for the felon from Chicago/Arkansas/Chappaqua or wherever she’s from this week), and will not stay home. That being said, it still feels like a bit of a roll of the dice to nominate Trump (nervous about the polls showing him losing to Her Highness, although I know polls are often premature and full of baloney anyway), however as the weeks go by and he starts to surround himself with good people and picks a solid running mate, I’ll start to feel better about it.

Trump always was too leaky a vessel to put much hope into.

I heard Ben Carson praise The Don today. He said Donald was not the man people see on the stage but an intelligent, thoughtful man.
So what? Is Trump talking down to his low information voters? Is he shouting vulgarities to the crowd because he thinks this is what they want to hear?
I never see an intelligent, thoughtful man when I listen to Trump. Cruz was right. Whoopi Goldberg would be elected president if she ran. Just from her followers from the view.

“Our military will become the strongest the newest and the most powerful in the world....”

It already is. By far.

America should NOT be “run like a a business.” America should be a place where the possibility of starting a business in a market unfettered by government interference, the desire to pick winners and losers is checked and financial freedom is the norm. America is supposed to be a Republic, not a Democracy. As the old saying goes...”start with a Republic, become a Democracy, move to Democratic Socialism, Socialism then finally communism.”

I prefer a Republic, the one we started with, without ANY business attitudes in any manner. They have no place in Government. Provide a standing army for defense, protect the ability of the people to arm themselves, provide a judicial system that adheres strictly to all of the Constitution and watch the government like a hawk. Remember that the Constitution is not subject to change because of a new technology or a “new sensibility” in our people. It is immutable.

Roll back the insane “business oriented” solutions in banking and allow a free market and a free economy to grow. We now have neither. Bring our trade policies back to reality and stop manipulating our competitiveness by means of taxation. Let America return to being America.

Our neighbor worked for Trump in Atlantic City as a receptionist for the casino. She says that he was the most arrogant inconsiderate haughty individual who wore his red power tie whenever someone was going to get fired. He had no regard for his underlings according to her. Rush has a saying that his father had that you can tell the true nature of an individual by what they do when no one is watching; a corollary would be that you can tell the true nature of an individual by how they treat those who are beneath them and can do nothing to advance their agenda.

IMHO, Trump is a phony, a bully, crass, self-absorbed and rudderless except for the principle of WIN, WIN, WIN at any cost. He answers to no higher authority (God) and only knows how to make deals, the very thing that his supporters supposedly hate of the establishment.

Good piece. I share your reason for backing Donald Trump. We certainly need a good business man to help solve our problems. Its for sure politicians haven’t a clue. This morning Dr. Carson gave me even more confidence in my selection. Its good to know Donald will put our countries interest first.

“I play to people’s fantasies,” he writes. “People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. That’s why a little hyperbole never hurts. People want to believe that something is the biggest and the greatest and the most spectacular.” Donald J. Trump The Art of the Deal

Has Trump promised to eliminate any government agencies?

I just don’t think I will ever be able to bring myself to vote for Trump. I just don’t believe a word out of his mouth, and I don’t trust him at all. If Trump is the nominee, I’ll probably just check out on the election. It makes me sick that my fellow citizens can’t come up with two better nominees than Clinton and Trump.

In short, America is a business...

That proves that you are one of the "poorly educated" that Trump says he loves. America is not a business. If it were it would have declared bankruptcy long ago. Also, he is not going to self finance his general election campaign and he has not promised to do so. That "self-funded" line is just one of many sales pitches he is using to convince Trump's Chumps that he is fundamentally different.

You are supporting America's best carnival barker. I hope you and the rest of TRUMP'S CHUMPS don't kick yourselves when you go home in November with a stuffed animal and another President Clinton.

He doesn’t say anything except for altering between insults and superlatives. People who disagree with him get insults. He gives himself superlative after superlative. He is a bundle of generalized superlatives and slogans. It’s going to be GREAT!. It is going to be SUPER. It is going to be AWESOME. You have NO IDEA. He sounds like those cure-all sales people who are peddling, basically, alcohol as medicine, claiming it will cure every ailment known to man. It won’t, of course. And neither will Trump be the answer to all our problems. Far from it. If he wins, he will be a disaster.
