So many good folks are really rationalizing, twisting themselves into pretzels trying to justify voting for a now-politician (not a businessman) who until 2011, donated to both parties and more to Democrats than to Republicans. Hard cash, money.

No matter how much I loathe them, no matter how much they have assisted Democrats and the left, I bet that neither Romney nor Jeb have donated roughly equal $$ to the campaigns of Democrats as they have to Republicans, or even close.

Trump has, for decades, up until only a few years ago. He helped put Harry Reid in office, and he helped put Terry McAuliffe in the Virginia governor's mansion, among other things.

Now folks can rationalize that by saying, "Well, that's just the cost of doing business." What they're saying that they approve and support a politician who will advance the cause of the opposition party and government tyranny if he personally stands to gain financially from it.

And that, my FRiends, is the kind of political "compass" America would do well to toss into the trash heap. Honor and country before personal financial gain -- I guess a lot of folks think that's obsolete.

I know that many of the great patriots who gave their all to create the United States of America in the Revolutionary War, lost all kinds of $$, not to mention their lives and property, in order to do what would gain liberty and justice for all.

But that is so old-fashioned today, so quaint, so "deluded," according to those who defend what is so obviously indefensible. "Cost of doing business" -- bah!

Oh shut up, you imbecile. You know nothing about business, so you are not qualified to speak on the subject.
