I thought jerk-o#@f#f was only one word!
“Did you call me a pussy communist?” Tank.
He had only been a junior senator about 111 days. Most unqualified president ever.
Were those two words ‘Illegal alien Marxist muslim Kenyan homosexual loser’?
We badly need an extremely ARTICULATE candidate who will make the case for conservatism while humiliating the media with ease.
I have never seen a politician with his skills.
A**hole is just a single, compound word. I was thinking “communist a**hole”, though that sounds a little redundant.
They’re comparing the two based on how much time they spent in the senate?
Ok. How did each GET his senate seat?
What did they each do prior?
Come on. An application to run a cash register is more intricate than that
So sick of the stupid journalists persuading people how to think. So sick of people allowing the propaganda media to run things
Do people realize it has been said that BO couldn’t get work as a lawyer because he was seen as incompetent related to his prior affirmative action tempted laziness?
Ted Cruz argued nine cases at the U.S. Supreme Court won five
Cruz won senate seat over Dewhurst, lt gov of tx, bush supported. It’s why w is so snarky re Cruz

Note: If you don't like the ratings for any reason, please contact Conservative Review's Editor-in-Chief, "The Great One," Mark Levin. But I have to warn you that you may get this response from him: "GET OFF THE PHONE, YOU BIG DOPE!"
Of course he has to say that. It doesn't really address the question of whether or not he has enough foreign policy experience to be a success in the White House (though he does have more administrative experience than Obama).
Trump is soft on the 2nd amendment and free markets? This is pure mental masturbation.
Yeah, you are sooooo right. Great debater=Great president.
I think it’s time for someone who walks the walk. Trump has been there during those times our country was truly great.
Cruz, would be a good apprentice under him for a couple years.
Trump supported TARP, auto bailout and Porkulus bill, i.e., Trump is for big government and big businesses.
Trump's Record on Free-market Issue: (from the Conservative Review)
Trump has a terrible record on free market issues. The only bright spot is the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, but this glimmer is countermanded by his repeated support for bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, and increased stimulus spending. Of particular concern is Trump's belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property in the name of private economic development. This comes as no surprise, given his support for using eminent domain to profit his own company.
Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of London, allowing public authorities to seize private land for economic development by private investors; Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review) This is no surprise given Trump’s attempt to use eminent domain in his own line of work. (Institute for Justice)
Trump supported President Obama’s 2009 stimulus, saying: “The word stimulus is probably not used in its fullest…you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people. But overall, I think he's [President Obama] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” (CNN)
Trump supported TARP, saying, "You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank." (CNN)
Trump supported the 2008 auto bailout, saying, “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.” He also said that the federal government could “easily save the companies.” (Daily Caller)
Trump criticized the Federal Reserve’s intervention in the debt market, saying quantitative easing creates “phony numbers” that mislead the marketplace and “will not ultimately benefit the economy. The dollar will go down in value and inflation will start rearing its ugly head.” (CNBC)
Donald Trump has a history of using eminent domain to complete business deals. Multiple times Trump has supported the use of government agencies to take possession of homes and businesses for use in his private business plans. Eminent domain seizures are reserved only for public use of property rather than abuse by the government taking property from one individual and giving to another. (Washington Post)
Donald Trump has sought and received crony capitalist tax breaks for his commercial properties in New York. These tax breaks, and even an abatement, force the property taxes of other property owners to rise at the expense of the connected. Special treatment for one business or industry over another with the tax code conflicts with free market principles. (National Review)
In 2009, Trump supported Barack Obama's call for limits on the pay of executives. (CNN)
In the past Trump has payed lip service to the Second Amendment. More troubling is that he supported the so-called assault weapons ban and a longer waiting period for gun purchases. However, during the 2015 campaign, Trump has made a major shift on Second Amendment issues. He released a policy paper on the Second Amendment which promises major reforms that gun rights activists have long wanted. Examples include support for national reciprocity for concealed carry permits, the end of weapons and magazine bans, and curtailing of the expansion of a failing background check system. Time will tell if the 180 about face is principled driven or merely political in nature.

Trump used to be red on 2nd amendment until he published is position paper on his website which CR rates high. Given mixed history, he was only upgraded to yellow.
Don't assume Trump as a businessman is free markets. From CR " Trump has a terrible record on free market issues.

Like the guy who won all of his cases before the SCOTUS.
Trump has an inconsistent track record as a conservative.
We’ve had three baby boomer presidents: Clinton, Bush 43 and Obama. I can’t consider that to be a plus at this point.
