You mean when families owned their land?

We have 10 months of this road ahead.

Lets see what happens before we throw Trump into a third party, Mmm’K. Comparing him to Perot is wrong.

Perot NEVER ran on the GOP ticket. You need to make that clear.

For me, the litmus test is immigration. If we don’t get that right, everything else is irrelevant.

1) Trump is the ONLY GOP candidate who opposes big globalist trade deals.

2) Trump is the ONLY GOP candidate who has credibly opposed open borders (some others are currently deciding they were for them before they were against them).

THAT is what makes him the “anti-corporatist” candidate.

Families still own their land, if they choose to do so and pay their taxes. And the taxes part can be fixed by electing those who are willing to fix it, and no others.

Trump at his worst is better than any of the RAT candidates at their best. Even though I strongly prefer Cruz.

Cruz can’t win the general election. No crossover appeal and he is a member of the political class.

Yeah, he will build that wall when pigs fly. It is corporations feeding on low wages that built the superhighway into the heartlands in the first place. Trump, like Obama never has a plan on how he will accomplish anything, just grandious promises. Just like his Democrat roots. All bluster, no substance.

And just like Obama, most of his followers also have no reason, just hope for change. It is sad to see the demise of reason in this country.

You’ve popped in to slam Trump, suddenly.

You seem to be ‘deathly afraid’ of Cruz, as well....

Boy, I hope I don’t get suspended for this but I need to ask:

Am I the only conservative who is concerned that Ted Cruz is married to a Managing Director of Goldman Sachs?

I always think of Goldman Sachs as major source of financial corruption of Wall Street.

What do you all think. I really want to know.


So, who is your candidate....that you’re not deathly afraid of?

Again, a long list of accusations without a single actual quote to back up any of the accusations.

I say your accusations are lies.

Prove me wrong.

Nobody with a mortgage owns their land, the bank owns them.

Without Trump we will definitely never get a wall. With Trump we may get a wall. This makes all the difference.

Oh here we go. Trumps tax plan. Documented proof that challenges the emotion based assumptions of this article.

I will instead take George Carlin's advice:
"Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience."

Curious that you have no problem with the logical fallacy being used in this article.

ad hominem

An ad hominem (Latin for “to the man” or “to the person”[1]), short for argumentum ad hominem, is an attack on an argument made by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, rather than attacking the argument directly. When used inappropriately, it is a logical fallacy in which a claim or argument is dismissed on the basis of some irrelevant fact or supposition about the author or the person being criticized.[2] Ad hominem reasoning is not always fallacious, for example, when it relates to the credibility of statements of fact or when used in certain kinds of moral and practical reasoning.[3]

Your one hit wonder note is getting old :(

Sorry accusations without quotes is the new form of Media lying about Trump this campaign season. When you actually READ the quote you find the context and content is rather different then the spin put on it by the attack bots.

See the list of his previous positions, including support for TARP, bank bailouts and more, and give it some more thought.

This is our last shot. Do we really want to roll the dice when there is a rock solid constitutionalist alternative, with a track record to prove it?
