There’s no one left to throw under the bus
His summation of your stance is accurate. n00b.
... I don’t care what his opinion is, after all, opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one.
You can’t handle the truth. There is zero logic in supporting DT for the hundreds of reasons you would recognize if you used logic.
I’ve noticed that and I agree with your statement. :-)
Thmoas Sowell is 85.
] I'll have to check his recent writings to see if he's an actual GOPe, or he's just frozen in his thought patterns.
Obviously, he doesn't see what's driving the Trump phenomenon.

TRUMP: Vladimir Putin's praise is 'a great honor'
Business Insider ^ | December 17, 2015 | By Maxwell Tani
Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.
"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.
He continued: "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.
Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.
Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.
In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.
Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.
Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

"Trump's relationship with Russia goes far back. In 1987, before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he was meeting with Soviet officials and negotiating the building of "luxury hotels" in Moscow and Leningrad .
A story at the time said Trump had met Soviet Ambassador Yuri Dubinin, who mentioned how much his daughter had admired the "opulent" Trump Tower in New York City. This led to an invitation to Trump to visit the USSR. The story said Dubinin wrote a letter to Trump, who hosted a meeting with Soviet officials in New York.
The invitation to Moscow was issued by Intourist, the giant Soviet in-country travel organization which operated all the hotels for foreigners in the Soviet Union.
Intourist was created in 1929 by Joseph Stalin and run by KGB officials. Intourist hotels were designed for wealthy foreigners, and virtually all the Intourist guides were KGB informers. In fact, one aspect of their jobs was the recruitment of foreigners. ..."
"...we are left thinking [whether] Trump understands the aggressive intentions of Vladimir Putin.
"...when Trump was asked about the nuclear balance with Russia during the most recent Republican presidential debate, he displayed ignorance of the decaying nature of the U.S. nuclear triad, which constitutes our ability to deter and survive a Russian nuclear first strike.
"Putin has just presided over a ceremony honoring the KGB's successor agencies, and the Russia Today (RT) propaganda channel has announced the grand opening of a "cultural center" dedicated to mass murderer Joseph Stalin.
It looks like Putin has outmaneuvered Obama and Trump. It is an opening for Trump's opponents, especially Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL). But do they have the courage to "follow the money" and hold Trump accountable for doing business with a criminal regime that threatens the survival of the United States? At the end of this money trail, they may find an explanation of why Trump is so reluctant to hold Putin responsible for his crimes.
Follow Trump's Money to Moscow

A Better Deal with Cuba, says Donald Trump
Humberto Fontova | Jan 16, 2016:
Who else had the balls to say we should stop Muslims from immigrating? To tell the French they need to carry guns? To build a wall? Nobody. Trump is a patriotic American who has built businesses that employ thousands of people. What have his critics built? They live on other peoples money and produce nothing but words.
Two thumbs way up, sir!
Thomas Sowell is a brilliant man. Like many conservatives, he is not fooled by Trump. His words are worth pondering by those with open minds.
I'll talk to you. You're not a "Cruzer" deadbeat.
I presume you're a Cruz supporter?
How dare he be a solid conservative and not sell out liberalism, just because it’s the cool thing to do. the nerve of some people.
Bump that!
LOL!!! and so smack you right in the face true!!! Thanks for the reply ETL.
Like I’ve said he’s the Rorschach candidate. The bring to him the solution to all the problems of the nation (and indirectly their own personal as well..).
Here’s another one...
Even though I am not much of a social conservative, I will be voting for Cruz. He is a conviction politician - Trump isn’t and can’t be bothered to gain an in depth understanding of any issue. Trump has held many liberal views over the years. My only reservation is that the media trumpets whatever Trump says, which may mean he would have a better chance than Cruz, who could potentially have a tougher time getting his message out. Cruz is a devastating debater and I would dearly love to see him demolish Hillary.
“I know longer look up to him. Sad.”
Maybe you should ask yourself if you aren’t agreeing with such a wise man then maybe you are the one that is wrong.
Yawn.
