George Soros is even a MORE successful billionaire! How dare we question ANY billionaire? Right?

Trump is a funny guy.

Cruz should tell him anywhere is fine, even the New York Shared Values Summit. But that isn’t until May, so probably somewhere other than that.

Trump was smart to back out of the debate. He had a great excuse. He had nothing to gain since he is way ahead. It is unlikely he will lose much by skipping it.

On the other hand, Cruz is a threat to his front runner status. Trump will have to do more than make jokes and put downs to stop Cruz from edging him out in Iowa which would show potential momentum in Cruz’s favor. Trump is going to have to address policy advantages for him over Cruz. Cruz is going to have to win that debate if he has any chance at beating Trump in the primaries.

“especially the last one”

so in other words he admits he didn’t win the first 5...besides Trump wasn’t debating Cruz in any of the debates

That is how we ended up with two terms of Obama

But I don’t care if Trump is a liberal or a conservative, I want a nationalist who wants to put our country first for once.

It pisses me off hearing it from liberals and so-called conservatives that we have to accept in immigrants (illegal or refugees) whom want to do us harm. And the people like you and me who object to this is automatically some sort of KKK racist. I am glad that Trump stepped up and destroyed this narrative. Even Ted Cruz agreed with the liberals that we can’t ban muslims from entering this country, but yet he is some sort of “Pope of Conservatism” by some on here.

Donny, I don’t think you have the balls to debate Cruz one-on-one. You would be sliced and diced and exposed for the vacuous charlatan you are.

Are you being sarcastic? A billionaire who inherited $200 million from his daddy. If he had just put that into an S&P index fund he would be even richer than he is today.

Suggesting his wealth somehow means he should be judged by a different standard, and grants him more power than an ‘ordinary’ candidate is just plain scary.

Name calling seems to be contagious when it comes to the Trumpsters. The Donald lacks class and respect for others, and it appears his followers do as well.

I have had the occasion to be around and work for some incredibly wealthy people in my life. They generally fall into one of two categories. Those who know money does not equal class, and treat those who work for them with dignity and respect. The other kind are the obnoxious ones who never miss an opportunity to show off their wealth, and thus, they are far superior than those who work for them. Usually those in the first group are first generation (they actually built a business from the ground up, and know that their success is in part due to the people who they have working for them). The second group are like The Donald, second or third generation money who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth, had all the advantages in terms of schooling, connections, etc. and think they are superior to everyone.

The real pull that has good effect isn’t through iconic politicians, it’s through God.

We’ve seen a lot of what looks like the decline of faith in America in the last 50 or so years. However, I would aver that this is a case of losing a fig leaf, and the fig leaf plausibly dates back even further, such as to Prohibition times. When we’re asking Caesar to be the keynote of our religion then we have leaned on what is, at best, a fickle ally. Caesar getting officially irreligious might be the biggest gift God ever gave us, because it has woken us to the truth. We’ve been asleep at the wheel and looking to idols.

I think we would be wiser to look at what we are calling conservatism as more of an effect than a cause. The real cause goes into something that conservatives say they support, but even if every politician supported Christian faith, it would mean nothing if the people blew it off (which is very possible). We need a “Vote for Jesus with your heart” campaign, to put it squarely. And He actually can keep promises that nobody else can, certainly not politicians. In a sense the telehucksters were correct about God, if they would only remember to make it about Him and not the glory they get from having a piece of that action.

OK so this is clumsy. Please do it better if you can. But truth is often shocking.

You’re behind the times. He’s fallen out of love with it.

Donald is so “superior” that he wants America to be “great.”

“Are you being sarcastic?”

It’s hard to tell, isn’t it?
