Here’s some advice, Erick. You are digging yourself a hole from which your fame, notoriety and reputation will be as that of what’s in the bottom of a latrine trench. Keep it up you name dropping, carping opportunist. We got your number.

The ‘cultists’ are the ones, especially the OPs who post this stuff like a driveby shooting and then cut and run and don’t even offer up their own opinions and thoughts about the validity of the article which they thought was so doggone important for all us to know.... famous for it.

The Trump chumps don’t care what he said in the past. They only care about what he says today.

Another stinkn’ liberal trying to embarrass Trump by quoting him. Well, it won’t work. Trump means what he says today, not what he said yesterday. We have to be big enough to realize the leader is always right even when what he says was wrong.

Are you denying these quotes or just in denial?

I never denied them. I’d like some dates, places and context. My biggest beef is this OP hit and run crap where they just throw up links to Townhall or somewhere else they can find some fool that agrees with them.

If you’re going to post a thread to discuss, then start out some kind of opinion about what you’re pointing. To do otherwise (which if OFTEN done) is pure cowardly manipulation that benefits some ingrained bias. Like it or not it happens.

Denial has nothing to do with it.

They have eyes, but do not see. Ears, but do not hear.

Once your only comeback is ad-hominem, you’ve lost the argument. I make this point all the time on liberal sites. I shouldn’t have to be pointing it out here.

The article makes some very good points, yet you intentionally ignore them and just go ad-hominem.

Similar quotes can be found for Reagan.

Similar quotes can be found for Winston Churchill.

The quotes prove, beyond a doubt, that if you diligently comb through the records of a public persona over many decades, you can finds some instances in which they said some dumb things off the cuff, and changed their mind later.

Cognitive dissonance. Trump is like the husband who is cheated on his wife (a mean this not literally as I understand his fans say he is very gallant, didn’t run around with Marla when he was married to Ivana or cheat on Marla in turn, and his third wife wasn’t a nude model), is cheating, and will cheat again. We’re the friends trying to tell the wife he’s not faithful. The wife, however, doesn’t believe her eyes or her experiences. She believes her dreams.

Trump is a game changer that defies pigeon holes and will not play by established rules. He is taking on the uni party, the media and the academic purists, all who depend on the status quo. The game is over with Trump as POTUS. America First!

Yeah, youthful indiscretion for Trump. He was only 64 then.

No surpise, Eric, “where arrogance meets incompetence” Erickson is still beating his dead horse today.

How many times is he going to re-cylce this column before he wakes up to the fact NO ONE IS LISTENING. Voters have moved pass these sort of “gotcha” games. They aren’t interested in supposed “brilliance” of the bloviating class they want ANSWERS and SOLUTIONS not more “politics as usual.

Eric, you can be exactly 100% right about Trump and NO one is going to listen to you blowhard Establishment types. As far as most voters are concerned you DC Political/Media/Business media water boys are part of the problem.

The truth sometimes hurts.

Time was, folks around here would consider the words out of a man’s mouth when forming an opinion.

Today, a sizable number here not only don’t care...They despise the very idea of having those stark words laid out for all to see.
