Trump Won't Choose Sides Between Israel and Palestine
Conservative Review ^ | 2/18/16 | CRWire

Posted on 02/18/2016 9:02:37 AM PST by lormand

GOP front-runner Donald Trump refused to pick sides in the conflict between Israel and Palestine in last night’s town hall on MSNBC.

“I don’t want to get into it,” he told moderators Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.

“If I win, I don’t want to be in a position where I’m saying to you [my choice] and the other side now says, ‘We don’t want Trump involved…let me be sort of a neutral guy,” said the billionaire businessman.

Trump described the Middle Eastern struggle as the “toughest deal in the world right now to make.”

“A lot of people say an agreement can’t be made, which is OK, sometimes agreements can’t be made [and they are] not good. I will give it one hell of a shot. I would say if you can do that deal, you can do any deal.” Trump cited the hatred between Israelis and Palestinians as the biggest obstacle to peace.

You do know that his daughter is an orthodox jew, don’t you? Her husband is one and she converted at the time of her marriage.

I think it’s pretty clear whom he’ll support.

You do realize Hillery Clinton sat front row at Trumps wedding, I forget which wife, the hooker or the nude lesbian photo shoot one...

It really is not clear at all who Donald Trump actually is to people who really want to know before the vote. Is he who he says he is, or is he who you want him to be, just like Obama was to his supporters.

Do you have link somewhere to you supporting Trump?

I’d like to see that

You damn well this is a fake narrative headline thread

Like 100s of others daily spammed by you and other anti Trump operatives who work in unison

Have you changed one vote?

Made one enemy?

Lol

I know which I’d bet on

All this sound and fury as usual and for what?

Oh, bite me!

I’m not even a Trump supporter! Did you hear all of his comments? For that matter, you apparently didn’t even read all of MY comments. (I can’t even believe I’m defending the guy.)

I can’t say I ever consciously thought to myself “I’m going to vote for Donald Trump.” But I did very much like the issues that he was bringing to the forefront early on.

However, as I looked into his lifelong record of leftism, and his current statements about becoming part of the establishment to work with the establishment, socialist medicine, Planned Parenthood, staying neutral in a fight between America-hating terrorists and Israel, etc, etc, etc...I now give snowballs in hell a better chance than Donald Trump getting a vote from me.

You describe Trump perfectly.

Really? Because last I checked, Trump wasn't milquetoast, he wasn't polished, and he's no politician. Will he bend us over and screw us after the election? Certainly a possibility. We KNOW FOR A FACT, however, that every one of the other candidates will indeed do so. They know how their bread is buttered - by special interests.

If Trump does indeed screw us, I'd say we all might want to hunker down, because this will be the last election we'll see for some time.

Fair enough
So your vote was never his to lose

What will you do in the general?

Not vote?

That’s your right

We sure hated voting Romney but we did

McCain too

And Dole

I was happy to vote Bush II at first

I do not disagree with you at all on the state of the country, I just disagree on how we got there. We did not become a great country as a democracy, but as a republic.

A democracy Chooses its leaders based on a politicians promises, a republic chooses its leaders based on a mans moral character. A democracy is based on someone making government give you what you want, a republic is based on someones integrity in following the rule of law.

Putting it simply, America got the way it is by politicians ignoring the Constitutional limits to their desire to rule by fiat. The solution is not more strong man promises on how THEY will rule, but by a man with moral integrity restoring the rule of law and justice.

The Constitutional limits on governmental power works, more laws and decrees to patch the laws we don't enforce now will never work.

Ted Cruz is a republican constitutionalist.
Trump is a populist democratic dictator.

We will never change back to who we were, by repeating our mistakes, “only better this time”.

Trump bragged about how he saves money in construction and maintenance by using illegal immigrant workers. He also promises to build a wall.

America became corrupt by men bending the laws for their own gain. Not by men following the law. In the America of today, laws are only chains for the peons, the Government never actually obeys them. The Constitution only exists to limit government power by defining its limits. Ted Cruz's solution is to restore Justice and law.

If the government would not give drivers licenses, welfare benefits and get out of jail free cards to illegals, but would jail them instead to 6 months hard labor on civic projects before deportation we would not need a wall.

The answer is Justice, not more political promises.

Ted Cruz has a long track record of fighting for justice.

Donald Trump has a long track record of misusing government power to serve himself, from hostile eminent domain law suits, donations to buy political favor, the leverage of his wealth to force people to cooperate with countless lawsuits and bragging of his use of bankruptcy laws for monetary gain. Yes this is the tactics of a strong man, but not what America needs or stands for.

The GOPe and the progressive Democrats do not fear a strong man, that is who they are. They FEAR JUSTICE. That is why they fear Ted Cruz. A strong man has a price, justice cannot be bought.

So I chose Cruz to solve the problems you have listed. We are very much alike, just have different solutions.

Instead of finding a strong man to change the corrupt system, how about picking a man to fight the corruption?

Of course that would require a man who was not corrupt...

Total bs. You are taking what Trump said totally out of context. You have too much hate in your heart.

That is not the way Trump meant as unpredictable and you know it. You are spinning this to mean what you want it to mean.

Trump meant that he did not want to tip his hand as to what he really wants. You are so blinded by hate in your Christian hear that you would compromise your beliefs to be right.

Today the pope said it was ok now for priests to marry gay people. Any comments? Or is that the new conservatism?

How can you negotiate with terrorists?

The only negotiation with terrorists that is valid is reading to them the terms of their surrender, followed by their sentence. Anything other than that is a Fools erand.

So you think it is milqutoast to take on Congress, and brave to pay bribes to Hillery, Reid and Pelosi to curry political favor.

I think you are shooting blanks.

Ny comments on franis would start aI do not agree with the Church of Rome.

That he is not the decedent (pastoral) of peter nor that peter was the first pope.

That peter was not the rock upon which the Church is built but that his statement that the Jesus was the Christ is the rock.

aside form that the pope is just another leader of a faith that does not follow the Sola Scriptura is of course obvious.

And your interpretation of djt statement is no less self serving than you claim mine is, though websters agrees with me.

Who has taken on Congress? Cruz? Lol. Hot air - what Rush used to call symbolism over substance. Bribing the left? When you are a successful businessman, you hedge your bets. He got the job done, though I wouldn't call them "bribes". With your logic, how many "bribes" has Cruz received from special interests - the same special interests he'll be serving once elected?

<<<<< “ I missed the Hitler “revolution” too and am kinda glad I did. “ >>>>>

Oh, but you’re are. You’re seeing a version of the brown shirt tactics alright.

In the Cruz campaign.

Lies, misrepresentations, innuendo, propaganda by the truck load, using material so old they had to dig it out of the attic, where it was found lining tantique bird cages. lol.

You don’t get that cheap trick crap from TRUMP. Of course TRUMP isn’t d e s p e r a t e, either.

TRUMP is smoking the field and it’s already nearly MARCH!

Go TRUMP.

TRUMP 2016
