Early deciders key to Trump’s win in Nevada
Associated Press ^ | Feb. 23, 2016 | AP

Posted on 02/23/2016 8:30:00 PM PST by cicero2k

Cheering supporters and packs of selfie-seekers greeted Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump when he stopped by a Las Vegas caucus site Tuesday night.

Trump spent nearly an hour at Palo Verde High School. He was nearly mobbed by the crowd that had gathered to vote in the GOP caucuses. He drew more cheers when he asked, "Did you vote for Trump?"

The billionaire businessman ran through a list of campaign promises, including taking case of veterans and scrapping the president's health care law. He then posed for photos and greeted people who had lined up to meet him after they'd cast their ballots.

Here are my reasons:

1. There are no borders.

2. The government is inept:

a. They poison the river and water supply.

b. They make veterans wait.

c. They can't produce e-mails.

d. They let China hackers access what were the "FBI Files" on millions of citizens.

e. They demand more invasion on our privacy via Apple and other companies.

3. Middle class living standards are declining, 8% in the past seven years.

4. Government can't agree to hold a vote to protect us from criminals (Kate's Law).

5. Cities and states are allowed to define and enforce foreign policy for sanctuary and illegal substances.

What are you angry about?

All I want is the gov’t to follow the original wording of Constitution, not what some judge ruled it meant, but the actual wording the Founders wrote into the document.

The 3 branches of gov’t are supposed to be fighting about turf with each other at all times. when this happens, the citizens are (hopefully) freed from gov’t interference in their lives.

What are you angry about?

Those are some good reasons, to start with. I am sure there are many other reasons as well.

Good list!

Handed over Iraq (where we never should have been) to complete chaos.

Handing Libya over to ISIS.

Republicans funding 300,000 Muslim invaders coming here this year as ‘refugees’ in addition to the 630,000 Muslims coming here via regular immigration.

20 trillion in debt and no politician has the balls to talk about it.

Republicans funding Scamnesty.

Republican establishment funding an effort in Mississippi to get DEMOCRATS to vote against the Tea Party candidate to preserve the status quo.

Rubio being sold as a ‘conservative’ in GOPe ads when he’s an amnesty backer.

Fox news selling us out for Rubio.

Rush selling us out for Rubio.

White population being targeted with black tar heroin by Mexicans and ‘sanctuary cities’ letting them do it.

Republicans assuming Democrats are ‘good people’ with good motives when, in fact, they are demon controlled evil destroyers of our faith and culture. They are the enemy and should be treated as such.

P.C. culture run amok.

Campus kids stupid enough to think socialism is anything other than a failed political theory that has never worked and instead has resulted in the murder of 100 million people in the 20th century alone.

Feminism destroying the family in our country and harming our children psychologically.

Black Lives Matter demonizing police facing zero consequences for rioting and resulting in lawless communities where police can’t go.

we need to DESTROY the uniparty and every politician that is a part of it.

Build a wall.

Take back America.

Punish our enemies - foreign and domestic - and give them no quarter.

Jail the Clinton cabal.

Expose anything Obama has done (payoffs from the cartels?) and jail him as well.

We need REAL change in this country.

Create a safe zone in the Middle East and repatriate the Muslims here and in Europe back to that hell hole.

Send the Hispanics here illegally back to their country and create millions of jobs for Americans.

I sure hope Trump does these things in that list if elected, because if he doesn’t he is gonna make the sins of Judas Escariot look like a minor jaywalking offense in terms of how angry the people who voted for him will be.

(Disclaimer Note: i am not being literal about the Sins of Judas being Jaywalking, I am making Figurative statement, so don’t jump up my rear about this and get bent out of shape about it. I have made sarcastic remarks before on this board and people take them way to damned literally sucking the life out of the air)

More like the branches of government are supposed to care about their oaths to defend the Constitution, the document that delineates their “turf” to a great degree.

“Right now? That they’ve been losing my mail. “

Solution: Turn the USPS over to FedEx. Give the retirees 401K’s, all 400,000 of them, and move on! Then at the very least, 1) The country won’t be loosing billions each year and 2) You wll be served by people who care that you are well served!

We expect them to be good.

Excellent addition to the list!
If I may add another:
I Am Sick to death of corrupt government at All levels not being held accountable or above the law.
There are far too many instances of gov’t employee criminal conduct or gross negligence, which if were similarly committed by private citizens would result in very serious jail time and financial penalties.
A top example would be Hillary Clinton’s exfiltration of classified State dept emails by the thousands for years.
A lower level gov’t employee or contractor would be prosecuted to the full extent of the law for even a slight exfiltration of classified data.
It mystifies me that the crooked b1tch can even show her face, never mind run for president!
Our sad state of affairs is All our fault.
We could stop it if enough people regularly Marched on DC.
Public protest is a large reason why the Civil Rights Act was enacted and the Vietnam War was scaled down.
When politicians feel the heat - they see the light.

Our damned government should build highways and ensure safe air travel, kill my enemies and print only a reasonable amount of currency, backed by gold.

The rest of it belongs to the states.

I’m not angry with the government. I’m angry with the putative opposition party that doesn’t do squat to oppose.

The National Socialist Democrat party currently in charge is simply doing what they’ve vowed to do: destroy the United States. The GOP, on the other hand, was voted in stop or oppose this, and all they’ve done is scarf shrimp and caviar at all the big D.C. confabs, ride jet planes around the world taking in the sights, staying in five star hotels, eating in five star restaurants and watching sporting events from sky boxes, all at the taxpayer expense or paid for by lobbyists and campaign “donors”.

They are not fulfilling the Constitutional Contract.

They do stupid shit.

Then more stupid shit.

Politics is a very incestuous circle of politicians.

Marco Rubio says he can unify Republicans before the November election and appeal to Democrats who "never" vote for GOP candidates.

LOL! They are already voting for Amnestyboy.

You stated:

There IS ONE SAFE ZONE in the Middle East and it is called Israel.

Yet Obama has thrown them under the bus.

Never has a US President been more guilty of betraying our allies than this faker & Chief.

Good point.

I mean a new safe zone in in the ME for Muzzies only, including those in Europe. Repatriate them.

Muzzies do not want a safe zone, they want your zone, my zone and everybody else’s zone.

Eventually Saudi Arabia will clash with Iran, its’ just a matter of time. Then the Israel (Jew)- hating Saudis will bring in the Israeli Air Force to help them. THAT will be interesting to say the least...

This election is reminding me of one thing. We are the government. It is a disaster because we keep electing fools. We seem to think that so long as the bum is only a rat to the opposition, it’s okay. But the one who brings a knife, carries a knife — and it might end up in YOUR back one day. Voters seem to want someone who lies so long as the lie to trick people in their favor.

We blame the government because we are too arrogant to blame ourselves. Not individually, necessarily. But still.

Even on the Republican side, we complain but the reality is, we have a republican party that looks exactly like us. They compromise right out of the gate because it is the only way they “can win.” What is different in how voters vote? Nothing! We get what we deserve. We criticize those who stand firm on the U.S. Constitution and on conservative principles as too extreme. Okay. Then don’t complain. We get what we ask for. We’ve got what we have asked for. Now we want the same only one who is a bigger bully. Lovely.

The belief in life being in the air is a pagan belief that was disproven in the Renaissance. To use such terms is to undermine the entire enlightenment, and thus the developments in western civilization that enabled our Founders to cobble together, against great odds, our Constitution. So while you might think this is trivial, I would point out that millions of liberals would agree with you. In fact, you're basically showing your agreement to Common Core type of thinking, and in doing so, undermining the future of our children. Not to mention your base use of the concept of "jumping up your rear," which should only be spoken of within the bounds of holy matrimony. Which of course perfectly fits the liberal game plan for the future. So I hope you're proud of yourself.

;-)
