Donald Trump: 'This is a movement'
Politico ^ | 08/29/15 | Ben Schreckinger

Posted on 08/30/2015 7:31:46 PM PDT by entropy12

Donald Trump says it’s not all about him. No, seriously.

Campaigning in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump on Saturday paid homage to his supporters — claiming they are a part of “a movement” and using colorful language to beg for their support.

“This is a movement,” said Trump, who often speaks about himself in campaign appearances. “I don’t want it to be about me. This is about common sense. It’s about doing the right thing.”

Trump also paid tribute to his setting, a country music hotbed, and insisted there needed to be a greater emphasis on "law and order." And, as has become customary, he took shots at Jeb Bush, the former Florida governor who is a rival for the Republican nomination.

Because an operative definition of a Liberal is someone who is unable to say “No!”.

Because Puerto Rico is full of US citizens and people who speak Spanish.

Residents of Puerto Rico and other U.S. territories do not have voting representation in the United States Congress, and are not entitled to electoral votes for President.

Only if they are still living in those territories.

If they move to any state they may vote just like anyone else.

He was one of the real good ones. I went from 1st grade through college with him. He was an only child. In the 90’s, his mom was in the nursing home with my mom. She screamed all night long, looking for her son. It was a very sad situation. I appreciate all who served. My older brother flew bombers during the Korean War. Before and after that, he and others flew through mushroom clouds. He was the last one of his group to die in 2006. He was on over 20 kinds of meds when he died. Radiation exposure was terrible on all of them.

They still must pass US citizenship requirements because even though Puerto Rico is a US Territory, they are NOT US citizens...
Same as the Philippines before they were granted independence...
The Philippines aboard the ship I was on in the Navy could not vote unless they were naturalized...

Sorry for your loss...Sounds like you come from an outstanding military family...My father was with Patton’s Third Army in WWII and I served with the Navy as a diver in Vietnam. I was stationed at Can Tho...

Actually no.

They are US citizens and have been since 1917 under the Jones Act. This was not done to the Philippines.

Why do they print ballots in English AND Spanish????

To allow monolingual Spanish speakers, legal and illegal, to vote Democrat.

Well, this brother served during that war, my other brother was in the Army about the same time and then one of my daughters served for a while. She was in basic and on a forced march or whatever they are called. She stepped in a hole, damaged her knee severely and had to get a medical discharge. I have had ancestors serving ever since the Revolution. I really appreciate their and others’ service.

I hope her knee is healed and back at normal now...
As far as the far past, some of my ancestors scalped people back before the Revolution...*L*
