Best example I’ve seen of who DT is. This was 1991 but much of what he says explains today’s exonomy / stock market.

His "Conservative" supporters like his outrageous anger because they are angry.

You're confused.

I like all the pretty explosions Trump's causing on The Uniparty's Media DeathStar.

Trump is whatever his fans want him to be in any given week.

I’ve said in the past that DC is a china shop in need of a bull.

If you have read all of Trump’s books, you get a really good idea about who he is and why he is particularly good for the country at this time. It’s like his favorite book, the Bible: you only really understand what it is telling you if you read all of it several times. You notice that some things are covered over and over again. These are the important parts.

People who try to generalize from one or two Bible verses are as successful as people who try to generalize what Donald Trump thinks from one or two quotes.

You won't get all that you want so you start with many positions that you know you can throw away to get what you want in negotiations

Golly gee willikers, what a novel concept! Actually how negotiations have been done since cave man days, but must be a revelation to Mr. York.

I made up my mind a year ago to not demand perfect complementarity between my views and a candidate who can get the job done. AFAIAC, Cruz or Trump can be caught tossing dwarves through flaming hula hoops and my support for them will not dwindle. Someone has to tear through DC like a Tasmanian Devil, and no other candidates will do it.

“I went from being excited about Trump to having no respect for him in a period of just over a week.”

You are a thinker who can see the reality of Trump. Many are blinded by his billions of dollars, saying he is the smartest man on earth to have that much money and can fix any problem since he has billions of dollars. Money does not make a person liberal or conservative - Trump’s life has been one of a liberal and he will be one as president. A liberal with billions of dollars is still a liberal.

I went from being excited about Trump to having no respect for him in a period of just over a week. I suspect that others feel the same way.

Seeing more here every day. #trumpremorse

As American Enterprise Institute Marc Thiessen noted, a portion of Trump’s plan on immigration is actually an idea that came from Texas Moderate Senator Kay Baily Hutchison, who proposed Trump’s “touchback” in which you deport millions of immigrants to let them back in. You can decide whether this is a practical plan, but make no mistake, under Trump’s reform, the vast majority of illegal today will still be here his reforms.


The author and assumingly the poster are believe this because all politicians lie and how can Trump be any different. None of this matters because so far Trump is the best we have. No matter your position on illegal immigrants there will have to be some hard case exceptions to permanent deportation. Hopefully, Trump will want a win/win policy on such exceptions.

Warren Buffet, Bill Gates, and George Soros are all super liberals.

I’d bet that 99% of billionaires are socialists.

“If Trump came to my house I wouldn’t let him in.”

If he came to my house, I would not let him in and would grab a barf bag because his loud mouth pronouncements to fool voters and gutter language makes me that sick.

That’s the nature of primaries. Don’t let it be a permanent schism.

Am very disappointed in the Freepers that are saying Cruz bashed the memory of 911 etc,

Wait, what, who?

You have a linky?

I would like to think our infighting is just primary bickering. I can’t believe there are people who would sit out the election against Bernie or Hillary because their guy wasn’t nominated.
