Cruz the establishment puppet. I ll pass.
Nope! I’m in Australia.
Love it!
Oh I thought you drew it and took a pic. Is this what was on the college campus? I hadn’t seen that.
Trump is not smarter than that, and that fact should be sinking in for those few of you purported Trump supporters on this board who are not democratic trolls. Trump is an ignorant fool who will continue to embarrass himself and you over and over again. Figure it out now before it is too late. Don’t mistake bombast and bluster for ideological purity.
What? Trumpbots? I don’t see any of those anywhere?
;)
Trump has an ego. He doesn’t necessarily want total submission. He’d like it but he’d also settle... I’ve seen him give in to one now and then, and I don’t want him to give in... it feels like weakness. To get things done, one has to compromise? If there was something to compromise for.. and to whom.. but the GOP has compromised our freedoms away... and it will take a firm hand to change that habit. The dems have seen weakness for way too long and their habits will be to make Trump play chicken ... and I don’t want the next President to give in until the other side and the GOP KNOWS who will be calling the shots for a change. It will not be congress, nor the media, nor the left... nor the runaway judges. We can’t take any more of that kind of judgments and/or decisions, nor destruction by the government.
I don’t mind dictatorial when the person is right and it equals successes in our country. I remember Eisenhower... he was a general and generals are not inclined to take orders from anyone... they are used to giving them. He did a lot I thought were correct and he didn’t ask for permission from those he disagreed with. Neither did Truman. I think the younger generations are comparing the later Presidents.. that’s all they know.. Truman was a man off the farm, so to speak.. and he took no guff from anyone. The buck really did stop with him. He came from the era where men did not do the things we see today. The military was taken care of and respected... the people had a voice.. and the media was 15 minutes news at 6 pm weeknights.. no talking heads.
Trump may seem like a little man... but he’s out there fighting the whole world right now... they all are against him. I haven’t seen such hatred and outright “take down” in my lifetime.... he’s taking it.. and I don’t think it’s been easy. Too many others would have surrendered by now. I would like for him to do it with more adult ways... and I turn it off when I get that aggravated at him.. Fox is calling Trump’s followers ugly names... they are all adults there at Fox...and categorize themselves as educated, elite, know it alls... but they are as petty and as ugly as they think Trump is.
I want someone to stand there and tell the past 8 years people.. to cease and desist... things will be back for the people again.. we can’t take any more of this... what obama has done... the people think this is normal?.. not hardly.. not ever...
I want a President who will find out what are the right things to do, and not give an inch once the mind is made up... and also surround one’s self with good men/women who think along the same lines on most of the things... and ones who are not afraid to tell the President that they disagree on an item. Trump can be open to other ideas.. he’s not that stubborn. He wants respect and I would think that is not a petty thing. When he has the respect and has good people around him, I don’t see him as a stubborn man. I see him strong ... but I do see him weak when he talks to some of the reporters. He does not need to talk to those who are appointed to take him out.
I look at Cruz and anyone else they might try to shove our way... I don’t trust Cruz either. He is not bullish enough on illegal immigrants.. nor the wall.. nor other things. Trust is not an easy thing to earn.. I don’t suppose an honest man could run for President.. successfully.
Did you actually read the article? It is not flattering of Cruz. It portrays him of nothing more than a useful tool to rid the party of Trump. They (GOPe) expect Hillary to win and they are fine with that. This is what you are supporting and that’s sad.
If he’s an ignorant fool, is that what you are voting for?.. someone who is not ignorant and who is not a fool?.. the next man on your list can be weak, lie, give in to the left... but just don’t be ignorant nor a fool. That does rule out most of them.
I weighed Cruz and Trump for most of the time they were both running, at first... then I heard Cruz lie about what Trump said/says. I heard Trump speak and then Cruz came on next and told us all what Trump just said. The problem was.. I heard Trump and Trump did not say what Cruz said he did. Cruz repeated it on the next program.. and it was a lie.. Trump did not say that. Plain and simple... Cruz was lying.
I heard Cruz say this and other things... more and more... lies.. you can’t say Cruz didn’t lie.. I heard him. I was for Cruz when he refused to hit on Trump. But when he started hitting and lying... I’m done with Cruz. I’d vote for him before hill.. but I don’t like Cruz to do what he did. and he isn’t tough enough on illegals.. nor the wall.. I don’t trust him.
As for Trump, I find myself defending the one being attacked before I defend the one attacking. The more they throw at Trump, the more it sends me in Trump’s corner. Ted Cruz wants to win this at ANY cost.. and I’ve lost respect for him... Trump has always been who he is.. but Cruz showed another side of himself.. not a pretty one.
All of that may be true. But Trump is a dangerous fool who will continue to expose himself as such. It’s going to get worse - the man has no idea when to keep his stupid mouth shut. And he’s not even conservative! It would be one thing if he knew anything about anything. But he doesn’t.
“Cruz the establishment puppet. I ll pass.”
One of the most foolish/dishonest/disingenuous posts I have seen on this forum in the last 20 years. Troll. Off to DU with you.
It didn’t do any good to have all the smarts in Washington and let obama destroy the US.. They are all in one big party.. and I want it to end. If Trump is not elected, and the GOP puts in their choice.. it will be the same as it’s been.. nothing will change and we won’t recognize this country any more. And we’ll lose heart in our beloved country. When even other countries don’t want Trump, it isn’t because he’s “a dangerous fool”... it’s because he is not THEM.. and that might be the only thing that saves us. We won’t know this until he’s elected or defeated. If he’s defeated, they win. The choices on the dems’ side tell us we’re this close to losing all our freedoms. If not this time... then next time? The younger generation have been sold a lie and they don’t know the difference. The media are in the pocket of the highest bidder and ratings... no one really cares if we are in danger or not... UNTIL it all folds up and it will be too late then. One hit on our electrical power grid and we’ll be sitting ducks for attack. Plus all the deaths from no power for hospitals, homes and the food chain. Those in power know this and do not care.. heads in sand. Being conservative or not won’t matter then.. hardly matters now.
Yeah, he should be more like George W and be a punching bag for 16 years!
Exactly! And how the Cruzettes here are loving their new bedfellows. Odd that, but I guess money is money so pumping up little Teddy must pay well - or something.
Silly bunch of folks who refuse to look at reality.
Can’t convince conservatives who are RIGHT here, yet they believe the magic of the GOPe and the MSM.
Insanity reigns.
I was wondering about that. Is that a military funeral?
When posted on another thread, a FReeper said it was from a 9/11 run.
There WERE bikers at the Trump rallies in WI this weekend, but the foliage on the trees is the dead give-a-way that this ain’t them.
