Trump is pro America and for Americans.

The other politicians haven’t even said the word “deport”

“I don’t judge by what a candidate says. I look at his record.”

See, this is what I say and try to do as well. As far as I’m concerned that’s what we ALL should do.

But there’s this attitude, or there seems to be, from people who are upset by politicians saying one thing and doing another who have closed ears on Trump. Or actually, maybe it’s wide open ears on Trump. Regardless, they’re of the belief we should take everything Trump says at face value and believe it wholesale.

Look, if he’s sincere, great. And maybe I’m wrong and the guy is sincere. I’ll still go with the guy with a PROVEN record of conservatism regardless as to who I’m backing.

I’m not going to forget that Trump does have a questionable record and a lifetime of being about doing what’s good for Donald Trump and selling that. I try not to impulse buy much of anything, and I sure as heck am not going to impulse buy Trump.

And while I listened/watched his speech from Michigan, 51 minutes of it, and he did make some good points, there was an AWFUL LOT of superfluous fluff, IMO.

But again, if people are momentarily entertained because of the “GOPe” stomping and just want to be momentarily entertained, that’s fine. No problem.

If they’re supporting him in an “all in manner” that’s their choice I guess. It isn’t mine. And again the only thing that mystifies and concerns me about all of it is what I said- seemingly not taking his record into account at all- and the unrealistic expectations I think people have of what he would actually do- and yeah I don’t like people displaying almost cult like attitudes with ANY one person. It starts with God and man, including any potus, builds off of that. If he doesn’t, he’ll fail. And if he fails, the country likely fails.

Trump is the only one saying “deport all illegals”

The other politicians are not even saying this. So they believe they will do it. That’s insanity.

So you accuse me of posting Think Progress because of a photo OF TRUMP’S OWN book and then post an actual article from think progress.

You people are becoming truly psychotic.

Also...I stopped considering ANYTHING Michael Reagan said when he slammed the Tea Party....

Michael Reagan: Shut Up Tea Party, Your Candidates Are Kooks

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3143390/posts

He’s ridden his dads coattails long enough.

"Trump is pro America and for Americans."

You respond to facts with slogan-shouting. Typical.

Cruz has been fighting us in Washington since he arrived, facing down the entire GOP. You'd have to be stupid not to call that "for Americans."

"The other politicians haven’t even said the word “deport”

Again with the "saying." Why do you put so much stock in words as opposed to record and action? That's not wise.

Why should I care what Michael Reagan said at a different time?

You want to use that Standard for Saint Donald, expect it to come back to you.

Well, hell, in July Trump told “Morning Joe” that some of his positions are those of a Democrat.

You’d think that would have been enough to stop conservatives from considering HIM.

I think posting from TP smear pieces shows us who’s going off the deep end.

It’s the same image as their DT/Reagan hit piece...even the exact same highlighting :- /

Like Cruz? Sen Cruz is one of Trumps biggest supporters - on policy and principle. I trust Sen Cruz’s opinion...don’t you?

Politicians have destroyed America

What law have politicians or yours passed to help America? I haven't seen them do anything good(not pass any good Law). And why aren't politicians even saying the correct solution to saving America which is deport “all illegals” (what Trump is saying).

I'm talking about laws passed.

He’s not a politician, but he’s not that far removed.

He spoke of running for president on 3 separate occasions before this, spoke of running for governor of New York twice, and ran for president once before.

But more than that, he’s a guy who’s made a lifetime of selling people on something, mostly himself. Obviously he’s done a great job of it.

Look if he’s your guy, he’s your guy. He’s not mine, but I’m not here to fight over it. I just want people to be careful and use their brains and not get carried away.

But we should have a dose of skepticism for what ANYONE says who’s running for office whether they’re a “politician” or not.

America bought into Obama based on his words alone in 2008. By 2012, if not before, a lot of people wanted a refund even if he was reelected.

Sorry to offend. But I want to win. Clearly your time on this earth must be short, for you are focused on the past and not the future.

We can love, respect, and honor the man. May around here have turned him into a Saint or God.

He was a man to be admired. Not worshipped.

Well we can’t keep going the way we have been going for the last few decades importing more leftist voters from the 3rd world(immigrants legal and illegals). They have to be deported if we are going to have any chance of turning the country around. Trump is saying the correct solution “deport all illegals” . why are you against deporting 40 million leftists?

Oh, Jane. Cruz isn't in this to be Trump's supporter and lapdog. He's just playing it smart by understanding that it isn't in his interest to attack Trump.

Cruz is in this race to win. He's laying his ground game in every state.

You might owe CC an apology, Jane.

My post #33 is a link to an older FR thread in which that same image is posted....from Townhall.

It isn’t from TP.

See?

More empty sloganeering, more emphasis on talk rather than action.

You really are hopeless and you deserve your tabloid candidate.
