Giving money doesn’t mean you agree with anyone’s policies but in NY, everyone comes after you for money and you give so they will leave you alone.

Yeah, let's put that guy in charge of our foreign policy.

Trump is a Democrat.

It is sad to see so many people burn their Conservative Principles for this liberal corrupt celebutard

You are correct. Building the wall, ending illegal immigration, deporting the criminal element & sponges (which there are so many) is the winning issue.

Sad, isn’t it.

I think this could easily kill FR. If Trump wins we get to see the Rah Rah chorus praise every leftwing thing he does.

Cruz voted for McConnell to remain speaker too. Maybe the Trump bashers are talking about another Cruz?

If Trump is so awesome and is so good at making the deal as we have been told, how could he allow himself to be shaken down by a 2-bit hustler like Sharpton?

Yes he did. Which is how he lost the #1 position on my list. He’s #2 now. Guess who is #1??

As long as he throws in some pithy insults at a liberal sacred cow, former conservatives can forgive anything!

Trump may very well not be a conservative.

He’s the only one who is going to build a Wall. Cruz can’t

He’s the only one who is going to throw out the Mexican gangs. Cruz can’t

Cruz is the Democrats idea of a perfect conservative. One who can talk a good talk, but can’t get anyone to follow him.

How Sharpton gets paid to not cry ‘racism’ at corporations
The New York Post
January 4, 2015

Want to influence a casino bid? Polish your corporate image? Not be labeled a racist?

Then you need to pay Al Sharpton.

For more than a decade, corporations have shelled out thousands of dollars in donations and consulting fees to Sharpton’s National Action Network. What they get in return is the reverend’s supposed sway in the black community or, more often, his silence. (snip)

GeronL, that’s okay.

We haven’t been able to get a Conservative nominated since Reagan. How long do we keep trying that?

Are you going to vote for Bush, Chrisie, Fiornia, Gilmore, and a number of other luke warm buckets of horse sweat?

I won’t.

You’re not going to get Cruz, Walker, or Carson. The Democrats and Moderate Republicans don’t want them. LOok at what our own party calls those who champion these men the most, the Tea Party. Traitors and terrorists...

By April of next year, we will either have nominated Trump, or the nation will be done. We can’t deficit spend as we have for another four years.

That’s my take on it. If that’s Leftist, so be it.

I don’t see it that way. Trump is not hawking Leftist ideology.

Trump bought Sharpton. Big difference.

I don’t think Trump is going to build a wall.

Never going to happen.

Trump is intent on destroying the Republican Party, who is going to be running Congress but Trump’s pals Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.

Trump is not on our side.
