Monday morning quarterbacking I see.

So where was TRUMP sticking his neck out politically ?

Ohh, right, he can’t, he is not in government.

That high energy : THE DON’S WAY DRINK KOOLAID must be mighty potent for the Trump supporters.

What makes anyone weak is the Trump supporters doing some good old fastioned Monday morning quarterbacking.

Where was Donald Trump at sticking his political neck out ?

Because he can’t, he’s RICHY RICH, and won’t ever have to worry about losing his job for saying anything wrong or politiaclly incorrect.

VDK is in serious denial and when he is served the same thing he dishes out (cynicism directed at his favorite candidate), all he can do is come back and attribute the very worst of motives to a guy who has politically accomplished a whole helluva lot more than VDK. Sounds like envy to me.

That said ... while I think Trump is a YUGE bad risk for conservatives wanting to avoid Republican moderates (Trump's past indicates at best a political moderate), I believe his intentions are good and spring from a true America-loving heart. I think Trump is Schwarzenegger on a national scale, a patriotic pop culture "super hero" for whom real conservative politics is getting in over his head.

VDK, on the other hand, attributes the worst of motives to my candidate, Cruz. Very revealing.

“VDK. Sounds like envy to me.”

Yeah that’s what it is. Has to be.

Almost like debating Obama drones on other sites. Run out of argument, pull a narrative out of thin air and use “shaming language”.

Sometimes it’s like talking to a wall, isn’t it?

Keep fighting the good fight.

Wow!! {^) Talk about a classic case of projection!!! {^)

...and use "shaming language".

"Shaming" is a word you pulled out of thin air, and again ... it's revealing.

“So where was TRUMP sticking his neck out politically ?

No, he’s not. He’s in a far more dangerous position as a private citizen whom the left has hit. Targeting his businesses for saying this stuff long before any of the other candidates have. Perhaps that’s why he is where he is while Cruz is tied with Rubio.

But when you are in the senate for 6 years guaranteed, you can be “brave” by just doing your job?

“What makes anyone weak is the Trump supporters doing some good old fastioned Monday morning quarterbacking.”

You mean like the “weak” people on this site when we do the same for everyone in government? Shame on us.

Well, Booo hooo hoo, poor old Don.

THE DON can only blame himself and no one else for putting himself out there in the media.

Remember ?

The rhetoric from the Trump supporters ?

For example :

He can handle it ?

Remeber ?

Or has the : THE DON’S POTENT KOOLAID HIGH ENERY DRINK made the Trump supporters short on memory ?

Remember ?

THE DON thrives and lives for this kind of stuff.

Don’t give me that disingenuous answer about poor old Donald Trump.

While at the same ?

His supporters go coo coo over cooca Puffs every time THE DON opens his mouth and his supporters cheer him on, and when the media attacks him.

While at the same time spout out rhetoric that THE DON “ can handle it “ the media what ever attacks they may..

Then go on amd say things like that he loves this stuff, or lives for this, or thrives on this stuff.

It’s either, or, can’t have it both ways.

Either poor old DON, or the Don takes charge and by golly he sure we’ll as can handle it, he lives for this stuff.

Cry me a river .... Poor old DON... Boo hoo hoo.

Don’t tell me that crap..

The hypocrisy from the Trump supporters is astounding to say the least.

The hypocrisy from the Trump supporters is astounding to say the least.

Another interesting bit of hypocrisy is that they claim Trump "can't be bought" -- when for 21 of the past 26 years, he donated slightly more to Democrat political candidates (including Reid, Clinton, Rangel, Kennedy, Schumer, and Kerry, among others) than to Republican candidates!!! To advance his own financial gain and that of his shareholders!

Only in 2011 did he start contributing to Republicans (including Romney and other GOPe types) to the exclusion of Democrats.

His supporters, which include many of my good friends and family, assure us that it was only "the cost of doing business" and to be expected from a prudent businessman.

And they claim Trump can't be bought, when in actual on-the-ground reality he advanced to power political tyrants such as Harry Reid and Hillary Clinton, to secure his own financial gain, and in the five years out of 26 that he's limited his donations to Republicans, he's helped advance leftist moderates such as Romney.

He's a great patriot but a very bad risk for the American Constitution and the longevity of limited government conservatism.

” a patriotic pop culture “super hero” for whom real conservative politics is getting in over his head.

VDK, on the other hand, attributes the worst of motives to my candidate, Cruz. Very revealing. “

I consider his supports to highly over-rate him to the point where you guys now have to attribute magic and mystical woo in order to hide the fact that he cant shift out of single-digits, or that Jesus is “waiting for the right moment” when he can “catch fire”.

He has become worse that a “pop star”, he is essentially “the smartest and greatest candidate ever to run in the history of the nation. You just watch!!!”. He has defeated the media, and everyone is afraid of him!!!

That’s pretty much the rhetoric I’m getting. It’s cute, but until he starts doing more than being tied with whomever the GOPes are pushing this week, I’m going to pass on smoking whatever you guys are.

That’s fine. But I’m far more impressed by a guy that started out with almost universal dismissal to earning every % point in support he has, than attributing mystical magical and biblical attributes to the person in 3rd/4th place as some sort of reason why he will soon be in 1st and win the presidency because....reasons.

Then why the Monday morning quarterbacking ?

Teddy Rosevelt : “ The credit belongs to the man who is “ actually “ in the arena.

” those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat “ .......

Pack that in your pipe and smoke it...

Donald Trump has done nothing of any consequence in the arena where things could actually get done or effect American lives except open his big mouth.

Actually ?

It is talking to a wall since Donald Trump talks so much about some phantom wall to be build.

That : THE DON’S WAY POTENT MIGHT HIGH ENERGY KOOLAID DRINK does wonders to people’s memories.

It’s exactly the same behaviour we saw from the Obama Koolaid drinkers in 2008 and 2012.

*sigh*

Not from me, it ain't. Nor from most of the Cruz supporters I see here.

Trump, on the other hand, says the same things Cruz has been saying for ages, and his supporters practically fall on their backs and pee over their heads in delight, as if Trump was the first and only guy to say them.

You think Trump isn't GOPe -- at your own risk.

That’s one thing we agree on, The DON can handle himself in the media, ..... More like a mindless running fullbore running back running his mouth of.

Was it THE DON ? or Moses that parted the Red Sea ?

Yeah, the Trump supporters attribute us for saying mystical biblical things about Ted Cruz whereas they put THE DON up there with God.
