We may have to settle for what we can get.
There are no perfect candidates.
I am a Cruz supporter but will vote for Trump if he gets the nomination.
I’m with you. Once you’ve considered Trump, the real conservative moves on to Cruz. Why accept a johnny come lately pretend conservative? Trump figured out how to manipulate the government to get rich using the millions his dad gave him (or as he’d tell it he pulled himself up by his bootstraps). Now, he wants to use conservatives to get him into the White House.
I donât like NY attitude. I do like tough talk, but in the vein of Ronald Reagan, a very nice man, who knew when to talk and when to let his actions speak for him.
Trump is not that type. He is a brash, NY jerk. In my book, all NY jerks talk tough, so talk is cheap, and trash talkers are foolish.
========================================================w But it’s straightforward and unfiltered....you know where he stands and he doesn’t equivocate. Would you rather have someone with pretty face and nice southern drawl smile to your face and stab you in the back (ignore you with their policies/votes, follow orders from PTB)? Bless, your heart. (I know both types having lived in both north and south).
News Flash!!!
I am not the author. I only posted the article, besides I am a she, not a he.
GOT IT?
If you left in 1980, you don’t even know who he is. Please. He was still building his company in those days. Look at the interviews.
For others who don’t hate NYC: in a sense, he has always reminded me of Ed Koch, who as a congressman in the 60s and was a quiet individual who went through life unnoticed. He became mayor and suddenly ba-boom! We had a major personality on our hands. Trump was so boring in the 70s that friends of mine who had dates with him dropped him due to the non-personality factor. I guess he was, like Koch, hiding his light under a bushel.
Trump = wall.
He’s also done really great job at marrying lots of foreign hotties and shucking them for upgrades after they age a bit, which is a big plus with American Christian voters.
So do I and he is correct.
That is your basis for your statement? Nothing like flat out lying is there?
I don’t think anything makes me angrier than someone determining that God is in their own personal little box, that He is restricted by their rules, that no one is a Christian unless they say so, that they know the mind of God and speak for Him.
Would I hire Trump as a pastor? Nope. Would I vote for Billy Graham as President? Nope. God has often used the ungodly to work his will.
Do I support Trump? No. I prefer Cruz. But would I vote for Trump over Hillary or Sanders? Yep! I’d crawl across broken glass to do so, as the saying goes. I’d even vote for Jeb over Hillary, although I’d clothespin my nose and then wash my hand with alcohol.
At this point in time, I’m not sure we need a “prudent man” for President. Sometimes reckless gets more done.
I don’t want my daughter to marry someone like Trump, but that is not the question.
And Trump gave the only SANE answer to that gotcha question since the next question would have been "for what?"
George W. Bush ran as a "born again Christian" and yet said that we (Christians and Jews) and Muslims all worship the same God.
And don't forget Jimmah, who ran as a born-again Southern Baptist and yet condemned Israel every chance he had.
OH Bryanw92 you hit the nail on the head with columnist/commentator being “pridefull and a bag of ego...:
His enemies will stoop to anything
That shows me that you don't get it and never will.
He should know that Hillary, her political agents and her built-in voting block are all quite pleased with his lack of foresight and inability to understand cause and effect.
“I understand the tremendous popularity of Donald Trump in America in 2015...He is a larger than life reality TV star”
He OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT understand Trump’s popularity if he includes the TV star aspect.
Most of us COULD CARE LESS regarding that.
I don’t think a 3rd party will help. We need a leader who can clean house. Get REAL conservatives (of any stripe) in with this election, then next election remove the rest of GOPe, especially those hold over, professional GOPe politicians. Hatch, Cornyn, etc. They talk a good talk on the tv and when they’re up for election, then they return to dc and do exactly as their corporate contributors want.
Aw, geez, here we go again! Throw the election to the Democrats because the Republican candidate didn’t meet your lofty ideals! That got us 8 years of Obama! You want 8 years of Hillary?
