Trump screws everyone but himself
americanthinker.com ^ | 2/1/2016 | Ed Lasky

So Iowans and all people should be forewarned. You are entrusting your precious support and vote for a man who has fraudulently represented himself as someone standing up for the little guy. In reality, he has only cared about the man whose name he emblazons on every item he could. His campaign is not about you -- it is about him. And he will screw you, as he always has done.

I’m giving Cruz a chance to fix it. Failing that, I’m going Galt.

You are not alone.

Over the last 5 years I've moved 30% of my business overseas and plan on continuing that if we don't get a real conservative to turn things around.

Trump's use of eminent domain to line his pockets at other people's expense is just one of many reasons I won't support him. Real conservatives fight for the the weak and unprotected. They don't bludgeon them with the power of the state.

Any objective observer who has watched Trump from the day he announced to now, would have to admit there has been a transformation of the guy.

In the beginning in seemed like he really was for the American people and doing what was best for them. But then he changed and more of his conversation and speech seemed to focus on him and his battle with his opponents.

In this battle he took no prisoners, but he didn't seem to focus on policy or more details on little he had laid out. His focus was on destroying the people running against him. People he had once(many times recently) praised and spoke highly of, where suddenly nothing but dog cr#p.

That is called breaking your word. It seems like he says what ever is the most advantageous at the time, about anything, everything and everyone. I had high hopes for Trump, now I have lots of doubts. He has to re convince me who or what he is. At this point in time, I see him as an opportunist.

We have a new idea floating around the Establishment: up until Trump, every candidate was a self-effacing martyr who dedicated his life to the little guy. Nixon, Carter, Bush, Obama, Clinton were all egoless non-politicians who humbly took the oath of office while beating his breast over his Bible.

There has been enough posted on Trump being a big DEM donor, supporting the Clinton’s, on abortion stance etc. If you didn’t take the time to read it shame on you. You are just hearing what “tickles the ear”. Not the truth.

LOL! Yup. Even among our own FRanks. ALL of the republicrat can’t-i-dates need to be hammering the dem can’t-i-dates. Tout your plans, policies, goals and quit with the “Yo Mama wears combat boots”, crap and start slamming the hiledbeast and uncle bernie for cryin’ out loud. Point out there failed plans, policies and goals and the ruinous route they’ll take us further down. Are there any adults out there?

We’ve already had a “Trump is Mussolini” thread (promptly nuked by JR), we still need “Trump is Hitler” and “Trump is the Anti-Christ” threads to make the day complete.

You are absolutely right and Biden will clean donnies clock. He will have enormous sympathy vote because of his dying sons wishes for daddy to run. Biden will murder donnie in a presidential debate because that debate will have to be of substance so his childish insults and lies will not work because he has no substance.

Game, set, match, say hi to President Biden.

“At a press conference in New Hampshire in November, I pressed Trump about his record of supporting government land seizures on behalf of private businesses. He said it was a “stupid question” and went on to defend the practice as “necessary.””

I’m still voting for Trump because he will not be financed by others and he knows how to get things done. Nothing else matters.

I think I am going to go the Examiner for my news.

“It was a rare D.C. visit by Philip Anschutz, ranked by Forbes as the 37th richest man in America. But Anschutz’s ownership of The Washington Examiner, a daily tabloid, and The Weekly Standard, probably the nation’s most influential conservative magazine, has given him a megaphone for his right-wing views on taxes, national security and President Barack Obama that the 130 or so companies he owns have not provided him.”

Coming soon to FR, what you predicted.

This is panic time for those on the Open Borders payroll. They might be unemployed by tomorrow!

“I am guessing one slam of Trump every 15 minutes, not counting duplicate posts.”

And once he wins Iowa, the “you’ve killed us all” posts will begin. haha
