Archie the Cockroach was exempted from using the shift key because he typed by jumping on the keys and he couldn’t jump on two at once.

He never said he would ASK them not to do abortions. Are you using the French translation?

I would vote for Coburn or Perry over Trump, who is not a conservative.

How Progressive of you!

Coburn and Perry are both fine fellows. But neither are presidential, nor electable! We've seen this to be the case twice in Perry's case.

Trump, on the other hand, is electable.

Presidential? Well, maybe. We'll just have to see! Trump can turn presidential on a dime, when the atmosphere calls for being presidential, as opposed to combative. It is a rare talent!

I voted for Ted in the Massachusetts primary. But my gut feel is, the Donald will work out OK in the job. Even if he turns out to be a disaster, he'll be far better than Hillary or Bernie! As Rush said, the Trump upside is far higher than the downside.

You are mixing two things that do not coincide. When I ran a large corporation it was prudent to support some powerful people I did not like. “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer,” is often good business practice. It is doubtful Trump went looking for these opportunities for donations. His support was solicited with appropriate guarantees for political support of one or more of his many projects. It is not reasonable to infer support for a particular cause into legal extortion by powerful movers and shakers.
As to Trump’s conservativism I am satisfied that he loves this country and will undo the some of the worse horrors of liberalism. Whether we ever get our country back from the march of Marxism depends entirely on how we as a people rise above our hedonism to become people who deserve to live in a shining city on a hill.
Hillary must be denied the presidency. I believe Trump has the bulldog tenacity to make that happen.

We have Trump’s official registration records since 1987 publicly available online. In that time, he has been a Republican for over twice as long as he was a Democrat, yet tremendous numbers of Cruz supporters like to pretend that he has always been a Democrat (he was a Republican from 1987-1999, then he was a member of Perot’s Reform Party) and just recently switched from the Democratic Party back to the Republicans (rather than 7 years ago). Stopping illegal immigration and cracking down on Islamic terrorists most certainly don’t fit in the current Democratic Party anyway, as it rapidly hurls toward its anti-American, Progressive hard left.

Nobody knows who Coburn is. Hardly anyone knows who Perry is. They don’t have a chance. And Trump is promising a conservative agenda.

Check Westchester County, where Trump outpolls Hillary. If he takes Westchester, he most certainly takes the inner burbs of LI. Not to mention Staten Island. With upstate a lock, Trump wins NY and I don’t care what Hillary does in Manhattan.

“Cruz polls extremely well against Hillary.”
