Trade war? That is how some rube thinks. Trump is going to ransom those “motherfrakers”. We have zero to lose.

It’s worse than that. These idiots Will ACTIVELY CAMPAIGN AND WORK FOR Hillary to become President. Very conservative of them.

Yep. They complain about Trump's behavior but they themselves act like petulant children. They don't get what they want, they will make the whole country suffer.

I know we’ve had at least 1 or 2 folks openly state they’ll vote for Hillary over Trump right here at FR.

I read it but didn’t bookmark it. Incredible “logic”. One even said Hillary was more conservative than Trump.

I don’t think so. I read it earlier today or late yesterday. At least one of them.

Trump shouldn’t tack “hard right” or “hard left” to win, but keep doing what he’s doing. I don’t think he has to make any special appeals to any group, that’s the point.

“But you’d think that if he had it in him he’d already have done that.”

He has. Most of them. I’m as conservative as they come and Trump convinced me a long time ago. He doesn’t say “I’m a conservative”, but instead he espouses positions that are conservative. My experience with Republicans over at least the last decade is if they say “I’m conservative”, most likely they are not and are simply lying.

Totally agree. I just wanted to flesh out the mechanics of "healing any wounds" or hard feelings, espcreially between Cruz supporters/voters, and the Trump campaign. There isn't going to be (or shouldn't be) any personalized outreach.

“Others know Trump is a conservative. Best laugh I have had in a while.”

Indeed. Almost as funny as the hundreds of self-proclaimed “conservatives” in Congress. After all, so many of us still remember how the heroic “conservative” Congress stood up to Obama and stopped his agenda dead in its tracks by passing a budget that eviscerated his illegal immigration policies, eliminated the energy-destroying EPA, eliminated the Marxist propaganda Education Department, eliminated the job-destroying Labor Department, eliminated the racist Civil Rights Commission, defunded the FCC until they give back control of the Internet to private industry, defunded Obamacare, defunded the Planned Parenthood slaughter, defunded enforcement of 99% of Obama”s regulations and Executive Orders. It was a great day for America when that happened, when “conservatives” stopped Obama’s agenda cold.

Given all of these amazing accomplishments by the sconservatives”, it’s no wonder that the only thing that Freepers and rank-and-file Republicans everywhere care about is getting some more of them elected so that they can continue applying their “conservative” principles to such good effect.

Washington is awash in Saudi snd Soros money. Jimmy Carter, the Bushes, the Clintons, Obama, and a majority in Congress. The total purchase price is well within the means of the Saudis, Soros, and the Left in general. Then there are the bribed universities, etc.

Hopefully, given a few months of reflection and more attention on Hillary, these people might snap back into reality.

Some politicians are smart just like some people you work with at your job are smart. Not all of them are though. That’s not the characteristic that flows through all of them.

All politicians, however, are master manipulators. Think about those people at work you consider the “politicians”. How they twist, turn, manipulate chatter and events to their benefit. Those people are amateurs. The ones in Washington do it for a living. They’re professionals. They’re not necessarily smart but they are able to get ahead by twisting, turning and manipulating things to their own advantage.


Yup; couldn’t have said it any better...every word you said is what I meant.

Yes both of them say they want to secure the border, but they want a path to citizenship- amnesty for those here illegally.

In order for a “democracy” to exist, the median IQ must be at least 90. The Open Borders crowd have been importing tens of millions with IQ’s lower than that. They vote 70% pro-abortion and socialist.
