Thank you!
“the Middle East has always been ruled by dictators, that removing one or another results in destabilizing the region”
If the above is Trumps position, I’m wondering .. what kept him from stating it in such a clear way ... why on earth couldn’t he have stayed calm?
Instead, he blasted away with statements that made himself seem like a 9/11 truther, whether he is or not.
I fear for November, because with the help of the establishment, we’re going to end up with a weak candidate facing either Mrs. Bill or The Bern.
I’ll vote for Trump if is comes to that. Over Hillary or the Socialist/Communist? Are you kidding? I’ll support any Republican over those two.
But Trump looked un-presidential last night. He looked the fool. Sad to say.
You fooled me. Anyway, since you’ll vote for him, he doesn’t need to market to you (or me) and he’s not. He’s got many millions of others he needs to reach, and he won’t get there by being hard-right, and he knows it.
If this is a common trait of conspiracy theorists, it's very interesting to me. I know an otherwise brilliant young man who perfectly fits this description of black and white, and there's no room for any shades of gray for him, in anything.
He has a lot of odd theories, and this may explain one reason he won't budge from his theories ... because if he were to back down to any other explanation, and with no room for gray, he would be a liar in his own mind.
I think we just witnessed an epic final act of the Trump Campaign.
The point of the Debates is to give the Dems talking points against the GOP...for use in the General
Yeah, we want wimpy spineless cowards afraid to speak up! Give us Jeb Bush dammit!!!
Kasich couldnt deliver Ohio and Obama won their twice.
thats exactly what I tell people when they ask me about Katich. Also remember Boehner saying Ohio would vote for Romney in the latest election.
I disregarded both of them right after the W by Obama. If you can’t deliver your home state, then don’t predict a W....
JEB was a fool to invoke W’s record into this process. Poor optics.
GWB isn’t running, and I agree all Jeb does is try to ride coat tails of his dad and brother. then he mistakenly brings his mother into it.
Donald is nuking him through his family only because Jeb can’t just run as himself.

And in that regard The Donald checkmated them
1. I was against Iraq - Hillary you were for it - Hilly Loses
2. Bush lied for whatever interpretation you want to put on it - their line, they can’t say he originated it...
Exactly
that;s the BEST explanation I’ve heard so far.
because the whole invasion defies logic otherwise.
our poor vets!!!
Trump showed he was a chump when he said the reason we went into Iraq was because of WMDs. ...Iraq had violated 17 United Nations no-nos and the UN consented on taking down Saddam’s country. ...Intelligence agencies in the US, Russia, England and other countries said there were WMDs there. ....Why does Trump use the old Democrat lie that they didn’t find WMDs, just to attack loser Bush??
When the coalition forces took over they found mobile labs that had been making the deadly gases that Saddam had used on the Kurds. They also found buried WMDs whose effective use-by dates had expired. Iraqi officers admitted to using truck convoys and cargo aircraft to transfer WMDs to Syria, some of which were used later by Assad against his opposition.
“Of course he had WMDs. We gave them to him to use against Iran. But we were told there was more than that.
we were told about mobile production facilities. we were told about active nuclear biological chemical weapon weapons programs and production facilities. we were told about links to al quaeda. we were told that he represented a clear and present danger to the US and that preemptive military was necessary. we were told the intelligence was credible. we were told we would be greeted as liberators. We were told major combat operations were over. None of it was true.
Americans were already scared to death after 9-11 and he exploited that fear to sell the war. “
EVERY single talking point has been thoroughly discredited so many times that one more by me won’t get past your skull. One question though: WHAT was Bush’s motivation? Hmmmm?
The UN authorized the US to form a coalition and take down Saddam because he had violated at least 17 resolutions and was killing his own people, including the Kurds with WMDs.
Thanks for posting the links regarding the Iraq WMDs!
Cruz damaged himself with so many lies. It was pathtic.
*******************************************
I asked you on another thread to list the lies, but you apparently are unable to do so.
Repeating your mantra of “Cruz lied” during the debate, without presenting proof, is what’s pathetic.
It’s sad to watch the GOP attack it’s best possible candidate because he’s an outsider.
**********************************
But Cruz is still standing up to the Trump, Carson and GOP-e attacks!
