I do not doubt that Cruz would have had a hard road to 270 though I'm not quite as pessimistic as you are. But I think Trump will have just as hard a slog as Cruz would have.
“You mean political gridlock or political revolution? “
Actually, I was referring to American and French Revolutions. America’s rebellion against the Monarchy evolved into a positive pursuit of Enlightenment ideals. Ultimately, America replaced the Devine Right with individual rights. The French Revolution, while couched in similar rhetoric, was primarily a negative response to a failed monarchy. Condemnation of the Monarchy provided an impetus for rebellion, but metastasized into the raison d’etre for revolution. Patriotism was usurped by partisanship.
Our nation avoided this path, but now faces a future without foundation. Washington faced down the demons of despotism with a keen understanding of man’s sinful nature.
dang smartphone doesnt know how to spell.
but it is funny
Don’t you know there are some on this forum who believe that you shouldn’t post anything that plants seeds of doubt against their favorite candidate?
See their seething anger? The anger they don’t recognize in themselves but point out in those who disagree with them?
Trump is scary to some of us, looking much like a tyrant who perhaps a majority of voters thinks will somehow be benevolent.
Then we’re left with a couple of three candidates that don’t have the eligibility, or charisma, or competitive viciousness to compete with a deal maker who will do whatever it takes to accomplish what he sets out to do.
Neither Broom Hillary nor Donald Trump appear to me to be certain to nominate conservative Supremes(arguably the most critical deed of the next Presidency), and I’ll admit I’m scared to death of either becoming POTUS.
That is one aggravating POS.
Nobody shouldn't confuse the cleverly-crafted script of a "reality TV" show with actual real-world reality.
The "firing" that Trump did on TV was worked out in advance by the script writers. He was playing a role, as were the people he "fired." Moreover, both Trump and his "firees" performed their roles with great skill, even with brilliance.
In any case, I submit that only people living in a TV-induced imaginary world can believe that a Prez Trump could simply snap his fingers and fire thousands of civil servants. Just ain't gonna happen, no more than he could ever force Mexico to build a concrete wall that's 40 feet tall and 2000 miles long.
Nobody should confuse . . .
>> Cutting the Fed Gov, alone, will make Trump a GREAT president <<
Can anybody actually cite a credible plan by Trump for doing same?
Or must we simply believe any and all assertions that issue forth from your GREAT leader?
Exactly. Nail on the head!
To paraphrase Trump's former best bud, Nancy P,
You've gotta elect me to find out what's in my plan.
If you had an eartick, you might be cranky, too. : )
Sad... you have been warned. Keep walking ... you will soon go over the cliff to your doom.
Deranged rubbish. Why would you even post this crap?
...another Trumpster in denial.
Yes, but the hysteria seems to infect only about 35% of likely GOP primary voters.
In other words, it's not as if an hysterical-but-minority movement could burn a Reichstag, overthrow an anticommunist government, elect a Duce, etc.
Oh, wait . . . .
GO TED GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Piss off, Brit. Deal with your own country’s problems instead of dumping your garbage over here.
NO need .. it's come to us right here without moving.
Trump is good for America. For all Americans.
Now they celebrate. Our Republic is lost.
I even read several days ago a post from a freeper saying (paraphrasing here)
they were so in love with Trump they may need to quit work to be able to stay home and watch his live television appearances after he is elected"
Talk about cult following.
You seem to project alot.
