I hope if you've been paying attention these past few days, you're beginning to understand my position, and why I've been so forceful, consistent, and aggressive in my advocacy of it. Many of you already understood, but certainly there are many others who still need to figure it out. In just the last couple of days, Donald Trump has promised reprisals against his critics when he's elected president, pledging to "open up" libel laws so that he can punish anyone who writes "negative" or "false" stories about him. He said his critics "will have problems" when he's in power. Remember, Trump claims that EVERY critique of him, no matter how true, is "false," so he is clearly vowing to outlaw all criticism of government. If Obama had said anything even remotely in the neighborhood of this when he was running for president, every conservative in the country would've exploded with rage (justifiably). But Trump said it and it hardly sparked much of a backlash at all. Then Trump proceeded to retweet a quote from Benito Mussolini, the Fascist dictator, and later admitted that he knew the quote was from Mussolini but decided to distribute it anyway. To be clear, for anyone who isn't versed in recent world history, quoting Mussolini is exactly morally analogous to quoting Hitler. It would be like Trump finding a passage in Mein Kampf and sympathetically reading it at one of his rallies. Finally, this morning Trump refused to repudiate David Duke and the KKK. Later on Twitter he backpedaled, but when asked on TV if he would denounce the white supremacists who've endorsed him, Trump dodged. He was pressed specifically on denouncing the KKK and he refused. The KKK, people. Donald Trump was reluctant to say, "Yes, obviously I disown the KKK and object to everything they say and do." Initially Trump avoided the question by saying he has to investigate the KKK to figure out if he agrees with them or not. Now, guys, this was all in the span of just three days. And it should be noted that a great number of his fans cheered him on when he promised to censor speech and defended him when he quoted Mussolini and refused to criticize white supremacy. I said last week that the scariest thing about Trump is that he's running as a tyrant, unabashedly so, and his fans want him BECAUSE of it. His fans are explicitly asking for Trump to rule as an emperor. They don't desire freedom or liberty anymore, and they don't give a damn about the Constitution. What they want is a political Strongman who will "restore America's greatness" through brute and oppressive force. I should remind you, historically, this plan has never worked out well for the common man. Just ask the folks who lived under Trump's mentor in fascist Italy. We are watching our nation march headlong into tyranny and despotism, and the cattle following along are quite aware of, and enthusiastic about, where the cattle train is going. While Trump will not repudiate white supremacy, his fans have indeed repudiated freedom and independence, and are desperately asking their Great Master to subjugate them for the good of the country. It's madness and it must be stopped. If you can't see that now, you never will -- until it's too late.

When will Cruz release his COMPLETE tax returns (rather than the summaries that he has posted on his website)?
I predict that you will see Trump’s returns before Cruz ever does that.
What is Cruz hiding?
Nothing.
LOL!
I appreciate the details. Keep up the good work, fellow long-time FReeper.
I know why you have such bad Trump Derangement Syndrome.
You have a Spanish screen name. Thus, you are an illegal immigrant. Donald Trump will FedEx yer ass back to Guatamala.
This election cycle is way past the point of a candidate speaking ill of a fellow pubbie, in any direction.
Rubio calls Trump a small peckered, orange skinned, con man, Cruz says Trump is connected to the mafia, and Trump has been saying anything that pops into his head.
If you want quiet civility in this election cycle, just listen to classical music, because it ain't happening with the candidates {except Dr. Ben}
But what choice do we have...There's one restaurant in town that has only one item on the menu...A corned beef sandwich and it tastes terrible...It's all they've got so we continue to buy it week after week...One day they add a chicken sandwich to the menu...The steady customers tell me that even tho the corned beef sandwiches are disgusting to eat, corned beef is by far a better choice than chicken so they order another corned beef sandwich...Not me, I'm going for the chicken...Going to try it out...
formatting is your friend.
So why is everybody so anxious to embrace the white version of Obama in 2016?
I didn’t think everybody is so anxious to embrace Rubio.
I was referring to the narcissist whose acolytes swoon over his every vulgarity and who support him not for any of the positions he has held all his public life but for the promise that he will force CHANGE.
Ah, you are a Rubio supporter.
Please accept my apology.
I Did not mean to offend.
“Mary Magdalene the prostitute comes to mind...
God used her as the first woman preacher...”
Good shot, Nana : )
Actually, I’m not a Rubio supporter, and you didn’t offend me at all. No apology necessary. I do not, however, support the mega-donor to the Clinton Foundation, and I am amazed at how many here at FR do.
With all due respect, JR published a thread on why he supports Trump (I believe in event of Cruz exit from race). I suggest you acquaint yourself with the thread, then you will understand.
From what I am reading, GOPe will foist either Rubio or Romney as our alternative to Trump. Again, I would recommend you review Jr’s thread.
Mary Magdalene was neither a prostitute nor a preacher.
Senator Cruz -- Dump This Dumb S.O.B.!
