Each day I become more and more sure that we need to coalesce soon behind one candidate. For me that candidate is Trump.
Sure, we need to get through a couple primaries, and all the articles and pundits out there who try and drive him off course, but one thing is for sure. The more I hear him speak, the more I like what I hear.
WE don't need specifics at this point. Most of the electorate, informed or uninformed, needs to hear goals, i.e. the final outcome.
I want to hear the generalities, about making this country great again, and us feeling good about ourselves again. About strengthening our military, improving our economy, lowering taxes.
I went through the God awful Carter years as a young man, and malaise now is ten times worse than it was then.
Trump has a book out on this!!!!! He needs to be heard.
HE was in Michigan last night. Every line spoken was music to our weary tired ears, that have heard nothing, but Obama nonsense day after day after day after.
Contrast this with what we hear from Hillary. The more you hear from her, the more you scratch your head disliking her.
I CANNOT IMAGINE THIS LADY AS OUR PRESIDENT. IT CANNOT HAPPEN.
BUT HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE:
I think Trump needs to come out at some time soon, hopefully tonight, and declare that he is NOT going to run as a third party guy.
THEN WE COALESCE BEHIND HIM. AND IF HE HAS THE GOOD SENSE TO INCLUDE THE CURRENT FIELD INTO HIS ADMINISTRATION...MAYBE EVEN ANNOUNCE CRUZ OR CARSON ETC AS A RUNNING MATE, THEN NO ONE CAN BEAT US.
He does that, and it will go a long way, in my mind and for many others, to tell us he is serious. I then see him attracting all people from all political, ethnic, social etc backgrounds.
Anyway, that's my two cents worth this morning.
Trump or Cruz?
Trump or Cruz?
Trump or Cruz?
Why not both?
Trump currently lives in New York, but I think he’s originaly from Chicago. That’s a double whammy in my book. Unfortunately I don’t think I will find a candidate that resides in Park County, WY or Boundary County, ID or middle of no where AK. We do need to be extra careful when evaluting candidates from big cities and blue states.
Hell, no. The guy’s never admitted he’s wrong, never sought forgiveness (”I forgive myself”). Just HELL, no.
I also want Cruz, but if he can’t break out and Donald keeps going you get a probable one term of Trump and a VP Cruz who does the next eight years IMO.
dear eric,
your one word answer, i.e., ‘no’, shows no intelligence in the field of politics.
you OWE the person reading your one word answer, the decency as to WHY you say ‘no’, and should you elucidate such in a prroper manner, you MIGHT gain an acquaintance, to side with your one word answer.
Should you not, then the image i have of you, is the child in the dunce cap, in the corner of the room, with a large pouty lower lip.
You are not going to get everyone to coalesce behind any one candidate now, and frankly it’s silly to ask.
dear hoosiermama,
re:COUNTRY ABOVE PARTY
COUNTRY ABOVE IDEOLOGY
I agree.
Perhaps a dedicated thread is in order?
If only Trump picks him.
Let’s support conservatism instead.
Let’s not.
I think you just wrote John Boehner's tagline.
We need both. Without ideology, we are losing the country.
Not a chance in hell. Trump is a carnival barker, telling you what you want to hear - he doesn’t believe a word of it.
So are the rest of them. Our elections for President have become one long reality show, based on looks and sound bites rather any substance.

We need someone who not only mouths conservative slogans, but who has followed conservative principles in his personal life. Trump so completely fails that test, it’s not even open to discussion.
I looked it up and I stand corrected. Trump was born in Queens, NY.
The Presidential race is not the top priority any more. First we must kill the enemy: the statist oligarchy who rules us with their media SS Troops. We can’t do it without brave leadership and no one else can or will do this but Trump.
Who cares WHAT stupid party he uses?
If he clears out the chains of political correctness, we can enjoy a real constitutional employee president like Cruz.
