I keep seeing all these Trump attack articles talking about some liberal comment or association he has had 2 years ago, or 20 years ago.
As a service to both people who like Trump and people who hate Trump, here is exactly what you need to do to make myself and just about any other person who is a Trump supporter bail on him and run to the nearest Cruz or Rubio exit!
Post an audio or video of Trump saying any one of the following things. (Feel free to add to the list folks)
1. I want to reach across the aisle and compromise with the democrats so that we can get things done in Washington.
2. Stopping immigration is not what America is all about. The statue of Liberty says to give me your tired and poor...blah blah...
3. Illegal immigration is an act of love
4. Islam is the religion of peace. Muslims are not terrorists
Basically you want to destroy the I.S. so China and Muslims take over. Good luck with that.
X. I was wrong, it doesn’t matter where the President or any candidate for President was born.
This is my point, there is a lot of mudslinging going on with people posting anti trump propaganda all the time. He is not perfect. But people will not be swayed away from him unless he displays weakness like some of the other candidates. If Trump wins the primary, it will be because a mass majority voted for him to win. Is that bad? If Rubio or Jeb wins, it will be because the GOP jiggered the delegate or state primary rules in their favor.
A great day on the campaign trail with my daughter, Ivanka Trump. Here we are in New Hampshire this afternoon. I am proud of all my children, and grateful for their support. They will do a great job with the organization - should I have the honor to be your #POTUS. Thank you for a terrific day!

I'm good with all that, but I don't understand how posting a vanity entitled: "Here is how to destroy Trump", has anything to do with it.
Makes no sense to me. The title sounds like an invitation to a food fight.
The Czech-American part is interesting.
“Ivana Marie Trump (February 20, 1949) is a Czech-American former athlete, socialite, and fashion model known for her marriage to American business magnate Donald Trump.”

No you don't! You don't smear me with your fake accusations and recycled vitriol. You are pathetic, out trying to destroy the only hope this country has because you have a 2nd grade intellect and can't defend your ideas. You are the reason the GOP will succeed. Jerks like you keep bringing us down, spreading your poison, and working to defeat conservatives.
Here’s one for you:

Message to the GOP: Trump supports amnesty
Foreign and Defense Policy, Immigration, Politics and Public Opinion
Trump’s supporters loved his promise this week to create a “deportation force†to remove all 11 million illegal immigrants living in America, and his repeated declaration that everyone here illegally will “have to go.â€
But his supporters tend to overlook is his other promise — repeated in Tuesday’s Fox Business debate — that under his immigration plan “they will come back.â€
That’s right. Under Trump’s immigration plan almost all of 11 million illegal aliens (save for a small minority with criminal records) will get to return and get permanent legal status to stay here in America.
On the Kelly File Thursday, Trump’s son Eric expressed frustration that the media overlooks this:
The point isn’t just deporting them, it’s deporting them and letting them back in legally. He’s been so clear about that and I know the liberal media wants to misconstrue it, but its deporting them and letting them back legally.
Eric Trump is right. His father has been crystal clear that he wants all the illegals to return and live in America.
Listen closely to what Trump is actually proposing. In an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash earlier this year, Trump explained his plan this way:
I would get people out and then have an expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal…. A lot of these people are helping us … and sometimes it’s jobs a citizen of the United States doesn’t want to do. I want to move ’em out, and we’re going to move ’em back in and let them be legal.
This is a policy called “touchback†and it was first proposed in 2007 by moderate Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (TX). She offered a “touchback†amendment on the Senate floor that would have required illegal immigrants to return to their home countries to apply for a special “Z visa†that would allow them to reenter the United States in an expedited fashion and work here indefinitely.
Her amendment lost by a relatively close margin, 53-45. It was supported by most Republicans and even got five Democratic votes — Sens. Claire McCaskill, Max Baucus, Jon Tester, Byron Dorgan and John Rockefeller all voted for it.
The idea was considered so reasonable that in an April 22, 2007 editorial entitled “Progress on Immigration,†the New York Times declared:
It’s not ideal, but if a touchback provision is manageable and reassures people that illegal immigrants are indeed going to the back of the line, then it will be defensible.
So what Trump is proposing today — sending illegal immigrants back to their home countries and then allowing the “good ones†to return in an “expedited†fashion — was endorsed by the liberal New York Times!
In fact, the idea even got the support of — wait for it — illegal immigrants.
In 2007, the Los Angeles Times did the first telephone poll of illegal immigrants and asked whether they would go home under a “touchback†law that allowed them to return with legal status. Sixty-three percent said yes, 27% said no and 10% were undecided. If they were promised a path to citizenship when they returned, the number who said they would leave and return legally grew to 85%.
Donald Trump’s detractors were aghast at his invocation during the Fox Business debate of President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s “Operation Wetback†which forcibly removed 1.5 million illegal immigrants, and his promise the following day to establish a “deportation force†to remove the 11 million illegal immigrants living in America today.
Never mind the fact that we already have a “deportation force†– it’s called US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The fact is, Trump won’t need a “deportation force†or an “Operation Wetback†to get illegal immigrants to go home – because he has promised that they can return quickly with legal status.
The vast majority of illegal immigrants say they would voluntarily cooperate with Trump’s plan.
If anything, the “touchback†plan Trump endorses was attacked by conservatives back in 2007. In an editorial, National Review called touchback a “fraud†that gives illegal aliens “their own privileged pathway†ahead of “applicants who have complied with US immigration laws.â€
That is precisely what Trump is proposing. Under his plan, illegal aliens don’t have to go to the end of the line behind those who have complied with our immigration laws. They get an “expedited way of getting them back into the country so they can be legal.†They get to cut the line and then stay in America.
So if you get past Trump’s bluster, the plan he is proposing is so liberal that it earned the support of the New York Times and the opposition of National Review.
The reason is simple: Trump’s plan is in fact a form of amnesty — you just have to leave the country briefly to get it.
So when Trump says of illegal immigrants “they all have to go,†don’t overlook the fact that under his plan almost all would be able to immediately return – and stay.
This means there is very little difference between his plan and what John Kasich and Jeb Bush are supporting.
And most of his supporters don’t even realize it.
I think he was throwing down the gauntlet to the Tee Dee Essers, who've been like a swarm of black flies as of late.
They ARE quite annoying. :)
I’m not a fan of those who don’t say what they mean and don’t mean what they say. Thanks for the alert.
We got those vitriol-filled, Tee Dee Essing meat puppets on the run.
Trump is living in their heads, rent-free.
We just have to remind them of it, daily [or hourly, if you prefer. **grin**]. :)
My point in posting this was to simply tell people what would make myself and probably 90% of other Trump supporters not want to vote for Trump so that we won’t have to waste time reading these anti Trump attack articles.
20 threads every day with left leaning quips or comments that Trump made 1, 5 or 20 years ago will not sway most of us away from him. The only thing that would sway people away would be him ‘toning it down’ or basically adopting any of Jeb, Boener, Mclame or McConnell SOP.
LOL. Every GOPe socialist who comes along you support, What ideas are you defending? You attack anyone who is conservative.
Of course, overt "mockery" isn't necessarily the same as satire. :)
Ding ding ding ding ding!
Well, yuck - yew shore zung Kenny that time, nicky. Yuk.
Quit trolling, you boob.
Like your tagline. Hopefully you’re a prophet.
LOL. Typical liberal attitude.
So, did whatshisname accomplish anything constructive with his post? That’s a serious question.
As a Trump supporter, I agree with what you said above. My vote for the man has been locked in place since sometime in July of last year, and it's highly unlikely to change. The constant stream of anti-Trump threads and posts to this website have done zip to change my mind.
Trump will remain my choice for nominee, unless and until he does something like what you suggested above. If somehow he turned traitor on all that he's promised, then my vote would go to Ted. At this late hour of the party, I don't think that's happening.
