That's not answer. Which tells me you can't.

Thanks!

Ping to excellent article.

Thanks, grey_whiskers.

I may be ready for something different also, but that’s no reason to support a liberal.

Honestly, I didnt read greys thread post before I posted that. I am thinking about printing some version of it on 3x5s and stuffing my rant into every neighborhood mailbox, federal laws be damned.

People like executive summaries. I think my rant qualifies.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Great minds and all that sort of rot, I am sure ;-)

I don’t think posting a very long post on a complex topic late at night is a good start.

BMRK for later.

See my tagline. I believe I’m the only one here at FR.

Name one thing, other than an expired tax cut, that a supposed ‘conservative’ has accomplished at the federal level over the past 25 years. Professional politicians from both parties are working for the same team (which doesn’t include you and I) and you are arguing for trying another professional ‘conservative’?

[Norm Lenhart]

Trump isn’t a problem. Or ‘the’ problem. The problem is people too stupid to learn the lessons of their own history.

Barvie conservatives need to learn that math isn’t hard. If you want conservatism, vote for it. If you (general sense) don’t trust the guy you vote for, the problem collectively, is ‘you’.

Why are Jonbon and Mitch able to help Berry keep the baby parts and ISIS cash flowing? Because idiots elected them after being told to their faces by those candidates they would work with Barry, not oppose him.

Same thing. And all the excuses do not change the reality. Democrats did not elect these liberals. ‘we’ did.

No matter what...

[grey_whiskers]

You're right, it wasn't an answer. I followed the example of Jesus, to answer a question with a counter-question.

Yeah, way too much over thinking, over commenting going on. There's months to go before anything gets down to a ballot box. And that's an eternity in politics. Anything can and will happen. But you know, what I find interesting in general, here there and yonder, not FR specific at all, nor not necessarily on the internet - people who've been making the "someone oughta...." complaint. "Someone oughta stand up and get in their faces" about this that and the other, "someone oughta tell those stupid people off and put them in the places...", "someone oughta stand firm, not be a wimp and give in at the first bit of resistance..." and so forth. Well, someone finally comes along and does all that - and still they bitch. Kinda like what was said in the Bible about that sort of behavior, "thou art a stiff-necked people". Yeah, well as for me, I feel like I have a ring side seat at the craziest high stakes poker game ever, am gonna ride along and see where it goes. Lots of twists, turns and surprises to be had yet before it's all done, that's for sure.

I'd support Cruz IFF:

a) he weren't for a vast increase in H1-B visas.

b) his wife weren't employed by "Goldman-Sucks."

As it is, he'd be a fine VP under Trump.

[South40]

So you're supporting a liberal because you've given up on conservatives?

Fair enough. Thanks for being honest.

Full disclosure: I am not for or against Donald Trump. As an IT geek, I must analyze the data before coming to a conclusion and I haven’t seen enough data either way to satisfy my preferred standards.

That said, what leads you to believe that Trump loves America? (No snark or tricks. Totally serious question.)

That said, what leads you to believe that Trump loves America? (No snark or tricks. Totally serious question.)

All of his "red meat" rhetoric is consistent with a "common sense" (not, you know, 'nuanced' or anything ;-) ) view of his "Make America Great Again" slogan. I tried to spell out examples towards the end of the article.

[tatown]

I’m supporting someone who isn’t a professional politician dipshit.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

Wow... We sit at the same fire. me and the pen slipper. ;-) Almost sounds like Trump and Cruz....

I swear I know nothing. I really really swear. I mean I really really really really swear.

;-)

[grey_whiskers]

Hi Lucy...what in the world is up with the parrot picture? Colorful like Trump’s language?

[South40]

You're supporting a liberal in a conservative forum and calling those who don't "dipshit"?

lol!

Donald Trump is a liberal, and calling me names won't change that.

Have a nice night.

I too am an IT geek. Data Scmata in this case. See my post here on the thread. It makes sense. I am all about logic. Here you go: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3329248/posts?page=10#10
