Can’t wait for Trump to work with Pelosi and Schumer........he will make Obama look like a fiscal conservative with all the money he will spend.

But don’t worry, the government will pay for everything, not the taxpayers.

Yes, but how many did Trump create if you don’t count illegal aliens?

"Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future."

Jedi, I really wish I could get into the heads of the trump supporters. I don't understand them at all. They claim to be prolife, pro traditional family, pro constitution, against government overreach like eminent domain, against government controlled healthcare, pro guns rights....trump was a liberal and opposite conservative views just a few years ago.

They trust him so completely or can't imagine he would lie to them. Someone who cheated on his wives and was part of crony capitalism.

He went bankrupt 4 times and never tried to pay it back with his billions. We the taxpayers had to foot the bill for his mistakes 4 times. A billionaire. That's going to make a nice ad for Hillary to run. Imagine a commercial showing a single mom waiting a table, a man digging a ditch, old people trying to pay there bills,.... You paid Trumps bankruptcies 4 times. He milked the system with his business practices.

I really considered most people here at FR very conservative and not at all gullible but I don't think that anymore. Just like obama voters they're mesmerized by celebrity and hope and change, yelling what they want to hear. If I didn't know better I would say the establishment is playing tricks on FR, but people I really respect seems to be blinded by this man.

The same way I don't understand people who say they are Christian yet are ok with abortion and gay marriage.

I think it better just to listen to the candidates.

“GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump said Sunday the government will provide health coverage for everyone if he is elected president,”

Apparently, that’s a conservative value now.

I’ve long advocated that we swap Alberta for New England to help Canada out.

The rumor is that some Trump supporters refused to attend the caucuses because Megyn Kelly is covering them.

"A list of lies again."

Please point out which one[s] are lie[s].

~~~~~~~~~~~

" How stupid do you think the American public is?"

They voted for 0b0z0 -- TWICE -- so, yes, they might be stupid enough to vote for Trump.

"So sad.

Indeed...
