And that is how a girl makes a scene Andy.

>>Check his negatives bro.<<

Besides the point. He was supposed to be on the side of the road by now, instead he is driving the bulldozer down the middle of it.

The Establishment doesn’t like having itself made irrelevant.

He merely repeats mantras that the voters want to hear similar to the types of statements that Barack Obama gave us back in 2008

Yup. and folks are eatin it up like gravy. If ya point out he might be a liar, they get real testy.

Donald aka friend of the Clintons, was put on the platform to out conservative the conservative, little did they know he would do so well. Kinda like Sarah did with Juan's charade.
To quote a Green Day song "Talk is cheap, but lies are expensive. My wallet's fat and so is my head."

“special little snow flakes offended by Alpha Males.”

Alpha males don’t need to shout, insult, interrupt, and talk about themselves endlessly. Someone trying to look like one does.

Trump’s negatives in the Republican primaries show something interesting: people are willing to vote for him even if they dislike him on a personal level.

A pure emtional based tirade without a shred of fact to back it up.

However, I will play with you cause I am tired of the idocy of this arguement.

IF it is all about Trump’s ego then he wants to succeed because in his view “He is a winner and winners win”.

Winning, in Trumps world, means making America Great again. Democrats aren’t interested in making America Great, they think American is to blame for all the ills in society. The want to fundamentally transform America to “make it fair”

So if Trump’s ego wants to win, his allies in that effort are all on the political Right, not the political Left.

So you should be betting on Trumps ego, not crying about it.

Funny thing. Whole lot of people are telling pollsters “I hate Trump or Clinton” and yet they are racing to the polls vote for Trump or Clinton.

Big lie of American politics, “likability” means votes. No, if that were the case Ben Carson would be winning in a landslide.

“I’m going to build a wall around America and make Mexico pay for it.”

Donald Trump. . . . The man is a moral and verbal sewer. He has no political resume. Rather, his campaign has been buoyed by empty promises devoid of any real substance or meaningful content. He merely repeats mantras that the voters want to hear. . . .

But Rafael, Marcos, Hillary and Bernie don't?

Donald Trump is a product of the failed GOP. If they hadn’t lied and deceived their base, they wouldn’t have this problem. It’s now too late for the GOP. Trump has taken its voters.

I am not a Trump supporter. I am not a Cruz supporter, or a Rubio one. Matter of fact there has been NO one this election season who I can conscionably vote for president.

That being said, you are absolutely correct.

It's like what Alfred told Bruce in The Dark Knight. The GOP has squeezed and hammered the people to the point of desperation. And in that desperation the people have turned to a man they may or may not understand.

Trump is a reaction. Maybe an inevitable one. The cause is people like Boehner and McConnell and McCain and Reibus.

Don’t blame it on Trump. 2008 was the real tipping point. At this point, the United States of America are trying not to drown in ideological sewage and we’re going down on the 3rd count.


I actually blame it on Juan McCain and the idiot GOP that nominated him in 2008. He had virtually no support from the base, and yet magically became the candidate. Even though there was documented evidence he had previously been ready to jump the fence and run as Kerry’s V.P.

I look at it this way. America is in a crap load of trouble. Real unemployment at 22.5%, our economy, infrastructure, healthcare system and military in a shambles, plus a corrupt media that’s largely sold out to those who are destroying the country. We are overrun by illegals and we have no credible immigration or terrorist protections because of Obama’s open border executive actions.

It’s all going to hit the fan at some point. Probably earlier rather than later. So who do you want as president? Corrupt Hillary? Bumbling Socialist Sanders? The Republic midget candidates who endlessly recite talking points but have no real track record of doing anything? Or Trump?

I’m at the point where I come down to Trump, just because to me he has the most experience in dealing with crises in the real world and nothing seems to phase him.

So it comes down to I don’t care what he believes, is he the most qualified to run the country in a crisis?

The problem is that he could be either a Winston Churchill or an Adolf Hitler (or probably more accurately, a buffoon Benito Mussolini). Which will he be?

I don’t know.

I don’t know who this Andy person is, but our nation is burning, evil is marching across the landscape, our freedoms are being withdrawn daily and we have a full on demonic evil creature occupying the white house hellbent on enslaving the minds of our children. Half of the legal population voted for it a second time even after they knew what it was.

Yet this guys worried about some brash billionaire and his ‘sewer’ language and his not having a political ‘resume’ which for my part is the best credential a candidate could offer up right now,

Yes there is a delusion at work here,

But its not because good people are waking up and becoming righteously indignant and verbally angry about the corrupt evil establishment infringing daily into our lives using political correctness and lies about climate change, lies about the economy, lies about Islam and where both parties are working to the same malevolent end,

We know at the time of the end Satan will set up his kingdom and how much different will it look from what their forcing on us all right this moment in our history?

There is a delusion alright and its one that anyone awake and aware truly should be worried about,

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12

We’re in a spiritual battle against principality and powers and somehow this writer (like the Bush family) is offended if we should call Hillary a liar to her face,

Couple of things he can do.
one, tax products made over seas and imported by companies like Ford who’ve moved manufacturing plants over seas.
The reason for the moves in the first place is the highest tax rate of any industrialized nation. Lower tax rates.
Eliminate the epa, can’t compete with other countries companies and with the epa on the other side.

Hillary Clinton is leading Bernie Sanders even though most Democrats consider her untrustworthy.

That's all you need to know about how Americans vote.

You're also witnessing exactly what causes a free nation to collapse. People don't care if they are governed by criminals, as long as the people get what they want out of the deal.

You are attacking the wrong person with that argument. I don’t care that trump is (or at least sounds) tough.

I don’t believe a word out of his mouth. He’s simply playing a uneducated electorate who has been abandoned by true conservatives.

Trump is a great salesman.

I'm not attacking you. I'm attacking (c)Andy Woods.

I don't believe a word out of his mouth.

You can't believe a word out of ANYONE'S mouth in Washington. Therefore, the logical choice is to roll the dice with Trump. It's not like his history is opaque, like that of the Muslim-In-Chief. He's America's rich uncle Donald, somewhat similar to America's cool uncle Bill Murray.

He's simply playing a uneducated electorate who has been abandoned by true conservatives.

I'm very well educated, and I'm a true conservative. Moving on...

Trump is a great salesman.

You'll get no argument from me on that point. :)
