Trump people are just grade school smart@sses there is no intelligent conversation with you all. I have come to believe you back Trump because you think he has the b@lls you don’t have and backing him makes you feel macho. Pathetic really.

Vera Coking, the Ricketts Family, Bob Vander Plaat Got it YOUR side is allowed to attack with impunity. Fighting back is a sign of a "lack of character". Utterly ridiculous rationalization.

Trump is winning because people respect him more than they respect status quo politics and politicians. It's pretty simple.

...though the basis for that "respect" seems to have nothing to do with actual respectability, or integrity, or morality. What you say certainly says a lot about the lack of wisdom of the electorate, yes... but I don't see how that digs Trump out of the moral hole into which he's dug himself.

Is anyone going to address the substance of the article? Plenty of FR threads have been exercises in "swerving around the point on two wheels" and replacing the point with some sort of "You-Rah-Rah!" cheer for their guy (who became their guy after playing well to the audience). Not very logical, not very relevant, and not very intellectually honest, IMHO.

I ask folks to look back on the state of the nation from 1988 until now.

Has the nation gotten better? You tell me. First, admit it to yourself.

So now I am asked to vote in just ONE MORE Washington, D. C. Pol.

Folks, I may look stupid. You may think my posts are stupid. You may think this post is stupid. I may even be stupid.

I am not stupid enough to fall for one more political insider. Get over it.

Trump’s platform is a Conservative one.

Call me any name that makes you feel better.

I’m voting for Trump, and these never ending insults to my intelligence, are not going to work.

If it makes you feel better, post 100,000 of them by Tuesday evening.

Trump is our nominee. Grow up!

Well apprently Joanie you are willing to compromise yourself 100%. Please explain to us how electing Hillary "Cult of Sanger and Abortion" Clinton who is 100% opposed and will actively work against your values is less compromising to your values then voting for someone who agrees with your values 75%?

Pardon me, but... say WHAT?

Slow down, and read Joanie's comment again. Can you point out where she advocated for a vote for Clinton? Or is this just a creative addition you threw in, in the context of a rant?

Honestly... trying to get a discussion of what's actually said is getting to be more and more of an impossibility, nowadays. Red herrings must be on sale, somewhere, since they're getting so popular...

Your actions have consequences. Dress them up in all the fake rationalization you want, God knows the truth and one day you will be called to answer.

Integrity seems to be losing.

We get the government we deserve.

Bill Clinton was re-elected. Barry Hussein was re-elected. Thad Cochran was re-elected. Nancy Pelosi was re-elected. Chuck Schumer was re-elected. Mitch McConnell was re-elected, and chosen Senate Majority Leader. John Boehner was re-elected, and chosen Speaker of the House. John McCain was re-elected. Terry McAwful was elected. So was Jerry Brown. Need I go on?

The ascendency of unprincipled clods and communist criminals in the current presidential election is no surprise.

A lot of rationalization too - especially by Trumpbots.

Just because Cruz says something does not make it so.
Just because Rubio says something does not make it so.
Just because Hillary says something does not make it so.
Just because I say something does not make it so.
Just because you say something does not make it so.

And so on...

This article clearly lays out three distinctly unethical and immoral charges, backing each up with facts and dates on everything written against Donald Trump and all you are able to do, is toss out non-sequiturs against Cruz?

As you seem unable to read, pay attention and grasp the truth, I certainly understand why you would support Donald "P.T. Barnum" Trump!

I really wish that Ted Cruz had chosen the Executive path to build his conservative credentials. There is a reason that few legislators make it to the White House. No question about it, Cruz is the best we have had at articulating conservatism since Reagan.

You’re whining, Joanie. It isn’t becoming.

Integrity is taking it to the destroyers of our government.

And, his name is TRUMP.

Just say “thank you”, and then shut up.

We have a battle to fight. You can kneel and cower over there, and preach away, but just try to be out of the way, please.

Thank you.

TRUMP 2016

Yeah, and no candidate with a liberal past has EVER paid lip service to conservatism to seal the deal and get elected. Also, people like Trump because they are angry, and decisions made out of emotions ALWAYS turn out OK in the long run. I don't think the Republic can survive another 4 to 8 years of a president elected by emotions and surrounded by a cult of personality.

Did Joanie say anywhere in this artilce that she would vote for Hillary?

No she did not.

She has just shared her own opinion and investigation into some of the allegations regarding Trump.

If you have issues with what she did say and point out...take issue with that.

I happen to know absolutely that Joanie would vote for Trump if he were the nominee over Hillary or Sanders.

Did you think to ask her that?

She has already posted it on another thread.

Speak with her about that...and then please apologize for the knee jerk regarding her compromising herself. She hasn’t.

And just who is ‘Joan Fischer’? Is that you Joanie? You have a grand total of 6 ‘up votes’ in Disqus and ‘Patriot Post’ sounds like just one more Trump-hating echo chamber in the blogosphere.

If you’re going to pimp your blog post, put it in “bloggers and personal” where it belongs ok?

Far too many years ago, in a city college, I read a book called The True Believer (or believers). It dealt with mass hallucinations, their truth-less bases, and their always bad results. Results that were at least (self) destructive to the believers, and further, created great stress on society at large.

We are today awash in such a mass hysteria, not entirely without factual roots but dangerously tainted by envy, avarice, and self righteousness.

Don't look for a happy ending when our nation's future is at stake.

Anyone who can include Ted Cruz under the category of ‘status quo’ politician simply hasn’t been paying attention to his constant battles against precisely that in the senate.

A talent for not being able to get along with anyone is not a resume enhancement. The status quo is that Cruz is a lifelong political insider, albeit one with an attitude problem. He still has two years left on his senate term to learn how to sway others to his way of thinking without being an asshole. Let's hope he does.

Check again. She has 60+ shares and recs on Facebook since the commentary was published an hour or so ago, and her last commentary a couple weeks ago was referenced by dozens of political sites and had 600+ recs. Open your eyes. Joan has a huge following.
