Actions have consequences. Character means willing to accept the full consequences of actions.

The GOP candidate or the Dem candidate is going to be the next President.

if you choose to attack Trump with no regard to how that effects the election and you want to make one of the central points to that argument that a candidate “lacks character” because he fights backs against those who attack him, like the Ricketts, then yes, people are going to question your motivations for your situational morality.

Perfect purity does not exist in politics. If by your actions, you enable a greater evil like Clinton, then yes, they moral base for your arugument has some gaping flaws.

If Trump says something, I know it isnt so.

I don't particularly care what people say. People say all kinds of stuff, somethings to placate people, somethings to antagonize or rile up, little white lies to prevent hurt feelings, etc. I watch what they do.

Don't listen to what people say, watch what they do. When it comes to doing things, how has Trump stacked up? That is the test.

Check again. She has 60+ shares and recs on Facebook since the commentary was published an hour or so ago

We're not talking about Facebook, we're talking about "Patriot Post" which is the source for this thread. On Disqus, she has exactly 6 up-votes, she's made 15 comments, and has 0 followers.

And it still constitutes pimping one's own blog post.

Have a nice evening.

See my own thread:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3401409/posts

I realize we are going to have to elect someone...and I am more than willing to vote for trump should he become the candidate...and it looks like he will.

That does not mean we cannot have reservations or ignore issues.

It just means we vote for the best person who can:

1) Help turn this nation around
2) Disallow the Presidency to progressive/liberal/socialists who will absolutely destroy the nation.

My point to you was the insinuation you made about Joanie, about as strong a conservative, patriotic American, and good Christian woman as you can find...that somehow she had compromised herself 100% for Hillary...when she had done no such thing.

LOL! You have a funny way of judging worth. Are you familiar with Patriot Post? If not, I suggest you check out their credentials. If so, and you still talk this way, you need to get back on your meds. Bye bye.

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.

Anyone that doesn't vote like I do, can't be thinking.

Vera Coking would have lost her house within months to the tax collector if not for Trump’s contractor giving her the money to pay her back taxes of some $25K.
Vera’s tenant house before Trump (she wanted $5million for this):

Vera’s first action against Trump was to sue to keep the beams in place; she lost her suit. Trump offered to put up a privacy wall; Vera claimed it would ‘block the sun’. So he put landscaping and flagpoles in the bus/taxi waiting area on one side of her home. Vera’s tenant house after Trump removed the rusty steel shell. Notice the boarded up windows on the condemned floors:

-— The most important takeaway from the debate came right after the debate:

The Great Conservative has now SWERVED to support the 8Gang Cabana Boy. -—

For a minute there I thought you were going to say the Planned Parenthood guy.

Personal integrity may have no significant meaning to members of a cult. Guess we gotta move along. Probably nothing to see here.

Well the time for debate is about over as Trump is wrapping this nomination up pretty handily.

Thank you, hero! A chilling video. You should post this as a thread. It is stunning and deadly serious.

Excellent rendition of Trump’s reading of The Snake....and it’s going viral in Europe.

Wake up, America! Before it’s too late.

The “conservative” Senator Cruz’s accomplishments:

Obamacare scrapped
Illegals deported
Wall built
Anchor babies outlawed
National debt reduced
Abortion restricted?
China trade deficit reduced
Food stamp growth curbed
Welfare growth reduced

Oops, I forgot, career politicians are all talk and no action.

Powerful video. Should be seen by one and all.

Naturally, Trump is one of the few with the courage to say what he said.

Trump is the ONLY candidate who reacted to the San Bernardino terrorist attack, promptly, without holding his finger in the wind, and with the proper, sane response:

Stop Importing Muslim Terrorists!

Millions and millions of Americans have individually examined Donald Trump, and have found him imminently qualified to be our next Commander in Chief.

In fact, primary votes and polling results show that a greater number choose and trust Trump over all others in the race.

So why should I give more weight to the opinion of a lone individual posting their disagreement in an internet column? Tell me how this one person’s opinion is more valid than the opinions of tens of millions of my fellow citizens?

>>> Millions and millions of Americans have individually examined Donald Trump, and have found him imminently qualified to be our next Commander in Chief <<<

True. Hard to question your facts can question those facts.

But even more millions have found Trump to be a snake-oil huckster who specialize in questionable business schemes, who has brags IN PRINT about seducing married women, and who doesn’t know squat about the Bible, military affairs or foreign policy.

But I guess it’s all OK, because he will make America great again.

It may be true that millions of people despise Donald Trump, but there’s no denying that he’s winning the primary vote and dominating the polls.

Logic dictates that the public likes his competitors even less, else they’d be beating him somewhere. Heck, they can’t even beat him at Free Republic, where he’s been winning the nightly caucus since day one.
