I think what nic was trying to point out was not that trump = obama on policy but rather on politic.

Tough talk, loud talk, nothing at all to back it up, huge crowds of rowdy revelers chanting his name and slogan. Statement’s so vast or uninteligable that only his supporters ‘knew’ what he said when it was clear he didn’t know what he’d said. On those things Trump is exactly like Obama.

Not the rest of Obamabaggage.

Reagan could and always did form full, complete, cogent sentences. Reagan was an incredible orator. Had I the skill/talent I would gladly read a trump speech in Reagan’s voice to show you just how little trump has in common with Reagan.

I don’t recall Reagan interrupting folks in debates and calling them liars when they pointed out something he said. Do you?

Every election we hear how our candidate is pro constitution, pro limited government, need to cut spending, need to build the wall. They say all the right things. Once the election is over none of this happens. Oh …. there is some grandstanding to get attention for the next election, but nothing substantial comes of it.

I helped start a tea party group….. a 912 group…..I also did the phone calls and distributed voter guides……so I am not ignorant, uninvolved or a low information voter.

I just don’t believe these people anymore, and am sick of being disappointed by the politicians who say all the right things to get elected. I’ve heard it all SO MANY times before.

Remember the mantra term limits? Build the wall? All election rhetoric.

I would rather give a real outsider a chance this time…..one that is NOT a lawyer or a member of the political class. Maybe I’ll be disappointed….but what’s new?

When I was a kid in the 80s, people who grew up in the 50s used to talk about how much the country had changed, and not all for the better, in just 20-30 years. I, of course, had no idea what they were talking about. I do now. This country is unrecognizable from the 1980s, and the rules of discourse, civility, and propriety have all changed. Demographics have too. Trump doesn't quite have the affability that Reagan had, but he is doing what he needs to do not just to win, but to pave the way for accomplishing goals such as building the Wall (because there WILL be resistance by our traitorous Congress and other government boobs).

Trump reminds me a bit of the Civil War generals in the North. Lincoln went through a few different generals before settling on US Grant because every general he put in charge of the Union Army was either too timid or too lackluster to take the fight to the to the South. Grant was described as a drunk, a lout, a brutish man, uncouth, etc. Lincoln said "Yes, but this one fights."

Trump fights.

Agree! I vote for Trump, at least for the reason to gut the GOPe from Congress.

He kind of reminds me of Andrew Jackson minus the military career.

I had to read up on Jackson again before I posted this - trump is a whole lot like Jackson. It will be interesting to see if history repeats that thread or not.

Why do you say that?

This seems very pro-Trump.

No, Trump's not a racist, Trump's not Hitler.

Trump's just too liberal for me, that's all.

And if it's OK for people to refuse to hold their noses and vote for Ryan/Romney/McConnell/McCain etc., it's OK for me to refuse to hold my nose and vote for Trump.

“So, basically you are saying there is no legitimate criticism of Trump. He’s just like Obama in 2008.”

Nope. you said that.

I said:

Wow, that guy wins the prize for the largest number of superfluous words to simply say: “I hate Trump.”

[catnipman]

“This seems very pro-Trump.”

“Donald Trump may indeed be anti-establishment, but that’s different than being pro freedom, pro prosperity and pro limited government.”

is hardly “pro-Trump”

[Badboo]

Another idiot who believes a non-eligible Canadian born grifter is the answer to the decline of America.

There is a lot of talk about anger. Well, many of us are way past anger. We left that behind seven years ago. We are locked and loaded.

It is clear that the traitors to America both represented by the dem commies and the new faux right will do every thing to deny the nomination to Trump, fight his election, and if elected, prevent his governing.

Let’s get it on then. Better now we settle this regardless of the consequences.

Hey no fair.

You actually read the article.

[catnipman]

“Hey no fair. You actually read the article.”

ROTFLOL!

(actually, I read to the END of the article, which i admit was quite difficult because the whole thing pretty much read as yada, yada, yada, yada, trump sucks, vote cruz)
