You are very welcome. Yes- Trump has broken through the near impenetrable wall of political correctness that is an effective primary tool of the left, used to neuter their opponents in nearly every facet of society. It is now our duty to completely destroy political correctness once and for all.

I would agree that Trump isn't going to solve every single problem, but it won't be for lack of trying. Likely, he will also do some things that will make us want to pull our hair out. I hope not, but... there has never been a perfect administration.

The fact that the National Review felt it necessary to come out with a manifesto in order to stop Trump is an indicator of how much the GOPe fears Trump. When you're taking flak, you can be sure you're over the target.

He will have to explain to his supporters about him being a Shareholder with Goldman Sachs is good, but Ted Cruz’s wife working for them is bad.

Well, I felt fine being a shareholder of GE when I inherited my Dad's stock that he started saving in 1953, but I would kill myself if my wife worked for Jeffrey Immelt or became a member of the The New New World Order Council on Foreign Relations.

As much as I hate to say it, Noah Millman seems to have nailed it. If I really believed that DJT is a Conservative, I wouldn’t be so worried, but judging by his past history, I am really afraid that he is just mouthing things that he knows he needs to say in order to get elected, and then if he gets elected, well, then he has more flexibility. He was a dimmacrat too recently for me to be happy about the prospect of him winning. God help the USA! Ready, fire, aim.

I trust a businessman to keep his word more than a career politician actually. His feet will be held to the fire though.

[matthew fuller]

"Yesterday, after hearing Trump call Bowe Bergdahl a dirty rotten traitor and that he should be dropped into ISIS held territory then BOMBED, I decided that I would crawl over broken glass to vote for candidate Trump. I have had it once and for all with the eunuchs in Congress that have had historical majorities and they've given soebarkah EVERYTHING he's asked for. They can go to hell. FU GOPe! I'm certain there are millions of Americans just like me, and the movement or rebellion is only in it's infancy. "

I did not hear about that, thank you for posting it. What you posted just might help me feel a little better about Trump.

[matthew fuller]

Ted Cruz really can’t be considered a career politician at this point. His profession until just recently has been a lawyer.

[matthew fuller]

He is a businessman, but he is also undeniably a showman. Another P. T. Barnum? Dudley J. LeBlanc?

You are welcome. I'm in between jobs, so I've been watching the last few Trump rallies streaming live online. I was referencing the one in Tulsa, OK, Jan 19th. The rallies are posted on You Tube. In a search, put in Trump, a location and a date.

I meant to say that I wasn't bragging in my post by putting down things I've done in my life, but to convey where I'm coming from politically. I was a registered Democrat in my youth. I worked in the trades earning a pension, and I still look for the union label, often settling for a geography lesson in where the hell things are now made. Boo! I switched parties, going all in for the GOP. I am adamantly against abortions. 60,000,000 dead babies in just the USA, alone, with no end in sight. Now- I'm conservative leaning Independent/Libertarian.

I meant to respond to you with a final thought or two. I mixed up my reply a bit and put them in post # 29. Thanks for participating and good night.

lawyers aren’t exactly famous for being honest either though some of them are surely are of course.

Cruzers are wetting themselves

Matthew it is not the first time he has called Bergdahl a dirty rotten traitor. Go here and watch a few of his events. The latest ones are way way more polished but any of them. It will set your stomach at ease supporting Trump. Might even light a fire in your belly for him. ;-)

It has for me for sure.

It has just about every campaign appearance (Videos of) the Donald has made listed in reverse chronological order, ie. the newest are first and oldest are last. In every one... the same message. He doesn’t pander to the audience. Very refreshing.

Better source of Trump campaign vids for you. I think all of them by date and location. I am sure Donald is paying whomever is running this shoestring org for doing it, but hey... Capitalism Rocks!!!!

-- He will have to explain to his supporters about him being a Shareholder with Goldman Sachs is good, but Ted Cruz's wife working for them is bad. --

That will be a tough one to wave away. Trump is doomed.

[Cboldt]

-- They have had it with the nightmare occupying the rainbow hut these past 7 years, and they despise even more the GOPe for their complicity and duplicity. --

I enjoyed your post. It was good! I just want to make a remark about the statement above.

If I had to rank the skunks, I'd have a hard time rank ordering Obama, and the GOPe part of Congress. They are both subversive and bad for the country, but for different reasons. Plus, it isn't fair to lump everybody in an institution, based on institutional behavior.

If this shakes out, let's institutionalize the whole lot of them - make them all "even." Exile would work for me.

[anton]

Hijacking Trump’s nomination with rogue delegates brokering their votes to others would be the end of the GOP. Literally, the end.

For my part, that would be a good thing. Get r’ done now instead of waiting another 20 years for the murder/suicide implemented by Boehner, McConnell, Ryan, etc. to take effect.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

That almost makes sense until you think about it.

Think about what you just said grasshoppa. I mean really think about it,,, I know it is hard and you may have to skip some church social to get the time, but I have every confidence you may come to an insight.

It makes perfect sense, just not in the way you intend it to. It endorses Trump over Cruz.
