I understand that.
Not problem at all. When you say 11:30, which time zone?
I do like that you get it up soon after the thread closes.
Take care.
I haven’t spent a lot of time watching Trump videos or reading mush about him beyond what gets posted on FR.
The reason is that Trump really got my attention on the day that he announced his run for the White House. The things he said were exactly what I’ve been waiting to hear from a presidential candidate for decades.
I spent a huge amount of time studying up on the man and his world view after that. Within a couple of weeks I was convinced he was the guy, and I’ve never looked back. He closed the deal with me, and it’s stayed that way.
I really should watch the vid. I’ll probably check it out after work tomorrow. Thanks!
I'm sorry - Central Time. I'm in Texas.
It will reinforce your wisdom. ;-)
The reason it was so enjoyable, though, was how remarkably similar he sounds then and now.
Ok great. I don’t want you to have to rush home.
Just let me know. Take care.
Thanks again.

Well, it's not that I'm out working that late. It's that I've got more on my plate during the day, and it tends to keep me busier in my home office at night. Gotta get all the ducks lined up for the next day's production. It sort of makes my freeping time unpredictable.
I can hang in there til just after Super Tuesday. By mid March, I'll probably be scarce around these parts.
Ok, well not great..., but great. “:^)
Many people have said that, when others have accused Trump of being all over the map on his positions.
One Freeper used to post lengthy excerpts from some of Trump's books that really provided a lot of illumination into his thinking and world views. Reading those helped me quite a bit to solidify my support for him.
It's true that he's the same guy he's always been. I can tell it just reading his face when he talks. He's not trying to fool anyone. He really does intend to make this country great again, and I believe he can do it.
To me one of the most interesting videos on the subject of where Trump stands is the interview at the 1988 Republican Convention. He doesnt mention the wall in that interview but in every other respect he is just a younger version of himself right now.
Yeah, but they are entitled to their opinion. I would rather they vote their conscience than vote to go along. Too many have gone along for years. The base is no longer just going along with the candidates the GOPe want us to vote for in the the primaries and elections.
I would love to see all of us supporting Trump but I understand and respect those who support other candidates, especially Cruz. Cruz has been my second choice throughout the process. However, if Trump has big days on March 1 and March 5 I will begin to expect Cruz to leave the race, yes even before Texas. iF Cruz cannot win a large number of states in the South then he has little chance in the more moderate and liberal states coming after the fifteenth. We cannot let Rubio win Florida or Texas.
