Hey - here’s an experiment for you: watch the video at the end of the article and note three instances where Trump actually says “how” he is going to do something instead of just delivering platitudes.

You can’t do it. Your man is a joke.

I don’t much care how the wall gets built, without out it we cannot enforce the fundamental principles of sovereignty. But it’s not about who is a better wall builder (even though we know that Hillary, Bernie, Little Marco, or Mitt would never build it at all).

This is about who can stand against the GOPe machine and resist tyranny - not from Pelosi/Reid but from the Chamber of Commerce/GOP Elites/RNC/K Street lobbyists and their superPAC financiers who are doing everything they can to maintain the status quo. Ted Cruz cannot win. Marco Rubio is the least qualified candidate of all time and is 100% owned by the GOPe. Trump is the only one who cannot be bought and has a chance to disrupt their power and influence permanently. Rise to the 50,000 ft. level and you should be able to see the real importance of the Trump insurgency in not just making America great again, but in saving it.

Words of a businessman not engaged in public service are one thing; fully informed VOTES by elected representatives are another.

A difference that makes sense to the people but that the pundits and the consultant-driven candidates fail to grasp.

Read the post I replied to. They said the wall was the only thing that matters. My post makes perfect sense in context. I’ve noticed Trump supporters don’t like context because requires thinking beyond “ugh, big wall” and “mmmm... make American great again... brains...”

Well I think this is to ask more than justified, and let me explain.

Trump is working up the American gumption to git-r-done at all.

To him the details of how ARE secondary, though he has proven to have obtained pretty good advice from Jeff Sessions and others on some parts of his agenda.

Trump has set up doors marked Opportunity. Some people are complaining that, when these doors are knocked on, someone pops his head out and says “Welcome, join us working in here” rather than “I am the genie of the door. What do you wish me to do?”

So right away your post is nonsense because it demonstrates that you are willing to swallow whatever the Trump crowd feeds you. How do I know? Consider that 98 percent approval rating bit of deception. If you haven’t heard by now how those “reviews” were collected - which will come out in court - and made a critical determination, then I can’t help you on any topic.

You Really think Cruz or Rubio can beat Hillary. Now that I would love to hear how. I did the Math. I dont see how Cruz get the EV to beat hillary. Rubio even getting close to 27O electoral votes is a joke.

We Held our noses and voted McCain and then we held our noses and voted Rominey.

Dont blame us. Blame the Rup Establishment for Running no one that can win.

I personally think Trump will beat Hillary

Of course, because what American culture/politics needs right now is a another career political technocrat with the right experience and “good ideas.”

OH so Trump supporters are one issue voters, why?
isn’t that frowned on by most sane adults?
I mean that’s what democrats think of the American voter.
Women care only about getting abortion
Hispanics care only about Immigration (allowing more people in that is)
Blacks only care about Race
Evangelicals only care about the Faith you proclaim
Whites only care about keeping their guns

What you are saying is that Trump supporters are confirming the Democrat worldview, that the American voter is only smart enough to be concerned with one issue.

I can think of at least ten that are important to me. Important enough that if a candidate is opposed I can’t vote for them. There are other issues but they are less important.

1 The Constitution. Is it a living document are a legal Covenant between US, the Government, and God
2 Pro Life, do they support Life or are against it.
3 Guns, I think any gun we should be able to own, why one would need say a Thompson Sub Machine gun but they should be allowed to own it.
4 The Rule of Law
5 Taxes, simplifying the tax code is imperative
6 Federal spending needs to be gotten under control
7 Restoring and or maintaining the Checks and Balances of Government
8 The debt needs to be taken care of.
9 The 4th amendment is Law, not a suggestion. Even when radical Islamic terrorists are threatening us on a daily basis.
10 Foreign Policy, they must adhere to a Jacksonian style of foreign policy.

Exactly. And let’s say that if it takes someone like Trump to put the ship upright again, pump out the water, and put it back on course, after that’s done it will be smooth sailing for principled conservative leaders to keep it going in the future.

Or to attempt a different analogy, the nation needs open heart surgery, not just a few more minutes on the treadmill.

If in 8 years we have a secure southern border, common core is in the the trashcan and local schools can teach what they want and serve food their kids will eat, people keep their doctors and pay lower premiums with healthcare competition, and thanks to smart trade deals, jobs are returning to the US as the best place to manufacture products for global markets and our GDP is grouwing by 3-4% per year — we can get back to discussing who is the strongest conservative candidate for 2024.

I worked Early vote. Noted a possible IA-no English which I assisted through the ballot who voted for TRUMP. LOL!
My daughter, who I really thought would vote for Carson told me she voted for Trump because she said she felt she had to. Guess she picked up on the high stakes.
In any case the interview with Sessions former aid really solidifies Trump for me at this time: http://www.breitbart.com/immigration/2016/02/27/must-listen-stephen-miller-makes-case-against-marco-rubio-in-epic-rant/

You do know that the so-called Gang of Eight immigration bill also called for a wall, about the same length (1000 miles), right? I thought not.

It was amended to specify the requirements - border security had been vague in the original - and this amendment received the votes of all the GOP members, including Rubio. It also called for another 20,000 border patrol agents, which is the only thing that will make a wall work.

Of course, none of this matters anyway, since Obama simply changed immigration policy any way he wanted with his executive orders. There was spotty enforcement even before then, and none at all afterwards.

Mexican immigration has plunged and a great proportion of what is coming across the border now are people (middle Easterners and Asians) smuggled in through Latin American ports of entry and Cuba. Of course, since Obama changed the law (literally the day after his inauguration) to accept more people from “Muslim lands” at the expense of the Latin American quota, these people can march right in into citizenship.

Wasn't Derek Hunter a big-time Romney pimp?

We all see how that worked out. Why should we give a fig what he thinks now?
