Have we really reached the point where we are cheering this clown? If so, then things truly are desperate.

Thank goodness there are too many independent thinkers here that won't be browbeat into staying quiet.

Personally I do not think Trump is a serious candidate but on the other hand I am one of those cheering what he's saying.

He's pinching leftists' n*ts and they're squealing like little piggies.

Nonsense, he is the biggest sell out of all.

Who leaves the GOP and becomes a democrat in 2001 to 2009?

The party of Al Gore, and Hillary, and John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama, and tells us 2 weeks ago that his favorite president is Bill Clinton.

Desperate times require desperate measures.

We need to shake up the establishment and get rid of the crap we have now!

Sick and tired of the same old establishment.

I like Trump. He truly does speak what’s on his mind. He’s right about Nafta, Grafta, and Pufta....trade deals by puffsters seeking graft.

He’s right about open borders; it’s a highway not just for illegals but for undesirables.

And I enjoy watching while others get their pantaloons in a wad over him.

You're a businessman in NYC. What are you supposed to do to get the deals and leverages going your way?

Seriously?

And “professional politicians” - people who never did a damn thing in their lives without other people’s money aren’t clowns?

What, pray tell, do you think they want when they go into “public life”?

Accolades? Personal satisfaction? Power? To do what?

To get rich and be above everyone else, that’s what.

And they can’t do it by starting a business and selling goods and services that other people want for a profit.

So Trump did that. True, he had a head start with his Daddy’s business.

So what. He came back from bankruptcy. His “act” is part of his business, genius.

So uh...think he can be bought? By who? Soros? Gates? Carlos Slim?

He has nothing but contempt for those bozos.

They used to say it about Nelson Rockefeller: couldn’t be bought. Who had the money to bribe him?

Sit back and enjoy the show. Trump is from the hardest end of Noo Yawk, and he knows when a bunch of punks are trying to get over on him. And how to take the fight right back to them.

And as for every pathetic lightweight politician with their meager “achievements” behind them, Ted Cruz here excepted, they wouldn’t hold a candle to this guy in terms of managing the government. Congress might end up hating him, but...tuff. Grow a set.

You will obviously say anything, even the wildest absurdity, with no shame or sense of honor, nor expect it from your candidate.

That is some insane devotion you are showing towards this pro-abortion gun banner.

The party of Al Gore, and Hillary, and John Kerry, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy and Barack Obama, and tells us 2 weeks ago that his favorite president is Bill Clinton.

< snip>Their goal is not to tell the truth, but drum up support for the Mitch McConnell-John Boehner-Paul Ryan-Mitt Romney wing of the GOP. These are the “moderate,” “responsible” and “grown-up” leaders we are told America needs.< / snip>

Yeah, I suppose, because he is a clown, we should stand behind the GOP elite and Rick Perry and call Trump an anti-immigrant racist

Beck, however, is wrong — dead wrong. Economic nationalism has been a cardinal principle of conservatism dating back to our Founding Fathers. George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and John Adams — all supported protective tariffs and a trade policy that guaranteed America’s economic independence. By Beck’s standards, Washington and Hamilton were “progressives.”

Kuhner is correct. taxed raw materials from the American colonies would be sent to Great Britain and then it would return as finished products and retaxed by the Parliament/ King. The Founders balked at the unfair trade and taxes with England. The prelude to American Revolution.

Yeah, I enjoy what he says but suspect his script is written by RINO Central: he’s being ‘paid’ to be a divider IMO. A stalking horse for Jeb.

But what the heck. Until the primaries he’s not hurting anybody.
