I bet I don’t agree on 50% of what Trump believes, but I do believe we need to close the border and only he and Cruz want to do that. One of them will win the nomination.
Pray America is waking
Obama was opposed to same-sex marriage in 2008 too
> The media would ignore Trump if they didn’t want him to win the nomination.
And you hit the nail right on the head. They know his track record and how he has a weak record on following things through to their conclusion and keeping his promises. They want anyone other than someone like Cruz who will do what he says he will and doesn’t care what the MSM thinks.
I think the American people are being played by this charade. I do like a lot of what Trump is saying but then again I remember he is an entertainer at the same time.
To me, GWB was a combination of Jeckyl and Heyde. In some ways he seemed straight and truthful. In other ways he was a BS artist. Standing in NYC atop a pile of rubble and on subsequent occasions he bloviated about how the perpetrators of 911 would rue the day, etc; and to some extent it happened.
But he and his generals put assinine rules of engagement on our troops that got many more of them killed, etc. He never did seem to follow through on DEFEATING terrorists. We killed a few, but there never was a systematic plan of eradication of them. You can’t rid a place of roaches by swatting a few willy-nilly. You need an unflinching program of search and destroy. Bush never really had anything like that, and it resulted in a lot of needless body bags.
yep.its 1992 all over again.
I read the last word just as I was about to take a sip of coffee...set my mug down fast, LOL.
You need to get out and about the forum more.
Hope? Hope?
I notice you left out the part where Trump said of Obama: "...he cannot do worse than Bush".
But he was wrong about that, and many of us knew at the time he was wrong. And "hoping" Obama will do a good job? Ridiculously stupid or ludicrously naive (and Trump is NOT naive). No matter how bad GWB was, how could sane, rational, people "hope" Obama was going to "do a good job" when our sanity and rationality led us to know he was going to do very, very bad things to this country?
Hope, indeed. The only conclusion I can draw from Trump's comments in 2008 is that he was not rational and not sane.
As my old dad used to say (and still says, actually): "Hope in one hand, sh#t in the other, and see which one gets full first".
I think it might have been Duncan Hunter who coined the phrase “Road to New Hampshire conversion”.
Calling Donald Trump a viable Presidential candidate is like calling Jeffrey Dahmer a chef.
No, he wasn’t. He just SAID he was.

LOL! Happy Friday Lady Catherine.
“I do like a lot of what Trump is saying but then again I remember he is an entertainer at the same time.”
Yes, that is why most entertainers are billionaires.
But I think that Trump needs to take the time to explain or clarify the questionable things that he said in the past that are listed in this article before I can strongly say that I would vote for Trump.
Very apt.
Wait until the road leads in the other direction...it won't take long for him to revert.
Happy Friday and a good weekend to you, sir. ;)
I remember Trump soured big time on Bush after the 2004 election (where he did support Bush). He thought the second term was a catastrophe. He’s more wrong than right, although I disagreed with some of his points at the time. His general disgust at the ineptitude was shared by many. Trump definitely missed all the signs RE: Obama. That’s forgivable given the climate at the time. Trump sits in the heart of liberal Manhattan. I am not supporting Trump, but I am not going to bash one of the few to take the fight to the opposition. He clearly has a great distaste for what the Bush’s did to the party. I share that view.
Not sure how to post this as its own article, figure another Friend will if there is interest.
Donald Trump is slated to be on the radio after the 7:00 news on Broomheads show. About 30 minutes from now.
