Long before the Republican presidential candidate became a presidential candidate or a Republican, Donald Trump had a working relationship with Al Sharpton, including doing favors for the racial activist and giving him thousands in donations.

“He wants to see Trump the Leftist. We want to see Trump the Conservative.”

What I see is Trump the Patriot. To me he’s the first one who has spoken of putting American interests first since Ronald Reagan.

Our ‘he’s-not-a-conservative-at-all’ crybabies can sit on the sidelines and throw spitwads all they want. Trump is taking the fight to the scum that comprise the GOPe. He has made immigration a central issue, something the Obama serving quislings in the GOP hate. He’s taking advice from Jeff Sessions. Ted Cruz obviously has some kind of relationship with Trump. And Trump has a very real chance at pulling in votes from disaffected Democrats, the sort that used to be called Reagan Democrats. So I hope our friends have a fondness for the taste of crow because it’s going to be on their menu.

“Trump is the first candidate espousing conservatism”


Actually to be accurate.. Trump is the first long term proven confirmed tested rock hard treasonous leftist
to espouse a few conservative positions..

that may be true... recently.. but it’s recent..
in no way does that MAKE him a conservative..

In no way does it absolve him of past crimes against the US Constitution either..
Or against conservatism.. patriotism, or honest dealings..

Maybe he has found his “JUDAS MOMENT” in time...
BUT.... there’s that damned Judas thing going on here..

The Boy STINKS... with some kind of smell...
SKunk?... Nah... something else.. bu it’s RIPE.

We have open primaries. We have Democrats and Moderate Republicans selecting our nominee.

I don’t see a single Conservative that will survive that.

I have two words for my friends here. McCain & Romney

I wouldn’t have counted Romney out, but I’ll guarantee you I would have counted McCain out. Look what happened. We could have picked up a drunk out back of the local Grade F dive, and he would have been better than McCain.

Do you think Cruz gets the nomination?

How does that happen in a process that has most recently given us McCain and Romney?

So we go into the primaries and in eight weeks we’re already 80% of the say to a Bush, Christie, or Fiorina nomination. What then? It’s over!

Then later in the year we barf through another Convention where our views are not heralded. Our people are not nominated. And frankly, I put away my voting pen for another four years.

I am sick of this routine.

I know what you said is reasoned. So what do we do?

You have taken our only untried option off the table. You’ve just guaranteed we don’t do anything until 2020. And then Trump is gone, and we don’t have someone who can handle the press and the GOPe.

So in 2020, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2024, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2028, we’re guaranteed to lose again.
So in 2032, we’re guaranteed to lose again.

When do we vote for someone that at least voices our ideals in a general election again? I seriously do not see that in our future.

We have one opportunity. We may get some of what we want. What do we get with the next RINO?

You’ve got a House made up of 90% Democrats.

You’ve got a Senate made up of 98% Democrats.

Which guy other than Trump goes to the American public and gets them to blister their representative’s or Senator’s ears?

We’re wasting our time here, if we’re going to play the GOPe’s game one more election.

The national debt in 2020 will be $24 trillion.

If you have a suggestion, I’m all ears.

Actually you compared Trump to Reagan, but were just too ignorant to realize it.

What the lightweights don’t realize is that as soon as the GOPe takes out Trump, they will correct fire to Cruz, as the purest ideological conservative.

Game..set..match....LiL Jebbie wins.

“He was at that youthful exuberant age of mid-40’s”

The same age as Dubya when alcohol was his favorite pastime.

When you can come to grips with Trump’s platform and tell me what other candidate has presented one like it or better, we’ll talk.

Poor GeronL. You now, my eyes are gettin’ misty for ya.

I’m not budging.

Not one single Conservative guy other than Trump is going to get the nomination.

So you can sit there and throw a hissy fit for the next 14 months, or you can come to terms with reality.

That’s how I see it. Ted Cruz is not pristine either. I want him for V.P., because I think he’s the best of the next level of candidate.

This is going to be a rough ride. Buckle up sports fans.

Nah, the game is rigged. I like Cruz too.

Just doesn’t have the persona and aggressiveness to beat the GOPe. Trump does. If Trump implodes, Cruz goes down several weeks later.

LIL Jebbie has the big guys, big money and Establishment. Which means we get 8 more of Hillary and a fading United States.

If one looks at where the passion is with Trump, one sees the more conservative side of Trump. If one looks at parenthetical remarks, one sees the more liberal side of Trump.

It looks a lot like a spirit that is larger than Trump is moving Trump along. In fact, in a more Christianly literate age, one might be talking a lot about God at this juncture. Instead all the focus is on man, how Trump is not some bred in the bone rightist, and much dynamic to the good is simply missed.

1988 no

Yea...

“But Sharpton asked if he could get his ‘friend,’ who didn’t have credit standards, into the building. Donald accommodated.”

A lot cheaper than an SEIU Riot of paid protestors on National TV would cost Trump.

That’s called “The Race-Pimp Shakedown”.

I think this has become an age in which we are asking too much out of man, and too little out of God.
