Despite Donald Trump's meteoric rise to the top of the Republican presidential polls, the GOP establishment continues to bash its leading candidate. Apparently "party-cide" is contagious: The Democratic establishment continues to ride the sinking Clinton campaign like the string quartet on the deck of the Titanic the majority of Americans know she's a liar and don't trust her. It's a fight to the death all right, only each party's pointing a gun at its own head. GOP establishment favorite Jeb Bush is hemorrhaging voters too. CBS News/YouGov shows Bush coming in a pathetic eighth place in New Hampshire and doing only marginally better in Iowa, where he now places fifth. As an attorney who's worked for Trump (I have not represented him for the past year and a half) and many years ago, against him his success on the campaign trail comes as no surprise: Trump's a man of exceptional tenacity and guts, insightful intuitions, clear purposes, an intelligence that's expressed forcefully and directly, always without regard to political correctness, and a world class negotiator. Trump intuitively understands what troubles Americans and boldly states their concerns; I guarantee he'll never be an appeaser of foreign governments; there'll be no Neville Chamberlains or hapless apprentices for domestic or foreign policy, in his administration if you're not doing your job, you'll be fired. Coming off President Obama's massive failures, most recently his hugely dangerous appeasement of Iran (and funding of the terrorist regime), Americans hunger for Trump's common sense approach, especially when coupled with his incorruptibility: Trump doesn't need donors (let alone a foundation to function as money generating, influence-peddling machine), and when he says politicians are forever hitting him up for money, I can tell you he's not exaggerating.

Sorry, I didn’t realize that FR now has a litmus test as to who can post to a thread. If it’s only pro-Trump people who are allowed to post, I expect there will soon be a prominent announcement to that effect. Until then, I will feel safe making my anti-Trump posts. If you are bothered by that, maybe you could SOB (scroll on by) to avoid the aggravation.
LOVE that!!
It's possible that you scanned my post perfunctorily and missed this part of it:
"But I'll never be sucked in by an Establishment candidate again."
Now that I've pointed that statement out to you, I'm sure it will answer your question. If you are still not clear about where I stand, let me know and I'll be happy to explain it again.
If you need to have a little more levity at our expense, go ahead. Just know that there is a price one pays for not being a Trump supporter, so don't be surprised if we feel the need to punch back.
Btw, very good article Capt’n.
Thanks Jane.
Just want you to know I placed Jim’s face and a hat in that. I matched the coloring too. The art work other than that is a work I ran across and it was suited for my purposes.
Don’t want to take more credit than that.
I voted for Cruz, but I am really disappointed in a a couple of his votes. I would vote for him in the general, but my primary has changed to Trump. But, what I don't do, is go to Cruz threads and write up my objections of him. The same objections everybody already knows. The reason I don't do this is because that is just being a jerk.
Fine, then go to a thread for someone you will vote for.
Thank you so much.
Works for me too!
