Amazing to watch people who call themselves conservatives support a candidate who is willing to use government power to steal from the weak. If you fail private property, you fail everything. This moral blind spot will grow into a massive abuse of power. It’s a serious, serious character failure - or used to be, among small-government conservatives. Shame.

Behold, the power of a cult of personality. I’ve always been fascinated by the times in the history books when one erupts, but never thought I’d get to see one on American soil - and among the “conservatives”, no less.

By the way, Trump is not going to deport the Mexicans, nor is he going to build a wall. He is the candidate most likely to ignore his own rhetoric a month after he says it.

Method for arriving at this conclusion, please?

He’s another Obama, only this time he’s “our guy”. Wait until FReepers start defending his close connections to NY mobsters Democrat operatives are waiting to slam Trump with.

He’s as well vetted as Obama. He’s our hope and change. He just turned in 2011. He’s a tabula rasa ready to fight for the right. It’s sickening.

Worse, it’s a planned marketing campaign and conservatives are falling over themselves to fall for it.

I am replying to this mostly because it bears repeating, and I want to keep it.

I am also thoroughly tired of the argument that it's Trump or a democrat, or Trump or a RINO, that somehow he's the only candidate out of the top 10. (Excepting the real RINOs, of course).

The polls are not bearing this out in the general election. There haven't been very many of them, but they've been telling. There aren't many candidates they put against Hillary besides the top few, so we don't know how Cruz would do, but Trump does *horribly*.

Carson 49% Clinton 42%

Carson 51.7% Clinton 39.5%
Rubio 50.4% Clinton 42.2%
Bush 49.1% Clinton 40.9%
Trump 45.9% Clinton 44.5%

Elon University National Poll Sept. 21

Indeed.

Go back to his 2000 book.

He proposed gutting out military in Europe.

To get $50,000,000.

He then wanted to take over the building of our schools with a massive federal spending spree.

GOOD LORD!

Oh no DT likes ED, so we had better support one of the Rino establishment bought and paid for... pro amnesty candidates so the Democrat nominee can win the election and we can watch the total destruction of America. You loser morons want to see Hilliary or Sanders or Biden win don’t you?!!

Go Trump Go...and kick these losers arses all the way to making America great again.

What you are saying could very well happen - If there is no wall and deporting, yes that would suck. Trump is the only one proposing plans to act in the manner most of realize is necessary.

The best thing about Kelo is when a group tried to get Justice Souter's house using it.

Anyhow I believe most of us think its America is pretty far gone as it is. I guess I'm thinking these days that Trump is worth risk.

Beside you shouldn't play Kelo the odds are worse than craps.
