I doubt any of us can complain about your statement, but you need differentiate him as being an exectutive bound by the limits of the U.S. Constitution. That is very different from Obama or the rest of them.
You mean like a bobby pin? Or a bowling pin? Or maybe more like a brooch?
CRUZ IS LYING I WAIT LIKE FUER-DE-LANCE TO STRIKE!
He’s stealing Trump’s lines bit by bit. Kate, deport them, media demons . . . what’s next? Maybe he will roll out his own plan for helping the vets.
They’re good ideas, so it’s hard to knock them, but stealing is not nice.
Posting a divergent opinion on a thread is now “intruding”? I don’t think we should have caucus threads for political arguments.
Exactly.. again, Cruz’ opponents underestimate his intelligence which, in this Presidential field, is second to none.
For what? Because we still have free speech. Liberal speech-stifling must be contagious.
Nor can Trump win on his current level of support. He’s going to need a whole lot more.
...Theyâre good ideas, so itâs hard to knock them, but stealing is not nice...
Too true.
I am glad heâs taking a sickle to the path and I donât feel threatened by him one iota.
Itâs a real bummer when I see the opposite happening; and for what??
I'm with you in terms of a thread which develops into Cruz vs Trump bashing. It seems it's always the same cast of characters nipping at each other's heals.
I happen to like a Trump/Cruz ticket for obvious reasons, but I don't disparage the rest of the candidates unless one of them pulls a "Pyramid;" in which case this is my reaction:
.
This is a contest for president of our country. It is dead serious. Any nonsense spouted by candidates is fair game for criticism.
Now, now, that isn’t nice. Most of you get on the Trump threads and bash him - so turn about is fair play.
Agree 100%.
Contrary to the belief of some, all thought and speech did not originate with Donald Trump.
Great to hear that Ted wants to deport illegal aliens. But, the border wall does need to be built either first, or at the same time as the deportations. Otherwise more illegals will come streaming across.
Trump's Record on Free-market Issue: (from the Conservative Review)
Trump has a terrible record on free market issues. The only bright spot is the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing, but this glimmer is countermanded by his repeated support for bailing out Wall Street and the auto industry, and increased stimulus spending. Of particular concern is Trump's belief that the government can use eminent domain powers to seize private property in the name of private economic development. This comes as no surprise, given his support for using eminent domain to profit his own company.
Trump supported the Supreme Court’s 2005 decision in Kelo v. City of London, allowing public authorities to seize private land for economic development by private investors; Trump said, “I happen to agree with [the decision] 100 percent.” (National Review) This is no surprise given Trump’s attempt to use eminent domain in his own line of work. (Institute for Justice)
Trump supported President Obama’s 2009 stimulus, saying: “The word stimulus is probably not used in its fullest…you know, certain of the things that were given weren't really stimulus. They were pork, as we call it, or they were gifts to certain people. But overall, I think he's [President Obama] doing very well. You do need stimulus and you do have to keep the banks alive.” (CNN)
Trump supported TARP, saying, "You had to do something to shore up the banks, because ... you would have had a run on every bank." (CNN)
Trump supported the 2008 auto bailout, saying, “I think the government should stand behind them 100 percent. You cannot lose the auto companies. They’re great. They make wonderful products.” He also said that the federal government could “easily save the companies.” (Daily Caller)
Trump criticized the Federal Reserve’s intervention in the debt market, saying quantitative easing creates “phony numbers” that mislead the marketplace and “will not ultimately benefit the economy. The dollar will go down in value and inflation will start rearing its ugly head.” (CNBC)
Donald Trump has a history of using eminent domain to complete business deals. Multiple times Trump has supported the use of government agencies to take possession of homes and businesses for use in his private business plans. Eminent domain seizures are reserved only for public use of property rather than abuse by the government taking property from one individual and giving to another. (Washington Post)
Donald Trump has sought and received crony capitalist tax breaks for his commercial properties in New York. These tax breaks, and even an abatement, force the property taxes of other property owners to rise at the expense of the connected. Special treatment for one business or industry over another with the tax code conflicts with free market principles. (National Review)
In 2009, Trump supported Barack Obama's call for limits on the pay of executives. (CNN)
Trump is the “real thing”. We finally have the perfect candidate. Now lets get him in!
And going forward, their stated policies and philosophies will appear to blend. We'll see...
IMOHO
are you going to the Cruz event on the 13th on Curry Ford Rd??
It should be awesome!
