Nice diatribe, but I did not talk about government. You did. I suggested a private enterprise solution to be conducted right now that did not even involve the government’s junior colleges, which you mentioned. It would be a Trump Enterprises czar, not a government czar.

You now get to stay after school and practice reading comprehension.

Excellent analysis and response to a totally uninformed, bitter-with-life, loser poster.

until AFTER Trump kicked Georgie Dwarfanopoulus' @ss yesterday, and tossed the little overpaid dwarf face-first into the just-the-facts wall.

I so enjoyed this vivid word picture--thanks!

Well done, DO.

I cannot understand the vehemence of the Cruz supporters against Trump.

Trump is the only one actually out there, fighting day and night, for positions we hold as conservatives: a wall, protecting the 2nd Amendment, reducing taxes, getting American jobs back,stopping the migration of so-called Syrian refugees to our shores, slamming the corrupt media, calling out the crimes committed by Hillary Clinton.

Cruz cannot win a national election—he is smart, but he does not have the crossover appeal of Donald Trump in this unique election cycle. He also does not have the business, executive ability and experience needed to run the government. He also is funded to a large extent by certain wealthy people, and that concerns me. People don’t give a lot of money like that without expecting something in return.

Trump is funding himself, and that means a lot.

A 69 year old billionaire doesn’t need the headache of running this dysfunctional government and trying to right the ship of state. He will inherit a severely crippled America upon taking office. Twice now, Trump has warned of an economic bubble looming—and he is right.

Trump wants to fix America for his family and for ours to have a better future.

No candidate in my lifetime, save Reagan, had the same desire to truly want America to succeed.

2016 is for all the marbles. The best fighter in the ring is Trump. The last six months have proven that to be true.

Thanks, DO, for your stalwart defense of Trump.

And you’d have been bamboozled by the trains running on time in Italy in 1930.

You’re right. If Trump dumps another foreign babe and picks up a fourth wife, he should get a pass, too. We conservatives are not like Dems. Now, by your standard, we don’t expect a conservative to marry a hag for life, like Clinto did, while cheating on her. We expect him to dump the woman, and he should be considered a man of conservative principles. Trump is the face of dilettante conservatism.

Good point. Whatever he does or wants to do he’s going to need hire good people, really, really good people. Because sadly, he is out of his element and the details escape him. It’s fascinating that he’s captured the imagination of some conservatives despite having been anti-conservative and pro-Democrat for so long. He’s changed his tune, lots of opportunist do this. He proclaims himself one of us despite being a huge Hillary donor until recently, and some of us go gaga.
