Perhaps you should ask yourself why you are offended by the truth? Trump’s current political following is very fervent, and it is based upon... nothing. He has no experience, he has contradicted his on words of a few years ago many times in the past few months, and he is motivated more by a desire to show off his business acumen than he is by a desire to reverse the Democrat damage of the past decade... and yet his following on even the most conservative webpages is very strong, despite all of this. The previous poster’s point, that the baseless fervor matches that of Obama, is a valid one. So again, why are you offended by the truth?

Tonight on Greta there was a discussion about a 45 million gas station in Afghanistan that should have cost no more than $500k. Of course with 19 trillion in debt this sort of thing has happened over and over and over in government.

Enter Trump...with vast deep experience of being under budget and ahead of schedule. We need that kind of thinking at the top and then we can watch as it seeps through the corrupt system. I’m not saying it will be easy..getting the lips detached from the gravy train will be tough.

And meanwhile..if we don’t do something about immigration we won’t even be a country anymore so first things first.

Because it is not the truth. Here is the truth, you and your little cruzer pals have been the butt of a cruel joke perpetrated by the msm. There was never any chance of cruz winning Iowa or any other state, the msm played you by manipulating polls in an effort to bring down Trump. Now, as the election gets closer, the posters have to get accurate to maintain any credibility at all. That is why Trump suddenly jumped to a 10 point lead over night. So after all your condescending post thinking you are so much smarter and better then everyone else, the truth is we knew all along you were being played like the little punks you are.

Unprovable assertion. -1

Trump's current political following is very fervent,
verifiable by observation. +1 = 0

...and it is based upon... nothing.
False claim on its face. -2 = -2

He has no experience,
Insufficiently specific assertion resulting in a commonsense falsehood. -1.5 = -3.5

... he has contradicted his on words of a few years ago many times in the past few months,
Superficially true in part; false in part; unsupported by links and nonspecific: +.5 = -3

... and he is motivated more by a desire to show off his business acumen than he is by a desire to reverse the Democrat damage of the past decade...
Unprovable assertion. -1 = -4

... and yet his following on even the most conservative webpages is very strong,
True. +1 = -3

... despite all of this.
Doubles down on mostly false or unprovable claims (above) as evidence. -3 = -6

The previous poster's point, that the baseless fervor matches that of Obama, is a valid one.
False. The fervor may appear to have reached a similar volume; but the content and causative factors for the fervor differs substantially in origins, goals, demographic participation, funding, political ties, and a number of other factors.
+1 for noticing the degree of fervor = -5
-2 for calling the fervor "baseless," a logical impossibility = -7
-6 for the cited differences in content of the fervor = a total score of minus 13


So again, why are you offended by the truth?

What truth are you referring to?
