As per typical GOP schedule, Republicans will batter each other bloody, until no one will vote for any of them.
Best outcome: from our proposals to God’s ears and then from there to Trump’s pen.
"Die-hard conservatives thought that if I couldn't get everything I asked for, I should jump off the cliff with the flag flying-go down in flames. No, if I can get 70 or 80 percent of what it is I'm trying to get ... I'll take that and then continue to try to get the rest in the future."
RONALDAS MAXIMUS REAGAN
If you're referring to me saying he won't listen to Cruz, at least on matters of Russia, Cuba, etc, it's pretty obvious. Trump is nearly 70 years old, and, obviously, a guy who has been around and knows, or should know, the basic and obvious concerns regarding Russia and the Castro regime. Yet he still supports working with them, helping them become stronger?
Here's something that many people don't seem to be aware of... I've posted it here previously only to have it dismissed by useful idiot simpletons as "spam".
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.
Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.
Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.
In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.
Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.
Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

Anyone actively involved in politics at this level has a disorder; not specific to Trump.
Ayn Rand? The atheist who tried to build a philosophical regime out of selfishness (and now being called upon to condemn supposed selfishness)?
What Trump actually did once: he let a person refusing his offer keep her property, which sat by his until the owner died.
Now what speaks louder, words or actions?
You are just elaborately making a show of denying that Trump will do what he SAID he was going to do.
Wow, that cognitive dissonance must be a bitch, what with the constant need to rationalize Trump’s prior words and actions.
I love the comparisons to Reagan - AS IF. Ronald Reagan was a liberal in the 1950s, and spent twenty five years as a conservative speaker, activist, chair of the Goldwater campaign, and conservative governor of California before he sought the presidency. Trump has no such history. Nice try, though.
Really? Would have expected more from you.
It takes a special kind of crazy to want to be a high level leader.
Happily one of those special kinds of crazy is: God crazy.
I didn’t say religion crazy.
Who is your second (viable) choice, behind Ted Cruz? Mine is Trump.
Cruz is my first choice because I’m certain he believes what Trump supporters hope that Trump believes. But where will you turn if Cruz for whatever reason drops behind or drops out?
Doesn’t need any such history. We just need the History Writer.
Did Reagan change positions on abortion? What was his stance on ethanol?
You cannot dispute the fact that Trump said that government should be involved to take her property after she refused to sell. He also says that government officials should be bribed to take from private citizens to give to business who line their pockets
First of all, Trump has been all over the map with his views and positions. Second, he's ALREADY said, recently!, that he wants to work with Putin and open up with communist Cuba.
These Ayn Rand, selfishness-is-king people attributed that to Donald Trump?
In the end, us ‘trumpies’ will have the last laugh because Cruz will not be winning any primary and he will not be president.
Trump will go all the way, and he will be elected without all the Freepers who are going to stay home and pout. So you can all keep posting crap and its not going to make one molecule of difference.
He says he wants to make a deal. That means he has some kind of idea of mutual benefit in mind.
I know little about Cuba except that the Obama administration took it on itself to “Tear that wall down.” What are we asking Trump or Cruz or anyone to do, put it back up? That would make the US look even worse.
Long battle in AC before Trump ever showed up.
