Can't you come up with something new?

Don't need to.

The immediately following part, which you left out, explains EXACTLY why there was no need to read further.

[central_va]

Why is he so insecure when he is devastating the opposition? He does not need the braggadocio act anymore. I think it is actually hurting him now. He needs to put on the cool guy Sammy Davis Jr. act in a hurry.

Running up the score needlessly is not something most Americans like.

[Duchess47]

Thank you, you are so right in my opinion.

It’s time to stop arguing about how perfect a conservative we can be and start acting like an American, trying to save our country.

This country is in crisis and we don’t have the time to have theological or ideological debates about the number of angels on the head of a pin or whose conservative bonafides are best.

It really is time to wake up, stand up and do something.

[Rusty0604]

Our nondiscrimination laws, as all our laws and rights, apply to citizens, not to the whole world.

[Dstorm]

You do realize he will have a phone and a pen right?

[Kaslin]

yeah and they believe him.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Thank you, Carry Okie!

You have it all down pat.

FRegards ....

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Without Trump Bush III would have been inevitable.

[papertyger]

I oppose Trump because I don’t believe he’s anything close to conservative.

And that's fine. But that's not the rationale you were arguing.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Might as well look at him as a roller coaster ride. He’s doing it his way.

Once someone reaches a certain level of success, it’s hard to take advice from others.

[ScottinVA]

“And that’s fine. But that’s not the rationale you were arguing.”

Actually, you were trying to assign me a rationale. I corrected your statement.

[mrsmith]

Looking at his articles at the site he has written some good things about Trump.
He should have written a more focused article, not a summary of criticism.
Putting every knock on Trump in the article is what makes it ‘ring’ false.

[KansasGirl]

2016 Trump supporters remind me a lot of 2008 Obama supporters. He’s their hope and change candidate, though it doesn’t make much sense to me that much of the right is putting their faith in an arrogant, left-wing, narcissistic, corporatist, elitist New Yorker. The eminent domain issue alone should have conservatives running from Trump, IMO. Not to mention his support for TARP and corporate bailouts.

[papertyger]

Than you must not be able to reply to Trump supporters with any civility since they are all the things you mention.

Thank you for your refreshingly new "I know you are, but what am I" response.

[Zionist Conspirator]

Look at all of this and tell me that you trust someone who is this petty, immature and erratic with the responsibility of handling the IRS, the DOJ, the DHS, our military and our nuclear codes. I certainly wouldn't. It's fine to say that you don't trust Sanders or Hillary either, but if even many Republicans don't think he's together enough to handle it, why would the American people?

Because ethnic/racial identity is more important to them than either G-d's truth or ideological principles.

[Kaslin]

You know why that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave won?

He won because so many on side didn't like the nominees in the 2008 and 2012 general election and chose to sit the election out. Some even voted for a third party candidate who had zero chances of getting elected.

[Gaffer]

Ok. I believe your assessment. My first warning was his first link to Politico about Trump’s immigration stance where it was implied that it was only Muslims Trump was originally saying we needed to allow in. As I read it, Trump said nothing about religion, which could have meant Christians affected by the war between Assad and ISIS, too.

[Carry_Okie]

Once someone reaches a certain level of success entitlement, it's hard to take advice from others the law.

Fixed. He's dodged the edges of the law all his professional life.

[UCANSEE2]

it could serve as a great example to emulate by other civilized nations

Many other nations have already built a 'wall' and have limited any immigration.

IF we think there should be an example to emulate, perhaps we should look at JAPAN's immigration policy. Or even Mexico's. They just shoot you if you cross the border without paying a bribe.

[papertyger]

hi aims and goals in making thee deals may not be what mot Conservative would be hoping for.

If he just gives what he put his reputation on, what else matters?
