Really the most amazing part of it is that Trump might actually think he is the man to bring the country together in any way, shape, or form.

Regardless of what he thinks, he has to say it because it is at the very core of any populist campaign.

Trump is really a better politician than some of the politicians running.

He saw what worked eight years ago and revised for his target audience.

I have never heard of this. Show the written or video evidence.

this is a damage control story given that one of Ted Cruz’s mega donors is a homosexual cause advocate.

I have seen the interview with the lesbian asking him about “gay” rights. His answer was a few second non-answer. I see many social conservative sites magnifying this a thousandfold. Rubio with a “gay” past (hopefully past) is going to do something? Cruz, who said in 2012 when running for Senate that “gay marriage” was not an issue for him, but repealing 0’care? And also is on the record as stating that marriage is a states’ rights issue? And has taken big $$$ from bunches of NYC rich homosexuals?

It is not possible to find a very pure socially conservative candidate that is up to the most stringent standards. Not possible. Too bad that that’s the way it is. Not one that will win, that has a fighting spirit and will protect our borders and do all the other things necessary to bring the US back from the abyss.

Trump has said he will seek to overturn the SCOTUS “gay” marriage ruling, and that’s good enough for me.

Possibly (very remotely), but what is more likely is that we have a supreme court appointed by President Cruz who will reverse Ogberfell and then send the issue back to the states, what would probably happen is that the “marriages” that have already occurred in states with Marriage Amendments would stand (after all legal remedies) and then no future gay marriages in those states.

I doubt very much that would happen.

A better remedy to the problem of SCOTUS would be an Article V convention in which amendments are passed restricting the power of the 9 lawyer gods.

States should be empowered to over rule any SCOTUS decision, otherwise the court is going to continue to dictate to us and issue it wants, and we are going to continue to sweat what political activists get appointed to the court as we are doing now.

The court has abused its power, it’s time to take a good measure of it back.

Me too. We are interested in the salvation of the country. Others are only interested in childish issues.

Trump is the king of graft!

That’s why he had an orgasm over the Kelo decision.

People getting unglued about the issue of “coarse language” makes me see how having some kind of voting test might be a good idea.

People getting unglued about this don’t have a pinch of understanding about real issues, how the US and indeed the whole world is on the brink of the abyss, or even how to tell someone’s actual character. It’s quite mind blowing, really.

Actually Cruz had a nice fund raiser with some NYC homosexuals (6 months after a suspicious death of a homo pickup in the homo hosts’ apartment). I know that Rubio has a mega rich donor/funder, last name Singer, whose son is a homo and wants homo marriage pushed. There are articles floating around about Rubio’s homo past, as well.

Heh - wrong thread, I was thinking we were on the coarse language thread.

It amazes me that people are worming out of what little Trump said, that he’s going to push the homo agenda. I am sure Cruz or someone is behind this new thing.

I know some people who have been involved in construction in the New York/New Jersey area in a major way and they tell me that it is IMPOSSIBLE, not just very difficult, actually IMPOSSIBLE to get a major project done up there without a great deal of graft. EVERYONE has their hand out and if they don't get paid, nothing gets done.

I had to ship a container full of materials to Manhattan last year. Shipping the container there cost $4K, getting the contents unloaded and into the building was almost $10K.

That's why he had an orgasm over the Kelo decision.

There is probably no private individual in the country who has benefited more from eminent domain than Trump.

“Everyone we have elected has lied. People are very very angry. Angry enough to say to heck with them all. I am with Trump.”

Your solution to lying politicians is to vote for a guy we know lies through his teeth? That seems strange to me.
