I did not watch the debate on Saturday because I was out of the state of TN and did not come back until Saturday afternoon, but I recorded the debate on my DVR and watched it later.

What I found very disturbing disturbing of Trump was his behavior during the moment of silence for Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

While all the candidates had their heads bowed, Trump just looked straight ahead as if the death and loss of Scalia meant nothing to him.

Hey - Iloved W
But I am done contributing to the library.
He should have stood up for the Country and Himself; like he is now defending his little brother.
As Truman said - the ‘buck stops here’.
AND W was the pres on 9/11

Fine with me. Whatever it takes to destroy the demonrats. The country can only resume operations as a representative republic after they are out of the picture.

Here's the problem with that thought.

Donald has been a Liberal All his Adult Life. Donald ran in the Liberal Political Circles. Donald supported in person and Financially to Democrat Politicians such as Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton. You are not going to get rid of the Democrats by electing Donald Trump, you are just going to give the presidency to one.

“Even now the FBI/BLM are rounding up oathkeepers for prison at just under 100 people.”

I didn’t realize that Oathkeepers was a militia.

Do you have a link?

Too many Freepers are locked into the political game. Trump supporters, like myself, are done with the games. Yes, we want to see heads roll. It takes guts to make heads roll. Trump has guts.

Sooner or later that kind of thinking brings about leadership like Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin. At some point it will be your head that is expendable. So you want the front of the train or the rear car?

“Heck he’s made it clear he supports single-payer universal healthcare for all....”

He’s just repeating what he heard at leftard cocktail parties that he attended because the demonrats were demanding bribes.

Thomas Sowell could set him straight in ten minutes.

I think you violated a corollary to Godwin's Law right there.

America wants The Wall and an end to trade deals.

Trump is the ONLY candidate promising those things.
It’s all just that simple IMHO.

It is indeed very unforgivable and if I vote for him in the general election in November I will have to hold my nose.

I’m aware that I’m gambling with Trump. Problem is, any of the others, either party, and you’re not gambling. More like you know you’re gonna die and there’s nothing you can do about it. Trump is the only shot anybody has, any time soon, at a president who isn’t owned by Wall St. fat-cats. The rest, both parties, are totally owned as Bill Bennett notes and, in my view, one more Wall St. owned presidency would finish this country.

He’s called a press conference to whine like a whore in church.

Poor Little Donnie. He can’t stand the mean ole Candidates calling him out and exposing him for the fraud he is.

Boo hooo..

I wish someone, ANYONE would stand up and tell the coward to quit jacking his jaws and do what he said he would do after he said he wouldn’t after he said his Lawyers said Ted was good to go. That is file the challenge to Cruz’s eligibility.

Come on Donnie, if you can’t keep your word on that why should ANYONE believe you would keep your world on anything. Pick up the Phone call Dewey, Cheatem and Howe and start the lawsuit.

Let’s see it Mouth!

“Donald has been a Liberal All his Adult Life.”

Donald has been nothing all his adult life; not a liberal, not a conservative, not even an independent. He has been a businessman, first and last, and nothing else.

“Donald ran in the Liberal Political Circles.”

He had to. They were the ones demanding the bribes.

“Donald supported in person and Financially to Democrat Politicians such as Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton.”

Supported? Can you say, “Bribed?” I knew that you could.

“You are not going to get rid of the Democrats by electing Donald Trump”

Really? It seems to me that he must have a vast caldera of seething resentment at having to pay those loathsome coprophages all these decades.

“you are just going to give the presidency to one.”

You could be right. However, that’s just a possibility. Any of the others will preside over the death of the United States, and that is a certainty.

My prediction is that he will make a couple of good faith deals with the demonrats, they will stab him in the back, as is their wont, and he will Freddy Kruger them.

For the exact same reason you posted it.

Anymore questions?
