Now that King Obama will finished the Court off as a communists liberal organization it is more important that we elect Trump.

Trump for President. All the rest of the candidates are worthless in protecting our Country from a dictatorship. Proof???? What in hell have have the Republicans done to stop King Obama, the communists black Muslim terrorists.

Well, you see that’s the whole thing in a nutshell.

Every time Trump opens his mouth, it might be a lie.

Every time a professional politician opens his mouth, it IS a lie.

I guess the point is that Trump sometimes tells the truth but the rest don’t.

But this is nothing to laugh about. The future of our country is at stake

Someone tell this moron this is why Trump's support is historic. To take our country back from the corrupt politicians who created this epic disaster and steady decline.

Gezuz. Could this not be any clearer?

"And who but Trump could boast that he could shoot someone in broad daylight in New York City and his followers would still follow him?"

No responsible gun owner or second amendment stalwart says anything like that. He's also stated he would 'go vigilante' like the movie Death Wish.

There’s more.

In 2011 Trump made the same argument that Rubio made in the debate in response to Trump’s Code a Pink moment.

Trump on if he were told by intelligence agencies of Saddam WMDs

I would have been a lot more certain that he had those weapons of mass destruction. He [Saddam] obviously overplayed his hand. All he had to do was say was, “Come in and take a look,” and he would still be running that country.

http://humanevents.com/2011/03/14/trump-unplugged/

But it has reached a point where Trump supporters actually defend him by saying he doesn’t know what he is talking about!

Replace Donald Trump's name with Hillary Clinton's in this article.

Then, you've got a story on why we need Donald Trump. He's the only candidate that can beat her.

Michael Brown, three quarters of a million people gave Trump more than twice the votes of the second-place finisher in the Drudge poll (and about five other polls as well).

The anti-establishment, anti-inside-the-beltway folks are voting you and your ilk "outa here."

Put your pencil down now.

“He’s also stated he would ‘go vigilante’ like the movie Death Wish.”

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.

This is pretty much how I imagine the people at these blogs when they come to work in the morning.

It appears that, even though he is still just a candidate and not the President, Donald Trump’s foreign policy, the Trump Doctrine, is being implemented on the world sage! Consider.

Trump formally announced his candidacy for the presidency in the 2016 election on June 16, 2015.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump

He sat down with Bill O’Reilly in June 16, 2015 and said:

“I say that you can defeat ISIS by taking their wealth,” Trump told the Fox News Channel star. “Take back the oil. Once you go over and take back that oil, they have nothing. You bomb the hell out of them, and then you encircle it, and then you go in. And you let Mobil go in, and you let our great oil companies go in. Once you take that oil, they have nothing left.”

http://deadline.com/2015/06/donald-trump-isis-bill-oreilly-jeb-bush-hillary-clinton-video-1201445840/

The Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War began on 30 September 2015, following a formal request by the Syrian government for military help against rebel and jihadist groups.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_intervention_in_the_Syrian_Civil_War

Around December 17, 2015, Putin offered high praise for the billionaire businessman-turned-Republican presidential front-runner on Thursday during an annual news conference with reporters.

“He is a bright and talented person without any doubt,” Putin said, adding that Trump is “an outstanding and talented personality.”

And in remarks closely mirroring Trump’s assessment of the campaign, the Russian leader called Trump “the absolute leader of the presidential race,” according to the Russian TASS news agency.

And politicians dont lie? When has that become a truth?

100% of the time we can be assured what a politician will do.
No so with someone like Trump, or Carson for that matter.
So what have politicians done these last years? Did they lie to us? The last election, did they lie to us to get into office? What did they do after they lied to get into office? Did they continue to lie?

So your choice, get knowingly habitual liars into office, or just maybe get somebody else into office that has actually done something with himself and his wealth.

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.

Yeah it will be historic when Hillary Rodham Clinton, or Bernie Sanders the socialist of Vermont get elected the next president.

Than what?

“...By all fair accounts, Trump did not perform well in the South Carolina debate on Saturday night, but this didn’t matter much to his followers, as evidenced by the Drudge Report poll which, as always, declared him the overwhelming winner...”

Where did all the votes go from the Trump dissenters? Where are the “fair accounts” people?

And, if I might borrow a quote, "Yesterday he was lying, today he's telling the truth."

Sounds like what we've been getting from the Republican party for quite a few years now. The list of broken campaign promises is long and repetitive.

The cognitive dissonance is with those still have any trust at all in any but a small number of Republicans in Congress and the GOPe.
