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.


Excellent! If this were shorter, I would make it my tagline ;)

Do you even read the news? Trump has either supported, or been endorsed by, every one of the people I named: McConnell, Brown, Schummer, the Clintons.

Who is Trump against: Cruz and Scalia.

To take our country back from the corrupt politicians...

Trump is a reliable conservative like a Saturday Night Special is a reliable firearm.

Were surrounded by frauds who want nothing more than to keep things business as usual with the same lawyers/politicians who brought us this decades long disaster.

America is not buying it this time.

“Who is (a conservative)?” “Cruz”?

Precisely. We gave the “conservatives” both houses of Congress.
They voted not too long ago to continue funding PP in their ongoing conspiracy to murder and dismember unborn children and offer their body parts for sale.
Not one of these Cruz-like conservatives would stand up to Bohner for the speaker job, then again, Ryan.
They bend over for `rat federal district court judges, and SCOTUS appointments. It’s so bad we’re concerned here they might not fight to exclude someone like Eric Holder—who tried to frame American gun owners by walking guns to narco-terrorists—from the big court giving the `rats a majority.
The conservatives stood by while Obama, “moderate” McCain and she-male Clinton completely wrapped Syria around the axle.
While Obama degraded and humiliated our armed forces services and its brave soldiers, airmen, Marines and sailors, and other than “tut tutting” the shame, our GOP congress does nothing.
They stand by while Obama spends our tax dollars with a `USA’ credit card like a sorority girl on spring break buying drinks for the house.
What American jobs are left from being sent out-of-country are being taken by “undocumented immigrants” (conservative Rubio, “!Si se puede!”) or are being sent to Mexico even as we deplore the practice.

Cruz conservatives seem sincerely puzzled at our frustration when all we hear from these staunch “conservatives” is that Trump isn’t a conservative.

If Cruz and the his fellow incumbent Beltway insiders are “conservatives,’ let’s hope and pray for something different from the neo-cons, the `crunchy’ cons and the flaccid, `hairy-chested’ conservatives who just .. can’t .. seem .. to pull the trigger. That’s why we’re re-defining the word `conservative’; the RNC, Reince Preibus which claim to be conservative, can’t get the job done. Fire them all.
Trump doesn’t have any such problems, he wants the job, he fights and isn’t shy about telling the Democrats or his fellow “conservatives” the way things will be. Go Trump.

He's not a conservative? Still parroting that BS line?

Btw, I haven't seen any conservatism coming out of D.C. for decades. Zip, none. But please continue running around telling all we must hire on yet another lawyer/politician because they're somehow different and they savior of America. Gak!

What we do have in D.C. is a private country club full of corrupt deceitful frauds. Learn it.

If Trump isn't the Democrat's "Trojan horse".......he sure does seem to be "accidentally" helping the other side that he purports to be running against.

Hillary is busy writing her next speech about how even "Republican Trump" realizes that all Republicans are too "evil" to be allowed in the White House again.

I am really hoping that one of these days someone will write a fair criticism of Trump, but these things all read like a sleazeball- written hit-piece ordered up by Jeff Roe to advance Cruz nipping away at Trump's heals, though he isn't actually.

The piece starts off with this wonderful bit of question-begging: by all fair accounts, Trump did not perform well in the South Carolina debate on Saturday night.

Those who think Trump performed well are not providing a "fair account" apparently? But how is this scored? As debating points in high-school, or according to which candidate project the ability to get things done that the voters want done for them? And who is this author to judge that on behalf of the audience, or declare that they are suffering from cognitive dissonance.

Or this doozy: "After all," they [evangelicals] lamely repeat, "we're not electing a pastor, we're electing a president."

Apparently they should be electing a pastor, or the most pastorly appearing candidate running - and we all know who that is. Who preaches the most to us? Why none other than Cruz.

Those who support Trump are not fair and they are lame. Nice.
