100% Amen!!

Trump is ONLY candidate has a track record of success and the competence to fix the problems.

Cruz, Rubio, etc are all talking heads with no experience in the real world.

Yes, I read the article - tell us why Trump is a conservative. I don’t know who the author is nor do I care about his ridiculous “rock ribs” and conservative bona fides.

Trump plainly said last night that he supported the Obamacare Mandate.

Clearly he was talking about the mandate for coverage of preexisting illness, because that was the question that Cooper asked. Regardless of what the crowing Cruzers are saying here, he was not for mandates for universal coverage mandated in ObamaCare.

I don't think ObamaCare in some form will ever go away because business and their paid lackeys will make sure it doesn't no matter who is president.

Amen, brother!

TRUMP is bombastic, he’s quick as a neutron, with probably a MENSA competitive intelligence, but he is foremost a citizen, and a patriot I believe. And he is mad, like most citizens, at the demise of our country at EVERY level, in every institution.

(This “institution” thing would include taking a long and hard look at the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, too!) See Paul Ryan.....

Hillary and Cruz and the rest of the candidates, except Bernard, want to hide their intentions in chatter, in the weeds of “policy” and “political correctness” and “political strategy”, arguing whether the Constitution is proven by original intent, living intent, or dead by now a dead letter! It’s all noise, it’s endless, but mostly it’s useless.

The intellectual and academic exercise is of Hillary and Cruz is noise making for the rubes, but behind them are the Cheap Labor Express wanting to turn us into a North American Union. Period! (Heidi even worked on structuring “friendliness” with South America and Mexico) for the CFR. Endearing, and cute, huh?

TRUMP wants to blow it all up and the Establishment who rode in with all of that silver-tongue crap. So do I.

The term “cut to the chase” and “Make America Great Again” works for a start!

Close the damn border! How hard is that?

Enforce current border law! How hard is that?

Starve out every Chamber of Commerce business who are hiring all these invaders that are living off the backs of working Americans, employed by big and small businesses! How hard is that?

Never reward INVASION, with and “utter” “pathway for legalization”! How stupid is that, Mr. Cruz?

Hang the rapists, human trafficers, the drug cartel mules!How hard is that?

Blow up the Marxist hold on Public Education (see my years old tagline) from K through 12 and running every socialist university campus! How hard is that?

The entire field of candidates, but for TRUMP, guarantees power for themselves with this race and for their DONORS. Between them, it all leads right back to legalization and citizenship of the invaders, to pull off this North American Union.

Not TRUMP.

Wake up, America.

TRUMP 2016

For reasons not clear to me, our leaders - both parties, "liberal" and "conservative", and our generals and admirals, have ruled out this effective and historically supported technique and replaced it with using the armed forces to "send a message".

Not a lot of profit in short wars.

There are other things he's waffled on over the years but the fact that he thinks people “are dying in the streets” and he needs to solve for that makes him a RINO at best and a nuisance at worst.

It is not important whether he does or not because the Hillary/Bernie voters do and that would be a key part of their campaign.

JFK had a Conservative voting record of only 12% in the Senate. He was just not adept enough to get his leftist agenda through Congress. LBJ used the honeymoon after the Assassination, to put through the Leftist Agenda, which has messed up the lives of Americans, ever since.

Nixon was no real Conservative, but he was definitely to the right of JFK--well to the right of JFK.

I think the Uniparty fears Cruz can’t be bought,

Can't buy something you already own silly.

I posted the actual question that Trump was asked which included a definition of the mandate in the question. Here is the question that Trump was asked. “If Obamacare is repealed and there is no mandate for everybody to have insurance...why would an insurance company ensure someone with pre-existing conditions?”

Anderson Cooper defined the mandate in his question as the “mandate for everybody to have insurance.” The first words out of Trump’s mouth when he answered the question were. “Well, I like the mandate...”

No one said he is a conservative. He’s a pragmatist. He does stuff. Like build buildings, employ people, grow a respectable family, and wants to protect America from being destroyed. All the others just want a 200,000 paycheck and power.

“Do you really believe God’s word?”

Yes I do. Including the parts where kings and kingdoms rise and fall, and are blessed or cast down for their works and worship. Their real worship, not their sanctimonious hysterias and hubris.

But thanks for a paragraph, instead of one of your typical ‘nuh uh’ one liners. You get a star.

All three first-term Senators elected to the White House - Harding, Kennedy, Obama - have been miserable failures.

There's a message in that.

As I suspected:

@realDonaldTrump: I was asked about healthcare by Anderson Cooper & have been consistent- I will repeal all of #ObamaCare, including the mandate, period.

@realDonaldTrump: I was referring to a backstop for pre-existing conditions. I will eliminate the law, in its entirety, & replace it w/ something much better.

"What would you do if you had to offer a real comment?"

You mean "real comments" such as the one you made earlier:

"The most important fact about you is that you support your lover Trump with irrelevant nonsense."

The “great men of the Earth” are going to remain in power until the Last Trump

Heh, let's hope this present Trump is not the Last Trump.

I know. You supporters don't care what he stands for.....if anything. You want to win.

In 2008 we were told McCain was a maverick who could reach across the isle.........2012 were told Romney has the middle ground covered so it was a shoo-in.......2016 we're told principles don't matter, just elect Trump because he can win a state like NY (living here I can tell you the people of NYC do not like him and there's no way the city will vote for him) so who cares what he says, said, did, does, will do.

Sorry - Conservative principles are not living and breathing and they are not up for sale to the most wealthiest guy in the field.

He's a liberal. Short and sweet. You have the right to support him for sure. Just don't be surprised when his former registered Democrat, pro-abortion slip shows.
