“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.”

He also buys politicians like his fellow cronies Soros and Buffet do, takes private land for his personal empire, supports Affirmative Action, wants to expand Medicare Part D, accuses some Republicans of letting people “die in the streets” while he talks up Universal health care and says PP does great things for women when all they really do is abort babies.

Before June 2015 this was called liberal......now he's a pragmatist.

Drones aren't paid to think, they simply do what they are told.

You disparage empty promises.
Yet you want ANOTHER attorney for president?
Do what you always did, get what you always got.

“The entire field of candidates, but for TRUMP, guarantees power for themselves and their DONORS.”

This is comedic gold. Trump was a DONOR! He tells you every chance he gets that he donated to Liberals to advance his personal empire so we can all believe what a great businessman he is. A true winner just like Soros and Buffet.

Or maybe he just liked Bill and Hillary so much as genuine people that he donated to their foundation because of all the good it does.......while being a registered Democrat.

I guess we all can't be quick a neutron when spotting hypocrisy.

Dear boob, you are exactly right. TRUMP absolutely did profit and gain access and business and personal advantage, as a donor.

That is why, booby dear, he is not owned by the donor class now, for the very reasons you have burped out.

Chase the donor strings and you will find the Cheap Labor Express behind every.single.one. Buy a clue.

You can thank TRUMP later.

I do like boobs so thanks.

Outstanding that you are all in for crony capitalism. Be sure to send thank yous to Soros and Immelt too. You don't want hog Trump's history of buying politicians for personal wealth and access.

Good know where the zombies stand.

You are totally incoherent now. TRUMP is a citizen who donated to campaigns and voted straight Republican since 1980.

Republicans didn’t even but barely run for office in New York, boobie. Of course he donated to Democrats in NY. They ran the joint. He needed permits, boobie.

Get it?

Of course I get it - you line politicians pockets to get what you want for your own personal gain. It's called crony capitalism......has been for years until Trump supporters started calling it “winning” or “ pragmatism” or some such nonsense.

You support this. Like I said, Soros must be a hero to you as well as he and Trump have bought and paid for the same liberals in the past.

This is simple stuff......when you think for yourself.

And I still like boobies.

TRUMP used all legal tools, right? What office holders did or decided with the donor cash is on them, right?

I know this is deep for you, but TRUMP is aware of political “favors”, therefore as the office holder and responsible party he is not using donors.

I think we’re done, plowing old ground. Too much great news to cheer out there, like Rubio moving Tedlit out of 2nd place in South Carolina.

You can go back to running in the street, now, but be home by dinner.

Ahhh - yes, the canard that he played by the rules. When you decide to deploy independent thought you then come across the notion that politicians can and are bought......the DONOR class as you stated do that.

Is it hard when you make a point against your other point to keep it all straight?

Drone....drone....drone......

Cruz has been a solid fulfiller of promises. Who else in the field has?

He has constantly been vilified by the leadership for pressing them to fulfill the promises they made to get elected.

It was Cruz’ constant pressure that dislodged Boehner from his speakership, and he isn’t even a member of the House.

What do you want?

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

Of course we care just not about the same things you do. There is absolutely nothing about open borders that is conservative that is first and foremost because all the other issues are fueled by this. None of the self identified conservatives we have elected, including Reagan, have done a single thing to stop it. So don't try and tell me about who is and is not conservative.

OK - so you’re not a conservative.

That’s perfectly fine. Freewill.

We can agree Trump isn’t either based on most other issues. The border is one of many, not the one issue.

Your honesty is refreshing.

Anderson Cooper defined the mandate in his question as the “mandate for everybody to have insurance.”

Watch it again, that is not how the question was asked. To keep posting the same tripe is senseless.

That’s how I remembered it. I was in my young teens at the time but I already had a passion for politics.

Limbaugh and Hannity popularize the idea that Kennedy was a conservative because he passed tax cuts. Neither one of them seem to know much about the division between liberals and conservatives in the early 60s. And considering how they champion the civil rights movement they would find themselves on the same side as JFK and Lyndon Johnson and opposed to Goldwater and Reagan.

“Just don’t be surprised when his former registered Democrat, pro-abortion slip shows. “

Interesting. Of course Ronald Reagan had once been a Democrat, and he signed the bill that legalized abortion in California, making it only the 2nd state where abortion was legal IIRC.

I remember that there was a faction arguing that Reagan wasn’t conservative enough to suit them.

And opposed to the Founding Fathers & the continuity of the social & political culture they believed that they were vouchsafing to their posterity.

As a Conservative spokesman in the era, I will assure you young "teenagers," that no one in the era who considered themselves a Conservative considered Kennedy a friend. I personally was the principle organizer of the hostile greeting he got in Cincinnati, when he came here in September, 1962, to campaign for the Democratic Congressional candidates, and he was greeted with signs challenging his policies on Cuba, Old Miss & in general--half of the signs paid for by me, from a friendly sign maker, who gave us a "sweetheart" at cost rate..

Kennedy was not only way out there on the movement euphemistically labeled the "Civil Rights Movement," but on foreign policy with respect to promoting Marxist values in the Third World; as well as the insane immigration policy that his younger brother & LBJ put through in 1965. We (as almost all American Conservatives), used to absolutely cringe when we heard that Boston accent reading the speeches his Leftist advisers wrote for him, over the radio or television.
