What do you think of the fact that last night in the town hall Trump clearly said that he liked the Obamacare mandate?

He’ll put the people first, over the globalists. I’m not too worried about his social positions. He’s not perfect, but to me he’s above the rest. He could talk about the constitution more, we need to hold his feet to the fire on that.

Did you watch the whole town hall or just a clip, just so I know? As for my thoughts, they were talking about pre-existing conditions.

Trump has had plenty of practice acting with his past “reality” shows. Do we really want a “reality” president?

Any article or commentary that starts with “I’m a rock-ribbed conservative” or “I’m a die-hard conservative” should immediately go in the trash.


Uh...why?

This is why only Cruz has any hope of correcting our direction.

Trump is total NWO establishment can kicking socialism to his core.

He has smoked what little discernment you Trumpers may have had with a cart full of empty, unfulfillable promises.

And why not? Let me guess, you are going to say he is for touch-back amnesty.

The uniparty is against Cruz, too, and against him well before it was against Trump.

True, but he won’t be the R. nominee.

Then you have no reasons!

Trump is an Amnesty Whore, and has played politics to get his way all of his life.

Your big problem is that you can’t discern between politicians like Trump, and Statesmen like Cruz and Reagan.

I would like Trump much better if he was always careful in his speaking.

Politics is an art.

One of the essentials is to know the key issues down pat. George Bush, Jr. knew his talking points.

Another is to not insult or malign any group.

This is probably the last Presidential election we have a chance to win for about twenty-eight years, when the sons and daughters of our many immigrants will become mainly affluent Republicans.

Well Reagan turned out pretty well. Don’t you think?

Excellent post and is as true as truth can be. Trump is as real American not that elite corrupt bunch of sick pigs that are running America now.

Trump for President.

A rock ribbed conservative could support Trump, but a principled conservative would support Cruz...

Both men are qualified to be POTUS, and I would vote for either...

Trump isn't a principled conservative...

Bush, McCain and Romney were not neither and I voted for all of them...

Bush, Hillary, Cruz and Rubio are bought and paid for liars. These people will do what ever their puppeteers tell them to do. Only one man will do what he says. Remember this. All the rest are bought and paid for. Donald Trump is the only person who is not bought and paid for. He is self funding.

I watched the entire question and answer on Obamacare. Anderson Coopers question asked something to the effect of, if the Obamacare Mandate was repealed how would people with pre-existing conditions get insurance? The first words out of Trump’s mouth were “well, I like the mandate...”

Anyone who wants to can watch the question and answer here. http://hotair.com/archives/2016/02/19/trump-on-obamacare-i-like-the-mandate/

A decent read, a decent case.

Many of her points are what won me over to preferring Trump.

Trump is qualified only to be a swindler.

He has never been anything else.

He hasn’t the faintest clue what a president should do, or how a real president would do it.

That’s a canard.

Rich sons and daughters and grandchildren of Cuban original immigrants vote more liberal not less

Same with orientals

It’s identity politics

Vote against the shrinking white majority first and foremost

...AND it’s time to rock the GOP, a party who refuses to execute when the voters put them in office.

I agree with rock the GOP. I like Ted Cruz and I think he could raise his approval ratings if he would damn the GOP too.

I would love to see him say something like, "If I were president I would have vetoed Paul Ryan's spending bill."
