We’ll find out
Pretty quickly. I have trump winning in s Carolina by the MOE or slightly more and the same in Nevada on Tuesday
so you can then enjoy your Trump Care mandate - which will complete your Donald Trump man crush.
enjoy.......socialism is okay as long as we call it trumpalism.
By the way, Trump winning SC doesn’t mean you aren’t gullible and fooled...it just means you have a lot of company.
I mean, Obama got 70 million votes twice.....so by your own metric he is superior to Donald. And The Koch Brothers and George Soros and Michael Bloomberg are all far superior businessmen to Trump - so by that metric all of them would be better choice.
Dude, you need to get off your “who” obsession and start asking “why” and “how” about a few things. Tiny minds obsess over people, great minds over ideas. Which shoe fits?
He's in the drivers seat right now, it's been his race to win or lose for some time.
I understand why someone would prefer Cruz, but going scorched earth on Trump, who after today may be the likely nominee in waiting is hardly helpful.
Our biggest enemy is the evil party and whoever they will try to fool us with this time. Let's not pave the way for their victory, because if they win this one. It's over.
Conservative purists are out of touch with reality. Take trade, for example. The purists have pushed their free trade ideology for years to the destruction of our middle class and manufacturing base. And they want more of it because their religious text book puts it at the top of the list of graces bestowed by purist conservatism. Ignore the reality that such a beast as a free market simply does not exist. Ignore foreign money policy, obstructionism, and outright bigotry. Let us destroy our power and wealth for their stupid blind Faith in their purist conservative ideology.
UPC - Unrealistic Purist Conservatism
They follow their UPC god wherever he leads.
My first ever vote was for Reagan. Those first two votes I was proud to make. He was the best president in his century, his policies brought America back from the abyss, and formed a boom for almost thirty years.
He fashioned my thinking on trade, along with Milton Friedman.
Xzins, I do understand there is a lot of truth to your post, but I don't hold the old Dick Gephardt phrase of Fair Trade as being correct.
I also don't lump Trump in with that phrase, although he uses it.
I think Trump will do some good things in the economy and with trade, and we will see if he measures up to Reagan.
He might, he just might. We shall see.
I stopped reading right there, because frankly that's straw bullshit sir. Straw bullshit. For God sakes, many of the people pushing your liberal boy are the same ones nit picking Cruz over his imperfections. And fine, go ahead and be Bernie Sanders on Trade if you want to....you don't understand anything about economics, which you have admitted in the past and are demonstrating now.
Lake, there's a vast amount of econ ignorance on "our" side. Sad. It will be our undoing.
Your god of the church of UPC is what’s bullshit.
Look at the state of this nation. They’ve brought us to ruin, and they want more of the same.
You are the witchdoctors of politics prescribing the equivalent of eye of newt and toe of frog. And we are trillions in debt, unsecure on every front, and crumbling before our own eyes, and you of the UPC church want more of this same offering to your god.
I didn't stop there, I replied to him. I believe he will keep his opinion, but will think about what I said and where I'm coming from.
He and I disagree on a few Trump things (this one not as much as the Bush lied stuff), but I respect his opinion.
He's a strong conservative, and rarely goes off on others, always good for a conversation that has value. He and I agree on well over 90% of conservative positions, as do you and I, CEW.
Just my 2 cents.
that was all true until 6-7 months ago. That’s why it’s so disappointing...like El Rushbo, he has jettisoned all he stood for for years.
I appreciated Reagan's position on it, and it's NOT BS.
The ruination of the budget did not come from free traders per say, but those who back stabbed and allowed the other side to get away with increasing spending for so many years.
There IS a side to so called free trade that coddles illegals and wants no borders, and no American culture. That's the BS part.
who the hell is “they?”
Liberals like Trump. But you can’t see it.
WTF is the church of the UPC?
More straw bullshit from you.
Lake, please notice the dissembling and unraveling.
Free trade is not the foundation of capitalism. Self interest is the foundation of capitalism. And this crap sandwich called free trade (or fair trade, it’s kissing cousin) is simply a way for those behind the scenes to deal for their own self interest and not that of the nation.
The nation’s SELF-INTEREST is far more important than any UPC doctrine on ‘free trade’.
Free Trade does not exist, lake.
Self interest does. Those other countries operate on self-interest and we operate on pie-in-the-sky.
Sounds like CEW must be a priest of the UPC church. This really discombobulates his religious text.
Free trade and open borders are NOT the same thing. Not at all.
in fact, most who support open borders OPPOSE free trade....altho some support both.
It’s been shown that high tariffs cost many more jobs than they save - and those they save they save by perverting the market. Now open borders costs jobs by perverting the labor market as well. Thus I am against BOTH perversions of the market.
It's from both sides.
Barring some anti miracle, sooner than later, one of the two, Trump or Cruz will win this thing, we will see tonight when the vote is done.
Trump has some good points on the trade issue, I think he will change the direction of the economy back towards the free market.
I'm not giving up yet, none of us should. I'm just hoping Marco doesn't gain from all this, and I'm really giddy that no other GOPe candidate has any traction.
The rebellion is winning, but I do think we need to stop the scorched earth stuff.
define the UPC or STFU
hard to stop that scorched earth stuff when people just wont listen!
You said you refused to read the post in which it appeared, so I invite you to pay for the wall Mexico.
I absolutely agree.
Free Trade does not exist, lake. Self interest does. Those other countries operate on self-interest and we operate on pie-in-the-sky.
There are some semantics here to be cleared up. The freedom to trade our time for a better life is extremely important concept. It's NOT BS. When I hire someone to do a job for a price, or I do a job for a price, it's a free exchange, a free will trade.
I understand there are some poorly run governmental forced trades, currency manipulation, and just plain bad management, but dumping the baby out with the bath water is not a good thing.
My business is in the wild world of construction, it is overly regulated, but it's plenty free, a great example of free trade. People freely pay me to do a job. I trade my time for their hard earned money and have to earn their approval by doing a good job.
LOL. Well done sir (or ma'am).
