Trump’s Yuuge Lies

National Review ^ | February 23, 2016 | Ian Tuttle

>> How come Nevada never FOUGHT for their own lands, if it was theirs to begin with! <<

So now it's Nevada's fault that the feds own 85% of Nevada land? Brilliant!

[Carry_Okie]

Gilmore wasn't going anywhere.

Said the mainstream media.

And beyond my point about cheap labor and bad trade deals, is the fact that the Tea Party handed the GOP the power to fight Obama, and for the most part the GOPe has rolled over instead. So tell me how doing the same thing over and over again makes sense?

And... Like we don't all know that problem? So you think electing a would-be king is going to fix it? Really???

Trump may or may not be the answer. Only time will tell. But I know what ISN'T the answer - more of the same.

Actually, we were getting somewhere, having taken 31 State houses and both houses of Congress, and are giving up because of a feckless leadership we've culled significantly when handed the first opportunity to have a conservative government since 1924. We were doing great when we got rid of Cantor but didn't get McConnell. So we have a few more to cull. Why just give up?

And the voters.

Would-be king? Hyperbole much?

Yeah we got rid of Bohner and got ... Ryan.

[jstaff]

Yeah Trump!

He’s also paying off about a half billion in outstanding loans. Income doesn’t always equal profit.

[Hawthorn]

>> That somehow justifies Trumps actions <<

Seems to be the pattern about 65-70% of the time for your typical Trumpsters:

You point out any misdeed by Trump, any prevarication or outrageous statement issuing forth from the lips of his Worshipful Highness, and DT's lemming-like followers almost invariably will justify their Idol's deeds or words by saying that Obama did something even more terrible, Hilary said something even worse, Cruz is a bigger liar, etc. etc. etc.

In other words, in the system of air-tight Trumpistic logic, two wrongs can always make a right, as long as the other side's wrongs are at least a little bit worse than wrongs committed by the Dear Leader.

Got it!

[Hawthorn]

>> I wonder how many members of the GOPe that National Review favors have similar medical histories during military draft years? <<

So two wrongs make a right?

Is that it?

Somebody on NR's favored list might have been a draft dodger, so it's immaterial if DT had a questionable 4F?

Love it!

[Hawthorn]

>> Trump is PEELING the Media DeathStar for all that cash equivalency. He doesn’t need a billion dollars <<

Wait until the General, my FRiend, wait until the General.

At that point, the media will chew him up so thoroughly and spit him out so powerfully that heads will spin, will go into orbit, will explode.

And when we reach that point, moreover, even a billion might not be enough to win the day.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Trump is the Briar Patch Kid. “Throw me in there!”

For him there is NO bad publicity, none.

And for large part, because they can’t take away his nuclear Tweets and they keep on playing into them.

[kiryandil]

Wait until the General, my FRiend, wait until the General.

I've seen this rodeo more than once.

At that point, the media will chew him up so thoroughly and spit him out so powerfully that heads will spin, will go into orbit, will explode.

Trump is the only person I've ever seen to absorb the direct beam from the Media DeathStar, laugh, and grow stronger.

I think you're misunderestimating The Orange One.

Say, I wonder if Cruz is going to go 0 for Nevada today, like he went 0 for South Carolina?

BTW - did you hear that The TrumperTantrum peeled Rubio for a delegate in New Hampshire?

It is to laugh. :)

[TexasCajun]

You are comparing a jack-ass NYTimes reporter to the potential next POTUS.

Amazing that you can't even admit Trump should not have done it.

[TexasCajun]

...assuming Trump is nominated.

The FRumpters will hail the nomination of Rubio/Romney/Kasich as VP selection as very smart politics.

Cruz is not a VP type, I just hope Trump is smart enough to nominate his as Attorney General.

[Carry_Okie]

Would-be king? Hyperbole much?

Not a bit.

Yeah we got rid of Bohner and got ... Ryan.

McCarthy too. Two down, two to go.

[Cecily]

No, just that NR won’t bust their GOPe friends as they do DT on a daily or hourly basis. Hypocrites.

Robespierre, Napoleon, Hilter, Mussolini, Stalin, Obama ...


All Ego-maniac power hungry, deceptive, populist, lying (both sides of the argument) ... riding a wave of angry voters.

Is this America's Donald Trump in 2016 ?



As a FreeRepublic (Class of 1998) patriot, who's posted many times applauding Donald Trump's ideas and courage ...

I continue to be "incrementally" dismayed at Donald Trump's demeanor and apparent personal immaturity.



How about You ?

How are we supposed to support a candidate who has a "Howard Dean Moment" once a week ?

Will a Donald Trump "better deal at this time (2017-2018)" cancel-out "The Mexico Wall" ?

Frankly, it would be GREAT if Donald Trump could "morph" into the "more civilized" candidate that he's promised to at some point.



Finally, let's consider General George S. Patton Jr. for a moment.

Patton was a fierce warrior against the Nazis.

That was good.

Kinda like Donald Trump regarding The Mexico Wall, halting Islamic Visas temporarily, ending Sanctuary Cities, rebuilding the military, and several other points.

But General Patton voiced his genuine respect to German General Erin Rommel.

"Rommel, You magnificent bastard -- I read your book !"



Does Donald Trump ever do that ? "No" or very rarely.

No ... Donald Trump rarely behaves like Gen. George Washington.

Indeed ... Donald Trump perfectly mimics the "Do ANYTHING to ACHIEVE Power and Wealth" like the 1880 American "Robber Barrons".

Ouch !

Kinda like the GOPe "bastards" who screwed Chris McDaniels in Mississippi in 2014.

Kinda like Hitler's Nazi Brownshirts who viciously attacked ANY and ALL who dared voice ANY criticism or dissent against their DEAR LEADER.



It's estimated that almost four-million Conservative Americans REFUSED in 2012 to vote for Mitt Romney ... considering Mitt a galaxy-class @sss-hole.

I personally held my nose and voted for Romney anyway.

But 4,000,000 America Conservatives told Mitt Romneny to GO TO HELL.

Donald "Scorched Earth Victory at any Price" Trump risks the same fate.

The painful TRUTH is Donald Trump has become an @sshole.

Kinda like a nausetating version of New York's Chuck Schummer.




This is such a Shakespearean tragedy in light of Donald Trump's great ideas (see above list).

These words will "certainly" represent a moment of "cognitive dissonance" for many Donald Trump supporters at FreeRepublic.

Film at Eleven.

[little jeremiah]

From what I’ve read the two figures are referring to Trumnp’s US assests and the other is assets in other countries.

National Review doesn’t want their apple cart (ie the present political system) upset.

Interesting that a huge financial backer of Breitbart is a heavy Cruz supporter. I wonder what $$ is behind Nat’l Review.

[little jeremiah]

Exactly. Derbershire tells the truth. When people hate the truth, they are no longer worth listening to.

[little jeremiah]

[stratboy]

Name Another?

But here a few links to question NR's conservative bona fides:

Faux Outrage

Not Authority on Conservatism

Huntsman & Romney

[Kickass Conservative]

My understanding having read it here is that Trump earns nearly $400,000,000 a year from his Privately held Company, Trump Enterprises.

Are we now going the Harry Reid trick that was used aganst Romney about releasing his Tax Returns? Remember Harry saying that he heard from an friend that Romney hadn’t paid Income Taxes for ten years.

The difference of course is simple, Romney was embarrassed by his Wealth, Trump is not so he won’t be shamed into anything.
