Happy Silly Friday ...moving on.
You can give us your take on the Trump University Fraud trial I'm about to post.
Post away. At some point you'll realize your efforts are wasted. The electorate is rejecting Cruz and Rubio. Your cheer leading will soon turn into spite as you will feel compelled to spend the next several months posting every negative story about Trump you can dig up from the far reaches of the Internet. As you type, the anger will boil within you as the white spittle will form at the corners of your mouth.
I feel for you really I do. It sucks to lose.
But that doesn't mean I'm drinking the Trump Kool-Aid.
There are serious issues I have with The Donald.
No anger/spite here, I don't let all this crap bother me.
Especially on Friday.
It's you Trump folks that are such sore winners.
We just have to let the campaign play out. We haven’t got to the bottom of Trump yet.
Every time TownWhore.com tries to spike Trump, I become more resolved to back him.
Listen to yourself! You are, in essence, saying that an inconsistency in position should be a disqualifier. Of all of the candidates, the one you favor has been the most inconsistent on positions of any of them. You’ve somehow divined Cruz’ position has changed on amnesty. You probably mocked him for standing on principle in Iowa when he stood up to ethanol mandates. (Because that’s what a sellout does. Not!) Which president Trump will we get? The one who favors a mandate or the one who doesn’t? The one who favors gun control or the one who doesn’t? The one who thinks Planned Parenthood “does great work” or the one that’s pro-life? The one who says establishment is good? Why does Trump say he no longer eats Oreos? Because Nabisco moved to Mexico. He later went on to say in justifying his clothing manufacturing being in Mexico that it’s smart business when HE does it! I don’t believe that men are infallible. You believe only Trump is infallible.
So all that talk about how evil the Gang of 8 were... that means nothing?
All that concern about amnesty... that means nothing?
Immigration just isnt that important to Cruz after all, when we come right down to it?
Cruz is opposed to Trump's latest immigration stance, which he has called "touchback" amnesty.
Maybe the future of the Supreme Court is more important to Cruz than which amnesty plan is worse.
The writer seems to think Trump's supporters are being "duped", the word I think he used. At least that's a lot better than being called "zombies" or "poorly educated", as some critics have described Trump supporters.
Surely these critics don't intend to include my wife and I in those descriptions. We both have college degrees. As ex-Air Force officers, we are patriotic veterans. We've had successful business careers and raised a family and retired to raise Angus beef cattle. We're debt free and live comfortably. The point being, we've done something right in our lives. We're responsible people who have made our share of right decisions. But we are not dupes. We're not zombies, whatever they are. And we're not poorly-educated. Trump doesn't have us under his celebrity spell. Neither one of us ever watched his reality TV show anyway. We are not stary-eyed and oblivions about who we voted for in early mail-in balloting. We voted for Trump with our eyes and ears wide-open, knowing all of his warts and foibles and hidden skeletons.
But some people forget what our options really are. Critics complain about how bad it's going to be if Trump is elected and what they have to do to stop him. They forget to look at this election through my eyes. My choices in the primary were for a successful, outsider businessman who exudes leadership and winning. Two junior senators, who both sound good speaking and on paper but notoriously make bad presidents because they are not experienced management and executive decision makers. Their biggest negatives are that they are part of the Washington political class. One really nice, quiet ex-brain surgeon who lost this race when Paris got attacked and folks realized he didn't know squat about foreign policy. And finally a sitting governor and establishment politician, who blows his own horn, but can't scrap enough votes together in the primaries to win. It kind of makes it easy to pick Trump from this list.
And then there's the factor of who can win in November against what looks like will be Hillary on the democRAT side. Sanders will drop out or fail against the experienced Clinton machine. This country is in dire straits but we're not ready to elect a loser-most-of-his-adult-life Marxist in Bernie. Wait a minute. I take that back. We've got Barack Obama right now. I see Trump as the only one who can go up against the liberal crap Hillary and her hanger-oner husband BJ, will be slinging and still leave some marks. People think he's going to be nice against Hillary? No way. She won't know what hit her after he's done with his attacks.
The decision for us to vote for Trump was really quite easy. Who can win both the primary and general handily? Trump. I don't have confidence in electing the same old, same old political candidates, and then expecting any different result. We're tired of backing GOP losers.
We may be mistaken by what we think Trump will do as president, but we're not fooled. We have not been duped into thinking he is one thing versus another. We know exactly who he is. A winner.
My point is you’re putting finality to the primaries based on those three states. You as well as I know what I mean.
Of course you Trump bots have been duped, and that you can’t see it proves it.
And the fact that ONLY YOU CAN SEE that Trump supporters are being duped without any facts whatsoever, is in and of itself more than adequate proof that you’re making this sh*t up as you go along.
I don’t make anything up. I have my eyes and ears open unlike you, and I am not the only one. There a thousands is not millions of us.
That is, indeed, the issue. In fact, I think it would be reasonable to question whether he actually has "real positions" on many important issues.
You still haven't presented any evidence of that this Trump Judgement Delirium I am susceptible to, is real. You know, the one where I am duped?
“”I don’t make anything up. I have my eyes and ears open unlike you, and I am not the only one. There are thousands if not millions of us.””
Hope you don’t mind my correction of your wording...I already mailed in my absentee ballot with a vote for Trump and have been asking myself ever since if I would stay in a friendship with anyone whose word I cannot trust from one day to the next. Would anyone? I would even keep my distance from any relative who said one thing on Monday and denied saying it on Tuesday.
We may be electing someone as president whose word cannot be trusted longer than a news cycle which is exactly WHAT we have in the oval office now. My vote was for who I think can take Hillary out and if that succeeds, I think it will be “Katy bar the door..” Will we like what we get? Only time will tell.
Not a comfortable position to be in after decades of voting and to be experiencing this discomfort but we’re playing the hand we’re dealt! Come ci, come sa! Will our grandchildren have a better roster to choose from? We can sincerely hope so.
If OBAMA stepped behind one side of the OZ CURTAIN and came out the opposite side he would be TRUMP.
If you read the tRump advocates postings you will see the similarities, HOPE & CHANGE without substance. They all shout Hallelujah I BELEIVE, I BELEIVE!!!
Obama’s Press would not talk about Obama’s Rev Wright, saying that was not THE OBAMA they know; and Trumps Advocates’ will not talk about TRUMP’S hypocrisies.... they say he is EVOLVING or that he didn’t, or could not have , meant what HE SAID.
His rationalizations on PLANNED PARENTHOOD stands out like an abortion in Philadelphia.
But everyone is entitled to opinion, except those who are perceived to disagree with Trump, they are accused of all sorts of calumnies and personal insults, even the women.
Thanks for the Peggy Noonan article. She kinda gets it.
Guessing Pastor Jeffers open support for Trump in Texas today really hurts.
Hoping Pastor Jeffers will be a constant under the radar spiritual confidant for President Trump if he wins.
Paster Jeffers is very humble and would give very good counsel to hopeful future President Trump.
So if we are being “duped” if we think Trump best represents the path to the 1st part of fixing the disaster that has become our country. Consider me gladly “duped”.
Go Trump!
