Hope you feel better.

Much better. It was Friday, and it took most the weekend to get through it, but Friday to Saturday morning was the worst. I was so close to having my wife call 911. I seriously wanted to die.

I weighed myself this morning. It's amazing how much weight you can lose when you get food poisoning. I lost 15 lbs. I was worried about getting too close to 200lbs.

Well, one last thing to worry about. God is most definitely good. What Satan meant for evil, God turned into a blessing.

Oh, by the way, I would not recommend this type of a weight loss program, it is not very pleasant.

The meat of that book can be taken directly from FR’s threads.......as you know “Talking to A Trump Supporter” is like trying to get out of a circle.

[CodeToad]

Americans are standing up for Trump!

I am too!

He isn’t perfect, but he is an Americans and puts America first!

[OneVike]

Yes, regardless of how it goes, it should be interesting.

I’ll support the nominee, I just pray it is Cruz,

[datura]

Here’s a clue for you: If you don’t want to deal with the unwashed masses who support Trump, try staying off of Trump threads then.

Otherwise, you’re dealing with us by choice, while complaining about it. No wonder you’ve got Stockholm syndrome and want to not only stay on the plantation, but also try to talk others into staying with you.

[wubjo]

More corrupt liberals backing Trump! If teamsters backed Cruz the Trump supporters would be saying see liars like liars.

I agree if you are saying by this we now see more of the TRUTH of Trump in garnering this support

- HE IS NO CONSERVATIVE. -

and further, we lack any sure evidence that he will promote conservative principles in policy nor stick with ANY idea he has proposed,
he changes with the wind - as negotiator,
instead of standing on principles.

Q: Why did the Trump supporter cross the Mobius strip?

A: To get to the same side.

[OneVike]

Agree with Rubio on just what?

God I wish there was video capability here. You obviously did not watch the same debate last week I watched where the discussion immigration came up and trump said he agreed with Rubio on having flexiblity!

[Vigilanteman]

Hard to say. But Scoop Jackson certainly would not have lost 49 states.

[annieokie]

I can see his smile underneath all of his talk... just wait until the election is over... HUGE SIGH!

It is that smile that is so disturbing. Talks nonsense, smile head up with the Obama nose salute......as he listens to his adoring ill informed (his words) supporters cheer for his excellency to continue on with his nonsense, as if they understood everything he said.

That look & smile of Trumps tells me he is thinking "My God, they are so hooked and they believe every bit of nonsense I spew out, I can get by with anything". Obama was/is a Pro at that same look and smile.........., but alas we have it again.

[AndyJackson]

The difference is that the democrats promise to give back some of what they stole, and sometimes do. The Republicans just promise to steal less in the future, but steal more.

[annieokie]

lol........but correct

[Roccus]

Republicans will never win another presidential election without the votes of working class whites.

100% CORRECT!!

Too bad the GOP looks on us as knuckle draggers and wacko-birds.

[dadfly]

Reagan democrats. like some working class families, they see a little glimmer of hope in trump.

[Theodore R.]

Teamsters have a deep commitment to “the democracy”. I won’t count too much on November 8 defections.

[central_va]

Cruz supports TPA and h-1B, his wife works for Goldman Sachs and historically Cruz has been for amnesty. All of these things are for the benefit of corporations at he expense of eh American worker. A government-corporate conspiracy. Does this make Cruz a Fascist?

[annieokie]

ROFL......certainly couldn’t navigate a Maze then.

[dragnet2]

The teamsters found out their now totally outnumbered by unionized government employees.

In fact there are now more unionized government employees than exist in all of private sector America.

All brought to you by loser leadership, career lawyers/politicians.

[dartuser]

The break down of support over all is democrat, which is why open primaries are his victories.

KY was a closed primary ... lets stop with the nonsense.

[annieokie]

Here’s a clue for you:::Who made this totally a Trump thread, or have you not noticed all the Cruz supporters on here......go back an survey a bit more. Then ignore what you don’t like or stay in your own CIRCLE.
